“Let us be those creative dissenters who will call our beloved nation to a higher destiny, to a new plateau of compassion, to a more noble expression of humaneness.” MLK, Jr

A medical breakthrough in the fight against pancreatic cancer is showing promising results after decades of research. The experimental drug, taken once a day, extends patients’ lives by slowing the progression of one of the deadliest cancers. Dr. Rachna Shroff, associate director of clinical investigations at the University of Arizona Comprehensive Cancer Center, joins Stephanie Sy (@TheStephSy) for more.

Now, new understanding of a health condition affecting millions of women. An estimated 1 in 10 women worldwide live with a hormonal disorder long known as PCOS — polycystic ovary syndrome. But the condition is getting a new name. And as @thestephsy reports, the change is about far more than terminology. Supporters say it could lead to better diagnosis, treatment and care.

Thanks to @TheStephSy and @NewsHour for having me on to talk about health care affordability challenges, especially for ACA enrollees with expanded premium subsidies expiring, but also for people with employer health coverage.

Tax Day, the deadline for filing your taxes, is Wednesday. President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers are trying to draw voters' attention to new tax cuts and increased deductions approved last year. But with the war, higher gas prices and other economic costs, some polls suggest many Americans don't feel they're benefiting much from the new law. @TheStephSy speaks to @aduehren for more.

Peter Magyar, the incoming prime minister of Hungary, has struck a hopeful tone after his sweeping election win. Magyar called for a swift transition of power and began to chart an ambitious course to reverse central pillars of Viktor Orbán’s rule. European allies hope Hungary swings back toward the E.U. and NATO, and away from Russia. Stephanie Sy (@TheStephSy) reports on how the results could reverberate around the globe.

More women are seeking treatment for menopause and perimenopause, driving a shortage of estrogen patches, one of the most commonly used forms of hormone therapy. Manufacturers are struggling to keep up with demand, leaving many women to manage a range of difficult symptoms with little relief in sight. @TheStephSy has more.

PBS News has been nominated for a @PeabodyAward and three #NewsEmmys Awards. You can read more about the nominated coverage here: to.pbs.org/3O64Wpe And congratulations to the @newshour and @washingtonweek teams who contributed to this reporting!

As the Supreme Court weighs the legality of birthright citizenship, @MaeaLenei and my story last year looking at its origins and legacy: pbs.org/newshour/show/the-hi… @NewsHour

New York has become the 13th state, along with Washington, D.C., to legalize medically assisted suicide. More than a dozen other states are also considering legalizing the practice, which supporters call medical aid in dying. @TheStephSy traveled to both coasts to reexamine an issue that has divided Americans along moral and political lines.

Blowback and backlash to social media and its effects on young people are reverberating across the globe. Many countries have announced plans to pass measures restricting social media access for children and teens. But Australia was the first to implement a ban late last year, setting an example that other nations are now closely monitoring. @TheStephSy reports on what that pioneering ban looks like for teens today.

The Trump administration deployed ICE agents to more than a dozen airports to assist the understaffed TSA. For more, @TheStephSy speaks to John Sandweg, who served as acting ICE director under President Obama.

Federal investigators are trying to figure out what led to a collision between a commercial airliner and a fire truck on the runway at New York's LaGuardia Airport that killed two pilots and injured dozens. Officials say the airport will operate at reduced capacity "for some time." As @TheStephSy reports, it comes at a moment when the nation's air system is under considerable stress.

.@PBS @NewsHour has been named a Silver Gavel Award finalist by @ABAesq for a series of reports that examines President Trump’s executive order seeking to block birthright citizenship in America.

A source just passed along information about a press conference that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is having this Friday, 2/13, in Phoenix, Arizona. Topic? Election security. Local officials will be joining her at 10:30am MST.

TrumpRX is now online. The website lists drugs at reduced rates, with coupon codes to be used at participating pharmacies or directly through manufacturers’ sites. It’s part of President Donald Trump’s pledge to lower prescription drug prices in the U.S. But health policy experts caution the impact will likely be muted, especially for the 85% of Americans who have prescription drug coverage. @TheStephSy speaks to @ddiamond to learn more.
