Live from NPR news and Washington, I'm Rylan Barton.
The Supreme Court has paused a lower court's ruling on President Trump's order to restrict
mail-in voting for the midterm election, but his NPR's Hansella Wong reports the postal service is still blocked from following Trump's order. It remains unclear what impact President Trump's order will have a mail-in voting for the midterms. The order calls for the U.S. Postal Service to get lists of eligible voters from states
and deliver ballots only to people on those lists. The U.S. P.S. is a financial supporter of NPR.
“In June of federal judge embossed and blocked key parts of Trump's order in the 23 states”
plus Washington, you see that suit. That judge found Trump overstepped a President's authority under the Constitution, which gives power to state legislatures and Congress to set federal election rules. The Supreme Court did not weigh in on whether the order is illegal, but it did approve Trump's request to pause the judge's June ruling on the directors for U.S. P.S.
But the same judge embossed and recently issued a separate ruling that blacks U.S. P.S. from following Trump's order across the country on the along NPR news. The Trump administration is pressuring countries to cut economic ties with Iran. As Imperial Special Calendar reports, the Treasury Department calls it Operation Economic Outcast and warns that countries have to choose between the U.S. and Iran.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant says no one is above the reach of U.S. sanctions if they're helping Iran make money from oil or other key sectors, but he wouldn't spell out what countries could face secondary sanctions or when they might be punished.
“We know who they are. They know who they are. So when the hammer of U.S. Treasury”
Actions falls upon them, they will have no one to blame, but themselves. Asked why the U.S. is giving countries like China and other Iranian trading partners more time to respond to the threat of sanctions, Bessant said, "Why would I want to blow up the global financial system?"

hours before polls close in South Carolina to support Darlene Graham for Senate as NPR's Tamer Keith reports Trump endorsed Graham, who's the sister of the late Senator Lindsey Graham.
Maga Inc is sitting on more than $400 million in campaign cash, but hasn't been spending
it. Super PAC is injecting $827,000 in last-minute assistance to Darlene Graham for get out the vote phone calls and text messages. Trump also held a rally for Graham last Friday begging South Carolinians to get out and vote

More than 300 people have died of Ebola in eastern Congo in the past week, workers are struggling to contain the outbreak as it spreads at unprecedented speed, it's recorded more than 5,500 cases in 2,600 deaths. Experts believe the outbreak could be three times the known size, nearly half of those infected have died.
Molecules have long been made by using lots of energy to force atoms together or break them apart, but a Stanford material scientist is using light with a fraction of the energy. Here's NPR's Ari Daniel. And Dione uses light as a kind of chemical scalpel. A tool that allows you to very precisely control what atoms and molecules are doing.
To create exactly the product you want and very little of the products you don't want. Dione and our team illuminate nanoparticles with laser light, which pushes electrons around and just the right way to make or break bonds, precisely forging the desired molecule without the heat and pressure that requires so much energy. The technique can be used to make fertilizer and convert greenhouse gases into fuels, processes
that Dione believes can be scaled up within a few years. Ari Daniel, NPR News. A live oak tree at a revolutionary war battlefield in South Carolina is getting a new lease on life. The witness tree was there during the September 1781 Battle of Utah Springs, chains have
held it together for 50 years ever since a lightning bolt nearly split it in two. They're getting replaced with a modern support system and lightning rods. This is NPR News from Washington.
