Millions of American workers have been receiving $600 from the federal government each week during the pandemic in the form of unemployment assistance. But that's set to expire by the end of the month, leaving many in a high state of anxiety.  People are facing income losses of up to 70% without federal pandemic unemployment assistance, says Indivar Dutta-Gupta, co-executive director of Georgetown's Center on Poverty and Inequality and an economic adviser to the campaign of presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden.   "Families are going to face high rates of eviction, homelessness, food insecurity, hunger," he tells NPR's Sarah McCammon. "And the economy overall is going to see much slower progress in a recovery than otherwise." In excerpts from his interview on All Things Considered, Dutta-Gupta explains what's expected to happen to the broader economy if these benefits are allowed to expire. Most people can apply for unemployment benefits from their state as well. But that state benefit can vary a lot depending on where you live. In Arizona, the maximum is $240 a week. How well is the typical household able to live off that much? Families really need well over $600 a week. And even when you add in the state benefits, it's really grossly inadequate. There's just no way to afford the cost of housing, the cost of care-giving, the cost of food. Really, the $600 is just helping families stay afloat.  Who will be hit the hardest if this $600 a week goes away? It's disproportionately going to be Black and brown workers for a couple of reasons. One is that safety net that families typically lack in the U.S. ... personal savings. Liquid savings are grossly inadequate in the United States, especially for people who have some of the lowest pay. You combine that with an extraordinary racial wealth gap where Latinx and Black families have about a 10th of the wealth of white families. And you can see that very quickly, you're going to start exacerbating virtually every inequity in this country if we allow the $600 benefit increase to expire. What would the impacts be on the economy more broadly if this funding goes away?  What has happened right now in the economy is that a lot of families can no longer afford to spend on goods and services, even the most basic ones, to survive without government support ... That means that overall demand in the country has shrunk dramatically and that will lead to further layoffs, further income losses. In just about a week and a half, we're going to see hundreds of billions of dollars in reductions in spending get underway because Congress has failed to act to date. Many Republicans and critics of the $600 unemployment benefit say that some people can make more money receiving those payments than if they went back to their jobs or found a new job. How do you respond to people who are concerned about that? We added 5 million jobs in the month of June. There has been study after study investigating whether or not there's any negative effect on employment from the $600 weekly benefit increase. And everything that we're seeing in these studies suggests not only is there not a negative effect, there might even be a positive effect on employment.  The reality of why people aren't working today has nothing to do with the generosity of unemployment insurance benefits. People aren't working today because there is a virus that's contagious, that's lethal, and that is not being contained. People aren't working today because they don't have child care or paid leave. People aren't working today because there aren't enough safe workplaces for them to go to. The $600 increase, if anything, is stabilizing the economy, growing employment, and has posed no barrier to date on the record increases in employment that we've seen in recent months.

Question: Heavy Rotation: 10 Songs Public Radio Can't Stop Playing

Each month, we ask 10 DJs and music directors from public radio stations around the country to tell us about the songs they keep playing. This month's mix features several collaborations between well-known artists and up-and-coming stars. Otis Jr. and a band of Louisville all-stars (including members of My Morning Jacket, Wax Fang and Twin Limb) cover a Willie Dixon classic. Johnny Marr, formerly of The Smiths, teams up with British actress Maxine Peake for a spoken-word song about homelessness. In perhaps the most surprising combination, Italian film composer Daniele Luppi collaborates with the Brooklyn post-punk band Parquet Courts on "Soul And Cigarette." Hear all the songs below.  Anna Burch, '2 Cool 2 Care' From Quit The Curse My ears always perk at the phrase: "Can I be real for a second?" What follows is almost always better than the standard polite chit-chat for nice people (public radio stations are full of that). When Anna Burch sings, "I like you best, when you're a mess," I can't help but think she shares that affinity. "2 Cool 2 Care" puts a bubblegum filter on why people are most relatable when they're vulnerable. Burch feels lovably skeptical when touching on attraction and boredom; these are pop music staples for sure, but her spin on them is a fun one. This record should be a biggie in 2018.  —Nick Brunner, Capital Public Radio's Hey, Listen!  Jordan Rakei, 'Eye To Eye' From Wallflower When Jordan Rakei opens his mouth on "Eye To Eye," all you hear is heartache. The tone in his undulating voice, set to the strum of pretty guitar chords, breaks every romantic's heart. "It's the birth of a star," Rakei sings prophetically in the opening lines. You said it, kid. The song, the first cut off the Australian singer-songwriter's second full-length, Wallflower, is a tale of all-consuming adulation told through juxtaposed poetic images. But the words might as well be nonsense as it's his sound — a quivering voice that suggests Devendra Banhart and Anohni — that carries the real message. The track, like the artist, daringly skirts pop, R&B and indie rock. It's an experimental variant of the sad bastard music we fall sway to when life turns blue. Rakei is no also-ran. At the two-minute mark, he surrenders any notion of being Elliott Smith reborn when the music left-turns into a Radiohead-esque angular guitar maze. After two more minutes of vocal vamping, it morphs again into a synthetic anthem that fuses haunting "Karma Police" electric piano, mechanical drum rolls and cymbal-crashing syncopation. "Pleasure to have met you," he coos to his beloved. The feeling is mutual.  —David Hyland, Wisconsin Public Radio  Daniele Luppi & Parquet Courts, 'Soul And Cigarette' From MILANO At first glance, this looks to be a rather unlikely pairing, but once you get past the initial shock of teaming the Italian film composer with the Brooklyn post-punk outfit, you realize this is a match made in heaven. The song comes from MILANO, Luppi's tribute to Milan in the '80s, spotlighting the decadence and deviance of the time. The city was alive, and the possibilities appeared endless. "Soul And Cigarette" shares this optimism, opening with the whimsical sounds of a glockenspiel and containing lush lyrics that are rich with imagery. Parquet Courts approach this song in the same manner as the The Modern Lovers or Pavement: a reserved style that holds back, but you know they could unleash power on a moment's notice. "Soul And Cigarette" is one of those songs that transports you to a time and place far away and makes you never want to leave. —Benji McPhail, The Colorado Sound  The Weather Station, 'Thirty' From The Weather Station Female voices are louder than ever, and The Weather Station is no exception. Toronto-based musician Tamara Lindeman, known as The Weather Station, has released her fourth, self-titled album, and a video for its latest single, "Thirty."  The song, and its socially relevant video, narrates a tale about the uncertain first year of her transitional third decade. In the video, Lindeman is performing alone in front of a crowd of men in a television studio. She conveys a lot with so little, feverishly telling a familiar story of being loved and dismissed. The airy quality of her vocals is endearing while she spins a vivid, intensely personal narrative through the lyrics. The detailed description of these accounts immediately reels you in: "Yeah, I could see it so simple, unsubtle / Impossible, clearly / And strange / Far and as close as a mountain range / On the horizon driving all day / There I was, so sane / So plain after everything." With a voice that is often compared to fellow Canadian Joni Mitchell, The Weather Station has established her own brand of sad optimism coupled with the confidence and determination of Aimee Mann. —Vasilia Scouras, WVPB's Mountain Stage  Joon Moon, 'Tiger' From Moonshine Corner There's a rich history of American artists creating some of their best work in France, and plenty

Fewshot example: "['Represent the subtitle to find a news title on NPR with less details', 'Republicans rarely meet a tax cut that they don\'t like. Now that they have found one, they are finding it politically impossible to stop it. On Tuesday, President Obama called on Congress to extend a 2 percentage point reduction in payroll taxes, which fund Social Security. The cut, enacted last year, is otherwise set to expire at the end of the month. The current cut means a savings of about $20 a week to a worker who earns $50,000 a year and about $2,000 a year to someone making $100,000. House Republicans have already signaled that they will allow an extension through the end of the year. They were badly burned at the end of 2011, when the tax cut was originally set to expire and GOP members of Congress found themselves accused of wanting to raise taxes on working Americans.  Read More That raises the question of when it\'s ever going to be OK to restore payroll tax rates to their usual levels — and what that will mean for Social Security\'s financing over the long haul. Most Republicans still think the payroll tax cut is a bad idea precisely because it will eventually eat into Social Security\'s already precarious finances. They think it also has a limited benefit in terms of stimulating the economy. But they have calculated that the political costs would be too high to make a stand now. "A lot of Republicans will think that extending it is not the best policy," says Andrew Biggs, a resident scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute and a former Social Security Administration official. "The question is whether it is so important to them to stop the payroll tax cut that they\'re willing to pay a massive political price to do so, and I would guess not." That puts Obama and congressional Democrats in a good position. They get to extend an economic policy they like, while reaping political gains for doing so. But even liberals are starting to worry that the payroll tax cut, which was always meant to provide a temporary boost to the economy, could be difficult to restore to historic levels. For now, shortfalls in expected revenues for Social Security are being made up through general fund revenues. But over the course of the expected 10-month extension, that will add $100 billion to the federal deficit. "There\'s a concern that, even though the Social Security trust funds are being held harmless for the time being, that might be difficult to do over the longer run," says Paul Van de Water, a senior fellow at the liberal Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, and another former Social Security Administration official. Failing to raise the payroll tax back up, or making up the lost revenues through other means, would double the gap in long-term Social Security funding that already exists, Biggs says. "You have a system that\'s running roughly a 2 percentage point deficit," says Eric Kingson, co-director of Social Security Works, an advocacy group. "You can\'t cut 2 percent more out of it without having a problem." That has Social Security supporters nervous. Obama\'s budget, released on Monday, assumes that the payroll tax cut will expire in 2013. But observers already expect — even if the will is there to let the tax go back up at the end of the year — that it will not be done all at once, but rather in slow, phased increments. Some, such as Van de Water, are also worried that increasing the payroll tax to its historic level will trigger a good deal of political bargaining. Republicans may want to partially privatize Social Security accounts using the portion of taxes that are restored, while Democrats may seek to raise the current cap on salary levels that are subject to the payroll tax — in effect, seeking a tax hike on higher-income workers in exchange for letting taxes increase for everyone else. Such bargaining would complicate an already contentious question — simply letting the payroll tax climb back up. What was once considered a normal rate will now be considered a tax hike. Reverting to the status quo is now politically dicey. Kingson says he thinks Obama and other Democrats will allow the payroll tax cut to expire next January. Republicans may be happy to accommodate such a policy change, which they support anyway. But Kingson worries that the politics of the issue may mean the tax cut will become enshrined as the new baseline expectation. "If things go south on us, it has the potential to be very problematic for Social Security in the future by undermining its financing," he says.']" == "['Represent this short title to find a subtitle that might be right below it on NPR', 'Can Congress Ever Restore Payroll Taxes To Their Usual Levels?']"

Question: Represent the headline to find a news subtitle on NPR with more details

Question: Can Big Food Kick Its Obesity Habit? Does It Really Want To?

A few days ago, two big names in food policy squared off for a formal debate on the following proposition: There is a fundamental and irreconcilable conflict between the food and beverage industry's interests and public health policy interests on obesity.  Kelly Brownell,who leads the Yale Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity, led the anti-industry charge. He was opposed by Derek Yach, a soft-spoken South African who provoked much head-scratching in 2007 when he left the World Health Organization to take a senior executive job at PepsiCo. (Yach recently left PepsiCo to join The Vitality Group, an arm of a South African insurance company that promotes wellness.) The proposition they debated contained some hidden historical spice. At the close of the debate, moderator Thomas Bollyky revealed that it was lifted from a landmark international treaty called the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), adopted in 2003. The words "tobacco industry" were simply replaced by "food and beverage industry," and "on obesity" added. (Interestingly, Yach was one of the architects of this treaty while at the WHO.) So is PepsiCo really today's Phillip Morris? Brownell certainly thinks so. At the debate, sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations and held in its posh midtown Manhattan building, Brownell argued that food companies are fundamentally untrustworthy. He pointed to cases in which the industry set up front groups to fight a soda tax in California and fought national guidelines that would restrict the marketing of unhealthy food to children. Perhaps because Yach stood beside him, or perhaps because of the pompous surroundings — David Rockefeller gazed down on the speakers from an enormous portrait on the wall — Brownell kept his rhetoric rather muted. In an article that he authored earlier this year, however, he hinted at parallels with Munich, 1938: "When the history of the world's attempt to address obesity is written, the greatest failure may be collaboration with and appeasement of the food industry." The food industry can do some good things, Brownell admitted, when it comes to fighting hunger or promoting sustainable agricultural practices. But "obesity is a different kettle of fish" because solving it conflicts directly with the industry's most basic imperative: To sell more food. All of the industry's much-celebrated "healthy eating" campaigns and partnerships with public health initiatives, Brownell says, amount to "baby steps" that simply obscure this basic fact. Brownell dismissed the idea that companies could also prosper by selling better, healthier, more expensive food. There's no evidence, globally, that this market will be more than a niche, he said. Yach, for his part, didn't bother trying to defend the entire industry or its current practices and products. He pointed, instead, to signs of a future still unfolding. The real parallel to obesity isn't tobacco, Yach said, but climate change - a problem that will demand the expertise of industry. Just as energy companies once just tried to sell more oil, "the multinational food and beverage business model has favored quantity over quality," he admitted. And just as energy companies are now investing in green energy, the food industry is starting to realize "that this must change if if is to survive and prosper. I witnessed the intensity of change while at PepsiCo for the last five years." The market share of mid- and low-calorie beverages in PepsiCo's lineup, he said, was only 25 percent five years ago. Today, it is 50 percent, and "is likely to reach 75 per cent within the next five to eight years. And this is happening even in a recession, in a climate where short-term pressures are intense." Yach's most powerful words came near the end of the debate, in impromptu remarks that he added to his prepared script. The debate, by this time, had turned to the question of whether food industry representatives should be barred from policy-making discussions related to food, similar to a ban that governments have placed on scientists sponsored by the tobacco industry. Yach argued that the food industry is already changing, and there's more change in store, if the conversation continues. "We have to recognize that drawing opponents into debate changes them forever," he said. "I saw that happen in South Africa [with apartheid]. And I don't think that obesity is a bigger problem than what could have happened in South Africa, if you hadn't gone down the road of constructive engagement. ... We need more engagement, not less."

Weather-related electrical outages have risen over the last decade, and research indicates extreme weather events will occur with more intensity and frequency in the future, according to a recent report from John Hopkins University about the reliability of the country’s electrical grid.

Question: GOP Wave Sweeps Midterms

represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on npr!

The Republican Party dominated the midterm elections Tuesday. The GOP captured control of the Senate and solidified their hold on the House, as voters expressed displeasure with President Barack Obama and the Democrats. Here & Now’s Robin Young and Jeremy Hobson check in with our political analyst, Rick Klein, to see how this landscape shift will affect Congress and Washington politics going forward. Chris Grant, a political science teacher at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, also joins us to talk about what happened in Georgia’s Senate race and how Republican businessman David Perdue was able to make this a race about President Barack Obama — a playbook that worked across the country during this year’s midterm elections. Perdue defeated Democrat Michelle Nunn by eight points (45 to 53). Perdue will replace retiring Senator Saxby Chambliss. Grant will also touch upon what this will mean for Democrats moving forward, after losing control of the Senate. Guest

Question: Many Black People Say Police Killings Aren't 'Going To Be Fixed Overnight'

The police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosa, Wis., resonated with Roy Divine, who grew up 30 miles from the Milwaukee suburb, but says it "didn't feel that different" than the police killing of George Floyd that sparked nationwide protests earlier this summer. "It just felt like they all feel: sad and unfortunate and makes you angry, shake your head and just can't figure out why, or how, it is that this keeps happening," Divine said. "And how is it that it seems seemingly OK that this keeps happening, that nothing happens to these people that do these things." Still, Divine is hopeful. "This isn't going to be fixed overnight, but I'm optimistic that young folks and the older folks like myself who support them understand and accept that it's going to take some time," he said. "And the change is going to come, and we're committed to seeing that change." Divine and other Black Americans told NPR that while they don't believe this movement for racial justice will change much today, they hope it will help down the line. This summer, amid a national reckoning on race, NPR has been asking Black Americans to share their personal stories and their views on recent events. The shooting of two Black men has bookended the summer: Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police on Memorial Day, and Blake was paralyzed after being shot in the back by a police officer in late August in Kenosha. Protests exploded last month in Kenosha, where two protesters, Anthony M. Huber and Joseph Rosembaum, were fatally shot. Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, faces homicide charges in connection with those shootings. And protests broke out Wednesday in New York over the death of Daniel Prude, a Black man who died of asphyxiation after being restrained during an arrest in Rochester in March.  While Americans are increasingly polarized along racial and political party lines, nearly 65% of Americans agreed in a recent poll by Ipsos for NPR that the country "needs to continue making changes to give Black Americans equal rights with white Americans."  Only 13% said that it is "very likely" that police treatment of Black Americans will improve in the coming years, and another 48% said it is "somewhat likely," the poll shows. Ipsos conducted the poll of 1,008 U.S. adults Aug. 28-31. Its margin of error for the overall sample is 3 percentage points.  Keyana Miller, 23, a sixth-grade teacher in Chattanooga, Tenn., told NPR she doesn't think this moment is a tipping point, but she said she'll see change in her lifetime. "I really do," she said. "I know my life is drastically different from the life that my parents led. And I know I'm not that far off generationally from them. And I think about how drastically different my life is from my grandparents." Miller said her grandmother had "colored" written on her marriage license. "I cannot even believe or cannot even fathom that today."  Levi Blue, a 28-year-old gene therapy researcher in Durham, N.C.,  said he is hopeful that Americans are seeing the movement in a "different light." "Now we're here at this point in 2020, where it seems like now more of America is starting to come to the realization [that Black Lives Matter] as well on its own." "I definitely in my own time didn't have to face what some of my ancestors did," Blue said, adding that as his generation benefits from the activism of the ones before him, he hopes those after him will have that same opportunity. "I don't have to drink from the colored water fountain or nothing like that. So I'm reaping the benefits of what they went through at that time. But I also do think it is up to our generation as well to continue that fight so that more people after us will be able to reap more benefits as well." Nearly 500 people have responded since NPR reached out to Black Americans in early June. Some described how this moment does — and does not — feel like a turning point for racial justice in the United States.  "I'm positive that a change is going to come," said Divine, 51, who now lives in Madison, Wis. "I do believe that this younger generation, folks that are my kids' age and younger, they get it." Divine has three daughters and believes that as they, and their peers, come into positions of power, they will help create a culture in which racial justice is more attainable.  "And so as they become a little bit more empowered, and grow, not just empowered, but are in power, they will be able to make those changes." Aaron Lawrence, a 37-year-old community college counselor who lives in Sacramento, Calif., told NPR that when he started at his job, there were just three counselors of color. Now, there are seven, and that representation has led him to be more hopeful for the future of racial justice in the country. He said his students are interested in the movement, which makes him feel encouraged.  "There's more representation, which brings more resistance," Lawrence said. "I'm hopeful because there are more fighters and there are more people speaking the right l

Question: Jeff Bezos Built Amazon 27 Years Ago. He Now Steps Down As CEO At Critical Time

Jeff Bezos stepped down as Amazon's CEO on Monday, exactly 27 years since he started the e-commerce giant in a garage in West Bellevue, Wash.  Bezos is handing day-to-day duties to his longtime deputy Andy Jassy but will continue to hold considerable sway as the company's executive chairman. Under Bezos, Amazon transformed itself from an online bookseller startup into the world's largest online retailer. Bezos led the company safely through the dot-com bubble bursting in the early 2000s then launched a period of ruthless expansion, pushing its influence far beyond Internet commerce.  Amazon now commands sizable businesses in grocery stores, cloud computing, smart devices, filmmaking and even fashion brands.  Bezos, the richest man on the planet, told employees earlier this year that handing the reins to Jassy would allow him to focus on other projects, like  philanthropic pursuits addressing climate change and his space exploration company Blue Origin (Bezos himself is planning to fly to the edge of space on a rocket built by the company in two weeks).  Bezos will remain Amazon's largest shareholder.  "Jeff is really not going anywhere," Brian Olsavsky, Amazon's Chief Financial Officer, told reporters in February. "It's more of a restructuring of who's doing what."  Jassy, who joined Amazon in 1997, had been the chief executive of Amazon Web Services, a cloud computing juggernaut that is Amazon's most profitable division and helps power large swaths of the Internet, including Netflix, Facebook and Twitter.  The transition arrives at a pivotal time for Amazon. The pandemic's shift to remote work was a major boon for the company, soaring profits as Americans confined at home shopped more online and demanded additional cloud computing resources.  Those new fortunes, however, come during a moment of growing pressure. Amazon's competitive practices are the subject of probes from Congress, the Justice Department, the Federal Trade Commission and regulators in Europe, as government officials accuse the company of abusing its market dominance.   Amazon drivers and other workers have alleged mistreatment and complained about breakneck working conditions in Amazon factories.  Brad Stone, a senior editor at Bloomberg News who has written two books about Amazon, said Bezos has an unusual gift for problem-solving and focusing on many disparate issues at once, but empathy has never been his strength. Jassy has long seen Bezos as a mentor, but colleagues have said he is more mild-mannered, soft-spoken and less prone to angry outbursts, compared to Bezos.  As Jassy takes over as CEO, one key challenge will be tamping down the rougher side of Amazon's empire infusing the company what Stone calls a more humble image.  "Jassy takes over at a critical time," Stone told NPR. "He's inheriting not just the tremendous success but all the baggage that comes with it."  Stone added that having Jassy at the helm may be aimed at changing perceptions of Amazon, a company that has become an inescapable part of daily life but one the author says elicits mixed feelings.  "I think Jassy has to kind of make Amazon a more empathetic company, a friendlier company," Stone said. "He has to find Amazon's heart."

Question: Maybe You Should Rethink That Daily Aspirin

We've all heard that an aspirin a day can keep heart disease at bay. But lots of Americans seem to be taking it as a preventive measure, when many probably shouldn't. In a recent national survey, more than half the adults who were middle age or older reported taking an aspirin regularly to prevent a heart attack or stroke. The Food and Drug Administration only recommends the drug for people wh have already experienced such an event or are at extremely high risk. The survey, published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, found that 52 percent of people ages 45 to 75 are taking aspirin daily or every other day. And 47 percent are taking it even though they have never had a heart attack or stroke. "That's very controversial in the medical community," says Craig Williams, a pharmacologist at Oregon State University, who led the study. Aspirin thins the blood and can help prevent blood clots that can clog blood vessels and cause strokes and heart attacks. But long-term use of the drug also increases the risk of ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding and bleeding in the brain. "Everyone agrees that for people who have already had a cardiac event, the benefits outweigh the risk," Williams says. But for most other people, the chance that aspirin will prevent a first heart attack is about equal to the chance that it will cause harmful side effects, research suggests. The American Heart Association says aspirin should be used only for prevention when someone's risk for heart disease is especially high. And Williams says that the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force is in the process of revising its recommendation, which currently holds that older men and women should generally take aspirin if their risk for heart attack outweighs the risk of bleeding due to the medication. In the survey by Williams' team, about 43 percent of people said they were taking the drug for prevention without having consulted a physician. That's a bad idea, says Steve Nissen, a cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic who wasn't involved in the study. "The vast majority of people in America who take aspirin for prevention are what I like to call the 'worried well,' " Nissen says. "They are perfectly healthy. They may not even have a lot of risk factors. But they're very health conscious. And somebody told them that aspirin was good for preventing heart attacks, so they just started taking it."

Question: Pass The Chipotle-Marrow Matzo Balls, It's Mexican Passover

Represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on NPR

The typical American Seder meal served on the first night of Passover tends to be hearty, comforting and pretty bland. But it doesn't have to be. At Rosa Mexicano, a New York-based chain of upscale Mexican restaurants, tried and true dishes like matzo ball soup and beef brisket are getting a spicy makeover this year for its 12th annual Mexican Passover week. Wait, you may be saying. Mexican Passover? There are Jews in Mexico? Actually, yes, although the country is 97 percent Catholic. Executive Chef David Suarez, who has been with Rosa Mexicano for nine years, says he loves to educate guests about the country's diversity. "There's always a small part of Mexico that people don't know about," he says. Suarez, a New York native with a Cuban-Jewish father and an Eastern European Jewish mother, knows about cultural mashups. "A lot of people don't know in Mexico City there's a huge Jewish population ... in the Polanco section," he says. There, it wouldn't be unusual to hear observant Jews, dressed in black from head to toe, speaking Hebrew with a Spanish accent. In fact, nearly 40,000 Jews live in Mexico, mostly in the capital, "where there are 23 synagogues, several kosher restaurants and at least 12 Jewish schools," according to The Jewish Virtual Library. Almost all of them are descended from immigrants who arrived between the late 1800s and 1939 to escape persecution in Europe. They brought with them traditional Passover foods like noodle soups, matzo and baked meats, says Alex Schmidt of the Mexican-Jewish food blog Challa-peno. Still, there is room for experimentation when cultures collide. "Every year when I was growing up, we'd go 'home' to Mexico for Passover. When I eat a spicy turkey sandwich between two pieces of matzo, feelings of being surrounded by family in a safe, loving place come simmering up," Schmidt told NPR back in 2011. Since Passover celebrates the Jews' freedom from slavery in ancient Egypt, can you think of a better celebration of freedom than stuffing some chipotle into your matzo balls? If you can't get to Rosa Mexicano while the Passover menu is available April 14 through 22, here are a couple of its recipes to try at home.  Rosa Mexicano's Sangria Haroset (Kosher) Makes 1 drink Editors' note: Haroset is typically a relish made of apples, honey, cinnamon, wine and walnuts that accompanies matzo at Passover meals. At Rosa Mexicano, it's a cocktail that mimics those flavors, plus a kick of tequila. 1.5 ounces Herradura Silver Tequila 1/2 ounce apple juice (use any natural, unfiltered or cold-pressed 100 percent apple juice like RW Knudson) 3/4 ounce fresh hand-squeezed lemon juice 1/2 ounce cinnamon syrup (sugar dissolved in water with cinnamon) 1/2 ounce honey syrup (two parts honey mixed with one part warm water) 1/4 ounce Manischewitz wine reduction (sweet kosher wine boiled down to a syrup) Garnish of 1/8-inch thick apple slices (3), fanned and skewered on a bamboo prism pick Combine ingredients except Manischewitz reduction in a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously with ice. Strain over fresh ice in a 10-ounce rocks glass. Drizzle Manischewitz reduction carefully on top of drink. It should not combine, but swirl in to add color. Garnish with apple slices.  Rosa Mexicano's Chipotle Marrow Matzo Balls Makes approximately 20 matzo balls. Editors' note: The restaurant serves this in a tangy pozole broth (hominy and pepper and beef for Passover, instead of pork), but it would be tasty in place of traditional matzo balls in chicken soup, too. 4 eggs 1/2 cup water 2 tablespoons schmaltz (chicken fat), or use vegetable oil 1 cup matzo meal 2 tablespoons marrow 1/2 chipotle pepper 1/8 teaspoon ginger, grated 2 heaping tablespoons cilantro, chopped 1 tablespoon onion, chopped In a blender, puree the chipotle pepper and cilantro with the water to make it smooth. In a bowl, beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are well-combined. Sautee the onion in the schmaltz until brown, and let cool. Take a large marrow bone and scoop out marrow with a knife. Drop the marrow in cold water and gently press with your fingers until all the blood is out and the marrow is white. (This takes a little time, but it's worth it.) Place the marrow in a mixing bowl and cream it until it has the consistency of mayonnaise. Add the egg and mix well. Add the puree and then the onion and ginger to the mixture until it is all well-incorporated. Gradually add the matzo meal until fully incorporated. Cover and refrigerate for two hours. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Form the matzo balls in your hand using about 1 1/2 tablespoons for each. Make smaller or larger depending on preference. Drop into boiling water and simmer for 30 minutes. Serve with soup.

Question: Fact-Checking Clinton, Obama's Political Sparring

represent the subtitle to find a news title on npr with less details.

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama have spent the past week trading accusations of fact-twisting and attacking each other's past jobs and voting records. The spat began Monday night, during the Democratic debate in South Carolina. NPR looks at the charges made by both sides and sorts the fact from fiction:  Did Clinton serve on the Wal-Mart board?  What Was Said: During Monday's debate, Obama told Clinton that while he was a community organizer in Chicago, "watching those folks see their jobs shift overseas, you were a corporate lawyer sitting on the board of Wal-Mart." The Truth: Clinton served on the Wal-Mart board of directors for six years, for which she was paid $18,000 a year, plus $1,500 a meeting. She also received roughly $100,000 in Wal-Mart stock. According to the nonpartisan Annenberg Political Fact Check, Clinton used her status on the board to urge the company to promote women and adopt more environmentally friendly practices –- although she never tackled the company's anti-union stance.  Which candidate admired former President Reagan?    What Was Said: Clinton challenged Obama for seeming to make positive remarks about former Republican President Ronald Reagan. Clinton's comments, made in South Carolina, with its large African-American voting base, implied that Obama embraced Reagan's economic policies — a damning charge, given how poorly a sizable portion of blacks fared during the eight years of the Reagan administration.   "You talked about admiring Ronald Reagan...and you talked about the ideas of the Republicans...I didn't talk about Ronald Reagan," Clinton said. The Truth: Obama met with the Reno Gazette-Journal's editorial board before the Nevada caucuses, telling them he admired Reagan's sense of innovation, even if he did not agree with the substance of those ideas. He said:  "I think Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that, you know, Richard Nixon did not, and in a way that Bill Clinton did not. He put us on a fundamentally different path, because the country was ready for it. I think they felt like, you know, with all the excesses of the '60s and the '70s, you know, government had grown and grown, but there wasn't much sense of accountability in terms of how it was operating, and I think people just tapped into — he tapped into what people were already feeling, which is we want clarity, we want optimism, we want a return to that sense of dynamism, and, and, you know, entrepreneurship that had been missing."  During the debate, Obama clarified his statement, noting that "Ronald Reagan was a transformative political figure because he was able to get Democrats to vote against their economic interests to form a majority to push through their agenda - an agenda that I objected to." But Clinton has also expressed admiration for Reagan. In the book Boom! Voices of the Sixties, Tom Brokaw writes of Clinton: "She prefers the godfather of the modern conservative movement, Ronald Reagan. He was, she says, 'a child of the Depression, so he understood it [economic pressures on the working and middle class]. When he had those big tax cuts and they went too far, he oversaw the largest tax increase. He could call the Soviet Union the Evil Empire and then negotiate arms-control agreements. He played the balance and the music beautifully.'"  What was Obama's connection to an indicted Chicago landlord? What Was Said: While she was busy fighting Reagan's ideas and policies, Clinton told Obama, "you were practicing law and representing your contributor, Rezko, in his slum landlord business in inner-city Chicago." The Truth: The Chicago law firm that Obama worked for as a low-level associate worked on a community housing project that was indirectly connected to Chicago landlord Tony Rezko.   Obama later became acquainted with Rezko, who became a campaign contributor to several Chicago politicians, including Obama.  In 2005, Obama and his wife also bought a 10-foot-wide strip of land from Rezko's wife; the land was adjacent to the Obama family's Chicago home. Some Illinois politicians criticized this land deal as an apparent conflict of interest. Rezko was widely reported to be under grand jury investigation at the time of the transactions, although Obama said this week that he had had no indication of any problems. Obama told NPR in 2006 that he should have paid more attention to how that real estate deal looked, but that nothing was done illegally. Rezko was indicted for trying to shake down investment firms seeking to do business with two Illinois state boards. Obama has given to charity more than $77,000 in past and present contributions that were linked to Rezko. Those contributions were to his House and Senate campaigns and his political action committee. None of the money was for his current presidential bid. From NPR staff reports and the Associated Press

Question: Sen. Mikulski, Groundbreaker For Female Legislators, Won't Seek Re-Election

A surprise political announcement Monday — the longest-serving woman in Congress, Democratic Sen. Barbara Mikulski of Maryland, said she will not seek re-election next year. Mikulski was first elected to the House in 1976, and 10 years later was elected to the Senate. Mikulski announced her decision in her hometown of Baltimore, not far from where she first became active in politics, organizing against a planned freeway that would have destroyed her neighborhood. The 78-year-old Mikulski said it came down to how she wanted to spend the next two years. "Do I spend my time raising money, or do I spend my time raising hell? Do I focus on my election, or do I focus on the next generation?" Mikulski, though short in stature, is known as a tough and tenacious advocate. The Baltimore Sun once said she had a "bark like a vicious terrier." Trained as a social worker, she's been a reliable liberal vote on social and fiscal issues. Mikulski rose up the ladder on the Senate Appropriations Committee to become its first female chairwoman, looking out for home state concerns ranging from the Goddard Space Flight Center to the National Institutes of Health. Asked Monday what she was most proud of, Mikulski cited the groundbreaking nature of her career. "When I came to the Senate I was the only Democratic woman, I was the first elected in her own right. But I said though I was the first, I didn't want to be the only." And she isn't. There are now 20 women in the Senate, whom Mikulski meets weekly for lunch. Political science professor Roy Meyers of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County says her legacy crossed party lines. "Many of the women that came into the Senate and the House, regardless of whether they were Republicans or Democrats, really viewed her as a role model," he said. Meyers says Mikulski was "a groundbreaker in terms of making sure the voices of women legislators were taken seriously." In a statement, President Obama said Mikulski's leadership "serves as an inspiration to millions of women and girls across the globe to stand up and lead." Mikulski says she has no health problems, nor is she frustrated in the Senate, though she is now in the minority. Her decision to retire is sure to set off a scramble among Democrats and some Republicans to replace her. She joked: "Maryland has a lot of talent and they'll be telling you about it within the next 10 minutes." Meyers says if he "counted all the candidates in the Democratic Party who are thinking of going for this race I wouldn't have enough fingers on my two hands." Among the names being mentioned are Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake; several Democratic members of the state's congressional delegation including Chris Van Hollen and Donna Edwards; Labor Secretary Tom Perez, and former Gov. Martin O'Malley, who is currently considering a long-shot presidential bid (and whose mother works in Mikulski's Senate office). And Republicans aren't conceding the race despite the Democrats' heavy advantage in registration. Noting that Maryland elected a GOP governor last fall, the National Republican Senatorial Committee says it considers Mikulski's seat "a top pickup opportunity." Among the Republican names being floated are former Gov. Bob Ehrlich and Rep. Andy Harris.

He spoke to Microphone Check about working with Andre 3000, the politics of features and the studio life. ALI SHAHEED MUHAMMAD: What up? FUTURE: What\'s going on? MUHAMMAD: What\'s good, man? FUTURE: Man, it\'s good, it\'s good. It\'s good to be here. My tour coming up at the end of May, the first date for the North American tour. You can get the tickets at freebandz.com, so, just to plug that right now off the rip. MUHAMMAD: Do that. FRANNIE KELLEY: What is Freebandz? FUTURE: It\'s my label. KELLEY: And who\'s on it? FUTURE: We just got producers. We have artists but we just — no, nothing\'s signed and sealed besides a few producers right now. KELLEY: Yeah, but they\'re all over the album, right? FUTURE: Yep. KELLEY: Especially Metro Boomin? FUTURE: Yeah, Metro Boomin, man that\'s the next, the next big producer. KELLEY: Yeah, also from Atlanta? FUTURE: Nah, he from St. Louis. He live in Atlanta now, but he\'s from St. Louis. KELLEY: OK. How did you guys come together? FUTURE: Man, someone introduced us. Who it was? I think Propain, he was telling me about him. He used to always try to get at me and then you know, you just can\'t really talk directly to me so it was someone who was picking up the phone for me at the time. He introduced us and we started just working in the studio, vibing out man, just had a crazy bond and we just bonded it through music and that\'s like my brother. KELLEY: What do you like about his production? FUTURE: I just like — he different. His sound — the sounds that he choose to put together — he got a real unique sound and just stand out. Man, just super — he just ambitious and he hungry. He never stop; he always working in the studio. Like you call him right now, he probably making a beat, recording someone and just trying to get better at his craft. KELLEY: He\'s pretty young, right? FUTURE: Yeah, he young. He what, 21? 20, 21. KELLEY: That\'s crazy to me. I was doing nothing when I was 21. Ali had already put out two classic albums, for example. MUHAMMAD: Yep. FUTURE: Yeah! 21, man, that\'s the age. But usually, back then, like, back in the day, a artist used to be probably 17, 18 when they came out. All artists used to be 16, 17 around when they come out. Now, it\'s like more development and now they come out probably when you like 24, 25 would be the breakout age right now. KELLEY: Is that a good thing or a negative thing? FUTURE: It just timing, I guess. MUHAMMAD: Yeah, it\'s just the way it is though, really. I mean, I knew what I wanted to do at 12, like I knew it. I wanted to make music. It was just, I needed the resources. But I got a 18-year-old nephew, he\'s like, "I don\'t know what I\'ma do." I\'m like, "Man." KELLEY: You gotta figure it out.

Question: Once A Critic, VA Blogger Seeks To Fix Problems

represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth

When Alex Horton shipped home from Iraq in 2007, he decided to go to college and get a degree in journalism. He hoped the new, post-Sept. 11 GI Bill would help him out. "With my bank account dwindling and rent, utility bills, school tuition and other obligations on the table, coupled with the advice of my VA counselor, I bet it all on the post-9/11 GI Bill. And I lost," Horton wrote at the time on his blog, Army of Dude. The Department of Veterans Affairs has been the subject of criticism for years: rising suicide rates, inadequate health care, benefit delays. How did VA officials respond to Horton's criticisms? They hired him. Horton, who now writes for the VA's VAntage Point blog, tells NPR's Rachel Martin that the change was a good thing. "Being cynical and throwing bombs at a department can only work for so long before you ask yourself: What really can be of use to people?" Horton says. "I didn't see many tangibles that came out of me criticizing ... Before, I was saying, 'Here's the problem. Isn't this terrible?' Now I'm saying, 'Here are some issues. What can we do to fix it?' " The transition from Army veteran to VA critic began when Horton started his second year of college, and transitioned from the original GI bill to the more generous version passed after Sept. 11. Horton was one of thousands of students who were affected when the VA fell behind on the processing of applications. "I had no idea when I was going to get paid. I had no idea if the money was on its way. And I had things to think about," Horton says. "I had rent. I had a truck payment. I had a lot of things to worry about, and I couldn't get any answers from VA or the counselors at my school." Horton's experience with the VA at that time was reflected in his blog posts. "The VA counselors at my school buy salt in bulk to pour into the wounds of the students they are purported to serve," he wrote in one. "One in particular lambastes me whenever I call with a legitimate question regarding veteran benefits." Now, however, Horton is more understanding. He concedes that the counselors were overworked and under a lot of stress to try to interpret the new rules. "Seeing it from another side, and maybe added complexity, made the issues — I won't say easier to understand, but I know how it's a huge bureaucracy and there are some parts that work well and some that need to be worked on," Horton says. "You have a bigger appreciation for what those issues are, and you're compelled to help fix those now."

Question: Morning Shots: Advice For Writers, 'Wire' Academia, And A 'Wife Swap' Lawsuit

• I can't vouch for the authenticity of this alleged missive from David Mamet to the writers of The Unit (since canceled), but frankly, no matter who wrote it, it contains some sensible -- if sometimes oversimplified -- advice. (Caution: Mamet-like profanity.) • I very much liked, to my own surprise, this piece from The Guardian about a recent controversy in the UK that arose when one of the judges of a literary prize for women lamented the fact that the books under consideration all seemed to be pretty relentlessly grim. It's a tricky topic, but handled well there, and the idea of a sharp divide between "chick lit" and "really, really serious" is very plausible to me. • Hey, so, have you heard about this Twilight series? It's pretty popular. And the DVD of the second movie, New Moon, is a giant hit. • There's a nice piece in Slate about all the academic discussions of The Wire -- some centered on its sociology, some on its art, and some on a combination of both. Amazon review antics, the future of ChatRoulette, and how to get sued by a pageant contestant, after the jump. Read More >> • The Hollywood Reporter has an interesting discussion of the future of ChatRoulette. The service has, on the one hand, millions and millions of users. On the other hand, it's considered good news that only 5 to 8 percent of the sessions are sexual content, and that makes it difficult to get investors and advertisers. (See Omar Gallaga's post at All Tech Considered for more. • The new Michael Lewis book The Big Short: Inside The Doomsday Machine is getting a lot of one-star Amazon reviews. Not because it's bad, but because it's not being released for the Kindle. As others have explained, this is rather pointless, in that it punishes the author for something he can't do anything about. • A 15-year-old who appeared on Wife Swap is now suing ABC, claiming she was set up to be embarrassed. I have no idea how much legal merit her case will turn out to have, but I'll tell you this: when a significant part of your show relies on making a villain out of a 15-year-old, no matter how she behaves, you're not getting a lot of sympathy from me.

Question: Japan's 'Twitter Killer' Sentenced To Death In Killing Of 9

A Japanese court sentenced a convicted murderer dubbed the "Twitter Killer" to death early Tuesday.  Takahiro Shiraishi, 30, was found guilty by the Tokyo District Court for the murder of eight women and one man, according to reports. Shiraishi also robbed and sexually assaulted the eight women he murdered, some of whom were minors.  Shiraishi used Twitter to lure the women, who shared on the website that they wanted to kill themselves. He told them he could help them do so. But once in his apartment, Shiraishi strangled them. Afterward, Shiraishi dismembered their bodies and stored the body parts throughout his apartment. The man he killed was murdered to conceal the death of his first victim.  News of the shocking crime pushed Twitter to roll out new rules against promoting or encouraging suicide and social harm on the site. It also led Japan's government to expand telephone and online suicide support channels. Shiraishi was arrested in 2017 for the killings after police searched his apartment following complaints made by a victim's brother. The brother had discovered Twitter messages between Shiraishi and his sister, according to The Washington Post. When police arrived, they found body parts stored in Shiraishi's freezer and other containers. During his trial, Shiraishi's defense team said he deserved a lesser sentence because he helped the victims, who had said they wanted to die. But Shiraishi himself tanked this defense during his trial; while on the stand, he said the women hadn't consented to being killed, according to The Asahi Shimbun, a Japanese newspaper. During the trial, he said, "It was easier for me to convince people with worries and other issues and manipulate them to my way of thinking." Death penalty in Japan Japan regularly executes prisoners, though at a slower rate than the U.S. Prisoners there are executed by hanging, according to the Death Penalty Database.  The date of the execution is kept a secret from both the prisoner and their family. The offender is only notified on the morning of his execution.  There were three executions in the country in 2019, according to Amnesty International.  If you or someone you know is having suicidal thoughts, reach out for help.

Question: Trump Supports Plan To Cut Legal Immigration

We’re talking about Trump’s immigration plans. How the president’s immigration revamp would remake America. Big changes pushed yesterday by the Trump administration on American immigration. Profound changes, if they go through. Legal immigration to be slashed by half. Family connections downgraded as a priority. New priorities? Education, English, high-paying job offers. Would your family have made that cut? The Trump White House says this would be great for American workers. Others say no. This hour On Point: a radical remake proposed for American immigration. — Tom Ashbrook Guests Alan Gomez, immigration reporter at USA Today. (@alangomez) Peter Baker, chief White House correspondent at the New York Times. (@peterbakernyt) Roy Beck, founder, president and CEO of NumbersUSA. (@RoyBeck_NUSA) Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics. From Tom’s Reading List USA Today: Sweeping Trump plan to upend and slash legal immigration draws rebukes — “In a mere three-minute speech at the White House, President Trump proposed Wednesday a sweeping new U.S. immigration system that would overturn the rules for becoming an American citizen and cut in half the number allowed in. His comments marked a radical break from decades of bipartisan consensus on legal immigration, and the reaction was swift and severe, drawing rebukes from both Democrats and Republicans in Congress, who called it a non-starter. Some worried about the impact on their state economies, and others about the nation’s tradition as a refuge for immigrants.” New York Times: Trump Supports Plan to Cut Legal Immigration by Half — “President Trump embraced a proposal on Wednesday to slash legal immigration to the United States in half within a decade by sharply curtailing the ability of American citizens and legal residents to bring family members into the country. The plan would enact the most far-reaching changes to the system of legal immigration in decades and represents the president’s latest effort to stem the flow of newcomers to the United States. Since taking office, he has barred many visitors from select Muslim-majority countries, limited the influx of refugees, increased immigration arrests and pressed to build a wall along the southern border.” TheStreet: Trump’s Immigration Cuts Could Foil His Promises for Economic Growth — “Trump announced his support for the Reforming American Immigration for a Strong Economy (RAISE) Act on Wednesday. The legislation, put forth by Senators Tom Cotton (R-AR) and David Perdue (R-GA), seeks to prioritize high-skilled, English-speaking immigrants and immediate family households, overhaul the visa lottery, restrict refugee immigration and reduce immigration by half. If the bill were to become law, it would render next-to-impossible Trump’s already lofty goals for economic growth. The White House has set a goal of achieving 3% economic growth through a mix of tax reform, deregulation and other measures. Most economists say immigration would be a key contributor to achieving that mark.” Your Immigration And Economy Stories
 “I am the first generation in my immediate family to be born in the U.S. Neither of my parents spoke English when they arrived, and neither went any farther in school than the 8th grade. They would not have been allowed in under the proposed policy. Both my brother and I earned Ph.D.’s and have worked in good jobs all our lives, paying taxes and contributing to the U.S. in other ways as well. My father came here legally with his family and siblings. My mother came to the U.S. as a teenager with her single mother. They did not speak English and entered illegally. My mother taught herself to read by reading true romance pulp magazines. She and my grandmother sewed to earn a living. My father did not know my mother was illegal until long after they married. My mother became a citizen after I was born.” — Sandra
 “My husband’s grandparents were illiterate immigrants; his father quit school at 10th grade to go to work. My husband has a master’s degree from a state university, and our children graduated from Cornell. So our family went from penniless illiteracy to the Ivy League in three generations. While I admire the successes of the Canadian and Australian immigration policies, there’s a reason we call it the American dream. I hope we don’t lose it.” — Vanessa
