👟 Keep your shoes on! TSA changed its “shoe rule” and will no longer require airline passengers to remove their shoes at security. The rule was first implemented after a British man boarded a plane to Miami in 2001 and attempted to detonate an explosive hidden in his shoes.
Kids across Texas raised thousands of dollars for flood relief with lemonade stands
In the wake of the devastating loss of an estimated 27 campers and counselors at Camp Mystic, an all-girls summer camp on the banks of the Guadalupe River, young Texans are serving up support for the camp and the families through lemonade stands.
A 14-year-old raised $600, 9-year-old twins raised over $5,000, and one kid’s stand even linked to a GoFundMe — which has now surpassed $440,000 in donations — all with 100% of proceeds benefiting campers and families at Camp Mystic.
Why is this good news? It can feel overwhelming to do something to help that seems small in comparison to a tragedy as devastating as the Texas flooding. But these seemingly small acts of generosity, where all you need is a table and pitcher of lemonade, really matter … and they add up to make a really big difference.

After decades of conservation efforts, Maryland is now home to one of the biggest populations of bald eagles in the U.S.
Today, Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay is home to the highest concentration of bald eagles in the contiguous United States, a momentous milestone that has been a long time coming.
The bald eagles’ population rapidly declined in the early 1970s due to illegal hunting, habitat loss, and widespread pesticide use. They were classified as endangered under the Endangered Species Act in 1967, and those protections eventually led to their removal from the list in 2007.
But local conservation efforts continued, and for the last two decades, the Maryland Bird Conservation Partnership has coordinated a nest monitoring program for bald eagles in the state. Their efforts have led to the bald eagle’s population growing by over 250%.
