If the Trump Administration Wants More Babies, It Shouldn’t Let Poor Families Go Hungry

/

The Trump administration is thinking about your family. This may come as a surprise, given that dozens of states and a coalition of nonprofits, local governments, and religious groups had to sue to compel the Department of Agriculture to release funding Congress set aside to keep food assistance (SNAP benefits) flowing to America’s poorest during a crisis, like the ongoing shutdown. (The […]

An Atrocity of War Goes Unpunished

/

In November 2005, a group of US Marines killed 24 civilians in Haditha, Iraq. The case against them became one of the most high-profile war crimes prosecutions in US history—but then it fell apart.
