For friends thinking today about the events in Tiananmen Square in 1989, my book “Assignment China” has three chapters in which many of the journalists who covered the crackdown recall what they saw, did, and felt - and what it means.

I'm told that President Trump's attempted funding freeze caused SAMHSA officials in charge of the 988 National Suicide Hotline to study whether they have to shut it down -- even as it takes 20,000 calls a day from people in crisis. Does Trump really think that preventing suicide is woke?

When the history of this time is written, Trump will be deemed evil if he achieves even a small part of his plan to dismantle democracy. But Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg will be deemed much, much worse than that.

For those interested, my CNN team and I were the only journalists to accompany Jimmy Carter to North Korea on his historic trip in 1994- a trip which prevented a Korean war. I tell the story in my book “China Live”.

My latest.

I wanted to take today off but I think more Americans need to know this before it's forgotten by tomorrow.

"Elon Musk and JD Vance's Support of Germany's Nazi-Loving AfD Party Should Be Much Bigger News"

Elon Musk and JD Vance's Support of Germany's Nazi-Loving AfD Party Should Be Much Bigger News
Elon Musk & J.D. Vance tweeted in support of the AfD Party whose racist, anti-immigrant ideologies are shared by a terrorist who just killed 5 people in Germany. Maybe it's not "economic anxiety."
