  9. Is Trump’s $5,000 midterm pledge a new low? - The Latest
    By Presented by Lucy Hough with Devika Bhat ; produced by Angus Neale ; senior producer Ryan Ramgobin ; executive producer Zoe Hitch

    Donald Trump has pledged a payment of $5,000 to every adult American citizen if the Republicans win in the November midterms. The outlandish proposal, which would cost over $1tn, immediately raised legal and ethical concerns. It comes as the president’s approval rating has hit a record low, hovering at about 38%.

  10. People who aren't in the US resistance are not seeing this, but #WashingtonDC protestors have been extremely busy.

    The mutiny of preverts is terrified. Not just about riots if they were to "successfully" steal the midterms (looking less likely by the day) but also the very sight of protestors mocking them 24/7.

    ¿Se puede tener una ciudad segura si quitas los asesinatos?

    En 1989, el alcalde de Washington D. C., Marion Barry, intentó defender la reputación de su ciudad ante la prensa. Para calmar los ánimos sobre la violencia, dijo una frase que quedó grabada en la historia por su falta de lógica: "Si quitamos los asesinatos, Washington tiene una de las tasas de delitos más bajas del país". La declaración causó burlas inmediatas porque ignoraba que el homicidio es el peor delito de todos.
