These men voted for President Trump. They have very different views of how he's doing

https://www.npr.org/2026/05/19/nx-s1-5788971/swing-voters-trump-president-approval-2026-midterms

Ok, so who are the 26% of black voters still backing Trump, the guy who ensures that fewer black congresspeople are elected, who's supporters don't think black people should have equal rights, who's SecDef ensures black US Army commanders are not promoted and forced into retirement?

"Listen, I am so pro-Trump, people just don't even understand," said Gerald, sitting at the kitchen table he and his wife share with their blended family after a long day at work as a truck driver. "The dude is amazing because he's not following the script."

Literally, he can't name one "good" think Trump has actually done. Just "not following the script" because the script says you are elected to make the citizen's lives better, not enrich yourself, crash the economy, and flounder into wars you aren't prepared to win. When I don't "follow the script" at work, they call it incompetence. But with Trump, it's somehow a strength.

NPR trims jobs in newsroom overhaul as it confronts era without public funding

President and CEO Katherine Maher said rescission blew an $8 million hole in their $300 million budget. This is compounded by a drop in station fees (an indirect consequence of rescission) and corporate sponsorship revenue.

They are offering buyouts to 300 employees, mostly within newsgathering desks but not including staff of the news programs. They will accept up to 30 buyouts and it they don't get enough buyouts, they will carry out targeted layoffs.

She says a wave of donations after rescission helped soften the impact of rescission, which could have led to a much bigger deficit.

SAG-AFTRA commends NPR for handling the cuts in a fair manner.
