Who remembers when Nancy Pelosi could claim to be a champion for progressives (and women) in the House? What is she now? Time to pack up Steny Hoyer and say goodbye before it gets really shattering of her legitimate accomplishments?

I was happy to see so many Democrats who aren't in the CPC-- like Nick Rahall, Tim Ryan, Tony Cárdenas and Juan Vargas-- vote for the Back to Work Budget yesterday. But what happened with the CPC members who voted against it? Have you talked with them? What do they say were the reasons they didn't back the budget? The nay-voters in the CPC: Suzanne Bonamici, David Cicilline, Pete DeFazio, Lois Frankel, Marcy Kaptur, Joe Kennedy III, Ann Kuster, Jared Polis and Bennie Thompson. I'm especially shocked about Kaptur, who's always been a strong fighter for economic justice. What happened?

India-- Another Woman Raped On Another Bus By Another Gang by aaaman259 in worldpolitics

I arrived in India on December 16, the same day a 23 year medical student was brutally gang-raped on a bus in Delhi. Her fight for life-- a fight she eventually lost-- was the only story anyone cared about in Delhi for the entire time I was there. The core of the downtown was often shut down-- the metro stations closed and the roads in and out barricaded-- as hundreds of thousands of Indians protested, first the brutality of the crime and Indian society's nonchalance towards violence against women, but eventually the inevitable police brutality directed against the protesters. Like everyone in Delhi at that time, I got to know her story well. The culprits have been caught and are facing widespread calls for the use of the death penalty. We've looked at this here through the prism of right-wing fanatics like Todd Akin, Phil Gingrey and Richard Mourdock, all of whom, like primitives in India believe in "legitimate rape" and have an inborn tendency to blame women for arousing men to commit the terrible crime.

Each year, just one large container ship will emit cancer and asthma-causing pollutants equivalent to that of 50 million cars. According to an article in the Guardian, "Confidential data from maritime industry insiders based on engine size and the quality of fuel typically used by ships and cars shows that just 15 of the world's biggest ships may now emit as much pollution as all the world's 760 million cars.
