ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) — President Donald Trump on Sunday night said he has “no problem” with a Russian oil tanker off the coast of Cuba delivering relief to the island, which has been brought to its knees by a U.S. oil blockade.
On April 1, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in Trump v. Barbara, otherwise known as the birthright-citizenship case. It stems from a January 2025 Trump executive order that attempts to redefine the 14th Amendment of the Constitution in a way that no longer grants automatic citizenship to anyone born inside the United States. It was blocked by district courts across America, but the Supreme Court will make the ultimate call.

In recent years, we have witnessed an unprecedented wave of protests marked by mass energy and widespread resistance against the Trump administration. "No Kings" showed mass energy and broad revulsion against him. Yet, these impressive marches alone cannot dismantle the entrenched power that Trump has amassed. To translate this fervor into sustainable PROGRESSIVE change, we must transform protest energy into organized institutions and electoral power.

In his classic book “Understanding Media,” Marshall McLuhan dwells on the Greek myth of Narcissus. If it’s been a while since you’ve read it, the story, in Ovid’s telling, goes like this: Narcissus is born gorgeous, the son of the river god Cephissus and the nymph Liriope.

What are we watching here but a tangled flow of weapons, intelligence, and strategy reshaping a regional war into a proxy-driven contest? The principal actors are Iran and Israel at the center of the fighting, with the United States backing Israel and Russia acting as a pivotal external supplier and intelligence partner to Iran. Other regional proxies — notably the Houthis in Yemen — are now striking directly at Israel, expanding the battlefield. Is this the prelude to a World War? Or the beginning of another Vietnam War for the United States of America?
