Monae Johnson questioned vote-counting machines. Running elections changed her mind.

By Jessica Huseman for Votebeat Four years after far-right Republicans helped elect Monae Johnson as South Dakota secretary of state, she’s backing a Democrat to replace her. The cross-party endorsement is unusual. But the more interesting story is how Johnson got to this point, Votebeat reports. Johnson ousted a GOP incumbent in 2022 with support from activists who distrusted electronic vote-counting machines and wanted South Dakota to rely more heavily — or entirely — on hand-counting. Her own rhetoric was plenty skeptical, too. Former Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, a Democrat, said she has seen the same evolution play out among poll workers and county officials: People sometimes get involved in elections because they are skeptical of how they work. Then they discover that the problems they expected to find are not there and that some of the fixes they imagined are…

SMU finally learns to 'love the battle' in Mustangs' most convincing win of year vs. Cal

UNIVERSITY PARK — Trailing by three points at halftime to a team SMU was expected to beat by 20, some may have expected head coach Rhett Lashlee to rip into his team in the locker room. The Mustangs went on to outscore California 42-0 in the second half, so Lashlee's halftime speech must've lit some sort of fire. "I'd love to tell you I said something special. Whatever I did to get my wife to marry me, I kind of reconjured that up at halftime," Lashlee said, jokingly. But the coach's message to his team was rather one of embracing the exact situation they were in. "You've got to love the battle," Lashlee said. "You've got to love to compete. You've got to love to play. It's so easy to get caught up in the scoreboard. Love the battle. Love the journey." After battling closer than they would've liked for weeks, SMU's head coach encouraged his team to enjoy those games and reminded them…

Everyday Economics: The Fed can pause. Americans still won’t get much relief

The Fed has historically preferred to prepare markets before raising rates. Financial markets expect the Federal Reserve to leave interest rates unchanged this week. That remains my expectation. But the case for another increase is getting harder to dismiss. Regardless of the Fed’s decision next week, American households won’t get much relief. Prices are rising faster than wages, a frozen labor market makes finding a better-paying job harder, and borrowing costs remain stubbornly high. The recent stock market pullback adds pressure on households relying on investment gains to support their spending. The Fed has historically preferred to prepare markets before raising rates. Signaling helps borrowing costs adjust before the decision arrives and reduces unnecessary disruption. As Ben Bernanke explained, clearer communication makes rate decisions more predictable and allows the economy to…

Patriots might be skirting an NFL rule with their latest release of Bryce Baringer

Injuries were a major problem for the Patriots going into the 2026 season, with several starters on the Physically Unable to Perform list or on Injured Reserve. That trend has continued through the first half of the season. Among the most concerning absences in Week 1 was punter Bryce Baringer, who had become an integral part of the special teams operation after being drafted in 2023. Although he had been more inconsistent over the past year, replacing a punter is never easy, so the Patriots had a new task at hand. They landed on Mitch Wishnowsky, the seasoned veteran, who was a bit of a risk given his limited experience with the team, but over 7 games, he's exceeded expectations and sparked plenty of conversation about potentially replacing Baringer long term. And by the looks of it, with the Patriots' latest move, it's possible that's already happened. NFL insiders said Baringer was…
