It’s Tuesday, the traditional day for elections and for our pause-and-consider newsletter on politics and policy. We think of it as a mini-magazine in your inbox.

This Independence Day, we’re taking a break from our regularly scheduled programming and doing a reset for the weeks ahead.

Don’t worry: You can still bring our trivia along for a patriotic barbecue brain-bender. And don’t forget! If you have a question or something you’d like us to cover, you can always drop us a line at [email protected]. (mailto:[email protected])

The Liberty Bell, the American icon widely known for its distinctive crack, lives in Independence Hall in Philadelphia. There are a few noteworthy facts about the bell, such as there’s no clear idea on when the bell first cracked ([link removed]) — although there are some thoughts on how it happened ([link removed]) . And there doesn’t appear to be evidence ([link removed]) that the bell actually rang on July 4, 1776.

The more than 2,000-pound bell was also originally known as something else.

Our question: What was the original name of the Liberty Bell?

Send your answers to [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) or tweet using #PoliticsTrivia. The first correct answers will earn a shout-out next week.

Last week, we asked: Which child of a former U.S. president was once sued for conflict-of-interest issues by federal regulators, effectively ending their hopes of a political career?

The answer: Neil Bush ([link removed]) . In 1990, The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) sued the third-eldest son of former President George H.W. Bush, among others, for violating conflicts-of-interest regulations.

Congratulations to our winners: Robert Schmid and Susan Kupsky!

Thank you all for reading and watching. We’ll drop into your inbox next week.
