"Lie from NPR News," I'm Lakshmi saying.
General election contests are decided in several more states at Hill Primarys yesterday,
“including Nevada, South Carolina, North Dakota, and Maine, where Democrats attempt to flip”
the seat held by Republican Susan Collins, is being closely watched for the U.S. Senate. And Pierce Evenfall reports that despite a series of controversies, Graham Platner was elected at the Democratic nominee. Susan Collins is a Republican representing a state that votes for Democrats at the presidential and statewide level. So on paper, it should be an easy pickup for Democrats, especially in a year, where people
are sour on the Republican party. And there are a lot of Democratic voters showing up and surging to vote.
You know, it is a state that is basically a must win for both Democrats and Republicans
to have control of the Senate. NPR Sevenfall are reporting the prediction market site Calshy is starting to require traders to reveal their employers as a way of cracking down on insider trading. This comes as a popular betting site faces new pressures to combat market manipulation and Pierce Bobby Allen reports.
“Calshy says putting money down on a company's performance or national security matters”
like the war in Iran will now mean revealing where you work. The election market apps like Calshy and Pauli market have soared in President Trump's second term thanks to lacks regulations, allowing virtually anyone to bet on anything from the color of President Trump's tie to who will be eliminated on the next season of love island.
But there's growing research that some of the billions of dollars traded every week on the apps is done so using insider intel. Calshy's new employer disclosure requirements come as lawmakers and regulators in Washington way new rules for the industry. But critics of the administration say since the president's son Donald Trump Jr. is an
advisor to both companies, the new rules are not expected to be too stringent. Bobby Allen and PR news NPR has obtained a letter from ICE to members of Congress that provides insight into the agency's data collection practices on protestors NPR's
“Jude Jaffee Black reports peaceful observers have argued their first amendment rights are”
being violated when they are surveilled and tracked by federal agents. Former acting director of ICE Todd Lyons has denied his agency has a database of protesters. Lyons recently departed his post, but after Florida Congressman Maxwell Frost and other Democrats posed additional questions earlier this year, Lyons wrote a response back in April that NPR is the first media outlet to review.
The letter indicates that ICE gives itself wide latitude to collect biographic and biometric data on people who agents believe are threatening officer safety or impeding operations. Civil liberties advocates say it's the clearest official acknowledgment yet that ICE may be routinely gathering and preserving information on protesters and observers who are not arrested, Jude Jaffee Black and PR news.

Today President Trump signed a $70 billion immigration enforcement package, meanwhile
Congress has until Friday to approve an extension of the Foreign Surveillance Intelligence Act, the law allowing U.S. surveillance of foreigners. Some lawmakers are concerned about passing a 5/6 extension while the position of director of national intelligence remains in limbo, but House Speaker Mike Johnson says he's in favor of a short term extension while President Trump finds Tulsi Gabbards replacement.

The nation's leading medical group for women's health is advising all pregnant women to
keep getting their routine COVID vaccines. Ms. NPR's Rob Stein reports that's no longer a position the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention hold. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists includes the COVID vaccine guidance in the group's latest vaccine recommendations for pregnant women.
The group says all pregnant women should continue getting the COVID shot, along with vaccinations for the flu, whooping cough, tetanus, diphtheria, and RSV. It's the first time the group's recommendations have differed from the CDC's. Several leading medical groups have issued their own vaccine guidance because of changes to federal vaccine recommendations under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
