Good morning, Meigs County. Eagle season is coming — and the Eastern football program is already generating buzz before a single snap has been taken. Preseason optimism hits different when your team actually backs it up, and Meigs County sports fans might want to start clearing their Friday nights now.
Beyond the gridiron, the national headlines are keeping things lively: jobless claims dipped again in what economists keep calling a "slow-hire, slow-fire" labor market, U.S.-Iran tensions are reshaping the Middle East chess board, and Washington is pouring new money into countering China's global reach. The Fifth Amendment is also having a bit of a cultural moment — "pleading the Fifth" is back in the conversation in a big way. Fresh local real estate listings are waiting inside whenever you're ready.
