Tennessee Voters - 2026 Governor Election Issues

Looking to interview Tennessee voters about the 2026 governor’s election Hello, I’m a student journalist at the University of Tennessee working on a story about the issues that matter most to Tennessee voters heading into the 2026 governor’s election. I’m looking to speak with Tennessee residents about the issues influencing their perspectives and decisions on the upcoming election, whether that’s education, cost of living, healthcare, immigration, economic growth, or something else entirely.

Hard of Hearing Boulder Residents - Quiet Hours Restaurant Picks

There are plenty of Happy Hours at Boulder restaurants. What I need are Quiet Hours when I can eat a great meal and talk to the folks at my table. I don't need it dead quiet, but I won't dine at intentionally loud restaurants with pounding music even if they have Michelin/James Beard honors. Like thousands of people, I have significant hearing challenges. I'm writing a column about the situation - please recommend the local eateries where you can have a conversation with fewer "HUH?"s Historic note: When I was a Denver dining critic I reduced the letter grade for several bistros because they were so !@#$%^ LOUD #bouldercolorado #kgnu #bouldercounty #boulderrestaurants

Looking for student loan experiences Hi folks, I’m a journalist looking to hear from people who got caught off guard in the last year or so by student loans going into delinquency or default — Experts tell me there were sad stories of people with dinged credit scores before they even realized.

Former Treasury Officials & Crypto Execs - GENIUS Act Stablecoin Yield

Banks Lose Stablecoin Yield Fight as OCC Final GENIUS Act Rule Keeps Crypto Rewards Alive The OCC's 721-page GENIUS Act rule went final on October 21, and banks did not get the limit on stablecoin rewards they asked for. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency kept one ban in place. Platforms such as Coinbase and Kraken can't pay you just for holding, using or keeping a stablecoin, Roll Call reported. Every other reward will be judged case by case. The draft rule had treated these deals as illegal unless the industry proved otherwise, and the final rule dropped that test. The two sides read it very differently: 1. American Bankers Association CEO Rob Nichols said the rule "will preserve the status quo for crypto platforms despite Congress's clear intent to protect local lending." 2. Blockchain Association chief policy officer Lindsay Fraser said, "We are especially grateful that the OCC listened to the industry." Banks care because they fund local loans with deposits, and they fear savers will move that money into stablecoins that pay rewards. The banks' next move is the Senate. The Clarity Act would let regulators stop yield payments if banks with under $10 billion in assets lose enough deposits to cause them serious harm. The rule takes effect on January 18, 2027. If an exchange paid you more on USDC than your bank pays on savings, would you move your savings out of the bank? I'd like to hear from Faryar Shirzad, Rebeca Romero Rainey, Simon Taylor and Austin Campbell. #Stablecoins #GENIUSAct #Fintech #Banking

Young American Jews 18-25 - Birthright With Conflicted Feelings

Did you go on Birthright with mixed feelings? I'd love to hear your story Hey everyone, I'm a journalist based in NYC, working on a story about Birthright Israel and how young American Jews are navigating their relationship with Israel since October 7 and the war in Gaza. I'm particularly interested in speaking with someone in their late teens or early 20s who is planning to go on Birthright or has recently returned, especially if they have conflicted feelings about Israel. Maybe you feel connected to Israel but disagree with the government or its actions in Gaza. Maybe the war has made you question whether to visit at all. Or maybe you went on Birthright with doubts and came back with a completely different perspective, whether more positive, more critical, or somewhere in between. I'd love to understand what motivated you to go, how you felt beforehand, and whether the experience changed your views about Israel, the war or your Jewish identity. If this sounds like you, or you know someone with a similar experience, please comment or DM me! Happy to explain more about the story. Thank you!

Immigration & Asylum Lawyers - Migration Asylum & Human Rights Podcast

We’ve finally launched THRE Podcast. In 2026, with feeds dominated by short videos and fast takes, it may not seem like the obvious choice. But that is also why we felt a longer format was needed. Human rights and migration rarely fit into a headline or a Reel. They need time: for people to speak openly, for difficult questions to be asked, and for important details not to disappear. For the first episode, Ryan Cappa joined me from Boston for a conversation about what America’s immigration crackdown looks like from inside the country — and how different that reality can be from the view abroad. Getting here took time. The first episode is not perfect. But it is lively, honest, and something our team is proud to have started. We want to make something interesting and useful — and we want to make it with you. If you are an immigration or asylum lawyer in the UK, the US or elsewhere and would like to join a future conversation, please message me. And if someone comes to mind, tag them below. THRE will not be limited to one country or one format. We want to speak with lawyers and experts from different places about migration, asylum, protests and other issues affecting human rights — through both longer conversations and shorter videos. The first episode is in the comments. #HumanRights #ImmigrationLaw #THREPodcast
