  1. #DonaldTrump won the #2024Election vote with one of the smallest #vote #margins in U.S. history, but in news deserts – counties lacking a professional source of local news – it was an avalanche. Trump won 91% percent of these counties over his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris, according to an analysis of voting data by Medill Journalism School’s State of Local News project. localnewsinitiative.northweste #journalism #democracy #GOP #MAGA #republican #voting #Elections2024 #news

  2. Billionaire #KelcyWarren invests in #pipelines — and #Trump

    The #EnergyTransfer boss’ political strategy can yield big returns.

    By Mike Soraghan | 09/05/2024 06:41 AM EDT

    "Kelcy Warren is good at getting a return on his investments.

    "The #billionaire pipeline mogul goes big and moves fast — even if it sometimes looks bad from the outside.

    "That’s how his company, Energy Transfer, built the #DakotaAccess oil pipeline in spite of bitter #TribalProtests. And that’s how the company made $2.4 billion from buying and selling #NaturalGas during the deadly #TexasBlackouts in 2021.

    "This year, he’s invested $5 million in the campaign to elect former President #DonaldTrump to another term in the White House. The potential return on investment is high."

  3. Not the BJP, but the Opposition Has Fielded More OBCs and Dalits in UP This Time

    The INDIA bloc’s caste-wise distribution of candidates will not quite follow the ‘Pichda, Dalit, Alpsankhyak’ formula that Akhilesh Yadav promised – but will be a bold political manoeuvre where for the first time in a decade, the BJP will be on the backfoot.

  9. As Media Continues to Expose Electoral Bond Issues, What’s Next?

    The official agencies should by now have started to investigate and prosecute. Money donated by loss-making companies could be cases of money laundering. However, can the official agencies be trusted to carry out independent investigations against the ruling dispensation? Arun Kumar writes.

    While the BJP received 48% of the $1.5 billon in bonds from 2019 to January 2024, just before the Supreme Court scrapped the program last month, it isn’t alone. Governments in non-BJP-ruled states are also in a position to dispense favors to the private sector — or hold them back. Andy Mukherjee writes.
