This NPR Up First news podcast covers three main stories: a federal judge's ruling against Elon Musk's actions regarding the USAID, a limited ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine that was immediately violated, and Israel's surprise attack on Gaza, breaking a ceasefire. The podcast features interviews with NPR reporters providing analysis and details on each event. A key takeaway is the judge's ruling that Musk lacked the authority to dismantle USAID, though the impact is limited due to the agency's already diminished state. The podcast concludes with a brief mention of Chief Justice John Roberts' rebuke of President Trump's call to impeach a federal judge.
