I'm kinda surprised with all the sectarian violence in the ME right now that the Burj Khalifa still exists.

What's your favorite obscure record?
Set Yourself on Fire by Stars and "Your Ex-Lover's Dead" is an amazing song. I remember liking it because I grew up, and people would always ask me, "What's your music sound like?" And I never really found a band that sounded like what I wanted to be, which is indie-pop. And then when I heard Stars, Set Yourself on Fire, like "Ok, yeah." They have a song called "Ageless Beauty" that sounds a lot like [my song] "Party Line" which is on [ Welcome to the Monkeyhouse].

Rebecca Brinkman moved to Baraboo, Wisconsin, an hour north of Madison, from Ohio in the spring of 2016 for a job as a zookeeper. She worked from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day before rushing to her polling place.

In addition to her Ohio driver’s license, she brought a manila envelope stuffed with documents to confirm her identity, including her credit card, her Social Security card, her rental lease, and a paycheck. “I was very well organized,” she told me. But November 2016 was Wisconsin’s first major election with a strict voter ID law in effect, which required voters to present one of a handful of categories of government-issued photo ID. Brinkman couldn’t get a Wisconsin driver’s license in time because her birth certificate was in Ohio.

Even though Brinkman was already registered in Wisconsin and had other forms of ID, poll workers only allowed her to cast a provisional ballot. It was never counted. “I was very frustrated,” she said. “This past election was kind of a big one.” She described herself as “liberal” and said she didn’t vote for Donald Trump, who carried the state by just 22,000 votes.

A comprehensive study released today suggests how many missing votes can be attributed to the new law. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison surveyed registered voters who didn’t cast a 2016 ballot in the state’s two biggest counties—Milwaukee and Dane, which is home to Madison. More than 1 out of 10 nonvoters (11.2 percent) said they lacked acceptable voter ID and cited the law as a reason why they didn’t vote; 6.4 percent of respondents said the voter ID law was the “main reason” they didn’t vote.

Jones Act waivers “would take American first responders out of the loop and replace them with Filipino or Russian or Chinese crews,” he said. “Doing that at a time when many U.S. mariners in this region have had their homes damaged, their lives uprooted and now they need to work, to take that away is not something you want to do.”

last time it was a weird protest vote where everyone in favor of the status quo sat out so statehood got 97% approval. In their 2012 vote, statehood also got approval with much higher turnout.

This morning I had a very, very strong feeling this was a Miller push. There's nobody else at that level left to push absolutely lovely policy as Trump's too loving stupid to know how to be calculated evil.

The leaks also revealed emails from Mr Sater to Mr Cohen. One said excitedly: “Can you believe two guys from Brooklyn are going to elect a President.” Another said: “Our boy can become President of the USA and we can engineer it … I will get Putin on this programme and we will get Trump elected.”

Andrew Weissmann, the federal prosecutor who “turned” Mr Sater during the fraud investigation, is now on Mr Mueller’s team. Mr Sater is helping federal authorities in a Kazakh money laundering scheme in which some of the money was supposedly laundered through a Trump property. The claims of Mr Trump being the Muscovian Candidate for the US Presidency, raised by Mr Steele, continue to grow and reverberate.
