PBS News Hour full episode, May 22, 2026
Friday on the News Hour, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard resigns, the latest high-profile shakeup in the Trump administration. We look at the many causes driving a decade-long decline in students’ math and reading scores. Plus, as carbon credits to offset climate change often haven’t lived up to their promise, some groups are now trying to change that.
