IMPORTANT NOTICE

Rumors are circulating that the Trump administration could put an end to the 1989 George H.W. Bush Sr. ban on the import of over 43 types of semiautomatic rifles, including the Chinese-made AK-47 and Israeli-made Uzi carbine. Read more on the development here.
Fly fishing may be the most traditional approach to the sport, but it certainly has its merits and is still popular among many. If you’re a fly-fisher or would love to give it a shot, check out this ultimate fly fishing gear guide for 2025.
These nine chest exercises can be easily incorporated into any workout plan and are quick and easy to do anywhere, with no equipment required. Check it out here.

MORNING MEME

FAMILY TIPS

TV or gaming tokens are a simple system that helps kids balance screen time without constant battles. Parents give out tokens—physical coins, cards, or even slips of paper—that kids can “spend” for a set amount of screen time. When the tokens are gone, the screens turn off. This method teaches kids responsibility, helps them self-manage time, and turns limits into a clear, fair system—less nagging for parents, more structure for kids.

REALITY CHECK

In yet another act of horrifying political violence, three people were shot at an ICE facility by a 29-year-old individual who engraved “anti-ICE” messaging on the ammunition and was motivated by “hatred for ICE,” according to the DHS. The shooting came just one day after California Governor Gavin Newsom appeared on Stephen Colbert, labeling certain tactics of ICE as “authoritarian actions”. Read more on the shooting here.
