Would the world be more peaceful if more women were in charge?
If the world has felt more dangerous lately, you're not mistaken. The number of conflicts has been rising. And from Ukraine and Russia, to Israel and Gaza, and Sudan - a common thread running through all these wars is they are waged by men.

BREAKING: Nearly all USAID direct hires are being placed on leave tonight at midnight. My latest with Fatma Tanis at @npr.org:
www.npr.org/sections/goa...
Trump officials will put 4,700 USAID employees on leave and eliminate 1,600 jobs
The decision comes in the wake of a judge's ruling that such a move will not cause irreparable harm to the employees. There will be exceptions for several hundred employees in roles deemed critical.
