America’s Tap Water: Too Much Contamination, Not Enough Reporting, Study Finds
One in four Americans’ water systems are in violation of safety laws, a report from the Natural Resources Defense Council found.Yes.
The politics of safe drinking water are intentionally confusing because safe water is expensive and will cost much more.
The E.P.A. has the regulatory authority to insist safe drinking water is supplied to the public.
Governments insist that the water they supply is safe.
Testing, source control and delivery will cost rate payers and
tax payers. That will cost the local authorities their employment.

How Democrats Can Win in the West
There’s no secret. Even red-state voters will embrace progressive ideas if you get out and talk with them.Governor Steve Bullock of Montana Should listen more closely to the dialog on public lands and agricultural subsidies.
Flyover country is a term not heard outside the urban core.

Food
A Shrimp Cocktail With a Jumbo Jolt, at La Esquina in Queens
Potent tonics are the draw at a tiny in-store restaurant with a big name (La Esquina del Camarón Mexicano) in Jackson Heights.If you wish.
The image is a good one.

In Panama, a Restaurant as Remote as It Is Satisfying
Panga, on the Azuero Peninsula, is over 60 miles from the nearest supermarket. That means the food is, by necessity, fresh and inventive.The costly part is the skill.

Is G.O.P. ‘Staring Death in the Face’ After Repeal? Democrats Hope So
Democrats saw a mirror image of their own politically disastrous health care experience in 2010, and they also saw an opportunity to possibly recapture the House.The repeal of the A.H.C.A. has not happened yet.
The proposed replacement will not work.
The Change in the House will probably happen
at the end of next year.

The Upshot
What Democrats’ Losses in 2010 Can Tell Us About G.O.P.’s Chances in 2018
If the past is any guide, the House vote to replace Obamacare could put Republicans at risk in the 2018 midterm elections.The causality is not obvious.
The risk of a change of party control is real.

Sessions Closed Sterling Case. Odds Are, His Predecessor Would Have, Too.
The decision not to prosecute an officer in a black man’s death in Louisiana indicated a high bar in such cases, not a new approach.Jeff Sessions has made people nervous.
People probably should be nervous.
Jeff Sessions has done nothing to calm people's fears.

Right and Left React to Trump’s Comments on the Civil War
A roundup of partisan writing that includes the conservative case for a single-payer system, three political myths Trump has helped to bust and a comic you won’t believe.Listening to the opposition is hard work.
Learning from them is harder work.
Convincing them that their arguments are faulty is nearly impossible.
Often the problem is in the axioms.
The "simple things" assumed to be true.
