New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has just signed into law a groundbreaking bill that makes the Empire State the first in the nation—and the world—to designate giraffes as a vulnerable species and ban the trade in their body parts. The bill also offers similar protections to other animal species fast heading toward extinction, including the hippopotamus, seven species of pangolins and the star tortoise. Assemblymember Steve Englebright and Sen.Monica Martinez introduced the measure last year after a shocking undercover investigation by the Humane Society of the United States and Humane Society International found giraffe parts and products sold online

Marjorie Taylor Greene warns the ‘dam is breaking’ in the GOP and slams Trump for being tone deaf on multiple issues

By Aleena Fayaz, CNN (CNN) — GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Tuesday slammed President Donald Trump for his comments on the murders of Rob and Michele Reiner, as she predicted more Republicans will follow her lead in breaking with Trump. “I thought that statement was absolutely completely below the office of the president of the United States, classless, and it was just wrong,” Greene told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on “The Source.” Trump on Monday in a Truth Social post lambasted the beloved director for his left-leaning politics and suggested Reiner had brought his demise upon himself. “MAGA faithful reacted

‘Blind Into Caracas.’ – by James Fallows

Vance, most Republicans block Senate resolution to curb Trump’s Venezuela efforts

U.S. Senate Republicans blocked a resolution on Wednesday that would have barred U.S. President Donald Trump from further military action in Venezuela without authorization from Congress, after the Republican president pressured party members who had supported ​it. The vote was 51-50 for a Republican point of order to dismiss the war powers resolution, as just three of Trump’s Republicans voted with every Democrat in favour of moving ahead and Vice-President JD Vance came to the Capitol to break the tie. Opponents had argued that the resolution should not move ahead because the U.S. does not currently have troops on the

Washington’s China consensus is breaking

US discourse on China policy is slowly but decidedly expanding on account of two factors: the increased influence of President Donald Trump in formulating it, and a growing recognition among observers, including current and former senior government officials, that the United States can only do so much to slow China’s technological progress and organise a counterbalancing coalition.  The Overton window on US policy towards China is expanding.
