President Trump issued an executive order on Thursday to end all federal funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).

“Government funding of news media in this environment is not only outdated and unnecessary but corrosive to the appearance of journalistic independence,” the order reads. It says the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is supposed to remain impartial and unbiased —

Today, we’re talking about the very real possibility that the United States government might break up Google. To figure that all out, I invited Jonathan Kanter, the former assistant attorney general for antitrust under the Biden administration, to join me on Decoder again.

Jonathan left the DOJ after President Trump was elected, but he was the architect of the major antitrust cases that Google just lost, and which the Trump administration continues to pursue. In the first case, the court found that Google illegally maintained its monopoly over web search with a series of default placement deals, most particularly on the iPhone. That case is [back in court right now](https:/

On today’s episode of Decoder, we’re talking tariffs and trade wars. One of the ways I’ve been trying to sort out the chaos of this moment is by talking to the people behind the software that actually runs our global trade systems.

We got a lot of notes from listeners who really appreciated our episode with Altana’s Evan Smith, which laid out how data from his supply chain systems illustrated where manufacturing was moving as globalization starts to break down. So today I wanted to bring back one of my favorite Decoder guests: Flexport CEO Ryan Petersen, whose software manages the logistics of moving things around the world, from the fact

Elon Musk’s popularity with the American public is waning, according tothe latest polling average from Nate Silver’s Silver Bulletin. The billionaire CEO of multiple companies wears many hats, but the most visible one of late has been as the face of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an organization that has been tearing through the US government administrative state.

Silver Bulletin’s average shows that 53.5 percent of Americans have an unfavorable view of Musk, and only 39.6 percent of Americans see him favorably.

Donald Trump is reportedly losing sleep, battling anxiety, and obsessing over his polling numbers as the GOP nominee hopes to hang his hat on any sign that he will return to the White House.

A campaign official told Axios that Trump is asking more questions and pushing his staff to work even more to ensure that he will come out ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris come Election Day.

"Trump's anxiety is evident in his late-night and early morning calls to aides in which he peppers them with questions on how things are going---and whether they think he'll win," Axios reported.

The nationwide supply of EVs in stock has swelled nearly 350% this year, to more than 92,000 units.

That's a 92-day supply — roughly three months' worth of EVs, and nearly twice the industry average. For comparison, dealers have a relatively low 54 days' worth of gasoline-powered vehicles in inventory as they rebound from pandemic-related supply chain interruptions. In normal times, there's usually a 70-day supply. Notably, Cox's inventory data doesn't include Tesla, which sells direct to consumers.

Some brands are seeing higher EV inventories than others.

Genesis, the Korean luxury brand, sold only 18 of its nearly $82,000 Electrified G80 sedans in the 30 days leading up to June 29, and had 210 in stock nationwide — a 350-day supply, per Cox research. Other luxury models, like Audi's Q4 e-tron and Q8 e-tron and the GMC Hummer EV SUV, also have bloated inventories well above 100 days. All come with hefty price tags that make them ineligible for federal tax credits. Imported models
