    Agreed

    Listening to the full tape of ’s call, impossible not to wonder about long-term vulnerability of American democracy as well as whether/how US will ever be able to promote democracy elsewhere again.

    This is the kind of corruption the State Department has criticized vociferously for decades when authored by foreign potentates. Trump’s abuse of power is clear, disgraceful and merits condemnation by every American.

    The U.S. under a normal set of rules would criticize other countries if a president, head of government, etc., engaged in the behavior in which Trump did.

    The Post obtained a recording of the conversation in which Trump alternately berated Raffensperger, tried to flatter him, begged him to act and threatened him with vague criminal consequences if the secretary of state refused to pursue his false claims

    The Argentina Senate earlier today approved a bill that will legalize abortion in the country. My friend weighs in on the sweeping impact this vote will have across Latin America.

    I have not seen a more impressive women’s movement than this one. They helped make Argentina democratic in the 1980s, pro human rights and pro quotas in the 90s, pro LGBT in the 2000s, and now pro choice. Women can change the world for the good of all.
