STOP, LOOK, LISTEN! by Kathy Sherretts

Fireproof?
Since the press conference with Putin, the president has reversed his double negatives a few times on the subject of Russian interference in US elections. Republicans are still not angry—just a little miffed, I guess. Some of his party may be cautiously edging away, but Donald Trump has received a literal stamp of approval from a Russian mining company.
I’m living as a serial houseguest in the US right now, where I can call my senators toll-free every day.

Opinion:

We can speculate on exactly why Trump has been so eager to become Putin’s flunky; it’s obviously a complicated story with roots that go back decades. But what about the rest of the GOP?

New York Times: Do-It-Yourself Legislative Redistricting from the NYT Editorial Board
“Voters should choose their politicians, not the other way around.” Michigan is one of several states where regular citizens are fighting to take back the mapmaking process.
