If you want to keep a light pulse on national news without the clickbait and doomscrolling, I recommend https://text.npr.org

It’s text-only, no photos or videos. Updates only once or twice a day. No comments section or any other distractions.

That’s been my main change to my news diet. Deleting the NYTimes app and replacing it with that site has made me much happier.

I still read a lot of local news (San Francisco things that affect my life) but I just realize that national political news is not something I need to track 24/7

I prefer GroundNews and in particular the blindspot. I gave up on NPR around 2022 because it was pushing extremely biased takes. I say this as someone whose news came primarily via NPR from ~1993-2022. I just can't stand them anymore. If there's a way to tie literally everything to some stupid social movement, that's all they can do nowadays. The best thing our local NPR station does is run BBC very early in the morning.
