Nick Corasaniti, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 47 minutes ago

David E. Sanger and Nicole Perlroth, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 hour ago
The goal is to disrupt Russia’s well-honed information-warfare systems,
whether they are poised to hack election systems or influence the minds of
voters.
The voters can't handle the truth.
They will need to deal with the facts.

Cecilia Kang, David McCabe and Daisuke Wakabayashi, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 hour ago

Google has no need of illegality.
People are always complaining about the house.

David E. Sanger and Andrew Higgins, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 hour ago

Peter Baker, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 1 hour ago
Among the possibilities are proposals developed by a Justice Department

The Big Role That Big Donors Still Play, Quietly, for Joe Biden
Shane Goldmacher, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 5 hours ago
The Biden campaign has trumpeted its success with small donations, but in
the last six months it has raised almost $200 million from donors who gave
at least $100,000. As sums have grown, transparency has diminished.
This will continue to be the best government money can buy.
The price tags will not show.
15
It’s Google’s World. We Just Live in It.
Brian X. Chen, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 6 hours ago

"Just say no"

Nick Corasaniti and Davey Alba, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 9 hours ago

Kamala Harris, Mass Incarceration and Me
Reginald Dwayne Betts, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 15 hours ago
Many progressives mistrust her for her past as a prosecutor. As an
ex-convict — and also the son of a crime victim — I can tell you it’s not
that simple.
Kamala Harris did the best job she could. Prosecutors do not make the law.
20
Trump and Biden Will Be Muted for Parts of Their Next Debate
Michael M. Grynbaum, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 22 hours ago
In an unusual move meant to avoid interruptions like those that marred the
first debate, the organizers said they would turn off each candidate’s
audio feed while his rival had the floor.
That might be enough.
Both participants need to talk.
