Los Angeles, CA

Good morning. I'm A Martínez. A plumber crawled under a house in Los Angeles to do a job. Three hours went by without a sound, so the homeowner called for help. Firefighters showed up and started cutting holes in the floor with chainsaws. That's when the plumber turned up. He'd fallen asleep in the crawlspace. He must have been feeling a bit drained. But seriously, why cut holes in the floor with chainsaws instead of crawling in after him? Just saying. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

When a child comes out as transgender, the type of support they can get depends, first of all, on their parent or guardian, and increasingly in America, which state they live in. Many medical groups, including the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics, endorse gender-affirming care for trans kids - treatments like puberty blockers and hormone therapy. But several states have laws restricting or banning it. Yesterday, Kentucky's legislature overrode a governor's veto, and now it's law. And last week, it was Iowa. Matt McIver, a parent of a trans kid in Des Moines, wants to speak out on this issue while still protecting his child.

In a few short years, Aaron Hernandez moved from NFL star to murder suspect. He was convicted of killing one person before being cleared of two other murders. In prison, Hernandez killed himself, and after his death, the former New England Patriots tight end was diagnosed with brain disease. And we want to note for listeners, this report includes several references to suicide. Member station WBUR and The Boston Globe have now obtained Hernandez's final phone calls from prison. As Todd Wallack reports, the calls add to questions around his death.
