Trump hits campaign trail, Harris heads to Washington
SUMMARY: Former President Donald Trump held a rally in North Carolina, criticizing the federal response to Hurricane Helen. Before the event, The Atlantic published alleged remarks from four years ago, in which Trump reportedly questioned the cost of the funeral for Vanessa Gian, a 20-year-old Army private killed at Fort Hood. Trump supposedly said, “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury an effing Mexican,” and offered to pay for the funeral. Gian’s sister claimed her sister’s death is being politicized, while some of Trump’s former aides labeled the report as false. This controversy coincided with Trump’s round table with Latino voters.

Federal judge hears arguments over Arkansas ban on teaching critical race theory
SUMMARY: In court today, civil rights attorneys challenged the vagueness of the Learns Act regarding what teachers can say about critical race theory (CRT) in classrooms. Ruthie Walls, a teacher suing Governor Sarah Sanders and state education officials, argues the law violates free speech for educators and students. A federal judge previously issued a temporary injunction halting enforcement of the law’s CRT ban, which the Eighth Circuit Court is currently reviewing. State attorneys struggled to define CRT, leading to claims of vagueness and accusations of racial motivation behind the law. No ruling was made today on the dismissal of the federal lawsuit.
A lawsuit claims the section of theย LEARNS Actย that bans the teaching of critical race theory violates the U.S. Constitution.

Hereโs how an Arkansas lithium discovery paves the way for US energy independence
SUMMARY: Lithium, often referred to as “white gold” due to its solid, silvery appearance and economic potential, has garnered attention as a valuable resource. A study by the United States Geological Survey, in collaboration with the Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment, estimated that the Smackover formation in Southern Arkansas could contain between 5 and 19 million tons of lithium. Researchers collected samples from the region’s briny water and used geological modeling to assess lithium reserves. This quantity could potentially eliminate all U.S. imports of lithium, which is crucial for various everyday applications.
Southern Arkansas could hold 5 to 19 million tons of lithium, vital for electric vehicle batteries. This discovery could reshape U.S. energy independence.

Election officials remind voters of Arkansas electioneering laws
SUMMARY: As voters head to the polls, officials remind them of electioneering laws prohibiting political propaganda within 100 feet of voting centers. This includes displaying candidate names, logos, or any ballot measures. Officials assert that these laws, in place to protect voter choice from external influence, have been strict for many years. While some voters acknowledge the law, they argue for the right to express opinions freely. A voting center supervisor noted he has already handled multiple electioneering incidents this year, emphasizing that violations are classified as Class A misdemeanors. The importance of maintaining a neutral voting environment remains a key focus.
