Voters of Tomorrow = ActBlue

 

Donate to help Voters of Tomorrow reach Gen Z voters

In 2022, young voters proved yet again that we are a political force to be reckoned with. Voters of Tomorrow played a major role in harnessing that power. As The Financial Times said, the group “worked to boost turnout among 18- to 29-year-olds and may have saved the election.”

But we have to keep this momentum going to do it again in 2026. Voters of Tomorrow is continuing to ramp up its outreach and voter education efforts. Unlike many other organizations, we are meeting Gen Z where they are by providing valuable content in the same platforms they already spend time in. 

With your contribution, Voters of Tomorrow will be able to reach even more young voters and guide them away from dangerous misinformation pushed by people looking to disenfranchise them.

'US helps Israel fend off barrage Iranian missiles'

 Israel and Iran traded strikes for a second night, with Iran’s counterattack sending a barrage into Tel Aviv, Israeli officials said Friday.

The U.S. is assisting in Israel’s defense, an official confirmed.

The retaliatory strikes come hours after the Israeli military took out Tehran’s top military leaders and targeted key nuclear facilities in a surprise strike Thursday.

President Trump chided Tehran for not making a nuclear deal through several rounds of talks, but he held out hope it still could do so. “I told them what to do, but they just couldn’t get there. Now they have, perhaps, a second chance!” Trump wrote Friday morning on Truth Social.

Iran said Friday it was pulling out of talks, with the next round originally set for Sunday. Those weeks of talks, however, appear to have given cover to Israel to prepare its attack.

Missouri governor activates National Guard, declares state of emergency

 Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe (R) on Thursday declared a state of emergency and activated the state’s National Guard in anticipation of protests across the state — and in response to “civil unrest” across the country.

Missouri Executive Order 25-25 declares a State of Emergency and allows the Adjutant General to order service members to aid state officials.

The order comes after the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Missouri National Guard and Missouri Department of Public Safety established a Unified Command to monitor situations across the state and prepare local law enforcement.

Additionally, the order also declares that the Adjutant General may employ necessary equipment to support authorities and provide assistance.

While nationwide protests continue to flare up in response to the Trump administration’s immigration policies, Kehoe said his order is purely precautionary.

“We respect, and will defend, the right to peacefully protest, but we will not tolerate violence or lawlessness in our state,” the governor said.

“While other states may wait for chaos to ensue, the State of Missouri is taking a proactive approach in the event that assistance is needed to support local law enforcement in protecting our citizens and communities,” he added.

US Marines carry out first known detention of civilian in Los Angeles, video shows

 Marines deployed to Los Angeles temporarily detained a civilian on Friday, the U.S. military confirmed after being presented with Reuters images, in the first known detention by active-duty troops deployed there by President Donald Trump.

The incident took place at the Wilshire Federal Building in Los Angeles where Marines took charge of the mission to protect the building earlier on Friday, in a rare domestic use of U.S. troops after days of protests over immigration raids.

Reuters images showed Marines apprehending a civilian, restraining his hands with zip ties and then handing him over to civilians from the Department of Homeland Security.

Asked about the incident, the U.S. military's Northern Command spokesperson said active duty forces "may temporarily detain an individual in specific circumstances."

"Any temporary detention ends immediately when the individual(s) can be safely transferred to the custody of appropriate civilian law enforcement personnel," a spokesperson said.

The 200 Marines and more than 2,000 National Guard now deployed to Los Angeles are tasked with protecting federal property and federal personnel. They will be joined by an additional 500 Marines and 2,000 more National Guard soldiers.

This means that they will accompany ICE agents on raids, officials have said.

The troops are authorized to detain people who pose a threat to federal personnel or property, but only until police can arrest them. Military officials are not allowed to carry out arrests themselves.

The Posse Comitatus Act generally forbids the U.S. military, including the National Guard, from taking part in civilian law enforcement.

Trump could take a more far-reaching step by invoking the Insurrection Act, which would allow troops to directly participate in civilian law enforcement.

'Unexpected household item mysteriously appearing in US mailboxes -- why you should leave it there'

 Opened your mailbox lately to find a random household object in with your daily selection of bills and junk?

Don’t be creeped out by the mysterious placement, and definitely don’t remove it — your mailman will thank you.

Here’s why it’s there: As temps rise, out come the yellowjackets and wasps. And apparently, they’ve got a thing for dark, cozy mailboxes. 

Unless, of course, there’s something in there they don’t like: scented dryer sheets.

It’s not junk mail — it’s anti-sting strategy, the postal worker on Reddit clarified. So sit back, sniff the lavender, and thank your local postie.will milne – stock.adobe.com

Which is why mail carriers across the country are turning to the unlikely weapon. 

“We’re almost to the month of May which means… the return of those dastardly devils,” wrote one postal worker in a Reddit post that’s buzzing across the internet and resurfacing the timetested method just in time for the summer seaason.

“We’ve found that they hate scented dryer sheets,” the aforementioned letter carrier revealed. “If we encounter a box that is a problem for nests, we’ll often put one in there and it does the trick.”

So before you freak out and think your house has been marked for a home invasion — yes, someone in the thread did float that theory — consider this your official PSA: Leave the sheet alone.

Who knew the secret to safe snail mail wasn’t a stamp — but a static-cling sheet from aisle 7? Many Redditors appreciated the tip.ddukang – stock.adobe.com

“I can’t tell you how many times… I’ve opened up a box to see a little nest with 3-5 Yellowjackets just chillin,” the same carrier wrote. “Last year alone I was stung 10 times on 10 separate occasions.”

And these aren’t gentle greetings from nature. “We all know how temperamental these little douchebags are,” the mailperson added. “Merely existing in their presence is enough to piss them off.”

The trick isn’t just a fringe tactic — Redditors have chimed in to say it works at restaurants too. “We learned long ago to put a few dryer sheets under the tablecloths on the patio,” one Californian wrote. “Yellowjackets often get into the guests’ plates, especially if they smell salmon.”

If you find a mystery sheet in your mailbox this summer, don’t toss it — your mail carrier just might be saving your hide, one Bounce at a time.Pixel-Shot – stock.adobe.com

The scent is the secret sauce — not the brand. And while it’s a handy deterrent, it’s not a fix for full-blown infestations. 

“This should only be used as a preventative measure,” the mail carrier clarified. “It would be best to get rid of the large nest and then put a dryer sheet in to keep them from coming back.”

Think twice before declaring your mailbox a lavender-free zone — because technically, it’s not even yours.

 “If you’re in the USA your mailbox isn’t personal property,” one commenter reminded. “The inside of the box is federal.”

The original poster summed it up best: “I’ve had to put dryer sheets in a few different boxes on my route and the customers have been removing them. So I just wanted to make a PSA.”

And before you think that mailing letters is a thing of a bygone era, you might be surprised to learn that Gen Zers and millennials are sending off snail mail, according to a survey conducted by Stamps.com last fall.

As previously reported by The Post, Nick Spitzman, Stamps.com general manager, said in the study, “Our research shows that mail is still incredibly relevant today.”

Nearly 65% of folks still send letters and packages each month, and almost half of Zoomers drop something in the mail once or twice a month.

About 37% of Americans say the personal touch is what seals the deal when it comes to snail mail — nothing beats the thrill of a handwritten note. 

For 41% of Gen Xers, it’s all about the act of sending itself, while 32% of Gen Zers just want to know their package won’t ghost them.
