The Senate returns from the July 4 recess to a transformed landscape: South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham has died at 71, a loss NPR's Claudia Rosales says will make 'a difficult season for the Senate even harder.' Graham chaired the Senate budget committee, and his absence throws Republican plans for a partisan spending bill into disarray — without a committee chair to drive the process, senators face an urgent scramble to recalibrate. South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster has called on Graham's sister Darlene to fill out the remainder of his term through January, with her swearing-in expected Tuesday afternoon. [1] — Claudia Rosales "Senator Lindsey Graham's death at 71 leaves the Senate without its budget committee chair at a pivotal moment. Without him, Republican plan…" 01:36
The Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool is being drained again after algae turned the water green and the blue lining began peeling off after a spring resurfacing.
The Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, repainted 'American flag blue' this spring, is being drained for the second time after algae turned the water green and the blue lining started peeling. The Trump administration is rehiring the same contractor — despite the failed first attempt.

The simplest customer acquisition funnel: write content every day, send that audience to a waitlist landing page, and collect emails. Those subscribers already trust you and know the pain they want solved — that's why they become your first 100 customers.
Content before code. A $42K/month founder lays out the full playbook: push content for 14 days, mine audience pain points, build a product for the biggest one, launch to that core group, then double down on what works. Audience validation is the unfair advantage most founders skip.
Most founders build first and market later. This founder flips it: 14 days of content to warm up the audience and surface the real pain points before a single line of code is written. The result is a ready-made group of users waiting on launch day.
The temptation is to build a feature-rich product. This founder's answer is the opposite: pick the single biggest pain point from your audience and build a product that solves only that. Focus is the feature.
There's no need to launch to the world on day one. The founder pushes the product directly to the core group that originally provided the pain-point validation — they already want the solution. That's how the first users become paying customers without a single cold acquisition.
After the initial launch, growth comes from a simple loop: find which content resonates, double down on it, and use it to attract more people just like your core audience. It's not complex — it's consistent.
Perfecting a product for months guarantees nothing. The Starter Story founder pressed publish on his meticulously crafted site and watched zero users arrive — the brutal lesson every founder needs to hear.
The world's best companies didn't buy their first customers — they went to where those customers already were and created content for them. Free channels like Reddit aren't a hack; they're the actual strategy.
A single link post on Reddit drove 100 visitors to Starter Story in minutes. Then the moderators deleted it. That deletion became the catalyst for a far smarter strategy.
