Eight+ years in, is California’s effort to curb groundwater use working? Research shows that it is not on track to protect wells, ecosystems and marginalized communities.

Wait GOP congressional favorite for WA-3 is in favor of nuclear terrorism as a form of petitioning the government and it appears in which paragraph, @seattletimes? 36th? Marie Gluesenkamp Perez and Joe Kent in a nationally watched rematch

Here are the words in Esperanto––the utopian world language invented 150 years ago to fight nationalism and pursue world peace––for cheat, deceive, swindle.

Setting aside the very obvious fact that it's bad that extremists are now setting vote-by-mail drop boxes on fire, this is a reminder that if you do vote by mail, you should check online to make sure that your ballot has been accepted.
Burning ballots were pulled from inside a smoking ballot box in Vancouver, Washington, this morning, hours after police responded to an arson at a Portland ballot box

Sigh. Maybe the proper frame for this election is that a bunch of rich dudes and Christian zealots are trying to steal the entire country and turn us into Iraq under Saddam Hussein and not the early part with free preschool
America First?

So @VW gets americapilled and Germany learns its beloved industry might not love it back so much. Btw do the math on “87-year-old company” on.ft.com/4hj15yJ

WSJ tweeted this to its 20 million followers and it has under 400 retweets - presumably suppressed due to the link out. “Elon Musk has secretly been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin since late 2022”
Sorry @washingtonpost reporters and editors. It’s not your fault. It’s your owner and his guy
In other news, apparently misinformed voters seem to be choosing facism in search of cheaper groceries

As people debate the story about kids being targeted by snipers it’s worth remembering that the reason we have to rely on doctors as sources of information about this kind of thing is that Western journalists aren’t allowed in Gaza and Palestinian journalists keep getting killed.

5. Nor was the coverage limited to information that "was truly newsworthy." Any tidbit of information was fair game for coverage. One Washington Post article discussed Clinton campaign chair John Podesta's risotto recipe.
