The Postal Service proposed a new rule pushing states to turn over their mail-in and absentee voter rolls to the agency, a move in line with President Donald Trump’s March executive order tightening regulations on mail-in voting in federal elections. Since the start of his second administration, Trump has made election integrity and security a central issue, signing multiple executive orders to require proof of citizenship and crack down on mail-in voting fraud, essentially establishing a national voter verification system. His efforts have run into several legal hurdles, with judges ruling against requirements for proof of citizenship, and several Democratic states sue over the mail-in voting order.

U.S. Steel plans to invest up to $2.5 billion into upgrades to its Mon Valley Works, which it forecasts will generate $1.7 billion for the state’s economy, according to a Monday report from the steelmaking giant. The economic impact is expected to include the combined dollars spent on things such as wages and construction costs associated with the upgrades, according to the report. The investment will preserve the roughly 3,000 jobs at Mon Valley Works and create 3,200 jobs. It is part of the company’s commitment to invest $11 billion into its domestic footprint by 2028, on the heels of a $15 billion acquisition by Japan-based Nippon Steel last year.

Bill Maher used Friday's "Real Time with Bill Maher" to criticize California Democrats over education and green energy, arguing that Mississippi and Texas are outperforming the deep-blue state on issues Democrats often campaign on. "Democrats, these are your issues: education, race, the environment," Maher said. "And I say this with love: you’re losing to the Waffle House, car-on-the-lawn states." Maher said California’s school outcomes were especially difficult to defend when compared with Mississippi, citing fourth-grade results for Black students. "Did you know that a Black fourth grader in Mississippi is two and a half times as likely to be proficient in math and reading as one in California?"

Mayor Karen Bass is being slammed as un-American for a last-minute decision to pull funding for a neighborhood group who wanted to close their main street for a Fourth of July Parade marking America’s 250th birthday.
The Sunland-Tujunga Fourth of July Parade, the longest-running Independence Day parade in the San Fernando Valley, has been canceled after organizers say the city withdrew support and left them facing at least $20,000 in traffic control and street closure costs. “The mayor’s office jerked us around for so long,” said Lydia Grant, president of the Sunland-Tujunga Neighborhood Council. “It’s devastating. We’ve been doing this parade for over 50 years.”

The United States has secured long-term access to one of the world's largest untapped rare earth deposits, a move that could reduce its future dependence on mineral-rich African nations as Washington races to build a critical minerals supply chain independent of China. REalloys, a Florida-based rare earth materials company, has signed a 15-year offtake agreement with Critical Metals Corp. covering 15% of Phase 1 production from the Tanbreez project in southern Greenland.
The deposit is among the world's largest known sources of heavy rare earth elements, including dysprosium and terbium, two minerals essential for fighter jets, missile systems, radar platforms, drones and other advanced defence technologies.

Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt said he’s focusing on laws that already exist to make “the streets safe.” “We are going to make sure that moms feel safe in Los Angeles,” Pratt said on Fox News’s Saturday in America. Pratt said current city Mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) made up statistics, calling it a “homeless industrial complex scam,” and accused them of laundering money to increase homelessness. “Anybody with eyeballs in the state of California, or Los Angeles, knows that there has not been a reduction in one homeless person,” Pratt said. “Actually, there’s been an increase of naked, drug addict zombies.”

As BRICS challenges Bretton Woods dominance, India balances de-dollarisation, sovereignty, and global financial realignment.
Deep in the vaults of the Reserve Bank of India, a quiet metamorphosis is unfolding. Over one decade, India’s gold reserves have doubled to $682 billion—the yellow metal’s share rising steadily. In Moscow, the Central Bank executed something more dramatic: a total liquidation of its $90-billion U.S. Treasury portfolio, replaced by 2,330 metric tonnes of physical gold now comprising 44 per cent of reserves—a sovereign reallocation without precedent in modern monetary history. These are symptoms of a tectonic shift reshaping global finance’s architecture

The FBI says it has seized a record-setting $8 billion in cryptocurrency and arrested hundreds of suspects as part of an intercontinental crackdown on "scam compounds" and organized crime, including one group known as the "Democratic Karen Benevolent Army." They have been blamed for a global wave of theft from Americans who fell victim to an online scam. The FBI confiscated more than 127,000 bitcoin during the arrest of one leader of a Cambodian enterprise called the Prince Holding Group. That's worth more than $8 billion — possibly more than $15 billion at the time of seizure — and officials are calling it the largest forfeiture in U.S. government's history.

Russia is concerned that Venezuela could allow Kyiv to tap into its vast and largely unused stockpile of Soviet-made weapons as it shifts its foreign policy focus. Sergei Shoigu, secretary of Russia’s Security Council and a former defence minister, warned on Wednesday during a meeting with his Venezuelan counterpart, José Adelino Ornelas Ferreira, against any attempt to involve Latin American states in arrangements that could ultimately support Ukraine. “We know about the activity of Western envoys who are trying to involve Latin American states in various schemes of arms supplies in the interests of Kyiv,” Shoigu said. Venezuela continues to operate significant quantities of Soviet- and Russian-origin military equipment.,

A wild new “animal cruelty” ballot proposal would put hunters and fishermen on the hook.
Controversial legislation that would outlaw killing or “injuring” any animal — even while shooting or catching your dinner — is one step closer to landing on the ballot in Oregon, officials said Wednesday.
The measure, Initiative Petition 28, has garnered 120,000 signatures, more than the roughly 117,000 it needs to go to vote in November, The Oregonian reported.
Along with banning hunting and fishing, the legislation would also prohibit slaughtering livestock and using animals in rodeos and for scientific research.
It would also prohibit operating a commercial poultry business and castrating or neutering livestock, among other practices.

House Republicans are aiming to move forward a bipartisan housing bill by cutting a requirement that build-to-rent institutional investors sell off their properties within seven years. A new version of the 21st Century Road to Housing Act, completed Wednesday night, strips that requirement, which the Senate passed in its own version of the bill. [T]he House could consider the measure next week. The sell-off rule had been a major sticking point in the bill in the House. It's part of a larger ban on institutional investors from owning more than 350 homes in the housing market.
