Former President and likely Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has been kicked off primary ballots in Maine and Colorado. His name on the ballot is being challenged in several other states across the country. All the challenges are based on the insurrection clause in the 14th amendment and stem from Trump's involvement in the January 6th attack on the US Capitol.

The trauma of war and its aftermath can leave scars on those who survive - deep scars that can be both physical and emotional.
For children who experience war, trauma can cut deep, reshaping every part of their lives.
While we hear news reports from war zones, stories from survivors don't often include children's voices.
The War Childhood Museum is a unique place, dedicated to creating a space for those affected by war as children to tell their stories and donate items of significance.
The museum collects and preserves the stories of both adults, describing their experiences as children, and of children currently living with war.
The museum houses audio, video and objects from World War II to the current war in Ukraine - a collection that spans both the globe and time.
NPR's Adrian Ma speaks with Jasminko Halilovic about growing up in war torn Bosnia, and dignity and resilience of children facing war.

2023 might go down as the year that artificial intelligence became mainstream. It was a topic of discussion everywhere - from news reports, to class rooms to the halls of Congress.
ChatGPT made its public debut a little over a year ago. If you'd never thought much about AI before, you're probably thinking - and maybe worrying - about it now.
Jobs are an area that will almost certainly be impacted as AI develops. But whether artificial intelligence will free us from drudge work, or leave us unemployed depends on who you talk to.
Host Ari Shapiro speaks with NPR's Andrea Hsu on how people are adapting to AI in the workplace and ways to approach the technology with a plan instead of panic.
This episode also feature's reporting on AI and Hollywood background actors from NPR's Bobby Allyn.
