I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day. -- E.B. White

Shameful. A Saudi woman has been sentenced to 34 years in prison. What's her crime? Following and retweeting dissidents and activists on her Twitter account. trib.al/Pxy4VYB

@LivingBlueTX @FBI This is a must-see. Fortunately, there are likely very few of these and they don’t seem organized enough to do anything but make their videos.

@PoliticusSarah Must ponder if he took nuclear documents to sell them or similar. Why else take them? It’s well-known how to build a weapon, so the material stolen could reveal U.S. nuclear planning—most valuable to the Kremlin. Big speculation, I know. But also fits with his Russia dedication.

Tipping point reached: The NRC/UNHCR displacement monitoring system in Somalia has registered its millionth person forced to flee because of drought. We cannot turn a blind eye as a hurricane of a crisis ravages Somalia. nrc.no/news/2022/augu…

Here is how the Byrd Rule works. As you can see, if Republicans actually support the insulin price cap, they can preserve the integrity of the Byrd Rule by voting to waive it.

Armando@ArmandoNDK

The Republicans are going to make a point of order to strip the insulin price cap out of the Inflation Reduction Act saying it violated the Byrd Rule. But I haven't seen anyone say that their concern on the Byrd Rule can be obviated by voting for it. 60 votes solves that problem

The U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on #Hiroshima 77 years ago, killing 140,000 people — almost half the city. Was it a war crime?
