FIRST: Trump pressured Republican-led states to rig their congressional maps in an effort to cement his power in the states. Texas Republicans hand-delivered Trump five new GOP congressional seats. THEN: The DLCC was the first major organization to call for Democratic-led states to fight fire with fire, pursue mid-cycle redistricting, and hold Trump and Republicans accountable for their corrupt scheme. NOW: Virginia could become the next redistricting battleground – but only if Democrats fend off a Republican takeover in the House in just 10 days.

Thanks to a generous coalition of donors, we’re 3X-matching every single dollar raised before our deadline. Make a 3X impact donation→ Will you commit to funding the DLCC’s mission to elect state-level Democrats by making a donation of $7 or $25? Every donation – like $7 or $100 – makes a significant difference in powering state Democrats nationwide. Let me explain: Voters have already started casting ballots in elections that will decide legislative control in Virginia, and Democrats are running critical advertising and voter mobilization programs between now and when polls close on Election Day. Each seat up for grabs around the country is an opportunity to build or protect Democratic power in places like your state; power we will use to defend families like yours from the very worst of the Trump agenda. Donating before our end-of-month deadline not only helps Democrats win in November, it also strengthens the DLCC's position heading into 2026, ahead of next year’s midterm elections. The DLCC is building a strong foundation in the states to sustain and build the long-term power that Democrats need to make health care more affordable, lower grocery and energy costs, protect voting rights, and improve life for all of us. But we can’t continue to power Democrats to victory if we don’t increase our resources. We need this entire movement to own a stake in upcoming elections. Will you donate $7 ahead of our end-of-month deadline to own a piece of this movement before polls close on November 4th?

But a major analysis from a team of researchers in the U.K. has, for the first time, pulled together data from more than 150 clinical trials to compare the physical side effects of dozens of antidepressants. The study, published in the Lancet this week, details how each medication can affect weight, blood pressure, heart rate, cholesterol and other areas of health. The end result is something akin to a “sports league table” for 30 different antidepressants based on their side effect profile, says lead author Dr. Toby Pillinger, a psychiatrist at King’s College London. “It’s never been done at this scale before and no one’s ever put specific numbers to the amount of weight you’ll put on, or to the amount that your cholesterol goes up,” he says. The findings are based on existing data, mostly from 8-week drug studies, that altogether represent more than 58,000 patients. The most frequently prescribed antidepressants in the U.S. — selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, like Zoloft and Prozac — tended to have fewer physical side effects, according to the analysis. Other medications, particularly some of the older drugs, were shown to have more significant impacts.

A União Europeia (UE) aprovou nesta quarta-feira (22) um novo pacote de sanções contra a Rússia, ampliando o cerco econômico ao país em meio ao prolongamento do conflito na Ucrânia. O conjunto de medidas, o 19º desde o início da guerra, prevê cortes adicionais nas importações de gás e petróleo russos, além de restrições severas a empresas e embarcações ligadas ao setor energético. De acordo com informações divulgadas pela Reuters e confirmadas por Lars Aagaard, ministro do Clima, Energia e Serviços Públicos da Dinamarca — país que atualmente preside o Conselho Europeu —, o acordo entre os Estados-membros foi alcançado após a retirada do veto da Eslováquia. A aprovação formal do texto está prevista para esta quinta-feira (23).

The sanctions against oil giants Rosneft and Lukoil followed months of calls from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as well as bipartisan pressure on Trump to hit Russia with harder sanctions on its oil industry, the economic engine that has allowed Russia to continue to execute the grinding conflict even as it finds itself largely internationally isolated. “Hopefully he’ll become reasonable,” Trump said of Putin not long after the Treasury Department announced the sanctions against Russia’s two biggest oil companies and their subsidiaries. “And hopefully Zelenskyy will be reasonable, too. You know, it takes two to tango, as they say.” The U.S. administration announced the sanctions as NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte was in Washington for talks with Trump. The military alliance has been coordinating deliveries of weapons to Ukraine, many of them purchased from the United States by Canada and European countries.

Esta semana, a Islândia registrou a presença desses insetos dentro de suas fronteiras pela primeira vez na história do país nórdico. A descoberta de três mosquitos Culiseta annulata foi confirmada na segunda-feira pelo Instituto de Ciências Naturais da Islândia, que afirmou que os mosquitos provavelmente chegaram em cargas e pareciam ser capazes de suportar o clima islandês. (Já houve relatos anteriores de mosquitos encontrados em aviões na Islândia.) O instituto observou que os mosquitos eram uma das várias novas espécies de insetos descobertas na Islândia nos últimos anos devido ao aquecimento global e ao crescimento do transporte internacional. O entusiasta de insetos Björn Hjaltason disse ter encontrado os mosquitos em uma fazenda em Kjós, ao norte de Reykjavík, no início deste mês.
