In yesterday's podcast, we brought you the history of how a white mob devastated Tulsa's Greenwood District during the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. Afterward, Black residents rebuilt and flourished, but what would come next would largely destroy the neighborhood — and much of its wealth — for good: the construction of the I-244 highway. But first, President Donald Trump is headed to Capitol Hill to get the GOP tax bill over the finish line.

From the BBC World Service: Chinese EV battery maker CATL, which supplies batteries for Tesla and Toyota, has just gone public on Hong Kong's stock exchange, raising more than $4.5 billion. That makes it the biggest listing in the world this year. We have the details. Also on the program, we learn about an Australian government plan to improve the lives and economic realities of people with autism.

California is known for being home to Hollywood and Silicon Valley. But the Golden State also has millions of acres of farmland, and we’re exploring how technology is changing that landscape in a series this week about “Agtech Valley.”

We visited HMC Farms with its farm manager Drew Ketelsen, who took us to an orchard of Lady Erin yellow peach trees trained to grow in narrow upright pillars rather than the usual rounded shape.

These days, Canadian consumers aren’t just interested in supporting their own homegrown businesses — they’re also actively avoiding American ones. In this episode, Marketplace’s Kimberly Adams visits businesses in Ontario to hear why our neighbors to the north are shunning U.S.-made products. Plus: An economist dissects the Moody’s downgrade of the U.S. credit rating, a Black-owned lender leverages grants from major banks to support its community and AI threatens the software engineering job sector.

Walmart had said it would raise prices in response to tariffs. Then, it got a call from the White House. Now, the retailer says it will swallow some of the costs. This has us wondering: where have all the free market diehards gone? Plus, Kimberly reflects on the tornadoes that hit her hometown of St. Louis, Missouri and explains FEMA’s plan to shift disaster costs to the states. Also? Did the GOP really name their reconciliation bill the “One Big Beautiful Bill?”

Here’s everything we talked about today:

• "Bessent says Walmart will absorb 'some tariffs' after speaking with retailer's CEO" from Fox Business
• "FEMA will shift more disaster recovery responsibilities to the states, acting chief says" from PBS News
• "Here’s the latest information on Friday’s tornado in St. Louis" from STLRP
• "Trump's bill advances in rare weekend vote as House conservatives negotiate changes" from NPR

As part of our "Buy Now, Pay Later" series — produced in partnership with Next Avenue, a nonprofit news platform for older adults produced by Twin Cities PBS — we'll hear firsthand from 70-year-old Loreli Taylor, a Social Security beneficiary who took out student loans decades ago and still has debt to pay down. She's not alone; the number of student loan borrowers 62 and older is up sharply. Also, borrowing rates are rising.

Today, to start a three-part series examining America's persistent racial wealth gap, we head to Tulsa, Oklahoma. There, in 1921, a violent white mob destroyed the thriving Greenwood neighborhood — then known as America's "Black Wall Street.” The event wiped out much of the prosperity experienced by the area’s Black residents and, along with it, the opportunity for intergenerational wealth-building. We'll learn about the history and attempts at restitution. But first: a downgrade of the nation's credit rating.

From the BBC World Service: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to unveil the results of a reset in post-Brexit relations with the EU on defense, trade and fishing rights. We'll hear more. Then, Canada is home to 2 million Indigenous people, roughly half of whom say they struggle to afford basics, including food. Historically, Indigenous Canadians were limited from profiting from food production by law, but the government has now pledged to increase food security.

Having a baby in the era of apps, influencers, subreddits and Facebook groups, has its ups and downs.

Journalist Amanda Hess thought she knew all about it as an internet culture writer for the New York Times, but found herself surprised when she was the one expecting.

She writes about how pregnancy magnified her relationship with technology in a new memoir, “Second Life: Having a Child in the Digital Age.”

It begins, actually before conception — with the period-tracking app, Flo Health.

University retirement communities — where a college partners with a senior living community to provide residents access to classes, concerts, sporting events and more — are rising in the U.S. It's an attempt by some colleges to cater to the growing number of Americans over 65. We'll visit one just outside of Baltimore. Also: what a disconnect between hard data and soft data means for the Federal Reserve and how Chinese exporters are pivoting amid tariff uncertainty.
