And, the Department of Justice returned indictments accusing Russian agents of trying to interfere in the 2024 presidential election through, among other ways, paying right-wing online influencers.

Breaking Down "No Tax On Tips"

By now, you've probably heard a lot from both presidential nominees about getting rid of taxes on tips. The idea may sound good on first go, but it has its detractors, namely economists and tax experts. Their fears include unfairness and people gaming the system. Our friends at [The Indicator from Planet Money] (https://www.npr.org/2024/08/20/1197968182/trump-kamala-no-taxes-on-tips) look at how to put in place guardrails for a policy that many economists believe is likely to go off the rails.Learn more about sponsor message choices: [podcastchoices.com/adchoices] (https://podcastchoices.com/adchoices) [NPR Privacy Policy] (https://www.npr.org/about-npr/179878450/privacy-policy) ...

Roundup: Harris Pitches Hope; Trump's Military Cemetery Feud

In her first major interview of her presidential campaign, Vice President Harris pitched policy continuity with an attitude shift. She wants to continue the policies of the Biden administration while drawing a more optimistic contrast with the Trump campaign.And NPR's reporting on a physical altercation between Trump campaign workers and Arlington National Cemetery staff caused a controversy that has continued to escalate. The military prohibits political activity at the cemetery but the Trump campaign has doubled down and say they were invited there by the families. Correction Aug. 30, 2024:In a previous version of the audio for this episode, two phrases were spliced together in a way that suggested the veterans' organization Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) called Donald Trump's remarks related to a confrontation at Arlington National Cemetery "asinine." In fact, the VFW described Trump's previous remarks, in which he described the Presidential Medal of Freedom as superior to the Medal of Honor, asinine.

Poll: Harris Opens Narrow Lead Over Trump

Vice President Kamala Harris opened a narrow lead over former President Trump in the latest [NPR/PBS News/Marist poll] (https://maristpoll.marist.edu/polls/the-2024-presidential-contest-august-2024/) , but it is still within the margin of error. Trump is still trusted by more voters on handling immigration and the economy, while Harris leads on abortion and preserving democracy.
