"Clear attack on our voting rights": Arizona college students sue to stop Trump's election order
A coalition of advocacy organizations sued the Trump administration Monday over President Donald Trump's executive order requiring Americans to present proof of citizenship to register to vote. Such a requirement — beyond exceeding the president's authority over state-run elections — would effectively silence the voice of college students registering for the first time, unsheltered voters and Native voters, argued the Arizona Students' Association, one of the parties to the lawsuit.
"We really saw firsthand what it looks like in Arizona if we do have these onerous citizenship requirements, so we really wanted to be a part of the voice fighting back to make sure that doesn't happen across the country," Kyle Nitschke, the organization's co-executive director, told Salon, referring to a now-blocked state law that also requires proof of citizenship. In a statement accompanying the lawsuit, he described Trump's order as a "clear attack on our voting rights," arguing that a federal proof of citizenship requirement would further disenfranchise college students.

After promising transparency, RFK guts public records teams at HHS
Teams that fulfilled requests for government documents lost their jobs on Tuesday as part of the Trump administration's 10,000-person staff cuts at the Department of Health and Human Services. Their work, mandated by Congress since the 1960s under the Freedom of Information Act or FOIA, gives the public a view of the inner workings of federal health agencies.
Some public records teams were entirely cut at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institutes of Health and other agencies on Tuesday, according to multiple current and former staffers who did not want to be named because of fears of retribution. A few people have been left standing on other FOIA teams within these agencies, for now.
GOP lawmakers sink House Speaker Johnson's effort to block remote voting for new parents
A band of Republican lawmakers sank an effort Tuesday by Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., to kill a plan to allow remote voting for lawmakers who become new parents, a bitter dispute that brought the House floor to a halt.
A procedural rule vote to advance the House GOP’s package of bills for the week failed 206-222, with nine Republicans bucking Johnson and voting with all 213 Democrats. The failed vote means that, for now, those pieces of legislation cannot move forward for final votes.

I know the headline is satire, but we all know this is exactly the same kind of half-brained report we'd get from someone who already knows damn well what the problem is and who caused it (i.e., themselves) but think they can weasel out of responsibility by pretending to play dumb.
Don't tell me any useful information like there's literally water pouring out of it (becauseyoufloodedthesecondfloorbathroomyoumoron). "Oh, there's just 'something' wrong with it. I don't understand all that technical mumbo-jumbo, maybe you could just come look?"

rEFInd doesn't show BTRFS snapshots.
What I want:
To boot into a BTRFS snapshots from rEFind boot manager. But rEFInd doesn't show the snapshots.
Additional Info:
- So, apparently, to restore the BTRFS snapshot of a root subvolume, I shouldn't do it with the root partition being actively used.
>
> - So, I need to boot into the desired snapshot from the boot manager itself.
>
> - GRUB has
grub-btrfs, which lets you boot into snapshot from OS selection screen itself.
>
> - rEFInd has refind-btrfs, which should do the same as
grub-btrfs. But it didn't in my case. I am not seeing any way to boot into a snapshot from rEFInd.
>
> - I use
BTRFS Assistantwithsnapperto manage snapshots.
>
> - I am not seeing any way to restore the snapshot from live environment too.
>
> - I am using CachyOS (Arch) with Plasma DE.
>
> - I suspect the reason is my unusual
/efi/bootpartition layout. (attached below)
>
> - I did my partition this way because, my initial EFI partition had less storage (as seen on image), so , I created another
bootpartition and mounted my pre-existingEFIpartition to/boot/efi. I did this by referring a Youtube video (I know, I should've known better)

From arch's site:
Tip: make sure btrfs_x64.efi driver is installed, it can be installed manually by copying from /usr/share/refind/drivers_x64/btrfs_x64.efi to esp/EFI/refind/drivers_x64/btrfs_x64.efi, or you can install all drivers with the refind-install /dev/sdx --alldrivers option.
Warning: btrfs_x64.efi does not support raid1c3/4.
Thank you.
But, its already there. Also, I don't do any raid.

Dow drops 1,400 as US stocks lead worldwide sell-off after Trump's tariffs ignite a COVID-like shock
Everything from crude oil to Big Tech stocks to the value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies fell. Even gold, which has hit records recently as investors sought something safer to own, pulled lower. Some of the worst hits walloped smaller U.S. companies, and the Russell 2000 index of smaller stocks dropped 5.9% to pull it more than 20% below its record.Wall Street had long assumed Trump would use tariffs merely as a tool for negotiations with other countries, rather than as a long-term policy. But Wednesday’s announcement may suggest Trump sees tariffs more as helping to solve an ideological goal than just an opening bet in a poker game. Trump on Wednesday talked about wresting manufacturing jobs back to the United States, a process that could take years.
If Trump follows through on his tariffs, stock prices may need to fall much more than 10% from their all-time high in order to reflect the recession that could follow, along with the hit to profits that U.S. companies could take. The S&P 500 is now down roughly 11% from its record set in February.
“Markets may actually be underreacting, especially if these rates turn out to be final, given the potential knock-on effects to global consumption and trade,” said Sean Sun, portfolio manager at Thornburg Investment Management, though he sees Trump’s announcement on Wednesday as more of an opening move than an endpoint for policy.
