If nothing changes before the weekend, most of the 42 million people on food stamps, or SNAP, will not get their November benefits as scheduled.

Marketplace Morning Report ·

2025/10/29

Researchers figure livestock herds contribute between 12% and 20% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. That's mostly methane from the digestive process. But a study from UC Davis finds that, when fed seaweed early on, cattle’s microbiome can be altered, reducing the amount of methane emissions. But first, the Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point — though they have limited data to go off of.

Marketplace Morning Report ·

2025/10/27

Price increases are price increases, and consumers will bemoan inflation no matter the cause, right? Maybe not so much.

Today, University of Chicago economist Alex Imas joins the program and uses behavioral economics to help make sense of it. But first, Louisiana will be building the first “rare earths separation facility” in the U.S.

There are almost 250,000 Chinese students in the U.S. this fall. That's a 36% drop from the 2017 peak.
