Tropical Storm Erin is expected to pick up strength over the next couple of days, becoming a full-fledged hurricane, the National Hurricane Center said. In a Tuesday morning advisory, the hurricane center said Erin was located about 690 miles west of the Cabo Verde Islands with maximum sustained winds near 45 mph. Forecasters said Erin is moving west at 22 mph, and this motion is expected to continue for the next several days. But where will it hit? Truth is, it's too early to know what impact Erin could have on the Caribbean or the eastern United States. 🌧️ See the likely path the storm could take. |
Is a marijuana policy shift on the schedule? |
In the coming weeks, marijuana could be considered a less dangerous drug, at least as far as the federal government is concerned. President Donald Trump on Monday said the government is considering reclassifying marijuana, which would remove it from the list of the most dangerous and addictive substances. Moves to reschedule the drug − which would not make it legal under federal law − began during the Biden administration. Experts say the change could be good for research and medicine, but could also be perceived as a "safety endorsement" at a time when rates of heavy cannabis use are climbing. 👉 What to know about the proposed change. | President Donald Trump speaks to the press in the Press Briefing Room at the White House on Aug. 11.

Summer is coming to an end, and it's back-to-school time for many families. But for Jennifer Lilintahl, who decided to delay her daughter's entry into kindergarten last year, it's been a challenge. When Lilintahl tried to enroll her 6-year-old daughter in kindergarten, DC Public Schools officials said she'd have to enter first grade due to her age. Delaying kindergarten for one year, a process known as "redshirting," is one of the latest issues for the growing parents' rights movement, which has been dominated by public school parents who want more control over what their children learn and where they go to school. Some argue their kids need an additional year in prekindergarten. But others say it creates an unfair advantage over those who don't have the resources to delay schooling. 👉 See where 'redshirting' is allowed. | Kindergarten students get to work or play in teacher Kelly Callahan's classroom in Carrcroft Elementary School in Wilmington, Delaware, on March 6.
