So excited to have @asmamk at the BBC building a new podcast!
Some personal news — I’m leaving NPR next month (More on that in a moment). I walked into NPR as an intern in the fall of 2007. And fell in love with the power of audio. Thank you to all the reporters/editors/producers over the years — opportunities beyond my wildest dreams.
Earlier I went on @BBCNews with @SumiSomaskanda to explain why the One Big Beautiful Bill is exactly what America needs. Republicans campaigned on securing our borders, cutting waste and fraud, and putting America first. Tonight @HouseGOP has the chance to deliver on that…

Tune into the President's Path tonight on @BBCWorld at 1830 EST/2230 GMT. In this episode, @CaitrionaPerry @SumiSomaskanda and I look at Trump's unique approach to foreign policy - which has been on full display during the Iran-Israel conflict.
Your weekly reminder that the President's Path is on at 1830 EST/2230 GMT. In this week's episode, @CaitrionaPerry @SumiSomaskanda and I dive into all things DoD ahead of the Army's 250th anniversary parade this weekend.
A fascinating interview by @Sarakshi with UK ambassador UK ambassador Sir Peter Mandelson - a man who, at least initially had a chorus of naysayers and detractors on both sides of the pond. Does he feel he's proven them wrong? thehill.com/business/53404…
Earlier this week, I committed a cardinal journalism sin and said the "Q-word" out loud. Repeatedly. But on the plus side, that led to @CaitrionaPerry, @SumiSomaskanda and I having plenty to talk about on this week's President's Path, tonight @BBCWorld at 1830 EST/2230 GMT.
It's been a very busy week at the White House and we'll be talking about it all - including the explosive Ramaphosa-Trump Oval Office meeting - on the President's Path tonight on @BBCWorld at 1830 EST/2230 GMT. With @CaitrionaPerry and @SumiSomaskanda.
Lovely to join my colleagues on Ukrainecast 👇🏾

A legendary addition to our team! We’re thrilled to welcome Michael Jordan as a special contributor to the NBA on NBC and Peacock.

Haben Sie damit gerechnet, Herr Scholz? „Nein!“, sagt Scholz auf @sternde-Frage. „Das ist absurd.“ So eine Wahl sei „kein Spaß“, sagt ein hörbar angefressener geschäftsführender Bundeskanzler auf der Fraktionsebene. Man könne den Schaden aber „in Ordnung bringen“.
The interviewer’s name should be here - and prominent elsewhere in this rollout too - it’s the brilliant @bbcnadatawfik 👏 👏 bbc.co.uk/news/videos/c1…
