Many international students are rethinking their education in the United States as the federal government revokes visas, often over minor infractions. A shift away could carry a heavy economic toll, as international students contributed $44 billion to the U.S. economy last school year. So what happens when a generation of bright-eyed scholars decide to forgo school in the U.S. and take their dollars elsewhere?

NPR's Book of the Day - With ‘Rabbit Moon,’ Jennifer Haigh chooses Shanghai as the backdrop to family tragedy
Jennifer Haigh's latest novel Rabbit Moon opens with a hit and run accident in pre-dawn Shanghai. The victim is a 22-year-old American woman named Lindsey. Her parents immediately fly into Shanghai while Lindsey's sister awaits news from a New England summer camp – and the accident scars an already-fractured family. In today's episode, Haigh speaks with Here & Now's Scott Tong about their impressions of Shanghai, her interest in turning the idea of studying abroad on its head, and how she approached the topic of international adoption.

1A - Donald Trump’s (Second) First 100 Days
100 days. That's how long Donald Trump's been in office in 2025.
While this moment is usually a time to measure how the administration is faring, in many ways, the administration is a reflection of who we are as a nation.
We discuss what we're learning about who we are as Americans during this time. What do we want, and what do we stand for?
There have been executive orders, Signal group chats, federal agency cuts, firings, rehirings, ignored judicial rulings, billionaires, memes, tariffs, and so much more.
As we all take stock of the national implications of his Administration's moves, for this episode, we want to get a little more personal. We hear from you on how your life has changed since Trump took office for the second time.

Consider This from NPR - Trumps first 100 days have pushed the limits of presidential power to new levels
President Trump is pushing the boundaries of executive power in nearly every area of policy. From his trade war, to immigration, to education, to the reductions in the federal workforce.
Many of his actions are direct challenges to the Courts and to Congress. Those two branches of government are designed to act as checks on the president.
Trump has governed largely by unilateral executive action... and left lawmakers on the sidelines.
NPR's Juana Summers talks with political correspondents Mara Liasson and Susan Davis about the changing power dynamic.

NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘Putin’s Revenge,’ Lucian Kim traces the lead-up to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
For more than 20 years, Lucian Kim covered Russia and Ukraine as a journalist. Now, the former NPR reporter is out with a new book that aims to explain the confluence of personal and geopolitical motivations that led to Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Putin's Revenge identifies key moments in the decades leading up to the invasion, including the 2004 Orange Revolution, George W. Bush's support of NATO membership for Ukraine, and Russia's 2014 seizure of Crimea. In today's episode, Kim talks with Here & Now's Robin Young about several turning points in the conflict, the evolution of Putin's position towards the West and Ukraine, and why Kim was initially drawn to cover Russia as a story of a collapsed empire.
