So wie es gerade aussieht, hat ein 83-Jähriger Bernie Sanders (einmal mehr) die beste Antwort auf das Problem, das Trump erst möglich machte: Die Ungleichheit des entfesselten Kapitalismus.

In America today, working class people live, on average, 7 years shorter lives than the wealthy. Stress kills.

In Altoona, Wisconsin this weekend I asked people how economic stress impacted their lives.

The responses I got were painful, but not surprising.

The @USUN building - across the road from UN in NYC - is on list of US govt buildings identified as "not core to government operations, or non-core properties for disposal."

@realDonaldTrump @EliseStefanik - what does this mean for US engagement at UN?

My great colleague @IbtisamAzem made it to the booker prize long list. Congrats Ibtisam, that’s amazing!

@NabilAbiSaab I hear some say they doubt the US has 9 votes in favour. But it’ll close for sure

UN expert take: This is going to be a shitshow.

@frankrunyeon @Law360 Good luck. Hope the internet stays stable this time ;)

@patrickdehahn I disagree a little. The orange yellow seat plan was always flawed - leaving no space for the knees of the person sitting at the window.

If you lived in Syria, you would know this is such an incredible moment. Try to think of Syrians as human beings, instead of geopolitics, just for a second. Imagine how people are feeling as their disappeared loved ones are being found in prisons, alive.

Ein halbes Jahrhundert brutaler Herrschaft der Assads ist vorbei. Als 20jähriger habe ich unter Vater Hafez in Damaskus studiert und die Angst der Menschen vor dem Regime erlebt. Heute, mit 61 Jahren, erlebe ich das Ende des Sohnes Baschar. Ich wünsche den Syrern eine bessere 👇🏼

Response to my question for @USAmbUN 👇

[Laura Rozen @lrozen]

US UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, at press conference opening her final US presidency of the UN Security Council: “Yes, I have some regrets. You know, as we look back on the world that we have the responsibility to bring peace and security, and as I walk out the door, there is conflict going on all around the world: Sudan, DRC, Gaza, Syria. People are suffering. Millions of people are still displaced. Millions of people are still suffering. So I do regret that, and wish that I could have waved a magic wand to bring peace on earth and goodwill to man everywhere.”

[Michael Adams, KY Secretary of State @KYSecState]

There is no “vote-switching”. The voter confirmed that her ballot was correctly printed as marked for the candidate of her choice. Get your voting information from legitimate sources, not TikTok or cat turds.
