The new Congress must fight back Trump's ongoing attacks on bipartisan global HIV programs: quotes from me for @npr.org on the urgent need for newly empowered lawmakers to cut through the performative bullshit in the America First Global Health Strategy www.npr.org/2026/11/06/n...

Trump's global health strategy is emerging. What will the Democratic Congress say?

The Trump Administration has ushered in a fundamental shift in the U.S. approach to global health aid. How will the newly elected Democratic Congress weigh in?

“Country by country, the Trump administration has been negotiating secretive agreements with nations across Africa to provide health aid under strict conditions. The agreements, structured to benefit the United States, are undermining efforts to prepare the world for the next pandemic”

Let me tell you about Russell Brand, as someone who helped the journalists who eventually exposed him. In 2013/4, Brand started to become interested in progressive politics. He said progressive things publicly, went on Newsnight etc. At the time I was involved in progressive grassroots work myself.

Correct. Job #1 over the next two years is blame, blame, blame. Everything is the fault of Trump, his Cabinet, and Republicans. This is (1) true; (2) will continue to be true; and (3) must be reiterated and reinforced at every opportunity. None of this "work with" nonsense. Don't share his blame.

It now seems clear the US public in 2024 did not know what Trump actually stood for. They found out. And hate Trumpism. A major challenge over the next two years will be to keep the toxic Trump agenda front and center.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

Hi Patrick- I'm reaching out regarding a story NYT published yesterday by Michael Gold titled "Democrats Call for Special Counsel to Scrutinize Trump ties to Epstein." It's about a report published yesterday by the House Judiciary Democrats further detailing President Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein and new details about allegations of rape against Trump.  One such allegation is from a Swiss model named Beatrice Keul, who the report says alleges in 1993 Trump "grabbed Keul from behind and forcibly raped her; in the process, tearing her dress and causing bleeding and bruising on multiple parts of her body.” These details are new, yet they didn't appear anywhere in Gold's story. In fact, the word "rape" does not appear in the story even once, despite multiple allegations. The story seems much more focused on the timing of the reports—a week before Election Day—and much less concerned with the gruesome details. As someone who read all 53 pages of the report, I would like to understand NYT's avoidance of the word "rape" in a story about a report concerning rape allegations. If you could explain the rationale, I think it would be quite useful for me and for others. Thank you, Marisa
