I guess we may soon see how strong this law is.

Separation of Powers and NATO Withdrawal, 2023:

"In 2023, Congress enacted a law that prohibits the President from "suspend[ing], terminat[ing], denounc[ing], or withdraw[ing] the United States from the North Atlantic Treaty"—which established the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)—without the advice and consent of the Senate or an act of Congress."

A federal appeals court paused a lower-court order requiring the Trump administration to reinstate Voice of America staff placed on paid leave after the president moved to shutter the agency. The ruling blocks roughly 1,000 VOA journalists from returning to work in the near term.

Scarcity of mental health resources, prevalence of guns, and stigma all contribute to the region's high suicide rates.

Minerals for aid: Are new US health deals ‘exploiting’ African countries?

"In late 2025 after the United States shocked the world by suspending global health aid and experts said it would lead to 700,000 more deaths, mostly of children, each year, Washington began proposing unusual bilateral health agreements to developing countries that have infuriated officials and health activists alike.

Critics said the deals, mostly made with African nations, smack of “exploitation” while at least two of the countries in dire need of health aid have pushed back against them.

In November, the US approached Zimbabwean authorities, promising more than $300m in funding in return for sensitive health data in negotiations that Harare felt were “lopsided” and promptly pulled out of, according to memos leaked in recent weeks.

About the same time, the US publicly announced $1bn in funding for neighbouring Zambia pending talks. However, Lusaka, too, called out “problematic” clauses in the US proposal that sought access to the country’s minerals and has since requested a review, according to statements from officials in early March."

This is another example of their shamelessness. Anybody else would find it hard to beg for help when he’d just spent a year threatening allies, imposing tariffs on them, and telling them how unnecessary they were. Not Trump. Not Hegseth. Their memory of history is about one week long and no sense of irony or shame inhibits them.

Interview: "Trump’s Iran Strategy: Bluff, Blackmail or Real War?"

The Americans had "a poor assessment, not only of Iranian capabilities, but, more importantly, of Iran's willingness to match Israel & American aggression step by step."

~Mouin Rabbani, analyst

"This war is not just about Iran—it’s about shifting global power, the future of the Middle East, & the fate of Palestine."

"Congress🚨Hasn’t Funded #TSA’s Paychecks & That Should Matter"

"The approps lapse here stems not from disagreements about the amt of #DHS funding (regrettably) but🚨from disagreements about IMM enf policy conds on that funding.🚨It's Congress’s power & resp to guide & constrain the execbranch in its exercise of the authority Congress delegates, and withholding or conditioning funds is one of Congress’s most meaningful points of levage."
