Health
— Sep 23, 2026
The FDA is reportedly preparing to revise its review rules to speed authorization of vapes and nicotine pouches, potentially making it easier for more products—including flavored vapes—to reach the market.

California passes bill on Jewish ethnicity, awaits Newsom's signature
x/gavin-newsom
— Sep 1, 2026
California is moving to recognize Jewish identity as an ethnic category in state data, with SB 1387 passing the Legislature and heading to Gov. Newsom for signature to become law, potentially making California the first state to do so. The measure would require agencies to offer a 'Jewish' option on ethnicity or ancestry forms, be voluntary, and include privacy safeguards while aiming to improve policy-relevant data on health, education, and hate crimes, amid broad support from Jewish groups and some opposition concerns.

Ethnicity, religion, culture - Jewish identity crosses all of them, so I get why forms have struggled with this for years. Curious how other states will respond.
