In an Intense Election Year, New Post Office Rules Could Trip Up Voter Registration A change in how mail is postmarked could lead some voters to miss key deadlines, including voter registration. Advocates worry the people most affected will be those already facing voting barriers.

Because of new USPS rules, voters who mail registration forms near the deadline may risk being left off the rolls. One solution: requesting a manual postmark at the retail counter of a post office.

At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause

What follows is the funniest use of the slo-mo alternate angle tech I've seen them use during these Olympics of one of the crew members falling

The Vornado Evaporative humidifiers aren't too bad to clean. The wick prevents most of the grime in the tray, but you do need to replace the wick every season

(around an image of a masked ICE agent holding a gun) Republicans "One Big Beautiful Bill' nearly tripled funding for ICE. That money came from your benefits:

paid for by cuts to reproductive health care

paid for by cuts to Medicare & Medicaid

paid for by cuts to SNAP

paid for by cuts to clean energy projects

paid for by cuts to obesity prevention

paid for by cuts to disaster response

paid for by cuts to energy tax credits

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by nameβ€”citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

It’s worse than it looks in Minneapolis But locals are organizing to keep each other safe from ICE agents.

WHY YOUNG PEOPLE ARE BETTING ON EVERYTHING

In today’s Wall Street Journal, I wrote about how an economy with fewer stable paths is pushing young people toward low probability, high payoff bets in search of upside - even though this is not what people actually want.

Something that I've been working on in the background over the past few months is a greater understanding of the effects of continued climate change throughout the US and how it will affect summer soccer.

Texas summers are going to become untenable if we aren't technically there already.
