A total loss. Brian was easy going and genuinely kind at 3:00 AM every day. It's just who he was. He was always game to talk music and NFL recaps.

Brian Jarboe, longtime NPR technical director and my frequent companion working ridiculous hours, has died after an extended health crisis.

Brian’s brought you the human voice, beautifully captured, and I want you to hear his voice. 1/2

Correction: A previous version of this post misidentified the South Caucasus as belonging to Russia. The region, made up of territory in Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan, is not part of Russia. We deleted the previous tweet.

Incredible story about searching for a family's history from Poland in 1939. "Wars continue," says @RosieBlau, " the silence doesn't have to."

A few hours ago, a magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck off the Alaska Peninsula, just south of Sand Point. Local residents and summer visitors alike were able to evacuate thanks to federal tsunami advisories relayed through local public broadcasting stations.

That’s the real world. But here in the U.S. Senate, we are currently debating a rescissions package that would severely cut funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, drastically affecting Alaska’s 27 public media stations and many more across the nation.

Some colleagues claim they are targeting “radical leftist organizations” with these cuts, but in Alaska, these are simply organizations dedicated to their communities. Their response to today’s earthquake is a perfect example of the incredible public service these stations provide. They deliver local news, weather updates, and, yes, emergency alerts that save human lives.

I want to thank KMXT in Kodiak, KUCB in Unalaska, and KSDP in Sand Point for giving Alaskans real-time updates and keeping us safe.

The tsunami warnings are now thankfully canceled, but the warning to the U.S. Senate remains in effect. Today of all days, we should vote down these misguided cuts to public broadcasting.

Morning in Kyiv. No sleep. Air quality is extremely bad. City is covered in thick smoke.

This is Russian terror, aimed at people who chose to stay, resist and fight.

It’s big, but it’s certainly not beautiful. After 27 hours of non-stop voting and debate the American Senate passed Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Our US editor, @JohnPrideaux, explains how the bill could affect America https://t.co/ZGC4bIpI6q

If you want to see how the Trump administration seems to have made up its tariff rates out of thin air, let's look at Jordan, the first Arab country to sign a free-trade agreement with the US (in 2000). It got whacked with a 20% tariff rate anyway, among the region's highest. 🧵

A hugely deserved tribute to NPR's Anas Baba, who's covered every brutal day of the war from inside Gaza. “I asked NPR on day 250 to stop asking me the question, ‘How are you today?’ Because I’m out of all answers, literally I don’t know what to say.” https://t.co/4DfMgK1Dfc

Simply stupendous portrait of Ahmed al-Sharaa, Syria’s new leader, by @NicolasPelham. So many previously unreported details. Read it all, and enjoy the wonderful @OliverGMarsden photos of Damascus in a time of tumultuous change
