Is John Cornyn living in a parallel universe or is he a pathological liar? - Daily Kos

Pathological lying has worked for Donald Trump, so apparently it's the new norm for the Republican Party. Consider Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, never among the bright lights of that august body, but really stepping in it today. He responded to a tweet from Sen. Chuck Schumer, the Democratic minority leader, that pointed out that Republicans keep trying to take the Affordable Care Act's protections for people with pre-existing conditions away. ....

Trump backpedals on China threats as trade deal shows signs of slipping away - The Washington Post

President Trump said Tuesday that a new trade deal with China might not come until after the 2020 elections, a significant departure from more than a year of trying to exert pressure on the world's second-largest economy.

Save The Salmon, Save The World (Joshua Johnson, The 1A)

The northern Pacific Ocean bridges cultures and economies from western Canada and the American Northwest to East Asia and Russia’s Far East. For all their differences, communities in each of those places rely on one essential animal: salmon.

Salmon are critical not only to the ecosystems they’re part of — affecting everything from forests to orcas and grizzly bears — but also to a $3 billion industry that employs tens of thousands of people, according to conservationist Guido Rahr.

But human impact has caused salmon stocks to drop dramatically, with devastating economic and environmental consequences. A proposed mine in southwestern Alaska has generated backlash, and even among environmentalists, priorities clash. The push to build hydroelectric dams — an important source of “clean energy” — has cut salmon off from their spawning grounds.

Rahr is the subject of “Stronghold: One Man’s Quest to Save the World’s Wild Salmon,” a new book by journalist and novelist Tucker Malarkey. Malarkey chronicles Rahr’s work to restore salmon stocks as it takes him around the world and leads him to form unlikely partnerships with celebrities and Russian oligarchs.

We talk to Rahr and Malarkey about what it will take to save the Pacific’s salmon.
