Eating well is easy. But doing it every day? That’s the hard part.

If you have a health goal, you’ve likely already done your homework. You count macros, stick to organic produce, and always aim to hit 10,000 steps a day.

But between work and life and the fact that cooking takes too much time—getting the nutrition you need doesn’t always happen. That’s what CookUnity is for. The first meal delivery led by world-class chefs that connects you with real, nourishing meals from Michelin-starred masters and Food Network stars.

Every week at CookUnity, you can pick from over 400 meals, and 60 global cuisines and lifestyle diets including Fitness Fuel, Protein Boost, GLP-1 Balance, Mediterranean, Thai, and way more. Plus, these pro chefs source their own ingredients and handcraft your dishes locally so they’re delivered fresh, and ready to reheat in just minutes.

Weekly menus vary by market, but that’s the fun part of trying meals from the best culinary talent near you.

Getting hungry? Good news, take 50% off your first week. Enter your zip code, choose how many weekly meals you would like to receive, create an account, choose your dishes, and set your delivery address. You can skip, pause, or change the plan size anytime.

WHAT WE'RE WATCHING

🕌 CAIR forces Maryland school board member to be re-educated. Baltimore County Board of Education member Maggie Litz Domanowski removed a cartoon she posted online suggesting MAGA fears about women’s rights pale in comparison to Sharia law. Within days, the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ director demanded Domanowski apologize at a packed board meeting and agree to visit a mosque for re-education.

💥 El-Sayed apologizes for synagogue attack comments. Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed apologized to Jewish Democrats for linking a March synagogue attack in Detroit to Israeli airstrikes, saying his comments “may have been misconstrued.” El-Sayed had previously noted the attacker lost family in Lebanon days before the shooting, prompting criticism that he was justifying the violence.

📋 Leftist job board caught hiring illegal aliens. A California-based platform called Undocuprofessionals has operated since 2020 as a LinkedIn for illegal aliens, connecting them with paid positions. The site advertises roles ranging from Democrat campaign door-knockers paid $25–$40 per hour to delivery drivers, explicitly stating it serves “undocumented individuals.”

🚗 DOT shut down nearly 300 driving schools over failed English proficiency tests. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced an emergency shutdown of close to 300 driving schools that issued commercial driver’s licenses to more than 5,000 individuals who failed English proficiency tests.

CORRECTION

Yesterday we reported that Marine Le Pen was leading the polling for French Prime Minister, but the position is actually for President. Most EU countries put their top leader in the Prime Minister's seat, but of course France has to do things differently.

Your Notion Workspace Is a Product — Start Treating It Like One

Early-stage teams move fast, but their internal systems often struggle to keep up. As documentation, meeting notes, roadmaps, and customer insights spread across different tools, even small inefficiencies can slow execution.

The best founders treat their workspace like a product—building it with clear structure, shared templates, consistent organization, and simple onboarding. That means work is easier to find, decisions are easier to track, and priorities stay aligned. Build a clean, scalable workspace early, and you’ll spend less time searching for context and more time growing your business.
