NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Too often, decisions are made out of fear or pressure and Kentuckians pay the price. Real leadership means standing up for what’s right and staying focused on the people you serve. My focus will always be on Kentucky.

The dollar fell below 80 rubles on the exchange.

Less rubles for oil, adds pressure to the exploding deficit.

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread:

I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong.

So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

Absolutely focusing on the corruption can be a galvanizing message, but will require a coordinated effort to expose and explain the importance to people about why it matters to them. It also requires people trust the messengers not to be corrupt themselves.

I am curious what would happen if Dems ran on a plank of creating an anti-corruption agency with stronger independence than the Fed.

I think it would be highly successful because it would show "we will tie our own hands on this".

One lesson for pro-democracy advocates currently sitting in opposition around the world -- hammer incumbents on corruption and link strengthening liberal democracy (aka accountability) to anti-corruption efforts.
