But earlier this year, the Pentagon rescinded that regulation, fired the outlet's internal editorial watchdog, and the DOD's chief spokesman said the publication needed to quote, refocus its content away from woke distractions that siphon morale.

And last update: the US Postal Service has finalized its plans to restrict mail-in ballots, in line with an earlier executive order from President Trump cracking down on that voting method.
voice-verified
The Postal Service says that under the new rule, it would review every envelope with a ballot and would not deliver any in states that do not share voter data with the federal government.
voice-verified
The key thing to know is that the Postal Service says this plan will only go into place if the Supreme Court rules in favor of the president, whose voting restrictions have for the most part been blocked by lower courts.
voice-verified
The justices could rule on this at any time.

Trump has repeatedly made baseless claims that voting by mail, which historically Democrats have done more than Republicans, is cheating.

In the western US, federal officials have stepped into a long running dispute over how to distribute water from the Colorado River, a critical water source which is running dangerously low.
voice-verified
The river supplies drinking water to over forty million people and is used to irrigate millions of acres of farmland across seven states and parts of Mexico.
voice-verified
But years of drought and overuse have pushed reservoirs along the river to record lows, straining a system that was designed long before cities like Phoenix were some of the fastest growing in the country.
voice-verified
The situation has pitted states against each other and set off years of negotiations about who can use how much water.
voice-verified
According to the administration's new plan, the three states in the lower section of the river, Arizona, California, and Nevada, have agreed to sharp cuts over the next two years.
voice-verified
Arizona will be hit the hardest, losing about a third of its allocation from the river.
voice-verified
In all, the states will need to rely more on groundwater, boost water efficiency, and limit some users.
voice-verified
The agricultural industry in particular is likely to feel the pressure.
voice-verified
Nearly half of the Colorado River's water goes towards growing crops to feed livestock.
voice-verified
For the moment, the other states in the river basin, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Wyoming, have refused to accept any mandatory cuts.
voice-verified
One of the negotiators involved in trying to design a long-term strategy for the region called this round of restrictions, quote, a bridge, not a permanent solution.
voice-verified
He said that all seven states that rely on the river will need to take action in the coming years to avoid a water crisis.

In Ukraine, the Times is covering the emergence of an experimental new weapon on the battlefield: fully autonomous drones, guided by artificial intelligence.
