By Nadia Prupis, staff writer | Meanwhile, some experts say there is a case for appointing a special prosecutor. Republicans are dismissing the mounting call to thoroughly investigate the Trump campaign’s connection with Russian intelligence, and party leadership is seemingly pushing for members to fall in line behind the president amid growing outrage.

Not Over: Trump Ban still ruining life of Iraqi Interpreter for US Military
by Megan Rose | ProPublica | – – In 2006, when I arrived at Camp Taqqadum in Iraq to embed with the U.S. Marines, I was immediately invited for tea by the unit’s interpreter. A quiet, exceedingly courteous father of three young girls, Haider told me how he spent three months at a time away […]
Trump’s Refugee Ban Is Even Crueler Than You Think
By Max Friedman | (Foreign Policy in Focus) | – – The so-called “Muslim ban” has been compared to U.S. treatment of Jewish refugees during the Holocaust. It’s actually even more draconian. The MS St. Louis, whose Jewish refugee passengers were turned away from the United States shortly before the Holocaust. (Photo: Wikimedia Commons) The […]
Trump’s Mideast Policy is clear as Pea Soup, but likely bad for Palestinians
Jacob Eriksson | (The Conversation) | – – By the standards of his turbulent time in office, President Donald Trump’s meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was relatively nondescript. In many ways, Trump’s statements to the assembled press were characteristic of the colloquial, rambling, but above all vague, policy announcements made to date. His […]
Tomorrow, they will say, “Donald Trump rants and raves at the press.”
By Juan Cole | (Informed Comment) | – – So Trump did rant and rave at the press on Thursday. But not at all the press. He has never attacked Breitbart, the vehicle for white supremacist falsehoods piloted by his Rasputin, Neofascist Steve Bannon (White House chief of strategy and National Security Council eminence grise). […]
The New Patriotism: Loving the Real America to resist Trumpism
By Frida Berrigan | ( Tomdispatch.com ) | – – So reality has inexorably, inescapably penetrated my life. It didn’t take long. Yes, Donald Trump is actually the president of the United States. In that guise, in just his first weeks in office, he’s already declared war on language, on loving, on people who are […]
How Trumpist White Supremacy Builds On Earlier Far-Right Upsurges
By Matthew N. Lyons | (TeleSur) | – – The “alt-right” network has brought together multiple currents, from neo-Nazis to men’s rights activists, right-wing anarchists to neo-reactionaries. The day after Donald Trump’s upset electoral victory over Hillary Clinton, "alt-right" founder Richard Spencer declared that his movement was "the new Trumpian vanguard" — offering ideological direction […]
Pentagon To Recommend US Deploy Ground Troops in Syria?
TeleSur | – – Countries opposed to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad will meet on Friday for the first time since Donald Trump’s U.S. administration took office. The U.S. Defense Department may recommend that the United States deploy regular combat troops to Syria to fight Islamic State group militants, CNN reported on Wednesday. The idea is […]
Human Costs of Trump’s Muslim Ban continue to Mount
By Jody Mashek | (Otherwords.org) | – – I’ve seen firsthand how the White House’s cruel ban is impacting moms and kids here in the United States. Legal challenges to Donald Trump’s “Muslim ban” are multiplying. Federal judges have suspended the order, which blocks immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries and suspends refugee settlement from everywhere, […]
