Vance: You said "trust the experts" but we trusted the experts with offshoring workers to developing economies, and they were wrong about that. Donald Trump had the courage to go against it.

Walz: If you want billionaires to get tax cuts ... Kamala Harris has a record of… t.co/eE1VtBRZj8

Meh, Nuzzi writes 5,000-word articles about Steve Bannon's shirts. It's fun, but it's not important.

Daughters of the KGB: Moscow's Secret Spies, Sleepers and Assassins of the Cold War by Douglas Boyd, 2015

Everyone has heard of the KGB, but little has been published about is 'daughter' organisations through which Moscow terrorised the satellite states grabbed by Stalin during and after the Second World War.

Staffed by Moscow-trained nationals closely monitored by KGB 'ambassadors', Poland's UB, the Czech StB, the Hungarian AVH, Romania's Securitate, Bulgaria's KDS and the ultra-Stalinist Stasi of the German Democratic Republic all repressed democratic movements in their respective countries for forty years. They arrested and imprisoned without trial anyone not toeing the Moscow line, earning the hatred of their compatriots. When this boiled over - in GDR 1953, Hungary 1956 and Czechoslovakia 1968 - Russian troops and tanks mowed down unarmed protestors. The 'daughters' also carried out espionage and mokrye dyela assassinations for Moscow in Britain and other Western countries, such as the murder of Bulgarian defector Georgi Markov on Waterloo Bridge in 1978, and occasionally hired professional hit men, including the notorious assassin Carlos the Jackal. Historian and author Douglas Boyd explores for the first time the relationship between the KGB and its ghastly brood of 'daughters' - a true family from hell.

We got our first mic mute of the vice presidential debate.

Impressively, it took nearly 30 minutes to actually happen. Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) tried to respond to additional context moderator Margaret Brennan gave on Haitian immigrants’ legal status in Springfield, Ohio, accusing her of breaking the rules about fact-checking. “Thank you for describing the legal process,” Brennan told Vance before moving on after producers cut the candidates’ volume.

Trump’s tax policies cost working families thousands in increased prices, all to pay for tax cuts for corporations and the ultra-rich. And now through Project 2025, Republicans want to make those tax cuts permanent.

How to Be a Dictator by Frank Dikötter

From the Samuel Johnson Prize-winning author of Mao's Great Famine, a sweeping and timely study of twentieth-century dictators and the development of the modern cult of personality.

#CultOfPersonality

No dictator can rule through fear and violence alone. Naked power can be grabbed and held temporarily, but it never suffices in the long term. In the twentieth century, as new technologies allowed leaders to place their image and voice directly into their citizens' homes, a new phenomenon appeared where dictators exploited the cult of personality to achieve the illusion of popular approval without ever having to resort to elections. In How to Be a Dictator, Frank Dikötter examines the cults and propaganda surrounding twentieth-century dictators, from Hitler and Stalin to Mao Zedong and Kim Il Sung. These men were the founders of modern dictatorships, and they learned from each other and from history to build their regimes.

"The West led by the United States is completely out of touch. The whole world wants the genocide against the Palestinians to end now."

Indian historian and Marxist academic Vijay Prashad spoke at the event "Latin America Speaks: Solidarity Vs. Empire". In the midst of dangerous escalation by Israel, Prashad spoke about the role of US-NATO imperialism in driving war around the world.
