Ryan Swingle (51) and Amy Martin (51) Location: Athens, Georgia Voting for: Harris Swingle: I am disturbed by what I consider the casualness with which he lies. I'm disturbed by the ways in which he seems to fawn over and support really awful regimes. I think we're on the cusp of a new and fundamentally different world with AI, and I want somebody smarter and more humble at the wheel when that happens."
Martin: "I just think he's a horrible human being, and I cannot vote for that. On abortion, I don't think it was right. What he did was horrible. We shouldn't be going back in time."
Felix Garcia (59) Location: Allentown, Pennsylvania Voting for: Trump "I decided to vote for him because I'm very concerned with the economy, the border. He said he can bring the companies to implement the jobs over here. I don't like the things they're teaching my kids in the school. A lot of bad things. Trump didn't say [the racist comments about Puerto Rico at his Madison Square Garden rally]. It's not coming from him. He came to work for all America, not only Puerto Ricans. Not only black guys. All of them. And I'm happy with that."
Autumn Rae Garcia (26) Location: Decatur, Georgia. Voting for: Harris "I'm really left and so for me a Democrat is like a glorified Republican. I, at first, was really uncomfortable with the idea voting for Harris and Trump, but at the end of the day, I will not be a person that won't vote. Then I have no right to complain. When Harris started talking about certain policies that I really back up domestically, I appreciated that. The tax breaks for people making under $400,000 (£300,000): that's huge. I'm gonna be honest. If Trump was coming up with actual policies instead of just the bull crap that comes out of his mouth, we would probably be having a different conversation."

We're like snipers' Lethal and cheap, drones dominate the frontline now
Denys, a soldier with Ukraine's Khyzhak brigade, describes a new kind of war. Standing in a barracks workshop with piles of basic Ukrainian first-person view (FPV) drones behind him, he says: \"There are fewer gunfights because there are more drone fights.\" Frontlines that were once a gunshot apart are now a killing zone several miles deep as Russian and Ukrainian drone squads hidden behind the frontlines target each other's forces with aerial attacks. \"Back in 2022, we were still running around with machine guns from the tree lines,\" Denys says, almost with nostalgia.
