This is extraordinary. Sequence of recent events does make u wonder if leaders of certain foreign nation's worldwide are feeling emboldened in Trump era to take steps that previously would've been considered politically off limits/too risky


The Saudis appear to have murdered a US resident (& a @washingtonpost contributor). The Chinese have arrested the head of INTERPOL. The Russians have used chem weapons on UK soil, etc. The worst impulses of brutal regimes are coming fwd bc/ no one is standing up against them.

Powell and Albright say world is changing in disturbing ways


This statement appears to indicate Interpol has accepted the resignation of its president, who remains in the custody of China’s ruling communist party. It does not say whether there’s any concern on the part of the organization that he resigned under duress.

Analysis: So how would impeaching a Supreme Court justice work, exactly? Here's what could happen if Democrats win control of the House.


Maine’s Press Herald: “Susan Collins did more than announce that she would vote to elevate Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court on Friday. She also tied her reputation to his for as long as he serves on the bench.”

For the good of the 22nd District and the nation, the choice is clear: Andrew Janz


If Bidwill and Kavanaugh were such close friends and Bidwill owns the Arizona Cardinals why did Kavanaugh have to pay for game tickets? Team owners have ticket allocations.
