It's hard to believe that a President would time an illegal military attack, killing civilians, to distract the public's attention...but today is the statutory deadline for the DOJ to release its report on the Epstein Files. Coincidence?

Voting access advocates argue that Ohio’s ban on grace periods for mail ballots will be particularly harmful to those most likely to return ballots via the mail—namely, older and disabled voters who may lack mobility.
