As Trump crisscrossed the country last week trying to help his party avoid a blowout in the midterms, two of his top political advisers — James Blair and Chris LaCivita — were in the Balkans helping a pro-Russian government looking to tighten its grip on power.

Kimberly Guilfoyle was preparing for her congressional hearing to become U.S. ambassador to Greece when she reached out to a Trump donor with an urgent request: She needed $100,000 that she said she owed American Express—in a way that wouldn't leave a paper trail.

The Trump admin has declined to invite election observers from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe to witness the midterms — meaning observers from the group won't be at a U.S. election for the first time in more than two decades.

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.

Adam Tooze explains that AI is not the Manhattan Project—for one thing, it's all in the hands of private investors who are consumed with aspirations for money and political power. And in any event, US media's coverage of AI has been an historical journalistic fail. www.ft.com/content/7b83...

No, AI is not similar to the Manhattan Project
What is singular and novel about the current threat is that it was born out of the private sector

How do you defeat a president who’s trying to sabotage the midterms? 1. Use drop boxes. 2. Vote EARLY in person. 3. If mailing in your ballot, put it in the mail AT LEAST two weeks before Election Day. 4. Vote in person on Election Day. 5. Share these instructions with everyone you know.

In March, Washington State passed a tax on millionaires to fund public education, childcare, and expand its earned income tax credit. Now, special interest groups backed by the rich are trying to trick voters into repealing the tax by claiming it will apply to non-millionaires. Don't fall for it.

Washington Taxed Its Millionaires. Now the Rich Want It Repealed.
Washington State voters will get a chance to accept or reject the 9.9 percent income tax on millionaires approved by the Legislature, which broke the state’s taboo against levying income taxes.
