Donald Trump visited Washington D.C. this week for the first time since he, as president, inflicted its Capitol with an insurrection on January 6, 2020, due to losing reelection weeks earlier, and departed the place in haste and a huff two weeks later, on Inauguration Day. It is being reported by various sources that Trump met with a group of House Republicans and said to them, “Milwaukee, where we are having our convention, is a horrible city.” He meant the... Read more

It begins with these two paragraphs, “The origin of the Covid virus remains the pandemic’s biggest mystery. Did the virus jump to human beings from animals being sold at a food market in Wuhan, China? Or did the virus leak from a laboratory in Wuhan? “U.S. officials remain divided. The F.B.I. and the Department of... Read more

Last updated on: June 5, 2024 at 9:08 pm   By Kermit Zarley

This letter was co-signed by ninety human rights and civil rights organizations.... Read more
