    USPS Whistleblower Warns New Mail-in Voting System Could Disrupt Midterms

    A U.S. Postal Service (USPS) whistleblower has raised alarm about a new mail-in voting system that could cause major disruptions in the upcoming midterm elections. The system, ordered by President Trump's executive order, is rushed and untested, potentially leading to millions of voters not receiving their ballots or having them rejected. The portal is designed to screen all incoming ballots but has been criticized for its 0% failure rate, which could reject entire batches if one ballot fails to pass muster. The system's development has been hurried, with testing procedures eliminated, raising concerns about its reliability and the potential impact on the election.

    Trump Administration Moves to End Work Authorization for H-4 Spouses of H-1B Visa Holders

    The Trump administration is moving to restrict work authorization for certain H-4 spouses of H-1B visa holders, potentially barring them from legally working in the US. This comes as part of an ongoing visa barrage that includes a $103K visa fee, paused visas, and a proposal to remove the 60-day grace period after losing employment. The Department of Homeland Security has revived a plan to eliminate employment authorization for certain spouses of H-1B workers who are in the US on H-4 dependent visas. This move is part of a broader effort to reshape the H-1B program, which critics argue is used to import cheaper labor while American workers compete for the same jobs.

    New School Year Brings Changes in Education

    The new school year is starting with several changes in education. First-graders will no longer fail due to poor grades and will have an assistant. The rules for delays are changing. English lessons in 5th grade will be reduced, sociology will only be taught from 9th grade, and new mandatory courses about AI and career guidance will appear. Behavior marks will initially be given only in pilot schools, and history lessons in grades 5-9 will follow a single program. Homework is canceled for first-graders. Phone use in class and career guidance will also see changes.
