tl;dr: "American democracy depends on the census. Trump is undermining it" is my new op-ed at the Guardian. Check it out!
For census geeks, this summer has been one eeeek after another. Planks of the Jenga tower keep getting pulled out. First, the White House announced that the Census Bureau must stop using sophisticated techniques to protect the public's confidentiality; they were told to go back to the 1960s and suppress data or round. The result will be less data, less quality data, and/or less privacy. It's bad all around. We are starting to see the impact: critical data has been delayed.
And then a group of political operatives weaseled themselves into the bureau to produce a report that "shows" that immigrants voted in the election. Never mind that even their report shows that it had no impact on the election. Or that the quality of the data were shite. Or that they violated every norm of the Census Bureau to produce a report without names, data quality metrics, or methods. Folks were reasonably up-in-arms about what this means for the undermining of our country's data systems.
And, then today, the Census Bureau released what they had leaked a month ago... The new "residence rules" for the 2030 census. While they are following protocol in how they are releasing them, the changes are gobsmacking. The White House is ordering the bureau to not collect data about race (or ethnicity or sexual orientation) by saying that this is the way to protect the privacy of the data and to ensure that the census is "colorblind." It's also ordering the bureau to not collect data about certain categories of non-citizens, despite the Constitutional requirement to count everyone. And there are lots of other weirdo changes in there. Like counting people based on where they live during the winter rather than where they live for the majority of the year (presumably to give states with "snow bird" populations extra people).
What bugs me the most about all of this is that the Constitution gave Congress the responsibility to govern the census. Will they? Or have they absconded with their responsibilities entirely?
And what will it take for Congress and the public to realize that every important decision about the 2030 census is about to take place NOW. Whenever I talk to people about the census, their eyes glaze over. And when I push, they tell me that it can all be fixed in 2029. It can't be. This piece of data infrastructure is the core of American democracy - and the critical questions are happening now.
Oh, how I wish that more people would care to learn about what's happening with the census. (Of course I do - I wrote a whole book about it.) It's just sooooo important. But it's also so infrastructural. And infrastructures are boring. But they shouldn't be!

Twenty-five years later, the Guardian asks US readers how the attacks affected their lives, and their country
As the United States commemorates the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, in which nearly 3,000 people were killed in New York City, Washington DC and Pennsylvania, the Guardian asked American readers to share how the attacks affected their day-to-day lives and the country at large.
Many readers shared their feeling of patriotism in the days following the attacks while also highlighting how the government’s response to 9/11 expanded government surveillance and fueled Islamophobia in the country. For those who were adults at the time of the attacks, the day marked a cataclysmic shift. For those too young to remember it, it served as the context for the complicated and violent world they grew up in.

The Englishman has gotten no shortage of recognition, but his contributions to the American game deserve an official title
Next spring, when the US Soccer Hall of Fame welcomes its newest class, there will be pomp and circumstance. The hall, which sits in a corner of Toyota Stadium, home of Major League Soccer’s FC Dallas, will feature the enshrineds’ signature red jackets. There will be glad-handing and speeches from players and coaches, misty-eyed reflections on their upbringings and their careers.
Many involved will be American-born soccer legends, of course. Yet every once in a while, a player whose footprint extends well beyond the borders of the United States graces the stage. Such may be the case next year when the hall potentially welcomes English legend David Beckham into the fold.

The US supreme court again rejected a push backed by Donald Trump to overhaul Missouri’s congressional maps in a bid to hand Republicans an edge in November’s midterm elections.
Its latest ruling, after days of confusion following conflicting decisions, appears to set the stage for the state to use its old electoral maps this year.

Daniel Owen Conahan Jr’s sentence will make him the state’s 15th person executed this year
A Florida man was scheduled for execution on Thursday after being convicted of one of a series of suspected killings that became known as the Hog Trail Murders in the 1990s.
Daniel Owen Conahan Jr, 72, was sentenced to die by lethal injection for the 1996 kidnapping and strangling of Richard Allen Montgomery. Authorities found Montgomery’s mutilated body in a wooded south-west Florida area where the remains of at least six people have been found over a three-year span.

Critics react to bid for Republican votes with incredulity and point to potential $1.2tn cost atop existing national debt
Donald Trump’s promise of a $5,000 “Trump dividend” for every US citizen if Republicans retain control of the US Congress in November’s midterm elections has sparked incredulity and accusations of bribery.
“If the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000,” Trump said during the unprecedented Republican midterm convention in Dallas. “It will be called the Trump dividend.”

L’enquête de la Sûreté du Québec se poursuit afin de déterminer les circonstances exactes entourant l’événement.


Teo Davidov doesn’t hit backhands. He serves from both sides. The 16-year-old from Denver is treating the tennis world to a wildly unorthodox style – and proving it’s more than a parlor trick
Teo Davidov always has the upper hands. An amiable junior prodigy from Denver, the 16-year-old was the oddest sight at this year’s US Open, the only player in the tournament – man, woman or junior – who hits only forehands. To be clear: it’s not that he doesn’t have a backhand or can’t hit a backhand. He’s ambidextrous and so he doesn’t bother with them.
It’s nothing personal. “To be honest, I like the traditional backhand-forehand,” he says. “I like the classiness of it. I like hitting backhands myself just to play around, just for fun.” He hits those from both wings, too.

Mike Rogers has also helped kill other bills that would have provided healthcare to responders and survivors
Mike Rogers, a Michigan Republican US Senate candidate, has sought in recent weeks to create controversy over old tweets his Democratic opponent, Abdul El-Sayed posted about 9/11. He has for example, falsely suggested El-Sayed, who is Muslim, said the US deserved the attack.
But, as critics have noted, Rogers has twice voted against healthcare and other benefits for 9/11 first responders and survivors, congressional records show. He has also helped kill other bills that would have provided benefits and healthcare to first responders nationwide. Rogers, a former member of Congress, is vying for Michigan’s open US Senate seat in a tight race that could decide control of Congress during the next session.

A Russian strike hit a warehouse across the street from Liudmyla and Leonid Ryzhak's Kyiv apartment overnight into 8 September, sending a blast wave through their home hours before they were due to get married, the Associated Press reported. Leonid, 43, a soldier on leave from the front, had come back for the wedding.
Ukrainians keep marrying and rebuilding through a war that keeps interrupting both. More than 79,000 couples registered their marriages in the first half of 2026, 16% more than in the same period last year, nearly 40% of them online, according to Ukraine's Ministry of Justice figures. In July alone, the UN counted 437 civilians killed across the country, the deadliest month since May 2022.
The explosion blew out the windows, scattered furniture, and left the apartment uninhabitable. The couple fled to a shelter with Liudmyla's 6-year-old daughter and two guinea pigs. Their cat hid and could not be found. A second strike hit after they reached the shelter.

Neighbors clearing debris stopped to congratulate them.
“We should all be celebrated, that we survived,” Liudmyla replied.
They dug their wedding clothes out of the debris. Liudmyla, 33, shook broken glass from her white tulle skirt, which had small holes. Leonid could not find his dress trousers, so he wore army trousers with his embroidered shirt and sneakers.

The strike was part of a mass Russian attack on Kyiv that came once US peace envoys left the capital, ending a lull that had held for three days. Russia launched 166 drones and 32 cruise missiles at Ukraine overnight, along with ballistic and anti-ship missiles, and air defenses downed 142 drones, 31 cruise missiles, and two ballistic missiles, the Air Force said. Three people were killed in Kyiv, Kyiv Mayor Vitalii Klitschko said.
The couple arrived at the registry office on time, at 10:40, but another air-raid siren sounded soon after and the office closed. They waited in the courtyard for almost three hours as explosions hit the surrounding districts.
Eventually, the alert ended, and the couple went inside.
"If God gave me a continuation of life, then why should I put it off?" Liudmyla said. "At least for now, I have the right to be happy," she added.
They got married.


Despite its location, the island chain has avoided the worst effects, but Hurricanes Lowell and Lala left a trail of damage this year
Hurricane Lowell surged near the Hawaiian Islands this week, leaving a trail of downed trees and power lines, crumbled roads, sunken boats and destroyed piers on the island of Kauai.
Residents were left to grapple not only with the damage, but the rising risks to the tropical archipelago as sea surface temperatures climb.

Faute d’argent pour poursuivre les opérations, la MRC de Rimouski-Neigette suspendra son service de transport collectif pour une durée indéterminée à compter du 1er janvier 2027.
Les élus ont pris la décision après avoir analysé la situation financière du service et le financement attendu au cours des prochaines années.
La MRC affirme avoir fait plusieurs démarches auprès du gouvernement du Québec pour obtenir une hausse de l’aide versée dans le cadre du Programme d’aide au développement du transport collectif. Ces démarches n’ont toutefois pas permis d’obtenir les sommes nécessaires pour maintenir le service.
« Il s’agit d’une décision extrêmement difficile, mais nécessaire dans le contexte actuel. Nous sommes conscients des impacts pour les usagers et nous partageons leurs préoccupations », affirme la préfète de la MRC de Rimouski-Neigette, Julie Thériault, dans un communiqué.
Les usagers avaient déjà été informés de la situation plus tôt cette année. La MRC a aussi tenu une séance d’information en mai dernier et mené un sondage auprès de la clientèle.
Une hausse des tarifs a notamment été envisagée. Certains utilisateurs se sont dits prêts à payer davantage, mais la MRC estime que l’achalandage actuel ne permettrait pas de combler le manque à gagner prévu à compter de 2027.
Le service pourrait toutefois revenir si la situation financière s’améliore.
« Nous continuerons de suivre l’évolution des programmes gouvernementaux et d’évaluer toutes les options qui pourraient rendre à nouveau possible l’offre d’un service de transport collectif adapté aux réalités de notre territoire », ajoute madame Thériault.
La MRC suivra notamment ce qui découlera des prochaines élections provinciales ainsi que le nouveau programme de financement annoncé pour 2028.
Des changements toucheront aussi le transport adapté dès le 1er janvier 2027. À cette date, Esprit-Saint ne fera plus partie du territoire desservi par le service de transport adapté de la MRC de Rimouski-Neigette.
La municipalité prendra elle-même le relais sur son territoire. Cette décision répond à une demande d’Esprit-Saint, qui invoque des coûts devenus trop importants.
La MRC attribue une partie du problème aux changements apportés au financement gouvernemental du transport adapté.
Le programme 2025-2027, annoncé en mai 2025, laissait d’abord entrevoir une certaine stabilité. Selon la MRC, le ministère en a toutefois modifié les règles en décembre dernier, avec un effet rétroactif au 1er janvier 2025.
La MRC soutient que ces changements ne tiennent pas compte de la hausse de près de 20 % de l’achalandage enregistrée en 2025. L’aide financière versée pour chaque déplacement est aussi plafonnée.
Le financement des déplacements à l’extérieur du territoire demeure également incertain. La question touche surtout les municipalités rurales dont certains résidents doivent se rendre à Rimouski, où un service distinct de transport adapté est déjà offert.
La MRC prévoit que les quotes-parts demandées aux municipalités pourraient grimper de façon importante d’ici 2027.
« Cette décision découle malheureusement d’un programme de soutien en transport adapté inadéquat et de la reconnaissance par le conseil de la MRC des enjeux financiers ainsi que de la volonté exprimée par la municipalité d’Esprit-Saint de pouvoir administrer elle-même son service de transport adapté », souligne Julie Thériault.
D’ici au changement prévu en janvier, la MRC entend accompagner les usagers concernés.

Ukraine's Bulava strike drone can now hunt around the clock, its crews no longer switching optics between day and night. Its maker, DeViRo, showed the upgraded drone at a defense exhibition in Poland, the Military news outlet Militarnyi reported. The overhaul brings a new camera and lengthens the drone's flight time, and the developers say they substantially improved its flight characteristics. The company said every future production batch will carry the new optics.
Ukraine's war effort increasingly runs on small private firms that keep sharpening cheap drones in months, reworking weapons already in the fight rather than waiting years for a new model. A drone that sees in the dark can work the same targets after sunset that it hunts by day.
The updated loitering munition carries a multispectral optical station that lets it operate at any hour, a company representative told Militarnyi at the MSPO defense exhibition in Poland. The station packs a daytime channel and a thermal-imaging channel into one body, so crews no longer swap in different camera modules depending on the time of day. Operators flip between the two modes in the control station's software while the drone is already in the air.
Bulava now stays aloft for up to 110 minutes, and its guaranteed working range runs from 120 to 130 km, with room to grow depending on conditions and crew training.
DeViRo tied the drone to a summer campaign against Russian logistics, in which it says Bulava crews cleared the way for deeper strikes.
"We knocked out enemy radars and air defenses so that deep strikes could fly as deep as possible," the company representative said.
The company says its crews took a very active part in that campaign, which hit Russian supply routes across the south.
DeViRo builds more than strike drones. In March, it introduced the Sokyra interceptor, a prototype built to shoot down Russian attack drones. The prototype was listed at 240 km/h, a 45 km range, 30 minutes aloft, and a 750-gram warhead at the alpha-testing stage.
