On Sep. 4, North Carolina begins sending out absentee ballots for the midterms, the first to do so amid efforts by the Trump administration to restrict mail-in voting. All U.S. states permit mail-in voting, but only 37 allow such under any circumstances. Eight of those vote entirely by mail.

The Trump administration has unveiled a new program that slaps a fee of over $103,000 to applicants of H-1B work visas. The new plan follows an original scheme, released last year but blocked by courts, that charged $100,000 for H-1B visas. Already, H-1B visa approvals have dropped under Trump.

Trump Drops Demand for Cash From Harvard After Stiff Resistance
By Michael C. Bender, Michael S. Schmidt and Alan Blinder
(New York Times) -- The Trump administration has lowered the bar for a deal with the university, backtracking on its insistence on a $200 million payment to the government, The New York Times has learned.
President Trump has backtracked on a major point in negotiations with Harvard, dropping his administration’s demand for a $200 million payment to the government in hopes of finally resolving the administration’s conflicts with the university, according to four people briefed on the matter.
Harvard has been the top target in Mr. Trump’s weeping campaign to exert more control over higher education. Hard-liners in his administration had wanted Harvard to write a check to the U.S. Treasury as part of a deal to address claims that university officials mishandled antisemitism, The New York Times previously reported. But Harvard, wary of backlash from liberal students and faculty, has rejected the idea.
Trump administration officials have indicated in recent days that the president no longer expects such a payment, according to the Harvard and Trump officials briefed on the matter, speaking on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations.
