Diane’s farewell message
After 52 years at WAMU, Diane Rehm says goodbye.
William Temple of the Golden Isles Tea Party in Georgia, dressed as Button Gwinnett, the second signer on the United States Declaration of Independence, cheers as Ben Carson speaks Feb. 26 during the 42nd annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in National Harbor, Maryland.
The clock is ticking as Congress races to fund the Department of Homeland Security. The House of Representatives considers a short-term funding bill to buy time before tonight’s midnight deadline. President Barack Obama vetoes the Keystone XL Pipeline bill, the first of many vetoes expected in his last two years in office. Jeb Bush hopes to change some minds at the Conservative Political Action Conference. Hillary Clinton lays out possible 2016 campaign themes in a speech to 5,000 women in Silicon Valley. And in an historic vote, the Federal Communications Commission classifies broadband internet service as a public utility. A panel of journalists joins Diane for analysis of the week’s top national news stories.
