*US to impose visa bans on Israeli extremist "settlers" for violence against Palestinians.*

Bravo -- those people are terrorists.

US citizens: To avoid another bank bailout, support the Federal Reserve's proposal to increase capital requirements on large banks.

*Republican George Santos expelled from Congress in bipartisan vote.*

Santos is a crook and lied to his constituents. In and of itself, his expulsion is a good thing, and he deserved it. But I worry that this willingness to expel representatives who have not committed a crime might make it easier to expel representatives such as Rashida Tlaib for honestly standing for unusual views.

*Just like oil and gas businesses, and petro-states, carbon-intensive industries including meat will fight to keep on polluting.* *Felicity Huffman says she paid to have her daughter’s college testing scores raised because she felt pressed to give her child “a chance at a future”* -- instead of someone else's child. That's a selfish person's response to a painful imposed competition.

Another response is possible: to join together to campaign for a society that gives everyone a chance at a future.
