Click here for our weekly roundup of national blogs. Northeast This week, NHJournal writes than incumbent Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen has launched a new focus on women’s issues, charging that her GOP challenger, Scott Brown, does not stand up for women’s reproductive rights and economic security. They say that Shaheen’s move on women’s issues is an effort to make her strong standing among women even stronger at a time when Brown may be gaining on her. In the Bay State this week, MassPoliticsProfs looks at the state’s gubernatorial race between Democrat Martha Coakley and Republican Charlie Baker. They look at whether or not national trends are ‘hobbling’ Coakley. They say that while President Obama is relatively unpopular, the Democratic Party out polls the GOP on most issues, and Coakley has a much superior voter mobilization operation. Daily Kos also comments on the race, writing on Monday that the contest is a ‘real’ one, given than many polls show Coakley neck and neck with Baker.

US Coast Guard Considering Arctic ‘FONOPS’ to Counter Russian Presence at North Pole by Morgan Artvukhina The US needs to expand its operations in the Arctic to counter Russia’s presence there, the head of the US Coast Guard said on Monday. That could include “freedom of navigation operations” (FONOPS) like the US uses to challenge maritime claims of other nations of which it does not approve. “Presence equals influence in the Arctic. And right now ... we're woefully lacking as a nation in terms of our capacity,” US Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Karl Schultz toldthe conservative think tank the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC. The region is home to considerable natural resources, including an estimated $1 trillion worth of minerals, one-third of the world’s liquefied natural gas (LNG), and rich fishing grounds - much of which has remained untapped due to the harsh climate, permafrost and sea ice. It also holds great travel potential as an alternative to the Suez Canal or Cape of Good Hope. As climate change increases the region’s average temperatures and sends the ice into retreat, global powers are looking to the Arctic as the next place to make their claims - or head off the claims of others. "What we're concerned about is how [Russia] conducts in this space - the same concerns we have about rules-based international order and adherence, modern maritime governance,” Schultz told the think tank, which exerts major influence on US policy-making.

  • Amid Talk of a 2020 Run, Cuomo Must First Deal with 2018 - the New
    Amid Talk of a 2020 Run, Cuomo Must First Deal With 2018 - The New... https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/06/nyregion/amid-talk-of-a-2020-run... https://nyti.ms/2uxHHW6 N.Y. / REGION Amid Talk of a 2020 Run, Cuomo Must First Deal With 2018 By JESSE McKINLEY AUG. 6, 2017 ALBANY — There was a time — call it March — when Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s plans for re-election next year seemed almost an afterthought. The governor, a Democrat in his second term, was riding high on handsome approval ratings, and an enhanced national profile born of opposition to the Trump administration. The talk in many quarters about Mr. Cuomo seemingly had more to do with 2020 — when his purported, if oft-denied, presidential ambitions might bloom — rather than 2018, when he seemingly would be swept to a third term. That was then. Over the last several months, Mr. Cuomo has been politically snakebitten by the New York City subway crisis and dogged by a series of lesser hiccups, including a late budget and an extended legislative fight over mayoral control of the city’s schools. And now, it seems, potential challengers in both parties are mulling whether the governor’s sudden swoon, as indicated in two recent polls showing middling approval ratings, could mean an opening for them. Last week, the No. 2 Republican in the State Senate, John DeFrancisco, an irascible straight shooter from the Syracuse area, said he was exploring a run. Ditto for that city’s mayor, Stephanie Miner, a Democrat. The roster of possible opponents is mostly familiar to the governor, including the man he defeated in 2014, Rob Astorino, the Westchester County executive.
