U.S. adults spend 10 hours and 24 minutes per day connected to media, according to Nielsen's latest Total Audience Report.
Details: What's more shocking than the crazy amount of time we spend consuming content is the amount that older people consume compared to younger generations. While adults aged 50–64 spend more time per day on media than any other age group, adults aged 18–34 spend more time on digital than TV and TV-connected devices.

For decades, the share of Americans moving to new cities has been falling. The pandemic-induced rise of telework is turning that trend around.

Wisconsin Democrats and the Democratic attorney general of Michigan are urging voters to return absentee ballots to election clerks’ offices or drop boxes, warning that the USPS may not be able to deliver ballots by the Election Day deadline.
Driving the news: The Supreme Court rejected an effort by Wisconsin Democrats and civil rights groups to extend the state's deadline for counting absentee ballots to six days after Election Day, as long as they were postmarked by Nov. 3. In Michigan, absentee ballots must also be received by 8 p.m. on Election Day in order to be counted.
