Maine Senator Susan Collins says she will vote ‘no’ to confirming Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, since it’s too close to the election, while refusing to say anything critical about how Barrett’s originalist judicial philosophy might imperil a woman’s right to choose. Collins is a Republican who supports abortion rights, a brand that has carried her to victory four times, but with Barrett’s confirmation […]

Observable disassociation from reality VT: Where does one start? First of all, the House is obligated to do this. Nobody can serve as president while on heavy steroids. Normal people go nuts on dexa and Trump is well below normal unless you believe his followers are normal also…and most Americans don’t. Trump now blames “veterans” for giving him COVID…one more betrayal since his “losers and suckers” […]
There’s plenty of reasons to worry in Wisconsin these days. While the crucial swing state maintains its standing as a national hotspot for the coronavirus and spiking cases and hospitalizations have alarmed health experts and local officials, Republicans there are continuing to attack Democratic Gov. Tony Evers over the emergency authority he’s relying on to try and combat the virus. “I don’t care if (the governor’s) […]

A Chinese video site copycat raised $2.1 million via an initial exchange offering in August 2019 – but it appears this last resort wasn’t enough to save the company from falling apart. On Sept. 24, the Shanghai Yangpu District Court disclosed an Aug. 31 ruling that video streaming company Dilidili has infringed the trademark of Nasdaq-listed Bilibili and must pay a fine of nearly $500,000. The […]

In his forthcoming book “Rage,” journalist Bob Woodward revealed that US President Donald Trump knowingly downplayed the danger posed by COVID-19 in the early days of the outbreak. However, to those paying attention to how the administration has handled the pandemic, the idea that they withheld information is not new, a journalist told Sputnik. “There are so many people that are trying to cash on the […]
During this time, my grocery shopping trips have gotten larger. Whenever I go, I’m really going for the entire week, maybe two, and so that means stocking up on plenty of fresh produce. What this has made me realize though, is that I use a ton of those plastic produce bags. You know, those green bags on rolls that are somehow impossible to get open? Yeah, […]
Brooklinen has got the goods. Their towels are soft and their bedding is somehow softer and their loungewear is cozy as can be.

That means you can save big on those new sheets you always wanted, or a new set of towels to freshen up your bathroom. […]
An endorsement from the bin Laden family is hardly the most coveted prize on the campaign trail, but Noor bin Ladin, niece of the 9/11 mastermind, has backed President Trump, claiming only he can save Western civilization. “ISIS proliferated under the Obama/Biden administration,” bin Ladin, who spells her surname different from her infamous uncle but has never made her relation a secret, told the New York […]
What is it about space? The black, starry void is a singularly vexing backdrop; it evokes endless possibility and terrifying nothingness all at once. We love to watch celebrities scream in space, contemplate fictional long-lost loved ones in space, and, of course, mull the very real existential doom that faces our planet in space. Enter Netflix’s Away—a gripping drama that embraces this galaxy of thematic potential […]
The embattled leadership of the U.S. Postal Service warned its elections-integrity task force on Thursday about “issues in the supply chain,” particularly from printers, that risk voters not getting ballots and election mail, according to a recording of the inaugural meeting of the task force acquired by The Daily Beast. “With the dramatic increase of ballots compared to previous elections, in some cases a tenfold increase […]
The Russian doctors who treated Alexei Navalny last week have issued an open letter in response to criticism of their efforts to save his life. They are offended by some commentary, which they believe is politically motivated. The Siberian medics say they did their best in a pressurising situation and that media coverage suggesting otherwise is “unacceptable” and part of what they term a “political diagnosis.” […]
Independent reporters who were livestreaming the riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin, risked their lives to save a church from burning after arsonists targeted a car dealership next door.

Former US president Barack Obama said the Trump administration had turned the presidency into a “reality show” in his speech to the Democratic convention, holding up Joe Biden as a panacea for all of the country’s troubles. Addressing the third night of his party’s national convention on Wednesday, the ex-POTUS took an uncharacteristically harsh tone on President Donald Trump, saying he hadn’t “grown into the job […]

The crisis at the Postal Service has been building and accelerating for months with virtually no official response. Over the past two weeks, however, it reached a crescendo that even the country’s remarkably confrontation-averse opposition party could not ignore. In a matter of days, overwhelming grassroots pressure pushed House Democrats from seemingly having no plan to executing a rapid return to Washington, D.C., getting a hearing […]
Flooding in Neijiang, Sichuan province, has prompted authorities to move tens of thousands of residents out of the area. There are fears that the natural disaster may also damage an ancient statue of Buddha. Heavy rainfall caused the Yangtze river, which runs through the province, to overflow, leaving countless people stranded by the rising floods. Beijing deployed the military to help evacuate residents and provide aid. […]
So here it is, convention week. Yes, it will be weird, without the crowds and the applause. But we’ve gotten used to a lot of weird things, and we’ll get used to this. There are many more important things about this convention to discuss than its virtual-ness. We have 80 days to go until Donald Trump and his propaganda network try to steal the election. There […]
By recycling used or old rocket engines, the US Army has found a way to save up to half the money it would have spent on test rockets. After US Army rockets finish their useful lives, an increasing number of them are being given a second life – but it is an unnatural life, one in which their sole purpose is to be killed for practice.

Far left billionaire George Soros has been systematically targeting district attorney races throughout the United States for several years now. Many of his candidates are already in office creating havoc across the country. In St. Louis City George Soros was Kim Gardner’s biggest donor in her race for Circuit Attorney back in 2016. A Soros funded PAC even released an ad in support of this far […]
The severity of COVID-19 has been linked to the destruction of the surface of the lungs – both due to the viral attack itself and as a consequence of the immune response described as a “double-edged sword”. The same phenomenon, when patients with healthy immune systems succumbed to the disease was observed during the deadly 1918 Spanish Flu. Critically-ill COVID-19 patients can be saved by dampening […]

As news has dribbled out recently that a coronavirus vaccine might hit the market as early as October, lots of Democrats and liberals have reacted with some combination of suspicion and panic that Donald Trump is somehow rigging the trial process to rush out a vaccine to help him win the election. The White House has dubbed the vaccine effort Operation Warp Speed, after all. Democratic […]

Guardian: Andrew Weissmann, an attorney who played a leading role under Robert Mueller in the investigation of Russian election interference, will release a book about the special counsel’s near two-year examination of links between Donald Trump and Moscow.

The news comes as Europe’s busiest transport hub reported that flight numbers had stalled at around 350,000 in June, a 95 percent drop from 2019 last year, due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions. Airports have warned that they may slash up to 20,000 jobs if they fail to receive government support, British media reported on Monday. According to the findings, government quarantine policies for international arrivals forced […]
For much of Donald Trump’s presidency, the phrase “Imagine if Obama had” served as a reminder of the double standards and hypocrisy required to defend Trump’s rhetoric and actions. But when it comes to the most recent example of hypocritical corruption, the pardoning of his longtime friend and “partner-in-crime” Roger Stone—who was convicted of lying to Congress and witness tampering in the course of Special Counsel […]
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti is warning citizens to avoid Fourth of July celebrations during the Covid-19 pandemic, yet is fully in support of Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests and was even pictured at one not wearing a mask. “We’re going to have to celebrate differently this year. Everyone should cancel plans with others for the 4th of July. You shouldn’t gather with anyone who doesn’t […]
Human actions have taken a steep toll on whales and dolphins. Some studies estimate that small whale abundance, which includes dolphins, has fallen 87 percent since 1980 and thousands of whales die from rope entanglement annually. But humans also cause less obvious harm. Researchers have found changes in the stress levels, reproductive health and respiratory health of these animals, but this valuable data is extremely hard […]
