Twenty states and Puerto Rico now offer digital driver’s licenses that you can store on your phone. These digital IDs let you prove your identity by tapping your phone or showing a QR code, which can protect more of your personal information than a plastic ID. However, some people are worried about privacy, especially if governments could track where you use your digital ID.

Twenty states plus Puerto Rico offer mobile driver’s licenses (mDL).
You can add the digital ID to your phone’s mobile wallet or a state app.
Over 250 U.S. airports accept mobile driver’s licenses for domestic flights.

Phones can use security features like facial ID or fingerprints to protect the digital ID.

Privacy advocates worry that digital IDs could allow governments to track users.

A former Wisconsin judge, Hannah Dugan, was fined $5,000 but will not go to prison for helping a man avoid arrest by immigration agents in 2025. A federal judge considered her long public service and decided not to sentence her to prison despite her conviction for obstructing a federal proceeding.

In 2025, she helped Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, who was facing arrest by ICE, avoid immediate capture in her courtroom.

A new Australian study found that the MenB vaccine does not reduce gonorrhoea infections in men who have sex with men. This challenges earlier reports suggesting the vaccine might offer protection, and UK health officials say they will continue to study the vaccine’s effects before making any changes.
Key Facts
The MenB vaccine was originally made to prevent meningitis B in babies.
Gonorrhoea is a common bacterial infection spread through sexual contact.
The UK began offering the MenB vaccine to men who have sex with men in 2025, hoping to reduce gonorrhoea cases.
The Australian study, called GoGoVax, tracked 587 men for two years, giving half the vaccine and half a placebo.
The study saw nearly the same number of gonorrhoea infections in both groups (291 vaccinated, 285 placebo).
Other studies support these results, showing the MenB vaccine does not prevent gonorrhoea.
Gonorrhoea rates remain high in England, with men who have sex with men being the most affected group.
Health experts stress that condoms and regular testing are still the best ways to prevent gonorrhoea.
