I realize that living in a walkable city doesn't fully isolate me from rising fuel costs, but at least I'm not dinged both at shops and by my chosen modes of transportation at the same time. :P

Citing Brexit, Trump DOJ pushes ‘single day’ elections ahead of Supreme Court case attacking mail voting - Democracy Docket
“The rest of the world has elections and they occur on a single day and then they have the outcome later that day,” Dhillon said. “The U.K. determined Brexit in an election that took place in a single day with the outcome later that day. Why can’t America do it?”
Dhillon did not note that the entire United Kingdom is about the size of Oregon

Rhode Island Bank Staff Threatens To Call Police on Clients Trying To Close Accounts Over ICE
A video posted on Instagram showed some women inside a bank as they asked a staff member for help closing their account. “There’s no one here that we can talk to?” they questioned, to which he responded, saying, “Nope.”
The male staff then asked the group, “Are you guys here on business?” To which they answered, “We have accounts here, all of us have accounts here, and we’re excited to close them,” the woman tried to explain, adding that they were ready to close them unless Citizens Bank changed its policies.
“Yeah, funding private prisons that imprison children and families,” they stated as their reason. However, despite their displeasure as customers, the bank staff seemed unbothered and began threatening them to leave. “Alright, folks, I think it’s time to go,” he cruelly told them. Even when one of the women argued that she had an account with the bank, the man maintained his stance, further threatening to call the police on them, regardless of whether they were satisfied with the service.
The video's caption provided more context, explaining that Citizens Bank funds the expansion of ICE detention operations, which is why their accounts were closed. Furthermore, in the last two years, Citizens Bank has allegedly arranged $2.5 billion in financing to GEO and CoreCivic, the two largest companies running ICE detention centers, the accompanying caption claimed.
Malaysia becomes first country to cancel tariff deal with Trump
Malaysia on Wednesday officially confirmed that its trade deal with Washington had been terminated, after the US Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s “reciprocal” tariffs.
Malaysia became the first country to terminate a similar agreement with the Trump administration after a court ruling last month, Nikkei reported.
Other countries, including Indonesia and Cambodia, are currently reviewing similar deals without ratifying them. Washington, however, has insisted that governments that signed them abide by them until the court’s ruling.
“The deal is not suspended. It is no longer there, it is invalid,” said Commerce Secretary Johari Abdul Ghani, commenting on the status of the document.
