Over the course of several days, The Associated Press interviewed a cross section of voters in Northampton County to ask whether Biden's messaging around the fate of democracy was resonating. These voters represented parts of the very coalition Biden will need to win Pennsylvania again — Black voters, Latinos, independents and moderates from both parties. A Biden campaign spokesperson said the democracy message is central to the campaign but it is not the only one the campaign will use to reach voters. Getting Black voters engaged is going to take more from Biden, she believes, because so far his campaign messages have not resonated. But Lopez thinks messages of fear and Trump imperiling American democracy are essentially meaningless for many of the county's working class voters.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is going small to try to win big in November. Biden’s campaign taped the visit, which was closed to reporters, and later released curated snippets online. “You have to go to the places where people are,” said Biden deputy campaign manager Rob Flaherty. Biden aides say their goal is for the president — or those he's meeting with — to amplify the president's message too. “I would rather have 100 outside voices saying Joe Biden is great than one piece of content from us saying Joe Biden is great,” he said.

The men with guns dressed all in black were perched on the roof using binoculars to scan the area for terrorists or other bad guys. An election year has arrived, and it is time for President Biden to get out of the White House and hit the road for votes. The counterassault team does not really lend an air of authentic spontaneity to the whole venture. The venues he visits are chosen in advance, the route he takes is chosen in advance, the people he meets are chosen in advance. If it’s possible, a significant chunk of the town is roped off.

The first day of strikes began on Friday, hitting 28 locations and striking more than 60 targets. AdvertisementThe Houthis' military spokesman, Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree said in a recorded address that the US strikes would "not go unanswered or unpunished."

EMMAUS, Pennsylvania (AP) — President Joe Biden on Friday tried his hand at retail politics — stopping in a trio of Pennsylvania stores to stress the value of small businesses and talk up his economic record. Biden gladhanded and joshed at a running shoe store, bicycle shop and coffee house in Emmaus, Pennsylvania. “If you notice, they're feeling much better about how the economy is doing,” Biden said in response to a reporter's question. “It was cool for him to be able to see the small businesses that power our economy and the folks behind that,” Shapiro said. As he left the coffee shop, the president noted that his birthplace was just 90 minutes away.

The warning came as Yemen’s Houthis vowed retaliation, further raising the prospect of a wider conflict in a region already beset by Israel's war in Gaza. The U.S.-led bombardment came in response to a recent campaign of drone and missile attacks on commercial ships in the vital Red Sea. Since November, the rebels have repeatedly targeted ships in the Red Sea, saying they were avenging Israel's offensive in Gaza against Hamas. The Houthis’ military spokesman, Brig. Tesla, meanwhile, said it would temporarily halt most production at its German factory because of attacks in the Red Sea.

☆ A pastor invited to DeSantis' Disney board meeting quoted the Bible telling people not to 'resist authority' as it strips workers' park perks

A pastor invited to DeSantis' Central Florida Tourism Oversight District's meeting told attendees not to "resist authority." The pastor read from the Bible as the board discussed stripping park parks for Disney workers and retirees. Ron DeSantis to run the area around Disney World defended stripping park employees of their perks — moments after a pastor invited to speak urged attendees not to "resist authority." Last month, the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board revoked all of the land's firefighters' free passes to the Disney parks and resorts. Disney responded with a lawsuit, and while DeSantis said he's since "moved on" from the fight, Disney is not backing down.

☆ ROA – un nou standard în agricultura organică lansat în 2020 pentru a combate încălzirea globală
▼ + stars: | 2020-01-03 | by ( Luminita Crivoi | ) agrobiznes.md time to read: +2 min

Agricultura regenerativă, orientată spre îmbunătățirea sănătății solului ar putea deveni tendința numărul unu în acest an. Spre deosebire de certificarea organică standard, ROA presupune nu doar sistemul eco de producere, dar și asigurarea sănătății solului pe termen lung și asigurarea beneficiilor economice pentru fermieri. Standardul, de fapt, a devenit o necesitate în condițiile în care, potrivit cercetărilor, agricultura generează un sfert din emisiile de gaze cu efect de seră. Astfel de practici asigură fertilitatea solului și capacitatea de a reține mai multă umiditate și carbon. Elizabeth Whitlow, directorul executiv al Alianței ROA, sugerează că sechestrarea carbonului în sol nu va reduce total emisiile în creștere.
