We are witnessing with despair the iniquitous use of hunger as a weapon of war. Burning crops, stealing livestock, and blocking aid are tactics increasingly used by armed militias.

Chris Wallace just drained the energy from CNN's studio, announcing Trump may soon have the chance to reshape the U.S. government.
