    Fliers reading "Death Camps For Trump Supporters Now!!!" turned up at various locations throughout Long Island, N.Y., this week, including on Republicans' homes and cars, according to Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.). No community is immune from this political hate. This is happening now in NY-1 (also being placed on my staffers’ homes & cars). Between this, trying to publicly shame GOP donors here & worse, those w hate consuming their hearts are only sowing division! https://t.co/Dpe5tkNotn — Lee Zeldin (@RepLeeZeldin) August 7, 2019 Patch reported on Tuesday that a member of a "Shock Theater" group had photographed "multiple fliers" hanging near...

    Former Congressman Beto O’Rourke canceled his campaign events in Iowa on Thursday in favor of a trip to Mexico. O’Rourke dropped his scheduled appearances at the Iowa State fair and a handful of Iowa political events, announcing his plan to travel to Juárez, Mexico instead on Thursday. He is scheduled to meet with Chihuahua Governor Javier Corral Jurado and Ciudad Juárez Mayor Armando Cabada to discuss the relationship between the two countries and attend a funeral of one of the Mexican shooting victims in Juárez.

    Amazon’s self-driving robots will be roaming the streets of another neighborhood. The online shopping giant said Tuesday that the six-wheeled robots, about the size of a smaller cooler, will begin delivering packages to customers in Irvine, California. It comes after Amazon began testing them in a suburb of Seattle at the beginning of the year.

    Faithful readers of The New York Times were probably surprised on Wednesday when reading its political column "The Upshot" as it examined both President Trump's favorability and job approval ratings.The column is titled "Don’t Assume Trump’s Approval Rating Can’t Climb Higher. It Already Has," and it provides some sobering analysis for the increasingly hostile Trump haters: Donald J. Trump doesn’t always seem like a candidate focused on expanding his base of support. He may have done so anyway. The share of Americans who say they have a favorable view of him has increased significantly since the 2016 election. And over the...

    Efforts to curb greenhouse gas-emissions and the impacts of global warming will fall significantly short without drastic changes in global land use, agriculture and human diets, leading researchers warn in a high-level report commissioned by the United Nations. The special report on climate and land by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) describes plant-based diets as a major opportunity for mitigating and adapting to climate change ― and includes a policy recommendation to reduce meat consumption.

    Austin city leaders are expected to approve a resolution declaring a “climate emergency” during Thursday’s city council meeting...If approved, the resolution would require the city manager to give regular updates to the city council on what staff members are doing to achieve climate change goals.The city would also launch a community awareness campaign to let people know what they can do to reduce their carbon footprint. Additionally, it would create “resilience hubs” in low to moderate-income areas to serve as shelters, evacuation centers, and disaster response hubs during emergencies related to the changing climate. “On a day like today that’s...

    Neither Mayor Nan Whaley of Dayton, nor El Paso Mayor Dee Margo [see update below] are Trump supporters. Both, however, had to set aside personal political animus towards the president and carry out their professional duties to acknowledge he would be welcomed in their cities in the aftermath of mass shootings.Make no mistake, it is clearly a bitter pill for both of the mayors to swallow. Both made that crystal clear in their remarks to the press Monday and Tuesday. Both put their best foot forward and decided to do their jobs. When a disaster happens, whether it is...

    The music festival at Woodstock 50 years ago was a big deal. There had never been anything quite like it in America before — not in terms of size or caliber of performers (though Monterrey Pop might not have been too far behind in terms of the latter). But with the 50th anniversary approaching, it was inevitable that precincts of the mainstream media would make Woodstock out to be more than what it was. The heady combination of nostalgia and leftism would see to that. That combination outdid itself in a PBS program called “Woodstock: Three Days That Defined a...

    To paraphrase the earworm theme song from The Lego Movie, everything’s transactional — everything is cool when you’re part of a team. The good news from the latest Pew poll is that skepticism over executive power at the expense of Congress and the judiciary commands majorities overall and in all three political affiliations. The bad news? Republicans are now least likely to worry about it.I wonder why? Currently, 66% of the public says “it would be too risky to give U.S. presidents more power to deal directly with many of the country’s problems.” About three-in-ten adults (29%) offer the...

    Aug. 7 (UPI) -- A West Coast restaurant chain announced it is seeking a "bacon intern" to make $1,000 in a single day by taste-testing bacon. Farmer Boys announced the opening for the dream job on its website, stipulating that applicants should use a photo or video on their Instagram accounts to explain why they would be best suited to the position. The bacon intern would work only a single eight-hour day and receive $1,000 for their bacon-tasting services, the eatery said. Entries are being accepted through Aug. 20, Farmer Boys said.

    VIDEO Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin of Michigan made her aide apologize for the parking in the wrong space. As you can see in this video, it was Slotkin herself her parked in that space yet she berated the aide and forced her to apologize. I guess apologizing is something beneath Congresswoman Slotkin.

    Sanctuary districts, "zen" zones, SEL and communication with families are among initiatives providing immigrant students with safety and resources amid an anti-immigrant political climate. With massive U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids affecting Mississippi families yesterday, areas with large immigrant communities are going to be on high alert. Following the seven raids that resulted in 680 arrests, Southern Poverty Law Center Attorney Julia Solórzano, with the SPLC’s Immigrant Justice Project, called the raids a part of an "ongoing war against immigrants," one that will have a significant effect on children in the school districts. "These sorts of raids terrorize workers...

    Full title:Feds can’t withhold public safety grants for Oregon, city of Portland based on sanctuary law, judge rules A judge has barred the Trump administration from withholding public safety grants from the state and the city of Portland over Oregon’s sanctuary law that directs police not to help federal agents enforce immigration policies. U.S. District Judge Michael J. McShane also said the federal government can’t impose immigration-related conditions on the grant awards. McShane, who is seated in Eugene, issued his 44-page decision late Wednesday in a case brought in November by Gov. Kate Brown, Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum and...

Charles Pope GodÂ’s Warning to the Slothful and Fearful In daily Mass (Wednesday of the 18th week of the year) we hear of the grumbling that sentenced the ancient Jews to wander in the wilderness for forty years. They forfeited the very blessing they left Egypt to obtain.God had promised them a land of their own, a Promised Land flowing with milk and honey. At the critical moment, when God was ready to give it to them, they balked; they doubted. In their fear, they grumbled that taking the land...

    “Jack is thinking about things at a different pace from the rest of us,” says Greg Kidd, who has known Jack Dorsey, now 42, since Dorsey was 19. “Jack’s pace is slower.” It’s an odd thing to say about one of the only two men in history to have ever simultaneously run two multibillion-dollar companies that he cofounded. But Kidd, who was an angel investor in Dorsey’s first business, Twitter (TWTR), and one of the earliest advisers on the second, Square (SQ), means the remark as high praise. “Jack’s at a slower pace where he’s noticing things that the rest...
