Matt Taibbi | The Fury and Failure of Donald Trump
Matt Taibbi, Rolling Stone
Taibbi writes: "Saturday, early October, at a fairground 40 minutes southwest of Milwaukee. The very name of this place, Elkhorn, conjures images of past massacres on now-silent fields across our blood-soaked history. Nobody will die here; this is not Wounded Knee, but it is the end of an era. The modern Republican Party will perish on this stretch of grass."

Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan | Putting Their Bodies on the (Pipe)line
Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan, Democracy Now!
Excerpt: "Hurricane Matthew has come and gone, leaving devastation in its wake. So far, at least 1,000 people are reported to have died in Haiti, and at least 39 have died throughout the southeastern United States. In North Carolina, the rivers are still rising. In this election year, given the destruction, you would think climate change would be a major issue. In the presidential debates, which tens of millions watch, there has hardly been a mention. It is what is happening outside, at the grass roots around the country, that gives us hope."
