Kamala Harris is belatedly courting progressives. Is it too little, too late? | Arwa Mahdawi
As she mulls another presidential run, the former VP is building bridges with progressive and Arab American leaders Does Donald Trump secretly want Republicans to get annihilated in the midterms? Because he’s certainly acting that way . He continues to brush off concerns about the cost of living, saying last week that high gas prices are a very “inexpensive price to pay ” for the war on Iran. And, of course, the president seems to have no plans to end that disastrous war, apart from making vague threats about blowing the entire country up. Trust me, he keeps saying, everything will get better after the midterms . But by the looks of his dismal polling numbers, not many people are swallowing his empty promises anymore. Arwa Mahdawi is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...

Raye’s I Know You’re Hurting urged me to confront a lifetime of depression
I had always ignored my anguished mental state or tried to push it aside, and CBT didn’t work for me – then one song seemed to articulate my pain Six months ago, I was driving past John Lewis on the M40 with my wife and stepdaughter, Raye’s I Know You’re Hurting playing on the stereo, when I realised I was crying. It was the third time I’d listened to the song, but it was the first time I’d really heard it. It was as though the lyrics were speaking directly to me: “I can see you standing on the edge … You give when you have little left to give.” Music had made me emotional before, but only ever because of the melody or the arrangement or the orchestration. I have worked in music since I was 21, and as a recording and mix engineer, I’ll listen to a song all day, taking it apart to work out how to make it better.

The truth behind Donald Trump’s ‘biggest oil deal in world history’
The US’s oil deal with Venezuela faces multiple legal and logistical problems, including questions about whether it can be implemented Donald Trump has long coveted the oilfields of other nations and declared an agreement with Venezuela to be “the biggest oil deal in world history”. But the deal, reached after the US seized Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro, is almost certainly doomed to collapse amid a wide array of legal and logistical issues, a Guardian investigation has found. The US president first mused about taking oil from Iran in 1987, when he told ABC’s Barbara Walters that Iranian attacks on American shipping during the Iran-Iraq war required an extreme response. “Why couldn’t we go in and take over some of their oil, which is along the sea?” he asked. Over the ensuing years, he has returned frequently to the idea that America should seize oil from other countries after mili

He relocated from Texas last year to take up the role, finding the 400-acre human-made island to be the perfect location, “close enough to the office and all the culture the city has to offer, but far enough that I’m waking up to the sound of seagulls instead of car horns”.
