“Fostering the Future,” which aims to support young people aging out of the foster-care system, is paired with an effort to put the religious rights of people who wish to foster above the civil rights of L.B.G.T.Q.+ youth.

For Trump, “Fostering the Future” Looks a Lot Like the Past
By putting the religious rights of potential foster parents above the civil rights of L.G.B.T.Q. youth, a new executive order reënacts the original sin of the child-welfare system.

South Carolina’s measles outbreak isn’t yet as large as those in other states, such as New Mexico, Arizona, and Kansas. But it highlights a confluence of larger trends — including historically low vaccination rates, skepticism fueled by the pandemic, misinformation, and “health freedom” ideologies.

Of course, no one seems willing to hold him accountable. A judge in Georgia has now dismissed the last remaining criminal case against Trump, effectively ending any effort to hold him criminally responsible for trying to overturn the 2020 election.
