Not much news on this, but this article was good.

It seems Democrats were more so supportive to an amendment which would have extended the duration of the withdrawal in a different bill:

>In July 2022, the House voted on a proposed amendment to the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act introduced by Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) that would have cut all funds for the US presence in Syria within one year if President Biden didn’t get authorization for the war. The amendment failed, but it received support from about 60% of House Democrats.

That bill was introduced by Democrats, so I think this is partially "we want the legislature we write to get passed, not the other side" kind of thing that always happens. E: NH House Reps still voted no on that amendment.

The only defense of this bill I see is from when the top US general visited Syria and essentially said our presence is to deter ISIS. Sounds kind of weak.

Regarding the demonetisation policy:

>YouTube and its sister company Google (both owned by Alphabet), first suspended all advertising in Russia last week after the Russian government asked the tech giant to stop allowing any ads in the country related to the invasion of Ukraine, which started on Feb 24. But YouTube went a step further on Thursday, stopping Russian creators from making any money off of a large percentage of their audiences.

>“This means that Russian creators won’t be able to monetize content from viewers in Russia, but can still make money from ads and other monetization products shown to users in countries outside of Russia,” the spokesperson continued.

So they still can profit over every other country, just not Russians. This means a channel in English with large international appeal (such as this one) will be much less effected than one targeting a local Russian audience. This doesn't seem like the most unfair solution to a company like Alphabet pulling out of Russia.

Forecast for comparison

>Not in New Hampshire, though, here you have to go to city hall to register or change parties and there’s no early voting at all.

Not necessarily easier, but you can vote earlier with an absentee ballot. In 2020 everyone could use coronavirus as the reason for one, however now you have to have a different approved reason. If you do not meet those criteria specifically, your moral compass can decide if lying is egregious for this. I spend election day out of town.

Counterpoint: Candidates go where there are tight races. They are not using the extra time to speak to every American in all areas, they are going to Florida for the 25th time because that may help them win.

I wouldn't mind if everyone voted on the same day and no state had greater influence, though apparently that's not an option.

If you're basing that on the dots in the map they are not very accurate. "Wood" for example has three locations spread apart but only one dot on the map.
