--:-- Shea Stevens: The U.S. Supreme Court is weighing arguments over whether the President can bypass Congress to impose tariffs using national security as the reason. As NPR's Daniel Kirchleben reports, the case is yet one other opportunity for the high court to determine the extent of the president's authority.
--:-- Daniel Kirchleben: The case focused on the country-by-country tariffs that Trump imposed on goods from nearly the entire world this year. Trump authorized those tariffs using a 1977 law known as the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEPA, which gives a president broad powers during an emergency.
--:-- Daniel Kirchleben: The businesses and states bringing the case argued that IEPA does not explicitly give presidents the power to tariff just to regulate imports. They added that the Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to raise revenue.
--:-- Daniel Kirchleben: The administration argued however that the phrase regulate imports includes the power to tariff. They also argued that a president has broad powers when it comes to foreign relations.

--:-- Shea Stevens: Young Americans helped Democrats win big in several key races on Tuesday. That voting demographic typically has low turnout in off-year elections, as NPR's Elena Moore explains.
--:-- Elena Moore: From gubernatorial matchups in New Jersey and Virginia to the mayoral race in New York City, youth turnout appears to have significantly increased, according to an early analysis from the research organization Circle.
--:-- Elena Moore: Exit polls also show young people overwhelmingly backed Democrats. Mikey Sherrill in New Jersey and Abigail Spamburger in Virginia each received roughly 70 percent of the under-30 vote in their gubernatorial races.
--:-- Elena Moore: And in New York City, nearly 80 percent of young voters cast a ballot for Zoran Mamdani for mayor.
--:-- Elena Moore: Concern about the rising cost of living was a key theme in each race and remains a major issue for young voters across the country.

--:-- Shea Stevens: The Federal Aviation Administration says it will reduce air traffic by 10 percent across some of the nation's busiest airports in order to maintain safety during the government shutdown. As NPR's Joel Rose reports, the agency is dealing with persistent shortages of air traffic controllers.
--:-- Joel Rose: The FAA is planning to reduce air traffic in 40 high markets beginning on Friday. FAA Administrator Brian Bedford says the agency wants to reduce the pressure at those airports before safety is compromised.
--:-- Joel Rose: We're not going to wait until we see something flashing red to say, oh, we should take action now.
--:-- Joel Rose: The FAA has already been delaying flights at some airports because of staffing shortages among air traffic controllers.
--:-- Joel Rose: Those controllers are required to work without pay during the shutdown, but some have taken on second jobs and many are calling out sick.
--:-- Joel Rose: Bedford and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy say they'll meet with airline leaders to figure out how to implement the reductions fairly before announcing the details.

--:-- Shea Stevens: Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have given closed-door briefings on the growing U.S. military presence in international waters.
--:-- Shea Stevens: The two officials updated congressional leaders on the U.S. military strikes on small boats in the Pacific and Caribbean.
--:-- Shea Stevens: Two people were killed in the latest incident on Tuesday in the eastern Pacific. That brought to 66 the number of people killed in 16 U.S. military strikes on alleged drug boats since September.
--:-- Shea Stevens: Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear says at least 12 people were killed in the UPS cargo plane crash near the airport in Louisville.
--:-- Shea Stevens: The plane crashed and exploded Tuesday shortly after taking off for a flight to Honolulu.
--:-- Shea Stevens: Tuberculosis claims more than 3 lives a year and many sufferers live in low-income countries where health care is hard to obtain. NPR's Gabriela Emanuel reports on how AI is helping.
--:-- Gabriela Emanuel: In more than 80 countries, mobile x-ray machines are being combined with AI models to instantly screen people for TB.
--:-- Gabriela Emanuel: This is being used for nomadic tribes in Nigeria and refugee camps in Chad.
--:-- Gabriela Emanuel: Peter Sands heads the Global Fund. There are no radiologists. So who gets to look at the thing and say, is there a problem here or not? Well, actually, AI does. It's brilliant.
--:-- Gabriela Emanuel: Advocacy groups like Stop TB have embraced this approach. But some health experts have cautioned that many low-income countries don't yet have the regulations to make sure the technology has quality control checks.
