There is a hidden part of Russia’s war against Ukraine: recruiting young people to attack their own country.

Many of the recruited children are impoverished and are lured into betraying Ukraine with relatively small offers of money, authorities said.
Russia recruited Ukrainian kids to carry out attacks. They got caught.
Across Ukraine, at least 13 minors are imprisoned after being paid by Russia to attack their own country.

The Tangerine Palpatine banned these three reporters from the White House Press room.
They work for CNN, MS OW and Politico.

Aside from being very good at their job what else do you think they have in common that got them singled out for expulsion?

If you take multiple medications, you might be unknowingly taking one drug to treat the side effects of another.
Some drugs can lead to additional prescriptions, putting older adults at risk
A drug side effect can be mistaken for a new issue, leading to a second prescription that may not be necessary — and could be harmful.

Important: the USPS rule that SCOTUS blocked tonight was Trump’s big plan to control and restrict mail voting.

But a separate policy remains in place: USPS is no longer postmarking mail as soon it gets it, which is hugely important for deadlines.

So people must mail back with plenty of time.
In an Intense Election Year, New Post Office Rules Could Trip Up Voter Registration - Bolts
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.

underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.
