Jurists accuse Bukele’s government of ‘crimes against humanity’ in El Salvador El Salvador President Nayib Bukele plans to build a city called Bitcoin City as he encourages his country to use the digital currency. Reuters via BBC A group of international jurists accused, this Tuesday (10), the government of the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, of committing "crimes against humanity", such as torture and disappearances, in its war against gangs. The country is in a state of exception that allows arrests without a court order. In almost four years, the government arrested around 90,000 people.

These lawmakers were shaped by combat after 9/11. Now they're grappling with a new Mideast war As Congress responds to President Donald Trump’s attack on Iran, lawmakers who served on the front lines of Iraq and Afghanistan are making their voices heard.

Unjustified and lacking cause, our conflict with Iran is an unconstitutional preemptive war of choice TFG hadn't tried to make even the feeblest case for and then, in the immediacy of its initial violent toll, embarked on a trainwreck of incoherent rationalizations for it.
