(John M. Bridgeland) - On September 11, America marks the 25th anniversary of the day 19 terrorists hijacked four airliners and turned them into weapons against our country. It was among the darkest days in our history. Yet from that darkness came a remarkable display of light. As Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, I was meeting with EPA Administrator Christie Todd Whitman when word came that a plane had struck the World Trade Center.

(The Center Square) – Republicans from across the country are convening in Dallas Wednesday and Thursday in a first midterm 2026 Republican Convention as some Republicans in Texas, and nationwide, are trailing in the polls. The convention begins as Gov. Greg Abbott launched his first attack ad against Democratic opponent state Rep. Gina Hinojosa over her support for gender policies. It’s also opening after U.S. Senate candidate state Rep.

(The Center Square) – The list of Wisconsin communities that are changing their minds about Flock cameras continues to grow. City leaders in Menasha on Tuesday voted to end their contract with Flock when city council members voted 7-3 to stop paying for the cameras. Menasha Police Chief Matthew Albrecht told city leaders that he can no longer trust what Flock is sharing.

Every September, perfectly reasonable adults start emptying closets and scrubbing baseboards like Thanksgiving guests just confirmed they are coming early. Millions of households catch the same cleaning fever as fall settles in, driven by a combination of brain science, worsening indoor air and a younger generation that cleans nothing like their parents did. The most surprising part is that the motivation comes with a built-in expiration date.

The pumpkin beer aisle used to be one of the easiest sections in the bottle shop to navigate. Every can looked roughly the same, every sip carried the same cinnamon-nutmeg-allspice blueprint and every fall the only real question was which amber ale a drinker preferred. That aisle looks considerably more varied this September, and the options waiting on the shelf have very little in common with each other.

For the 25th Anniversary of 9/11, Nonstop Local spoke with several service members who were at the Pentagon that fateful day or were deployed to help during the aftermath. These are their stories. At 8:20 a.m. on September 11, 2001, American Airlines Flight 77 took off from Dulles International Airport, outside of Washington, DC, headed for Los Angeles. There were 53 passengers, 6 crew members, and 5 hijackers on board.

(The Center Square) — Democrat Stephany Shaheen will square off against Trump-endorsed Republican Anthony DiLorenzo in the November elections after winning the party's nomination to run for New Hampshire's wide-open 1st Congressional District seat. Shaheen, the daughter of outgoing U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, edged out former Obama administration official Maura Sullivan in Tuesday's Democratic primary, according to an unofficial tally by the Associated Press.

Three high-visitation national parks dropped the reservation systems that kept summer visitors in a booking-window lottery for years, and the timing could not be better. September’s post-Labor Day weeks bring a steep crowd drop while many major roads, trails and visitor facilities across the park system remain open, though seasonal and weather-related closures vary by park. The month delivers a version of these places that only exists in this narrow window, before the calendar closes it again.

This incident started when emergency crews responded late on July 27 to a private home in Park County after reports of an accidental poisoning. State officials reported ten adults and one minor were taken by ground and air ambulance to several Montana hospitals. All 11 people were visiting from outside the local area.

(The Center Square) – A coalition of election integrity groups filed an amicus brief in support of plaintiffs in RNC v. Mi Familia Vota, with the groups urging the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold the state of Arizona’s voter citizenship verification and overturn a Ninth Circuit ruling that barred Arizona’s proof of citizenship requirement and invalidated its work to remove noncitizens from the voter roll.
