🇸🇩🇺🇸 Sen. Van Hollen blasts the Trump administration for selling arms to the UAE while its Sudan allies continue to massacre children, pointing to the RSF attack on a kindergarten yesterday that killed at least 80 people, including 46 children (latest update from AJE).
The RSF just attacked a kindergarten, killing at least 33 children in Sudan.
Meanwhile, the Trump Admin. continues to sell arms to the UAE, who are aiding these atrocities.
Imagine if Trump spent as much time trying to stop the killing, as he did getting the UAE to invest in his crypto coin.

This Netflix merger proposal with Warner Bros/HBO is really terrible. The Trump administration may do the right thing for the wrong reason, by trying to stage-manage a team-up with Paramount. The real question is, why can't Warner Bros. just make good stuff and show it at a profit?
Netflix Aims for Entertainment Domination - The American Prospect
Fewer streaming options, or a streaming landscape where two of the three largest outlets have the same corporate parent, likely means a continuation of the price hikes that we’re already seeing.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.
