Haiti's elections minister says that the two suspects accused of organizing the murder of President Moise were probably not the ringleaders of the plot. He did not speculate about who the ringleaders might be.

As for whether those two suspects were actually involved in the plot, I have seen no information shedding light on that.

*Climate envoy John Kerry has rejected notion that Beijing could buy US silence on human rights as price of cooperation on climate.*

I think that is proper.

Uganda jailed activists that worked for the opposition presidential candidate.

US citizens: call on your congresscritter to kill the Hyde amendment which limits federal funding for abortion.

Here's the text I used:

I am writing as your constituent to tell you that I support ending the Hyde Amendment and all legal impediments to abortion.

Abortion is basic health care, and no person should be denied access because of where perse lives, how much money perse makes, or anything about per medical insurance.

Therefore, I support ending all barriers to abortion, including the Hyde amendment. Ideally all medical plans should be required to cover 100% of the cost of an abortion. The usual argument that patients should pay a copay so they have "skin in the game" does not apply to abortion.

Banks are only just waking up to the need to consider sea-level rise when deciding about making mortgages.
