The Trump admin refused to invite international election observers for the first time in over 20 years. As concerns about the Trump admin undermining election integrity escalate and the midterms quickly approach, this is a troubling decision.

Trump administration refuses international election monitors for first time in over 2 decades

The decision not to invite observers from the OSCE puts the U.S. alongside Russia and Belarus, while the Justice Department prepares to deploy its own poll monitors.

This is from an article about a rare grove of American chestnut trees about to be demolished in WV — and we have no say in it! My former* delegate, Kayla Young, broke it down in her newsletter a few months back. (She's still a delegate, but for a neighboring district. I wish she was still mine!)

Not 100% accurate to politics, but reading this brought the Democratic leadership to mind. (From "Thief of Time" by Terry Pratchett)

They were not bad men. They had worked hard on behalf of the valley for hundreds of years. But it is possible, after a while, to develop certain dangerous habits of thought. One is that, while all important enterprises need careful organization, it is the organization that needs organizing, rather than the enterprise. And another is that tranquillity is always a good thing.

Japan’s largest producer of tonoko is reportedly closing at the end of this year. Tonoko is a soft, fine earth formed from deposits of ancient plankton and is an essential material in urushi lacquerwork. Other sources still exist, but this producer has supported Japanese lacquerwork for many years.

I’ve avoided remarking on the Russia Irkutsk death given the murky information. Under IHR verification, Russia has told WHO it is not plague but has not confirmed the pathogen. The released just now by WHO DG Tedros reinforces my view that this is an increasingly concerning situation.
