What's got people saying 'ready, set, vote'... Primary elections. Today, voters in Florida, New York, and Oklahoma are casting their ballots. In the Empire State, voters will choose nominees for US House seats. A big one that everyone's watching: The 12th District. That's where two longtime House Democrats are competing for the same seat (thanks redistricting). NY is also feeling extra special with not one but two special elections taking place. But wait, there's more: Floridians will choose between two Dems to take on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) in November — ahead of his expected 2024 presidential run. And in Oklahoma, there are GOP and Democratic primary runoffs for the US Senate.

Who's saying 'not so fast'... Former President Trump. Yesterday, he filed a lawsuit calling on the Justice Dept to stop combing through documents they seized at Mar-a-Lago. Reminder: The FBI removed 11 sets of classified docs from Trump's residence. And opened an investigation into potential violations of the Espionage Act. Now, Trump wants a federal judge to appoint a special master (aka a third party) to do their own review in case the docs aren't admissible in court. The DOJ said it's aware of the lawsuit and will file a response. It all comes as a new report revealed that the gov's recovered more than 300 classified docs from Trump since he left office.
Who's ready for a new chapter… Dr. Anthony Fauci. Yesterday, he said he's stepping down from his government posts in December. Including as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and President Biden's top medical adviser. Fauci has spent more than five decades working for the gov and advised seven presidents. He's been celebrated for his work on HIV, AIDS, and COVID-19. But his work during the pandemic hasn't gone without criticism (think: for lockdowns and masking guidelines). Now, Fauci's ready to "inspire and mentor the next generation of scientific leaders." Biden thanked Fauci for helping America become "stronger, more resilient, and healthier."
What's getting a boost… Memories. Yesterday, a new study revealed that sending weak electrical currents to the brain can improve older adults' memories. Research is in the early stages, but results showed the boost lasted a month. And that there were no serious side effects. Now, scientists hope the tech can one day help people at risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
