Hundreds of American troops are deployed in eastern Syria…...

47+ min ago (1681+ words) Derrin Robinson has worked in Oregon elections for more than 30 years, long enough to remember when voters in the state cast their ballots at physical polling sites instead of by mail. As the nonpartisan clerk of Harney County, a vast, rural expanse larger than Massachusetts, Robinson oversees elections with about 6,000 registered voters. Oregon has exclusively conducted elections by mail since 2000, a system he thinks works well, requires fewer staff and doesn't force voters to travel through treacherous weather to reach a polling place. "As you can tell, I'm not an advocate for going back," Robinson said. Not everyone agrees. An Oregon Republican lawmaker has introduced legislation to end the state's mail voting law, and organizers of a ballot measure campaign seeking to ban mail-in voting say they have gathered thousands of signatures. Across the United States, voting by mail faces…...

59+ min ago (329+ words) A federal judge had previously overturned the murder conviction of the inmate, Terry Pitchford, but an appeals court reversed that ruling. The justices stepped into the case involving the same prosecutor, former District Attorney Doug Evans, who was at the center of a high court case that resulted in a 2019 decision that overturned the death sentence and conviction of Curtis Flowers. The case will be argued in the spring. U.S District Judge Michael P. Mills held that the judge who oversaw Pitchford's trial didn't give the man's lawyer enough chance to argue that the prosecution was improperly dismissing Black jurors. Mills wrote that his ruling was partially motivated by Evans' actions in prior cases. Pitchford was sentenced to death for his role in the 2004 killing of Reuben Britt, the owner of the Crossroads Grocery, just outside Grenada in northern Mississippi. In…...

1+ hour, 8+ min ago (694+ words) If you'd rather spend Christmas Day in your den than in a hot kitchen, restaurant chains have solutions for you. Many are offering takeout feasts for as many as a dozen people. They typically include turkey or beef, potatoes, bread and sides. Some feasts also include desserts, frequently pumpkin or apple pies. Most feasts are heat-and-serve, meaning they take two or three hours to reheat but not the kind of effort required for making a traditional Christmas meal from scratch. Restaurants also offer preordering for meat only, sides or desserts. Heat-and-serve meals need to be ordered and picked up in advance. This year, Christmas falls on Thursday, Dec. 25, so most pickup will be on or before Christmas Eve, Wednesday, Dec. 24. The following restaurant chains have announced holiday feasts on their websites, social media pages or in news releases. Prices are…...

1+ hour, 26+ min ago (392+ words) Opening remarks by Assistant U.S. Attorney Keith Alexander kicked off an extraordinary trial for a public official. Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan is charged with obstruction and concealment for her actions this spring during President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown. The trial in federal court in Milwaukee will center on what happened when Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, 31, reported to the county courthouse in April for a hearing on a state crime. Authorities say Dugan led him out through a back door that led to a public corridor after she told immigration agents to speak with the chief judge about trying to arrest people at the courthouse. "They did not expect a judge, sworn to uphold the law, would divide their arrest team and impede their efforts to do their jobs," Alexander told the jury. He said Dugan informed her court reporter that she…...
