OMG.
Big: Kris Kobach, the Kansas attorney general, one of the country’s most notorious far-right figures who charted the way for Trump’s election denialism well before Trump got to it, has lost his reelection bid. Democrat Chris Mann will be new Kansas attorney general, AP calls.

This will also mean that if a President is impeached, he/she can not just detain enough Senators to ensure his/her acquital.
14 VOTES TO CONVICT VP SARA DUTERTE The number to convict Vice President Sara Duterte is no longer two-thirds of 24, it is now at two-thirds of 20. This equals 13.333. Presiding Officer Chiz Escudero in his ruling, said that because there is "no fraction of a senator," the court ruled to round up to the next higher number. This means the number to convict, if the denominator is the 20 active roster of senator judges, is at 14 senator-judges, to convict; and at seven senator-judges, to acquit. | via @mjaysoncayabyab WATCH: youtube.com/watch?v=7wZQXux3…

It is not access to social media that is the problem. It is access to loose firearms.
TINGNAN: Baril, nakuha mula sa bag ng isang 14-anyos na estudyante sa isang paaralan sa Barangay Dudod, Pinamungahan, Cebu kahapon, August 20. Ayon sa pulisya, nakita ng Grade 9 adviser ang caliber .357 revolver matapos magsagawa ng surprise inspection sa mga bag ng mga estudyante bilang precautionary measure. Napag-alaman sa imbestigasyon na pagmamay-ari ng lolo ng estudyante ang baril at nakalagay ito sa cabinet sa kanilang bahay. Na-turn over na sa Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office ang estudyante para sa kaukulang pagkalinga. | via Joan Gantalao, Super Radyo Cebu Bisitahin ang gmanetwork.com/news para sa iba pang balita.

We also need to understand that new moms need to rest and recuperate too during this time. The Dad's presence in taking care of both the mom and the newborn is essential. Please push for this @ChelDiokno @AkbayanParty @risahontiveros
DAD DUTY, UPGRADED? #Akbayan Party-list Rep. Chel Diokno has filed a bill expanding #paternity leave from seven days to 105 days, arguing that raising a child is a shared responsibility and giving fathers more time to care for their newborns and support their families. #dailytribune

A strong earthquake has struck off the coast of Sarangani this morning, and a tsunami warning is now in effect across several coastal provinces in Mindanao. I have directed all relevant government agencies to act immediately. The Office of Civil Defense and the NDRRMC are now coordinating disaster response and monitoring across all affected areas. The DSWD has been directed to pre-position relief goods and ensure that evacuation centers are ready and operational. The DPWH is on standby to assess damage to roads, bridges, and critical infrastructure, and to clear routes needed for rescue and relief operations. I am also ordering the suspension of classes in all levels across affected areas in Mindanao until further notice. The safety of our children comes first. DepEd will coordinate with local government units on this. To our kababayans in the affected provinces, please heed the tsunami warning. Move to higher ground now. Do not wait. Your life is more important than anything left behind. The national government is moving and we will not leave Mindanao behind. I am in constant communication with our regional offices and local chief executives on the ground. Updates will be provided as the situation develops.

"....Ang kulay at tatak ay 'di siyang dahilan. Hangga't marami ang lugmok sa kahirapan. At ang hustisya ay para lang sa mayaman...."
Justice Caguioa’s concurring opinion on Bato’s case is superbly written. This case will define the Court. For too long, power has found ways to outrun justice. It has hidden in office, in influence, in violence, and now, in the language of due process. That ends here. The Court cannot become a refuge for impunity. It has always been, and must always remain, where justice refuses to yield.

Even up to 1M. This will put more take home pay to the middle class who has been struggling through this crisis. Too poor to spend but too rich for government subsidy.
