Thanks, Obama.

The U.S. military has voted by mail for what, two hundred years?

"Annoyed that two battleground states are trying to make it safer and easier for people to vote this fall, President Donald Trump is threatening to deny federal cash to both Michigan and Nevada, baffling political analysts who wonder why Trump would want to punish people whose votes he needs.

In morning tweets, the president claimed that the states' separate plans to send absentee ballots to all registered voters was illegal (a claim disputed by both states) and would enable voter fraud (a claim unsubstantiated by the records of the five states which now conduct elections entirely by mail).

He did not say which funds he pledged to "hold up" – or how he could do so – but the very idea of withholding federal help to states hit by both the pandemic and, in the case of Michigan, catastrophic flooding this week, perplexes observers."

 

China to impose sweeping national security law in Hong Kong, bypassing city’s legislature

"HONG KONG — China's Communist Party will impose a sweeping national security law in Hong Kong by fiat during the annual meeting of its top political body, officials said Thursday, criminalizing "foreign interference" along with secessionist activities and subversion of state power.

The move is the boldest yet from Beijing to undercut Hong Kong’s autonomy and bring the global financial hub under its full control, as it works to rewrite the “one country, two systems” framework that has allowed the territory to enjoy a level of autonomy for the past 23 years.

After steadily eroding Hong Kong’s political freedoms, Beijing signaled that the national security law will be a new tool that allows it to directly tackle the political dissent that erupted on Hong Kong’s streets last year. The months-long and sometimes violent protests began last June and fizzled out only over public health concerns related to the coronavirus outbreak.

The new tactic marks an escalation in Beijing’s crackdown in the former British colony and the clearest indication that it views Hong Kong as a restive region to be brought to heel after last year’s protests."
