Argentina has a unique opportunity to become one of the largest copper producers — and prove it is stable enough to attract and reward big, long-term investments, says @JPSpinetto

As America keeps firing or intimidating its diplomats, spies and analysts, Russia, China and others must be doing cartwheels, says @andreaskluth

What do you want to know?.

All the dudes who voted for Trump even though they knew he was a lying SOS because they worried about a "woke" Kamala: You know she was going to tack to the center, right? Cuz she was a pol, not a 79-year-old whack job burning down the Republic to restore high-flow showerheads.

Amen to that, brother.

Stupid is as stupid does, and Darwin always wins: Burkina Faso suspended a Gates Foundation-funded research program aimed at stopping the spread of malaria after the initiative drew criticism from anti-Western activists

The US is an accessory to murder, again: An Israeli strike on Southern Gaza’s main hospital reportedly killed at least 20 people, including journalists from Reuters, the Associated Press, and Al Jazeera. Israel said it regretted any harm to “uninvolved individuals.”.

Eugenics has an even stronger likelihood of going darkly awry now than it did a century ago, says @adwooldridge

Tax and mow: "One of the things we're going to be redoing is your parks. I'm very good at grass because I have a lot of golf courses all over the place," Trump said. "And we're going to be re-grassing all of your parks, all brand new sprinkler systems." #MadKingDon.

Also strange: that Trump, who has been convicted of civil fraud, whacked with a fine in hundreds of millions, and barred from running his business, should say someone who has not been investigated, let alone tried and convicted, should resign.

Everything is going according to plan! "President Trump’s tariff war is accelerating Beijing’s trade and investment push into developing nations known as the Global South, according to research by S&P Global"

Fixing Bolivia's economic disaster will be like climbing the Andes, but its voters took a big first step by backing reform, says @JPSpinetto

Trump's summitry makes for great visuals, but it hasn't changed the reality for Ukrainians dying in a war that Putin started and continues, says @andreaskluth

"Unlike his predecessors, Trump didn’t divest or move his assets into a blind trust with an independent overseer. His sprawling business empire is managed by two of his sons and operates in several areas that intersect with presidential policy."

US already screens for "good moral character," with a specific set of criteria and legal definitions set out in the INA. "Positive contributions" is a highly subjective and scary prospect. It seems even to go beyond the much misunderstood Chicoms' "social credit" system. Ruh-roh!.

USCIS's plans to screen citizenship applicants for “good moral character,” defined by an individual’s “behavior, adherence to societal norms, and positive contributions” is creepy and bears close watching.

"As Soho House’s experience shows, it’s hard to be both private and non-exclusive at the same time," says @allisonschrager. The members-only club's business strategy was never well-suited to public markets

"Omitting girly statistics obscures the complete economic picture by failing to capture the realities of the modern workforce." Yo, Feds: Pay attention to the numbers on unpaid work in the home, or pay the price, says @Bethkowitt

All hail Marco Rubio, diplomatic genius for whom the only two countries that matter are Venezuela and Cuba.

Shot: With his plan to abolish mail-in voting, Trump is continuing his quest for ways to manipulate the midterms. Chaser: eliminating it would probably hurt Republicans more than it would help them in next year’s midterm elections, says @maryellenklas
