Insider's Lisa Dittrich gave up drinking alcohol for a year. "I realized that although I had fun drinking, it took away much more than it gave me," she writes. When I stopped drinking alcohol one year ago, I had no idea how I was going to keep it up. Anyone who doesn't drink alcohol knows — and probably hates — the question "Why don't you drink?," myself included. I realized that although I had fun drinking, it took away much more than it gave me.

If it is signed into law, the omnibus bill would address the summer food gap low-income families face in two ways. It would permit “grab-and-go” free summer meals to be distributed in rural communities as part of the nationwide Summer Food Service Program, expanding access for more children in need. The Summer EBT program would start in 2024. And so having options like Summer EBT, having options like grab-and-go, other noncongregate options, is the way to be able to do that.”The summer nutrition program expansions in the bill were championed by Sens. "We know too often children who are able to get healthy meals in school go hungry during the summer.

Although prominent election deniers in critical battleground states lost at the polls, their movement has had far-reaching impact. In reality, the livestream app suffered a glitch that caused the cameras to stop working, county officials said in a statement after investigating the blackout. IN ARIZONA, BOOSTING SECURITYIn Arizona's Maricopa County, election officials strengthened doors, added shatterproof film on windows and stationed a security guard in the ballot-counting room. In Georgia's Gwinnett County, which includes part of the greater Atlanta area, election officials held planning meetings with local law enforcement to beef up security, Elections Supervisor Zach Manifold told Reuters. The plan included keeping sheriff's officers on site for longer to ensure election staff felt safe, he said.

Officials in Philadelphia voted at an emergency meeting Tuesday morning to reinstate a security measure that could dramatically slow vote counting in Pennsylvania's most populous city. The procedure, known as poll book reconciliation, requires temporarily halting vote counting to scan poll books into the voting system to ensure those who've voted in person did not also vote by mail. Philadelphia is the only one of the 67 counties in the battleground state that will use the procedure during the count. Turnout is expected to be much higher Tuesday, with the hotly-contested Senate race between Democrat John Fetterman and Republican Mehmet Oz. He also said his group had been trying to work with Philadelphia election officials for weeks, and "if there are delays, only the commissioners are to blame."

Attendees of a Trump rally last week appeared to do a QAnon finger salute, generating controversy. On Friday, supporters at a North Carolina rally appeared to repeat the salute before security stopped them. Trump has recently appeared to embrace the QAnon conspiracy movement more than ever before. One man told her he was infuriated by being told to stop, saying it was his "Constitutional right." The recent critical coverage of Trump's QAnon links might have influenced security at the North Carolina rally to prevent members of the crowd from saluting.
