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.

“Any mail that’s getting dropped into a blue box is not getting postmarked on the same day, and likely not on the day after either,” says the leader of a postal workers’ union.

So if we can automatically register people for selective service with no ID issues, why can't we do the same with voting?

Happy NATO founding day to all who celebrate! If you think the alliance isn’t worthwhile, know that everything the U.S. tries to do in the world will be harder and more expensive without allied help. Trade them for better allies if you can find any. I can’t.

One of Ours Is Down in Iran. Here’s What That Really Means. As a former Air Force pilot, I can tell you: we trained for this exact moment. And right now, America is doing what it does better than anyone on earth.

I don't know their names. But I know exactly who they are. A pilot and a WSO are on the ground in Iran today. I wrote about what that means — and why America doesn't leave its people behind.

Hegseth forces out Army’s top general Gen. Randy George’s ouster is the latest in a series of clashes between the Pentagon chief and the service’s senior leadership, and comes amid the ongoing war in Iran.
