    Dry and afire, OR

    Oregon is full of wildfires after a heat wave dried out the vegetation.

    The article attributes the fire wave to "heat, dry conditions and lightning," but it is clear that the underlying cause is global heating.

    Urgent: Stop Corporate Capture Act

    US citizens: call on Congress to pass the Stop Corporate Capture Act, which would explicitly reestablish the Chevron doctrine, which was recently overturned by the extreme court.

    That doctrine says that a federal agency regulation means what the agency says it means, as was the case for 40 years.

    IANAL, but I think this question is entirely separate from whether any given regulation complies with pertinent laws and constitutions. That has always been a matter for courts to decide.

    Golan Heights attacked, related tensions

    *Biden administration blames Hezbollah for ‘horrific’ Golan Heights rocket attack.*

    I agree: Hezbollah is to blame for this rocket attack, which killed civilians.

    Juxtaposing the US stance toward Hezbollah with its stance toward Israel's attacks in Gaza adds up to a double standard. It is quite clear that Israel is failing to carry out its duty to protect civilians in Gaza, and that is an enormous war crime.

    Harris took a similar position on the attack by Hezbollah.

    She can reduce her double standard by giving Israel less support over its attacks in Gaza, and more pressure.
