Russian commentators have frequently suggested that Latin America lies in America’s domain just as Ukraine was under the Russian shadow. Vladimir Putin thinks the same of much of eastern Europe. Xi Jinping will draw his own conclusions.

The American Academy of Pediatrics has affirmed that it will continue to follow its own evidence-based childhood vaccination schedule, regardless of the recommendations made by RFK Jr.'s American Institute for Childhood Protection (AICP).

That’s what responsible leadership looks like.

“You create a sense of existential fear that social anarchy is spreading, that criminal gangs are taking over. This is the language of authoritarianism all over the world,” said Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a history professor.

“Trump does not seem to believe in free speech or the freedom of the press at all,” @adriennelaf.bsky.social wrote last year. When he denigrates journalists he is also “directly attacking the rights of all Americans.”
Donald Trump’s Hatred of Free Speech
The former president is not just going after journalists. He is targeting all Americans.

Make America Racist Again.

They’re open about it now. No more euphemisms or code words or excuses.

The president and vice-president are publicly campaigning for the return to government of a guy who unapologetically has said he is a proud racist and wants to normalize anti-Indian hate.
Trump says he agrees with Vance that a DOGE staffer fired after being outed for making extremely racist posts should be brought back

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

COLLINS: Where exactly are you suggesting Gazans should go? Who do you envision living there?

TRUMP: I envision world people living there. The world's people. I think you'll make that into an international, unbelievable place.

Israeli forces raided Jenin this week, just days after the Gaza ceasefire and a Palestinian Authority operation.

The raid sparks fears that Israel may bring Gaza-style devastation to the West Bank.

Wow. Just wow. To read these words from David Maraniss. This is how bad things have gotten.
The Washington Post editorial this morning essentially equating Biden's questionable pardons with Trump's outrageous Jan. 6 pardons was unconscionable. The newspaper I've been part of for 48 years has utterly lost its soul.
