Democrats have been proposing Universal Health Care in some form or another since the fucking Truman administration. The audacity of Bernie Sanders to imply that we wouldn't be talking about this without his fucking finger in our faces is truly astonishing.

Ability of re-grown Amazon forest to combat climate change 'vastly overestimated', study suggests - The capacity of re-grown areas of the Amazon rainforest to draw carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and combat climate change may have been “vastly overestimated”, scientists fear.

The House Judiciary Committee told a federal appeals court on Monday that it is still seeking testimony from former White House counsel Don McGahn because he could provide information that would help the panel decide whether to recommend additional articles of impeachment against Trump. The committee submitted a brief to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals arguing that its subpoena of McGahn is not moot following the House's vote to approve two articles of impeachment. "If McGahn’s testimony produces new evidence supporting the conclusion that President Trump committed impeachable offenses that are not covered by the Articles approved by the House, the Committee will proceed accordingly—including, if necessary, by considering whether to recommend new articles of impeachment," the panel wrote in its filing. The committee also said that McGahn's testimony would be crucial for helping the House present its case against Trump in an upcoming Senate trial over the approved impeachment articles.

Saudis sentence five to death for Khashoggi murder instead of sentencing them to life in prison.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/world-middle-east-50890633
Saudi Arabia's "trial" and "investigation" of Jamal Khashoggi's murder has been a complete sham. Executing five nameless, faceless men without transparency and an investigation into the regime's responsibility is not justice. It's just more bloodshed.

Yes, Bernie did big-dollar events for his 2016 race, and not for nurses, either. You know, fancy Hollywood galas. Max donors got a special pre-reception. The usual fare. Sorry guys, it's true, and you don't have separation from Warren on this.

This is precisely the reaction that is emboldening Democrats to keep the process in suspense, even if they ultimately move ahead when Congress comes back in January:
Nancy Pelosi, who has already lost the House & Speakership once, & is about to lose it again, is doing everything she can to delay the zero Republican vote Articles of Impeachment. She is trying to take over the Senate, & Cryin’ Chuck is trying to take over the trial. No way!....
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1209235490026774528
....What right does Crazy Nancy have to hold up this Senate trial. None! She has a bad case and would rather not have a negative decision. This Witch Hunt must end NOW with a trial in the Senate, or let her default & lose. No more time should be wasted on this Impeachment Scam!

Once trial starts, 51 sens can vote to compel witness testimony or document production. With 47 Democratic senators, Schumer would need four GOP senators to break ranks. But he wants a deal on witnesses and documents before the Senate votes on trial rules; McConnell wants to wait

Delivery dilemma: Americans are ordering more, but the U.S. can only handle so much | The delivery crunch is a year-round phenomenon that’s causing people to rethink the design of American cities. | Developers have begun to think vertically. Last year, Prologis built the country’s first three-story warehouse in Seattle, with ramps so that delivery trucks can access the upper floors. Industry analysts say multifloor warehouses are beginning to make sense in areas where land is pricey, and for the first experiment Amazon and Home Depot signed on as tenants. Now, similar buildings are in the works, including a planned four-story warehouse in a Brooklyn industrial park. (Multistory warehouses are already a reality in Asia, where they rise more than 20 stories high and have ramps long enough to accommodate foot races.) new model has popped up to rent the unused corners in warehouses, like an Airbnb but for spare capacity to store and ship inventory. Startups such as Flexe, Flowspace and CubeWork offer short-term rentals that are flexible on the amount of space and location — helpful for a retailer that doesn’t want to commit to leasing a whole building. “Everybody is trying to figure out how to catch up with Amazon with two-day shipping,” said Dave Glick, chief technology officer of Flexe. But, he added: “The capital that Amazon has invested over the last 20 years, most likely no one is ever going to reproduce.”
