While a drain snake is incredibly helpful in clearing up your sink or bathtub drain, it’s important to prevent hair and other particles from building up in the first place. A drain snake is effective at cleaning out a bathtub drain, but they could potentially damage pipes if used improperly. Instead, use an enzyme-based liquid cleaner if you prefer that over a drain snake. If you have to unclog your bathtub drain but don’t have a drain snake, you can try using an enzyme-based cleaner, such as the Mighty Mint Drain Maintainer with Enzymes, to clear out the pipes.

Liam Payne, the former One Direction singer, had multiple drugs in his system when he fell to his death from a hotel balcony in Argentina's capital Buenos Aires, several local and international news outlets have reported. An initial toxicology report revealed the British singer, who died aged 31, had drugs in his system at the time of death including “pink cocaine,” according to a report from ABC News on Monday, which cited sources. Despite its name, law officials say "pink cocaine" rarely has any cocaine in it and the pink comes from food coloring. A memorial for Liam Payne outside Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires on Monday.

Retirement hasn’t made Tom Brady any less competitive. The seven-time Super Bowl champion responded sternly to Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield during the broadcast of Sunday’s game between the Buccaneers and Philadelphia Eagles. On the Casa de Klub podcast earlier this month, Mayfield described the environment in Tampa Bay under Brady — who played three seasons with the team before retiring after the 2022 season — as stressful. He had everybody dialed in, high-strung environment, so I think everybody was pretty stressed out,” Mayfield said. “I thought stressful was not having Super Bowl rings,” Brady said.

Sapunar described Saturday's canvassing event as a "show of solidarity between the immigrant and the Puerto Rican community." The majority of Pennsylvania’s Latino eligible voters are of Puerto Rican descent. In a UnidosUS survey, Pennsylvania Latino voters' top policy issues included jobs and the economy, the rising cost of living, immigration and abortion.

Spokesperson Jillian Cowherd said the voter registration process is started at the DMV, but completed at the Virginia Elections Department. It’s also used to verify voter rolls. But user and data errors in the DHS system — such as confusing people who share the same name — have led to people being inaccurately flagged on voter rolls, Clapman said. She said Youngkin’s announcement of noncitizen voters “stokes election denial generally, undermining faith in election results. Last October, election officials under Youngkin removed nearly 3,400 legal Virginia voters from the rolls, after misclassifying probation violators as felons.

PICACHO, Ariz. — How long does it take a large desert tortoise to get to the other side of a southern Arizona highway? It’s still a mystery, after a state Department of Public Safety trooper recently helped rescue an escaped sulcata tortoise that was attempting to cross Interstate 10 near Picacho. A motorist contacted authorities on July 30 to report a tortoise trying to cross the busy highway that’s halfway between Casa Grande and Tucson in Pinal County. Troopers saw the name “Stitch” labeled across the tortoise’s shell and contacted an ostrich ranch that was 3 miles away. According to the Arizona Republic, the ranch confirmed Stitch was one of it resident tortoises and had recently escaped from his habitat.
