House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will face a spirited challenge from activist and attorney Shahid Buttar in the November general election.
Buttar represents a unique, if unlikely challenge to Pelosi, the most powerful elected Democrat in the country and 33-year incumbent for San Francisco’s congressional seat. On Tuesday, Pelosi took 72.5 percent of the vote in California’s 12th Congressional District. Under the state’s unique primary system — where the top-two vote-getters in the primary make it to the general election, even if they belong to the same party — Buttar’s 12.7 percent was enough to get him on the November ballot.
The combined result is a divergence in the life expectancy of white college graduates and non-graduates. Overall mortality for whites between the ages of 45 and 54 has held roughly steady in the last 25 years. But that average hides a big increase in death rates for non-graduates and a big decline for graduates.
Contested Democratic conventions in the past led to catastrophe. In 1860, the Democratic convention broke up over the issue of slavery and in the end two Democratic candidates, one from the south, the other from the north, ran for president.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she is pushing for a reauthorization, not just an extension, of the three expiring provisions that deal with roving wiretaps, lone wolf surveillance and a controversial records program that allows the government to request phone metadata.
“We have to have a reauthorization,” Pelosi told reporters.
Horowitz discovered premeditated fraud on the FISC by a DOJ attorney. In 2016, the attorney „altered“ email from „the other U.S. government agency“ (CIA) and submitted a fraudulent application for a warrant to the court. So the FISC approved the warrant.
The target: Carter Page, a Naval Academy graduate and a former Trump presidential campaign associate. Spying on Page — an innocent man — opened a door to spying on President Donald Trump.
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, the presiding judge on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), issued an order Wednesday setting out an additional framework for the Justice Department and FBI to follow in future FISA proceedings. The order specifies that „no DOJ or FBI personnel under disciplinary or criminal review relating to their work on FISA applications shall participate in drafting, verifying, verifying, reviewing or submitting such applications to the court.“
The name was picked from a shortlist of nine submitted by schoolchildren.
The state of Alabama on Thursday executed Nathaniel Woods—who was pronounced dead at 9:01pm local time—after the U.S. Supreme Court issued a temporary stay of execution that was later lifted and Republican Gov. Kay Ivey declined to exercise her powers of commutation or reprieve despite widespread public outcry, doubts about Woods‘ guilt, and concerns about the legal proceedings that led to his death sentence.
Pompeo said it was reckless to even suggest an investigation after the Afghan peace deal was reached, and vowed the US would take “all necessary measures” to shield US personnel from the investigation.
Pompeo sagte, es sei unverantwortlich, überhaupt nach dem afghanischen Friedensabkommen eine Untersuchung vorzuschlagen, und schwor, dass die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika „alle notwendigen Maßnahmen“ ergreifen würden, um US-Personal vor der Untersuchung zu schützen.

„Mein Leben als Lehrer war in den USA nicht tragbar. Ich musste noch rund 18.000 Euro meines Studienkredits zurückzahlen, mir blieb genug zum Essen, aber Freizeitaktivitäten konnte ich mir nur bedingt leisten. Nach dreieinhalb Jahren an einer Highschool in der Innenstadt von Detroit habe ich mich entschieden, meine Familie und meine Schüler zu verlassen. In den USA hätte ich nicht weiterarbeiten können.“

I don’t know about you, but the election results this week filled me with more hope than I’ve felt in years. It felt like somebody turning down the volume.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has begun to sound like an aging hippie: “It’s the establishment, man!” Sanders attacks former vice president Joe Biden not on the substance of anything that he and President Barack Obama accomplished;
