Live from MPR News, I'm Jial Snyder.
President Trump and Iran are sending conflicting signals.
Iran denies at talks are being held, but President Trump claims Iran is eager for a deal to end the war, and that the U.S. is talking with an Iranian leader he did not identify. "We've wiped out the leadership phase one, phase two, and largely phase three, but we're
“dealing with the man who I believe is the most respected and the leader."”
Over the weekend, President Trump gave Iran 48 hours to open the Strait of Formus, or the U.S. would strike Iranian power plants. On Monday, he postponed that deadline for five days, saying the U.S. and Iran have held talks. Oil prices retreated, following Trump's remarks.
But Brent Crude has since moved back above $100 a barrel in Asia.
Trump administration wants to build an upbed space to detain $100,000 unauthorized
immigrants, but they're contending with significant local opposition. In Piers and U.S., the reports have pushed back stems from a range of concerns. The Department of Homeland Security has proposed buying up and leasing warehouses across the country to convert them into ice detention centers. Their vision is a hub and spoke model, with eight large centers each holding up to 10,000
people.
“The large centers would each be fed by 16 more regional processing centers.”
But in many cities, their efforts have been thwarted by grassroots outcry. Some communities like Oakwood, Georgia, cite costs and infrastructure as the main issue. Others, like Jackson County, Missouri, cite political and moral concerns. In Mayor Mack, New Hampshire, conservative Hutchins, Texas, and even deep-red Oklahoma city, community uproar led DHS to back away from proposed detention sites.
Newsomather, NPR News, Washington, on Capitol Hill, the Senate voted Monday to confirm Oklahoma Republican Senator Mark Wayne Mullen to serve as President Trump's next home land security secretary. He replaces Christy Nome. The Supreme Court may be poised to toss out a Mississippi law that allows some mail-in
ballads to be counted after election day. The court heard arguments Monday, in a case that has a potential to make mail-in voting
“harder for some voters as it appears Ashley Lopez reports.”
13 states plus DC and some U.S. territories count mail-in ballots that are received after election day, as long as they're post-marked on time. The Republican National Committee argues this is in a legal practice because Congress set an election day. They argued that means that all voting and receipt of ballots end that day.
However, Mississippi officials argued voters submitting their ballot in the mail-by-election day complies with federal statute, even ballots that aren't received by officials until after election day. Members of the Court's conservative majority appeared to be skeptical of this argument, though two of the six were tougher to read, liberal members of the Court suggested, however, that
it is up to Congress to set rules on how states run elections. Ashley Lopez and PR News. This is NPR. Sunday night's crash at New York's LaGuardia airport is renewing focus on staffing shortages fatigue and other factors.

One of the best ways to prevent kidney stones is to drink more water.
It appears Allison Aubrey has more on this latest research.
About a million Americans go to the ER with painful kidney stones each year that kidneys
filter blood to remove waste from our bodies and help the body balance fluids electrolytes under acid. But imbalances can cause crystals to form in lead to stones. A review of 31 studies found that among people who had already had a kidney stone, it's possible to significantly reduce the likelihood of a recurrence by increasing fluid intake.
Experts recommend about eight cups of water per day. Researchers found a low sodium diet and decreasing animal protein may help too and there's some evidence that adding a little lemon juice to water may also reduce recurrence, Alice and Aubrey and PR news.
