New U.K. Prime Minister Andy Burnham rose through the ranks of the Labour party to become Prime Minister without winning a single General Election. So how did he do it?

In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with theoretical physicist and philosopher of physics Maaneli Derakhshani for a long look at the anomalous features cataloged across the moon, Phobos and the surface of Mars. The conversation opens with Lue Elizondo's remarks on lunar anomalies, then works outward to the Phobos 2 ******* ecraft and the object NASA's own mission literature once described as a monolith along with the reason SETI took that object seriously enough to study.
From there, Max walks Ross through the imagery that has drawn the most attention on Mars, from the so-called glass worm to the rectilinear formations near the Atlantis basin, applying the same fractal ******* ysis that NASA and the Department of Defense use to separate natural terrain from engineered structures. Grounding the discussion in Carl Sagan's own standards for searching for evidence of past life, Max makes the case that some of these features deserve to be treated as genuine open questions rather than tricks of light and shadow. The episode closes on the face on Mars and the geometric relationships between formations that, Max argues, may have been meant to be seen.

Democratic-led states are racing to safeguard November's midterm elections against potential interference from the Trump administration and its allies, passing new laws that restrict the presence of law enforcement at polling places or seek to thwart the federal government's efforts to obtain sensitive election material.
Five states – California, Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland and Washington state — have recently enacted legislation to shield their elections from federal actions, according to the Voting Rights Lab, which tracks election-related legislation, and CNN's research.
Sponsors say they are responding to President Donald Trump's continued rhetoric about fraud in voting and the administration's increasingly aggressive moves to reshape how voting is conducted. The US Constitution gives states the primary task of running elections and Congress the power to set the ground rules for federal contests.
"It's infuriating that the Trump administration believes they can ignore the Constitution of the United States and try to take over our elections," said Maryland state Sen. Cynthia Kagan, a Democrat who co-sponsored a new law aimed at maintaining the state's deadline for counting mail-in ballots that are received after Election Day.
Since returning to the White House last year, the president has repeatedly tried to single handedly change election procedures as his attempts to muscle through new voting restrictions have faltered in Congress.

Co-hosts of "The View" feuded on-air over whether Democrats should hold their noses and support Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner as he remains embroiled in multiple controversies.
"Yesterday, I was sort of on the fence," co-host Sunny Hostin recalled. "I’m like, ‘Character matters, morals matter. I can’t believe that this is the person in Maine to take on Susan Collins.’ I’m now convinced that we are really in a bad place in this country. Democrats have to take over the Senate. They have to take over the House. They have to bring some semblance of normalcy back to this government."
"If I lived in Maine, I would hold my nose and I would pull that lever and vote for him," she concluded. "That’s it."
"I vehemently and strongly disagree with this," co-host Sara Haines replied. "I knew you would," Hostin retorted.
