Salvini cut off all aid for immigrants, which hit Sicily very hard. Now that he is out, people are starting to help immigrants again.

121,000 immigrants in one year, as occurred in 2017, is not a real burden. At that rate, the population of Italy would double in 500 years. But if we don't curb global heating, in a few decades it could become a million per year, or ten million.

For the first time, the House of Representatives voted to cancel the 2020 Authorization for Use of Military Force.

However, even if the Senate passes this too, the mutilator can veto it. This is treated like an ordinary bill.

That seems nonsensical to me. Since the AUMF is Congressional permission for the president to make war, Congress should be able to withdraw that permission on its own; it should not require the president's approval.

Does anyone understand why it isn't treated that way?

The mutilator has deployed a "low-yield" nuclear weapon on a Trident missile on a submarine. This threatens to lower the political and moral threshold against starting nuclear war.

I suspect it is also a stunt. It doesn't make practical sense to put such small warheads on an expensive Trident missile.

The EPA approved glyphosate again.

This may not be as wrong as it seems. There is evidence that glyphosate is not carcinogenic by itself, but becomes carcinogenic when combined with other ingredients of Roundup. If that proves true, it might be valid to rule that glyphosate is not carcinogenic, and rule separately that Roundup _is_ carcinogenic.

But I don't think the EPA is going to do the second half of that.

Roundup has other dangers, too.

Coronavirus is stimulating bigotry against Chinese people.
