Trouble In Paradise: Facebook Spread Of Hate Speech As Mauritius Oil Spill Crisis Continues
These are not ordinary oil spill response protocols, and ‘more of the same’ is not the solution. This is not an oil spill response that is going well, 8 weeks in. Mauritians and the diaspora have the required capabilities for a full investigation into the oil spill.

The IMO and oil industry group ITOPF have also been singled out for particular criticism given clear failures in their roles to be applying best practice oil spill responses in the country, and endangering the oil spill response effort.

Pro-democracy protesters push over a fence surrounding the Sanam Luang field during a protest in Bangkok, Thailand, on September 19. On Sunday protesters also installed a "people's plaque" near the Thai Royal Palace, commemorating their movement as the "vanguard of democracy."

Opinion: Why Trump can't fox the 2020 media like he did in 2016
They say they can't stand that Trump gets away with so many unchecked lies, manipulating both mainstream news outlets and social-media platforms. They fear Election Night 2020 will be just like it was four years ago, and the media will be to blame if Trump wins a second term. There is no doubt the media struggled mightily in 2016 with how to cover Trump, but 2020 is different, both in what the media has learned and the difference between covering an incumbent and reporting on a challenger. The real challenge for Trump is that he no longer controls the campaign narrative. Facing another shortfall in campaign cash, Trump can't depend on the media to help him drive the narrative.

Sen. Ted Cruz: After Ginsburg -- 3 reasons why Senate must confirm her successor before Election Day
On Friday, our nation lost a historic Supreme Court Justice: Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The Supreme Court has become the preeminent arbiter of our constitutional rights. The 2016 election was not only a referendum on our Supreme Court; it was a referendum on the direction of our entire judicial system. And on nineteen different occasions up to 1968, the president sought to fill a Supreme Court vacancy while his own party controlled the Senate. Twenty years ago, I was part of the legal team that litigated Bush v. Gore and went to the Supreme Court.
