US-specific news, no politics

Rules:

No politics. Nothing about governments, parties, or politicians. I love politics but this is not a politics community, there are plenty of those. [email protected] is recommended.
Reliable sources only.
Articles are good. Self-posts or blog posts by professionals or journalists are fine. Memes or random blogs, no.
Post title must match the headline. Edits for clarity are fine.
Don't be a jerk.
No racism, no bigotry, no spam.
Be productive.
