AMERICANALMANAC (Alan Benson) - Couples ditch shared meals in growing 'food divorce' trend — but therapists warn it may cost them more than dinner Mon Sep 21 19:06:19 2026

A rising number of American couples are splitting their kitchens instead of their households, adopting what relationship therapists now call a "food divorce", and the trend reveals as much about modern isolation as it does about what's for dinner. The arrangement works exactly the way it sounds. Two people share a home but stop planning, cooking, and eating meals together. Each partner handles food on their own schedule, with their own preferences, no negotiation required. Relationship therapist Erin Pash, founder and CEO of the counseling platform Caveman to Casanova, told the New York Post that the practice boils down to one thing: removing food from the daily list of things a couple has to fight about. The numbers behind the shift are…Open

AMERICANALMANAC (Sadie Smith) - Smithsonian chief Lonnie Bunch retires as Trump administration challenges museum's ideological direction Sun Sep 20 22:33:46 2026

Lonnie G. Bunch III, the first African American to lead the Smithsonian Institution, announced he will step down by year's end after a sustained clash with the Trump administration over what the White House calls ideological bias in the nation's museums. Bunch, 73, told CBS News in an interview at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., that his decision was not driven by White House pressure, though he acknowledged the political fight was one reason he stayed as long as he did. He framed his departure in personal terms, but the timeline tells a different story about the institutional stakes involved. The retiring secretary has spent the last year and a half at the center of a growing confrontation between the Trump…Open

A congressional investigation found that ActBlue, the Democratic Party's primary online fundraising platform, twice loosened its own fraud-prevention standards in 2024 despite internal warnings that doing so would let more illegal contributions through, and board members have refused to explain why.

A congressional investigation found that ActBlue, the Democratic Party's primary online fundraising platform, twice loosened its own fraud-prevention standards in 2024 despite internal warnings that doing so would let more illegal contributions through, and board members have refused to explain why. The House Oversight Committee, working jointly with the House Administration Committee, released a report Wednesday alleging that ActBlue engaged in a deliberate "cover-up" of fraudulent donations, including contributions traced to foreign sources. The committees shared the report first with Fox News, and the findings paint a picture of a fundraising operation that chose speed and volume over compliance, then stonewalled the investigators who…Open

AMERICANALMANAC (Alan Benson) - Jon Voight, 87, details how he pitched Trump on a federal film tax credit — and watched him back it on the spot Wed Sep 16 19:52:19 2026

Academy Award winner Jon Voight says he personally persuaded President Trump to support a federal film and television tax credit during a late August meeting, a push that has since triggered a lobbying campaign to bring runaway production back to American soil. Voight, 87, sat down with Trump alongside his manager Steven Paul and associate Scott Karol to make the case that the American film industry, once the envy of the world, is hemorrhaging jobs overseas because foreign countries offer better financial incentives. By the time the meeting ended, Trump had dictated a Truth Social post backing the policy while the three men watched. Rep. Brian Jack, a Georgia Republican, credited Voight directly at a press conference held in support of the…Open

AMERICANALMANAC (Alex Tanzer) - Trump celebrates White House renovations, calls building a 'dump' under past presidents Mon Sep 14 19:14:57 2026

President Trump took to Truth Social over the weekend to praise sweeping renovations to the White House and blast his predecessors for letting the 232-year-old building fall into disrepair, a claim that arrives alongside ballooning cost estimates and a political fight over who foots the bill. In a Sunday post, Trump shared photos of a restored column and declared the executive mansion "in better shape than when built in 1792," while calling the condition he inherited "very bad" and the building itself, in his word, a "dump." He credited the Department of the Interior, led by Secretary Doug Burgum, and unnamed contractors for what he described as a "fantastic job," the New York Post reported . The posts cap a stretch of ambitious…Open

AMERICANALMANAC (Alex Tanzer) - Trump signals willingness to declassify 9/11 records tied to Saudi Arabia Mon Sep 14 17:43:20 2026

President Trump told reporters he will look into releasing classified records that could shed light on Saudi Arabia's alleged role in the September 11 attacks, a move families of the nearly 3,000 victims have sought from three successive administrations. Trump made the commitment Sunday before boarding Air Force One in Ireland, where he had spent the weekend. The remark came two days after victims' relatives renewed their push for transparency at the 25th-anniversary remembrance ceremony in New York City, directly asking the president to open files that remain sealed a quarter-century after the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil. "I'm going to look at it when I get back," Trump told the Associated Press . "I know they asked me…Open

Millions of Americans face triple-digit heat from Dallas to St. Louis this week even as a cold Canadian air mass threatens the first freeze of the season across New England, a split-screen forecast that caps the hottest summer ever recorded in the Lower 48.
