- Expensive and exhausting: Why caregivers need to care for themselves, tooCaregiving services for seniors can easily cost more each year than what the average American makes. And health insurers, both government and private, may not provide the coverage people need.
That leads many people to step in and do the work for free. But caregivers need to take care of themselves, too.
That's something Dawnita Brown knows all too well, as a caregiver to both her parents, and founder of The Binti Circle. It's a group she founded for Black daughters like her who are doing caregiving work.

NPR Privacy Policy11 min - Tornado recovery in St. Louis is a mess. The city blames Trump's FEMA changesIt's been six months since a tornado hit St. Louis and damaged more than five thousand buildings and homes.
Residents and local officials say the Trump administration's new policy on federal disaster assistance has meant they have been left to do the work traditionally done by FEMA.
Editor's note: After this story aired, the Federal Emergency Management Agency responded to NPR's request for comment. In a statement, FEMA said that it has not implemented any new policies or "experiments" related to its programs that provide aid to individuals and local governments. It also said that “the administration cares deeply about the people of Missouri” and is fully committed to supporting Missouri and St. Louis leadership as they navigate recovery from the tornado. "Federal, state and local partners are fully aligned" to assist survivors, the statement said.

NPR Privacy Policy11 min - A Rolex, a gold bar, a trade deal and the ethics of presidential gifts
At a recent gathering of Swiss business executives in the White House, the CEO of Rolex presented President Trump with a gold-plated desk clock.
The CEO of a precious-metals company presented the president with an engraved gold bar.
They were not the official representatives of Switzerland’s economic agenda – but the following week, their government announced a trade deal that drastically lowered the U.S. tariff on imported Swiss goods from 39 percent to 15 percent – now on par with the European Union.
So were the gifts appropriate for the U.S. president to accept?
We hear from University of Minnesota law professor Richard Painter – formerly the chief White House ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush.

NPR Privacy Policy12 min - Democrats have released more Epstein emails. What next?
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released emails to and from Jeffrey Epstein that suggest Donald Trump may have known about Epstein’s sex-abuse operations.
In one, Epstein writes that Trump “knew about the girls.”
The White House has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing by Trump or meaningful connection to Epstein’s alleged crimes, and downplayed the new revelations as part of a “fake narrative.”
But House Democrats are pressing for a vote on legislation to release more Epstein documents.
Rep. Robert Garcia, the ranking Democratic member of the Oversight Committee, speaks on the latest developments.

NPR Privacy Policy10 min - Why Fetterman still thinks his party is wrong on Israel, shutdown & the working class
When John Fetterman won Pennsylvania's senate seat in 2022, Democrats across the country treated him as a hero and an example of a path forward for the party in the populist Trump era.
Three years later, he often finds himself at odds with his party – most recently, on the government shutdown, Israel, and working class voters.
He delves deeper into his political views and experiences in a new memoir out this week, titled Unfettered. In the book, he’s also deeply honest about his struggles with mental health.
“Honestly, I know millions of Americans suffer,” Fetterman told NPR. “And to really understand what [...] true deep depression is like [...] that's part of the conversation in the book.”
This episode was produced by Tyler Bartlam with audio engineering from Andie Huether. It was edited by Ashley Brown and Nadia Lancy. Our executive producer is Sami Yenigun.
You can also watch the full conversation between NPR’s Scott Detrow and Fetterman here.
