"No Military Solution": Is Peace Possible in Sudan as "Proxy War" Expands?

The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces in Sudan, backed by the United Arab Emirates, is accused of attempting to cover up its mass killings of civilians by burning and burying bodies, according to a new report by Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab. This comes as drone strikes have plunged several cities into darkness, including Khartoum and the coastal city of Port Sudan. “We have the expansion of the war through Darfur, El Fasher, now Western Kordofan, which is an extremely important region economically. … And now we have this potential of the expansion of this war to South Sudan,” says Sudanese scholar Khalid Mustafa Medani. “We have a humanitarian crisis that has expanded, but we also have a military stalemate.”

Meet Tania Nemer, Fired Immigration Judge Suing Trump Admin Amid Purge of Immigration Court System

Former immigration judge Tania Nemer, who was fired in February, is now suing the Trump administration, alleging that she was discriminated against despite strong performance reviews.

The system is notoriously backlogged, with more than 3 million cases pending. “I was pulled away in the middle of the hearing,” she says. Nemer filed a discrimination complaint with the Department of Justice, which officials dismissed, citing Article II of the Constitution on presidential powers. “I’ve been practicing employment law and representing federal employees for almost 30 years, and I have never seen a federal agency dismiss a complaint for this reason,” says Nemer’s attorney, James Eisenmann.

"Divorced from Reality": Economist Dean Baker Fact-Checks Trump's Primetime Speech

President Trump praised the state of the U.S. economy in a primetime address Wednesday evening, even though new government statistics show the nation’s unemployment rate is at a new four-year high of 4.6%. Dean Baker, senior economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Research, says Trump’s aides should be “wondering about the man’s sanity” after Wednesday’s speech. “This is utterly divorced from reality.” Though Trump blames former President Biden for the poor economy, Baker notes that Trump had inherited an “incredibly strong economy by almost every measure imaginable.”
