The heat in Europe is reducing the power output of some nuclear power

They are cooled by water from rivers, and it is too hot to cool them
enough. |

Manchin and Sinema
Robert Reich: *Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema act out of ego, not principle.*
In a broad sense, this must be true. But is it "ego" in the ssnse of
simple emotion, or is it "ego" in the sense of future advantage? |

Police department resigns after town appoints a black woman as city manager
The 6 uniformed thugs of Kenly, North Carolina, who are white, all
handed in resignations after the
town appointed a black woman as city
manager.
In the absence of any specific facts, I speculate that they were used
to getting away with abusing some citizens, and saw that the new city
manager was not going to permit that. |

*UN to investigate prison attack that killed [53] Ukrainian
prisoners of war.*
*UN to investigate prison attack that killed [53]
Ukrainian
prisoners of war.*
The Putin forces claim this was a false flag attack by Ukraine, but
the claim is not plausible. It is absurd to think that Ukraine would
kill Ukrainians just to have an excuse to accuse the Putin forces of
yet another atrocity. Ukraine has hundreds, or is it thousands, of
atrocities to charge them with.
It is the Putin forces that would desire to kill those Ukrainians;
indeed, it had already threatened to execute them. |

Republicans changed their mind about veterans poisoned by military
incineration of toxic substances, and
passed a bill to help them.
They tried following their philosophy, which is that if you're not
rich you don't deserve help, but the public disgust made them change
their tune. |

I suspect that right-wing white women will get preferential treatment:
they won't get prosecuted for miscarriages. |
