Diane’s farewell message
After 52 years at WAMU, Diane Rehm says goodbye.
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) speaks to a crowd March 23 at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, where he announced his presidential candidacy.
With no Democratic support, the House and Senate pass budgets setting the stage for negotiations for a final deal. With bi-partisan support, the House passes a bill that changes how Medicare pays doctors. Democratic Senator Harry Reid says he won’t seek re-election. On the 5th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama says the law is working. Republican Senator Ted Cruz promises to repeal “every word” of it, as he announces he will run for president in 2016. And the Army charges Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl with disertion. Diane and her panel of reporters discuss the week in news.
