Cuts to international climate-resilience funds and decimating the institutions that deliver it does not put America first. The small savings it produces are temporary and the costs will resurface in supply chain disruption, migratory pressure, worsened security threats, and costly disaster-response.

Reliance on threatened use of force results in an unstable equilibrium that tends to generate more severe conflict. Repressive, coercive means erode trust and cooperation, leading to resentment and resistance, not genuine consent. Imposing such conditions will thus produce lasting negative effects.

NEW from me — I broke down Trump's claim on local right wing radio that the US carried out a Christmas Eve land strike in Venezuela, how he doubled down Monday, the subsequent media reports with no substance, the potential role of social media rumors about an actual fire, and how we need the truth:
Trump says US bombed alleged drug facility in Venezuela. No one knows if it’s true.
It could be a lie from social media, or a conflation of other stories. Either way, Americans need to know.
