In a stunning public rebuke of the president, former Defense Secretary James Mattis blasted President Donald Trump for his use of force on protesters, Mattis told Atlantic on Wednesday. “I have watched this week’s unfolding events, angry and appalled,” Mattis wrote to the Atlantic. “Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try,” Trump’s first Defense secretary said. “Instead he tries to divide us. We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership.”Mattis’ bona fides led to a smooth confirmation as Defense Secretary, getting confirmed by a 98-1 vote in the Senate in 2017. But Mattis’ tenure concluded in late 2018 with a disagreement with Trump over the handling of tensions with Syria. Mattis, however, had remained silent in any criticism of Trump until Wednesday. “The words ‘Equal Justice Under Law’ are carved in the pediment of the United States Supreme Court,” Mattis told the Atlantic. “This is precisely what protesters are rightly demanding. It is a wholesome and unifying demand—one that all of us should be able to get behind. We must not be distracted by a small number of lawbreakers. The protests are defined by tens of thousands of people of conscience who are insisting that we live up to our values—our values as people and our values as a nation.”Mattis' censure of the president comes two days after Trump used military police, the Secret Service and US Park Police to clear protesters from a public square in Washington to allow Trump a photo op in front of an charred church. Trump also beseeched governors to call upon military backup to bring “law and order” amid the unrest following George Floyd’s death at the hands of police in Minnesota. Trump said if governors didn’t activate troops, the president would send them anyway, despite a 19th century law that prohibits US troops to conduct domestic law enforcement at the behest of the federal government. While not endorsing Trump’s opponent in this coming general election Joe Biden, Mattis said, “We must reject and hold accountable those in office who would make a mockery of our Constitution. At the same time, we must remember Lincoln’s ‘better angels,’ and listen to them, as we work to unite.”Trump responded late Wednesday to Mattis via Twitter."Probably the only thing Barack Obama and I have in common is that we both had the honor of firing Jim Mattis, the world’s most overrated General," Trump tweeted. "I asked for his letter of resignation, & felt great about. His nickname was “Chaos”, which I didn’t like, & changed it to “Mad Dog”"His primary strength was not military, but rather personal public relations. I gave him a new life, things to do, and battles to win, but he seldom “brought home the bacon”. I didn’t like his “leadership” style or much else about him, and many others agree. Glad he is gone!"To read Mattis’ full op-ed, click 3045

In the last several days, dozens of major universities have decided to cancel in-person classes as coronavirus fears spread nationwide. The number of cases have jumped in recent days as testing is becoming available across the US. Universities are opting to conduct classes online. Some have said that in-person classes will continue on an indefinite basis, while other universities are planning on shutting down classrooms for several weeks. This is due to health officials recommending that the public avoid close social contact as they try to get a handle on the virus spreading nationally.

It’s the foundation of American democracy: voting.Depending on where you are in the U.S., though, your election experience could look very different from that in your neighboring state or even just your neighbor.“It really does depend on where you are in the country,” said Marian Schneider, who heads up Verified Voting, a non-profit, non-partisan group that advocates for better election security.In particular, the group takes a closer look at when it comes to the use of computers in elections.“We use computers in every aspect of election administration in this country,” Schneider said. “We have also historically underfunded our elections and not put the money into them that we need in order to run a computerized operation.”So, what might voters encounter on election day? There are a few possibilities.- A paper ballot, where a voter uses a pen or paper to mark their choices and that paper is then scanned and counted by a computer.- A computerized device, where a voter presses a touchscreen to mark an electronic ballot, which then prints out a paper version that is scanned and counted.- And there are paperless electronic machines, which have a completely computerized ballot, with no paper trail.It is the last one, Schneider said, which raises big concerns because they are the most vulnerable to hacking. “First of all, they make it difficult to discover if something has gone wrong,” she said. “And then, even if you are able to discover it, you can't recover from it.”It can’t be recovered because there is no paper trail to serve as a backup. It’s a type of ballot currently used in all elections held in Louisiana, as well as some jurisdictions in nearly a dozen other states: Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Tennessee. Some of those are now in the process of phasing out the paperless devices, but upgrading election security is costly.“What you just saw most recently is bipartisan agreement to fund elections at the state level, so Congress just agreed to provide 5 million, in addition to 5 million they allocated in 2018,” said Liz Howard, with the Brennan Center for Justice. “So, we’re getting close to billion from the federal government to improve election security across the country."While states continue grapple with the cost of replacing vulnerable and aging voting machines, Schneider said voters still need to do their part.“There's only one surefire way to make sure your vote is not counted,” she said, “and that's if you don't show up at the polls.” 2590

July 2019 has replaced July 2016 as the hottest month on record, with meteorologists saying that global temperatures marginally exceeded the previous record.The European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Programme, which analyzes temperature data from around the planet, said that July was around 0.56 °C warmer than the global average temperature between 1981-2010.That's slightly hotter than July 2016, when the world was in the throes of one of the strongest El Ni?o events on record.El Ni?o events are characterized by warming of the ocean waters in the Pacific Ocean and have a pronounced warming effect on the Earth's average temperature.Though there was a weak El Ni?o in place during the first part of 2019, it is transitioning to a more neutral phase, making the extreme July temperatures even more alarming.Jean-No?l Thépaut, head of the Copernicus program, said: "While July is usually the warmest month of the year for the globe, according to our data it also was the warmest month recorded globally by a very small margin.""With continued greenhouse gas emissions and the resulting impact on global temperatures, records will continue to be broken in the future," he added.According to Copernicus, 2015 through 2018 have been the four warmest years on record. April, May and July this year all ranked among the warmest on record for those months, and this June was the hottest ever.Freja Vamborg, a senior scientist at Copernicus, told CNN last week that the data suggested we are on track for the second-hottest year ever, after 2016.The temperature record was close to 1.2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.This means we are rapidly approaching the crucial threshold of 1.5 degrees, which will precipitate the risk of extreme weather events and food shortages for hundreds of millions of people.The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned last year that we have until 2030 to avoid such catastrophic levels of global warming and called on governments to meet their obligations under the landmark 2015 Paris Agreement.Almost 200 countries and the European Union have pledged to keep the global temperature below 2 degrees Celsius as part of the Paris Agreement.Petteri Taalas, secretary-general of the World Meteorological Organization, said last week that this July has "rewritten climate history, with dozens of new temperature records at the local, national and global level."The July record comes after a period of extremely hot weather around the world.Intense heat waves have swept Europe this summer, breaking temperature records in at least a dozen countries. Scientists have warned that the world should expect more scorching heat waves and extreme weather due to climate change.Europe wasn't the only region baking in July. Anchorage, Alaska, recorded its hottest month ever, and extreme heat helped facilitate "unprecedented" wildfires in the Arctic and triggered mass melting of Greenland's ice sheet."This is not science fiction. It is the reality of climate change. It is happening now, and it will worsen in the future without urgent climate action. Time is running out to rein in dangerous temperature increases with multiple impacts on our planet," Taalas stressed. 3230
