(REUTERS / Leah Millis) Invoking the DPA now feels like the first step toward what the industry actually wants – the fast-tracking of mining projects so that they don’t require extensive regulatory review. Recent news reports suggest the Biden Administration is likely to invoke the Defense Production Act (DPA) to address key shortages in critical minerals, like lithium and nickel. This is a response to supply chain disruptions brought on by the Russian war with Ukraine. The DPA has been […]

We Are Measuring The Wrong Things About The Labor Movement By Nick Driedger, Organizing Work.

Measuring the labor movement is a popular undertaking: leftist analysis is full of bigger picture stuff like strike rates per year since the 1930s, overall union density, and percentage of the public that is supportive of unions. Awhile back, Dave Kamper wrote a provocative piece in The Forge reemphasizing the need for solid measurements as a foundation for rebuilding the labor movement. In “We Don’t […]

The Devastating Cycle Of Tit-For-Tat Attacks Between Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates, And The Houthis Will Not End Via Diplomatic Doublespeak. Last week, Brett McGurk, the White House coordinator for the Middle East, boiled down the millions suffering in Yemen into a false binary in which Washington has done everything it can for peace. He claimed that the Houthi rebels in Yemen are to blame for the continuation of this seven-year conflict that has become the largest humanitarian crisis in the […]

Those who revealed un-redacted cables have never been prosecuted nor requested to remove them from the internet, writes Dean Yates. I wrote a piece for Australian online publisher Crikey just before Julian Assange’s extradition hearings resumed in September 2020 in which I regurgitated a slur that has done enormous harm to his reputation. Australian journalists should stop using the WikiLeaks treasure trove in their stories if they wouldn’t speak up for Assange, I’d written. Journalists like to think they’d go to jail to protect a source. Well, their source was suffering in London’s high-security Belmarsh prison, I said. […]

But this is a false dichotomy. Meeting or not meeting with the North Korean leader hasn’t been the failure of U.S. policy. And more pressure and sanctions […]

A county elections board in Ohio has confirmed that nearly 50,000 voters received “inaccurate” ballots in the mail, vowing to correct the error while fending off charges from President Donald Trump that the vote has been “rigged.” Election officials in Franklin County – Ohio’s most populous region and home to the state capital of Columbus – said on Friday that tens of thousands of erroneous ballots were sent out to voters, caused by a mishap with a machine that loads the ballots into mailing envelopes.

Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) pushed back against former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s recommendation to current Democratic hopeful Joe Biden that he not concede the election to President Donald Trump “under any circumstances,” saying Clinton was “flat out wrong.” In the wake of President Donald Trump’s repeated refusal to commit to a peaceful transfer of power should he lose the upcoming election, Republicans have pointed to Clinton’s recent advice to Biden to justify the president’s remarks. In an interview last month with her former communications director Jennifer Palmieri, the ex-secretary of state—who lost the 2016 election to Trump despite […]
Errol Morris is one of non-fiction cinema’s all-time greats, a godfather of modern true crime thanks to 1988’s The Thin Blue Line, which famously got Randall Dale Adams off of death row. So when he says that another murderer is innocent of the crimes for which he’s been convicted, it’s necessary to listen—if not to instinctively believe him. And yet A Wilderness of Error, FX’s five-part adaptation of Morris’ 2012 book of the same name, makes a far from convincing case, raising plenty of doubt about whether the illustrious filmmaker was, in this instance, on the wrong side of the truth.

TEL AVIV—Assuming last-minute disputes about mask-wearing and social distancing can be ironed out in time, the South Lawn of the White House will once more be the site of a historic Middle East peace deal signing. Two deals, in fact, as both Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates normalize ties with Israel. Rejecting the presence of a Jewish state in the Middle East has been a totemic political and moral commitment in the Arab world for 75 years now. Travel to or from Israel was prohibited, as was all trade and cultural exchange and sporting competition. For years even the mention […]

In a week in which we are yet again reminded how sharply sentiment can shift in crypto asset markets, it’s appropriate to look at the role volatility plays in our narratives, our portfolios and our psyches. I also want to examine what volatility is not, as its specter takes on a disproportionate influence in times of turmoil. This confusion is not unique to crypto markets – volatility is misunderstood across all asset groups. As with virtually all market metrics, however, it has particular nuances when applied to our industry. Setting the table First, let’s review what we mean by volatility. Technically, it […]
A federal appeals court has ruled that the telephone metadata collection program used by the National Security Agency to spy on Americans was illegal, just as NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden said seven years ago. The metadata “bulk collection” program violated the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Wednesday. The opinion delivered by Judge Marsha Berzon reportedly contained multiple references to Snowden and his role in disclosing the program to the public – for which he became a wanted fugitive. Seven years ago, as the news declared I was being charged as […]
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) arrived in person on Thursday ready to deliver arguably her most forceful—and strategic—admonishment of President Donald Trump in the general election. After briefly addressing the natural disasters imperiling the country, wildfires in California and Hurricane Laura in Louisiana and Texas, Harris set her sights on the human-generated horrors gripping the nation. “On the eve of the 57th March on Washington, I will speak about the recent events in Kenosha, Wisconsin,” Harris said, starting out a powerful 20-minute speech. “Jacob Blake shot seven times in the back in broad daylight in front of his three young sons.

77-year-old Joe Biden hasn’t left his basement since July 28. Biden’s signature meltdown Wednesday morning may be the reason why his handlers continue to keep him in his basement. The 2020 presumptive Democrat nominee completely lost it when asked by Errol Barnett of CBS News if he’d taken a cognitive test. “No, I haven’t taken a test. Why the hell would I take a test?
