Americans are having trouble paying back their auto loans. We’ll look at whether these delinquent payments pose risks to the financial system. Next, we’ll discuss why there’s been a rise in activism among athletes — especially among NBA players — and a plan in Washington that would keep water flowing to high-value crops.
