It’s the corruption, stupid. Favorite book: “The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark,” by Carl Sagan

@Chris_arnade Until we get serious about campaign finance reform, politicians will continue to represent their big donors instead of their constituents, and the poor will suffer the most. That leaves to door wide open for demagogues like Trump.

Kherson realities after the flood caused by the destruction of Kakhovka HPP.

If Russia is serious about peace they need to make territorial concessions to Wagner to end the war now

Who did this

[Darrel Rowland @darreldrowland]

Just like that - with no testimony allowed - Ohio House OKs measure to raise minimum required to pass citizen initiatives on statewide ballot to 60%
Plus other voting restrictions in separate bill...
Votes are 7-5 along string party lines

Tragedy unfolding on Keystone Pipeline near the Nebraska/Kansas border. What @TCEnergy will not admit is that they cannot “clean” this up. They will scrape the vegetation and topsoil, treat it, and haul to a landfill. Riparian (stream) damage for decade+.

Far too often, we don't notice big changes because they are broad & gradual. Foreigners usually fail to miss how Ukraine has changed since the Revolution of Dignity in 2014. To me, Ukraine's recent evolution seems so similar to Poland's in the 1980s.

A reminder: America has no higher minimum wage, no extended child tax credits, and no voting rights protections because of Kyrsten Sinema.

[Jared Yates Sexton @JYSexton]

Sinema should just go for it and sell her party affiliation out to the highest bidder. Start wearing NASCAR-style suits covered in her corporate and dark money donors.

“.. Out of all the people whose work required them to witness executions in Virginia, Nevada, Florida, California, Ohio, South Carolina, Arizona, Nebraska, Texas, Alabama, Oregon, South Dakota and Indiana, none told me they still support the death penalty today.”

“We all really understand that Russia is really trying to cause dissension,” Paul Whelan’s sister Elizabeth said in a brief interview. “This is Russia not engaging on Paul and only engaging on Brittney on purpose.”

[Nicholas Grossman @NGrossman81]

The degree to which prominent parts of Ronald Reagan's party have become supporters of Russian military aggression—and not just as a matter of opinion, but actively working to get Americans to favor Russia in a war against a US-friendly European democracy—is remarkable. And bad.

[Benjamin Pope @fringetracker]

this is why US companies want healthcare to be tied to employment: you can use it for strikebreaking

[Jane Mayer @JaneMayerNYer]

Lawmakers have just added a provision to the National Defense Authorization Act protecting Supreme Court spouses from having to reveal any outside employer, in the name of security. If it passes, Ginni Thomas’s professional entanglements would effectively be state secrets.

[Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe]

I would just like to remind everyone that when Matt Taibbi was based in Moscow, he ran a magazine called "The Exile," where he and its co-founder wrote that Russian women liked to be raped.

Unwed tourists who travel to Bali or other Indonesian destinations now risk prosecution for having sex outside of marriage. That can't be good for the tourist industry. That's what happens when religious extremists exert too much influence over government. https://t.co/CtvBGgx101

It's true -- Hannity hosted the GOP nominees in eight key Senate races at least 31 times from September 6 through October 31 https://t.co/bX83NAcUJX
