🌅 Good morning, RootBadger. Monday starts with a new detail about a proposed Washington landmark, plus a quick check for anyone considering international travel.
🗞️ Reuters morning read: President Donald Trump said the planned 250-foot triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery would also serve as a military complex housing drones and snipers. Reuters reports that the White House and Defense Department did not immediately comment. The proposal has not received final approval from a federal planning authority, and a judge has required advance notice before most work begins at the site.

🛂 Useful this morning: If international travel may be on your calendar, check your passport now rather than when fares look good. USPS says first-time applicants and minors can schedule an appointment at a participating Post Office; eligible adults must renew by mail or online instead of making an in-person renewal appointment. The official page links to requirements, forms, photo guidance, and appointment scheduling.
