Over 300 protests held Saturday against Trump redistricting push
Aug 16 (Reuters) - Pro-democracy activists and labor groups held hundreds of rallies and other events across the United States on Saturday protesting the Trump administration's push for Texas to redraw its congressional map in favor of Republicans.
Former Congressman Beto O'Rourke was among those who spoke on Saturday in Texas, from which dozens of Democratic state lawmakers fled to deny Republicans the quorum needed to vote on a redistricting plan that President Donald Trump had demanded.

The protests didn't get much Nooz coverage except for the one in Washington DC, where they have the same legitimate gripe that LA has. (Hint: it's the same legitimate gripe that Gaza has, but with only a tiny fraction of the consequences.)

Sign the back of the ticket and take a photo of both sides.
Contact the nearest lottery office as soon a possible.
Until you turn the ticket over to the lottery office, find a secure place, like a safe deposit box, to store it.
Don't tell anyone you've won or you'll be inundated with people wanting you to give them some of your money.

Molecular discovery that won Nobel Prize in chemistry is likened to ‘Harry Potter’ enchanted handbag
STOCKHOLM (AP) — Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in chemistry on Wednesday for their development of metal–organic frameworks that could eventually help reduce pollution and combat climate change. A member of the Nobel committee likened the discovery to Hermione Granger’s seemingly bottomless enchanted handbag in the “Harry Potter” series, in that the frameworks may look small from the outside, but are able to hold surprisingly vast quantities within them.
The Nobel Committee said Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi were being awarded for “groundbreaking discoveries,” saying “some of these may contribute to solving some of humankind’s greatest challenges.”
