First time reading? American Fact of the Day! On this day in 1867, the United States formally took possession of Alaska from Russia, a transaction often referred to as "Seward's Folly" after Secretary of State William H. Seward, who orchestrated the deal. The U.S. purchased Alaska for $7.2 million, which amounted to about two cents per acre.

Breaking Updates Delphi murders trial: What we know about Richard Allen and the teens he's accused of killing Seven years after the tragic discovery of two teenage girls’ bodies near a hiking trail in Delphi, Indiana, the case remains a focal point of public interest. Liberty German, 14, and Abigail Williams, 13, were last seen on February 13, 2017, and their bodies were found the next day, revealing they had been fatally stabbed. Richard Allen, a former pharmacy employee, has been charged with their murders, and his trial is currently underway. Authorities allege that an unspent round from a gun owned by Allen was found near the crime scene, linking him to the incident. Allen, who reportedly confessed to the killings in conversations with prison staff and inmates, has pleaded not guilty, with his defense team proposing a theory of ritual sacrifice tied to a pagan Norse religion known as Odinism. The investigation into the murders initially yielded few leads, with authorities highlighting the importance of community involvement in identifying the suspect. Allen was identified as a potential suspect after being seen in a Snapchat video near the crime scene. His defense has raised questions about mental health issues and has dismissed the notion that he is connected to any cult activities, describing the Odinism theory as a baseless distraction. Despite these claims, prosecutors have maintained their focus on Allen, asserting that the evidence against him is substantial, while the defense continues to seek to introduce alternative explanations for the tragic deaths of the two girls.

Among the invalidated rules are those requiring hand-counting of ballots and specific certification processes for election results. RNC Chairman Michael Whatley criticized the ruling, framing it as judicial activism that undermines election integrity, while the Georgia Republican Party filed an emergency appeal to the state’s Supreme Court Democrats and voting rights advocates celebrated the ruling, expressing concerns that the recently enacted rules could facilitate attempts to challenge election results, particularly if Donald Trump were to lose in the upcoming presidential election. The ruling highlights a contentious environment surrounding election regulations, especially with new rules being implemented close to Election Day. The overturned rules also included requirements for absentee ballot deliveries, surveillance of drop boxes, and updates on early voting counts, raising alarms among county election officials about the feasibility of complying with these changes on short notice.
