Plus, Netflix password sharers: Prepare to pay for your own account. [View this email online]( [NPR Up First Newsletter]( by [Suzanne Nuyen]( May 24, 2023 Good morning. This Memorial Day weekend kicks off travel season, and a record number of Americans will be flying. Make sure [you're prepared](. Here's what else we're following today. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to announce his presidential bid today in a [Twitter Spaces event]( with Twitter's owner, Elon Musk. DeSantis joins a crowded race and ranks second in some polls of GOP candidates behind former President Donald Trump. [ Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis holds a microphone and speaks during an Iowa GOP reception on May 13. ]( Stephen Maturen/Getty Images 🎧 NPR's Kelsey Snell tells the Up First podcast today that announcing on Twitter allows DeSantis to "[stick it to Trump]( who used the website heavily as a candidate and president before moving on to the less popular Truth Social after he was banned. Snell adds DeSantis is different from current candidates because of his controversial record, citing his legal battle with Disney and the six-week abortion ban he signed. ➡️ Want to know where DeSantis has been? A new Twitter account has appeared [tracking DeSantis' state government jet]( (with a 24-hour delay). There has been little progress in the debt ceiling talks, and if the U.S. defaults on its loans, its "Triple-A" rating on government debt could be at risk. The rating works like a personal credit score, and companies that buy the government's debt rely on the ratings to make purchasing decisions. Here's [where negotiations stand now](. 🎧 Rating downgrades are "a given" if the country defaults, according to NPR's David Gura. But even if there isn't one, Gura says rating agencies [could still consider a downgrade]( weakening the dollar and making U.S. bonds riskier. Still, Gura adds that ratings are just one aspect of the analysis of bond trading, and the U.S. is still seen as safe and secure. ➡️ Garret Graves, who was critical in helping Kevin McCarthy get the votes to be elected speaker, leads the debt negotiations. Here's [everything you need to know]( about McCarthy's close adviser. ➡️ A default wouldn't just affect Americans. It would shock markets, and a U.S. recession or spikes in unemployment would have [global repercussions](. Nearly one year after the fall of Roe v. Wade, Planned Parenthood officials say the organization plans to [restructure the national office]( and expects to lay off 10 to 20% of its staff. The organization will instead invest $70 million in its affiliate offices moving forward, with plans to expand its telehealth capacity and other technologies to reach patients regardless of location. In a statement, unions representing employees in major cities expressed concerns the organization was pushing out the movement's "brightest minds."

White crosses with names of the victims are seen in front of the Robb Elementary School sign.]( Verónica G. Cárdenas for NPR It's been one year since 19 children and two teachers were shot and killed at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. 🎧 NPR's Adrian Florido [tells Morning Edition]( that many families "couldn't bear to be in town" and have left. ➡️ Read stories from grieving families as they search for [answers and accountability](. ➡️ Uvalde Justice of the Peace Lalo Diaz identified the bodies after the shooting. Now, he's co-chairing a committee to design a new school in a new location, so students [never have to step foot]( in Robb again. (via [Texas Public Radio]( 🎧 Multiple mass shootings have taken place since Uvalde. A [new NPR poll]( reveals that the highest percentage of Americans in a decade believe curbing [gun violence is more important]( than protecting gun rights. --------------------------------------------------------------- [A stock photo shows a woman using a probing cane outside for blind people while a man with a prosthetic leg plugs a portable generator in on the lawn.]( U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission noticed stock photos rarely show people with disabilities using common home safety devices.
