Your support helps us to tell the story
My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.
Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.
Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

Apple just held its biggest event of the year. And it launched its biggest product of the year, the iPhone 8 – before going ahead and announcing an even bigger one, the iPhone X.
There was actually three phones: the cheaper iPhone 8, and the premium and more expensive X.

And the third use of the camera (after photo and video): augmented reality. It is specially built to be able to do motion tracking and other things that are required for doing AR properly.
Here's an example from the MLB app. You can hold up your phone and it will know where players are – and give you information about each of them.
