Trump's executive order that tightened rules on mail-in voting is valid, a federal judge said, and the ruling could have implications for November's midterm elections and, Democrats say, whether millions of voters will be able to cast ballots. The March 31 order, in line with Trump's repeated false claims the 2020 election was stolen, directed the administration to compile a list of eligible voters in each state to compare with federal data.

Invasive species can wreak havoc with ecosystems, but the rapid spread of destructive golden mussels in California has brought a new sense of urgency to the battle − one that officials there are asking people to help them fight.
|
Exotic species can appear in shipping containers, ballast water in ships, the wildlife trade, imported plants and even tropical cyclones. Nearly 15,000 records of non-native, reproducing species have been filed with the U.S. Register of Introduced and Invasive Species. The consequences can be costly not only for governments, farmers, businesses and consumers, but also for at-risk native plant and animal species and protected ecosystems.

Signs like this at an Arizona reservoir are meant to urge boat owners to slow the spread of the invasive quagga mussels.

Heartbreak, loss, hoarding
|
Madison Lovelle, 40, opened the doors and windows to her late father's Oklahoma condo and got to work. She wore gloves and a hazmat suit to clean out the bedroom where her father hoarded all manner of things: envelopes, plastic bags, papers, hangers, "piles on top of piles" of stuff, she said.
|
As she did so, she grappled with the loss of her father, and with his hoarding behavior and the impact it had on his life − and on hers. "Cleaning out a hoarded room is basically like making 10,000 tiny decisions, while also processing grief," she said. And she's not alone.

There are myriad ways to define a relationship, but one word has the opposite purpose: "Wildflowering" means to let a relationship unfold completely organically − no timelines, labels, definitions or expectations. In other words, you let the connection bloom like a wildflower. Free, untamed and beautiful. Right? Well, not necessarily.
