Clinton’s new democratic message of economic opportunity, community, and, laughable as it now seems, personal responsibility, helped put him in the White House in 1992. Clinton is gone (sort of ), but the message is not. It is standing-room-only in the center these days, with moderate groups swelling to record dimensions. The House’s New Democrat Coalition is the body’s single largest caucus, with 70 members-including nine of the party’s 13 freshmen....
In the decades after the fall of the Soviet Union, Armenia cultivated close ties with Russia. Part of this was cultural, and part also due to a realistic security calculation. Starting in 1991, both Turkey and Azerbaijan blockaded Armenia and threatened its very existence and so Russia’s security guarantees mattered. In 2018, however, Armenians took to the streets to demand government transparency, more freedom, and democracy. This Armenian model of democratic breakthrough—one accomplished from within Russia’s sphere of influence—is a development that the United States should seek to cultivate....
That was the consensus heading into the season, and for good reason. They had pretty much every key player back from 2014’s 96-win squad, and they added former Cy Young winner Max Scherzer to the rotation as a free agent. Bryce Harper was primed to become the superstar everyone expected. MLB TRADE RUMORS: Carlos Gonzalez | Justin Upton | David Price And even though Scherzer and Harper have been even better than anticipated, which is really saying something, the Nationals haven’t been baseball’s best team....
CNN’s “sister network” CNN Turk started broadcasting in Turkey in 1999 and was a leading news outlet in its early years. The channel became synonymous with self-censorship when it aired a documentary on penguins in 2013 instead of reporting the Gezi Park protests, which witnessed countrywide demonstrations against the Erdogan government’s authoritarianism. Back then, even CNN mocked its sister network in Turkey for broadcasting the penguin documentary; it aired footage of a Turkish guest, during a live interview with CNN Turk, taking off his shirt to reveal a penguin T-shirt underneath in protest of the broadcaster’s editorial policies....
If indeed Governor Noem or any other Republican governor says that in their state abortion is illegal, which means abortion drugs are illegal, which means pharmacies cannot dispense them in the state, that is 100% within that state’s purview to have that law. I celebrated the death of Roe v Wade enormously because I am pro-life, and because I acknowledge a state like California or New York, their right to be as ghoulishly pro-choice as they wish....

Berlusconi has frequently been indicted on serious charges, including tax evasion and bribing judges. But his three convictions were subsequently dismissed. His more than $12.8 billion worth of holdings (banks, real estate, Italy’s largest publishing house, and much more) do indeed pose colossal conflicts of interest that must be dealt with. He controls the three largest commercial television networks, with 80 percent of the commercial television audience. But people fretting about Berlusconi’s control of some media are notably less worried about the leftist tilt of Italian state television....

When petroleum is pumped out of the ground, some natural gas comes with it. Typically, it’s burned at the wellhead, a process called gas flaring. Countries report how much flaring goes on within their borders, but the World Bank, taking a cue from Ronald Reagan, has gone the “trust but verify” route: it asked the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to use the military weather satellites at its disposal to peer down at oil wells from 400 miles up in space to measure who is really burning how much....

Said person is Matt Betz, a defensive lineman at West Liberty (W. Va.) University. Per the Random College Athletes Twitter account — an excellent follow — Betz played for the Hilltoppers from 2008-13, which briefly coincided with Watt’s college career. The latter spent a year in residence at Wisconsin in 2008 after transferring from Central Michigan, before playing two seasons for the Badgers in 2009 and ‘10. The resemblance is definitely noticeable — though, as Watt mentioned, not quite perfect:...
Rowling, while speaking to author Suzanne Moore in an interview on her blog, Letters from Suzanne, dismissed claims she had been canceled over her many public comments about trans issues. Rowling said that she could “take the hit,” given her high-profile status, and gave it as the reason why she has spoken up on these matters. Moore said to Rowling in the interview: “That’s why it’s important that women like us stand up—people who can afford to take the hit....
