Noting that Trump and Netanyahu are cut from the same strongman authoritarian cloth, Robert Reich says,

"If Trump continues to badmouth witnesses and jurors, Merchan should jail him. If Netanyahu orders an invasion of Rafah, Biden should cut off all military aid to Israel.

It’s time to stop coddling these authoritarians."

Stand up to Trump and Bibi

Judge Merchan must jail Trump, Biden must stop sending weapons to Netanyahu

In yet another bad sign for #democracy:

#Netanyahu has essentially banned #FreePress in #Israel. His cabinet *voted* to kick #AlJazeera out of Israel says its #journalists are threats to #NationalSecurity.

I guess the pen truly is mightier than the sword & all that.
