OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Cherokee Nation's Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. won reelection to another four-year term as leader of the nation's most populous tribe, according to results certified Monday by the tribe's Election Commission. Hoskin, a 48-yearold attorney, won nearly 63% of the vote in the four-way race for chief, a position similar to the governor of a state.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a good month, Celina Chanthanouvong has about $200 left after rent, groceries and car insurance. That doesn't factor in her student loans, which have been on hold since the start of the pandemic and are estimated to cost $300 a month.

DO JUST ONE THING

While the pre-measured 'pods' for laundry and dishwasher detergents may be convenient, they are wrapped in a plastic called polyvinyl alcohol, or PVOH; it's a plastic that is designed to 'dissolve' in contact with water, but rather than fully dissolving, it goes into the waterway and becomes a microplastic. The best course is to stick with old-fashioned detergents in powdered form for laundry or look for tablets that aren't wrapped in plastic for your dishwasher.
