America’s Best Days Are Still Ahead – Steve Hendrix with the “Global Minute”

[Steven E. Hendrix @hendrixse]

My latest article in @RCPolitics:

"Who Defends the Constitution When America Violates the Treaties That Govern War?"

The Constitution makes Senate-ratified treaties part of the supreme law of the land. What happens when they are ignored?

Mi nuevo artículo en Latinoamérica21 analiza Paraguay, Horacio Cartes y el riesgo de que un líder se vuelva más grande que su propio partido.

La democracia necesita partidos fuertes. Pero los partidos también necesitan sucesión.

My new article in Latinoamérica21 looks at Paraguay, Horacio Cartes, and the danger that arises when one leader becomes larger than his own party.

Democracy needs strong parties. But parties also need succession.

Global Engagement Must Serve Americans – Steve Hendrix with the “Global Minute”

[Steven E. Hendrix @hendrixse]

One year ago, a friend and former USAID colleague—and thousands of other public servants—were forced out without the due process every worker deserves.

They are still fighting for their rights. Please help the USAID Employee Support Fund.

One year ago. It still feels like a death in the family. This was my take. https://t.co/8PSdyGutva

A lot of weeping and gnashing of teeth on the SCOTUS decision on birthright citizenship. Just as a reminder here is a direct quote from the US Constitution.

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside.”

Apparently the Supremes can actually read.

If you are in congress and disagree with the decision pass a constitutional amendment to change it. Whining won’t help you much.

@gfrias USAID would have been there long ago - faster, better, cheaper and much more effective and experienced. But @realDonaldTrump decided to eliminate that.

"El desafío central de Fujimori no será derrotar a la mitad del Perú que votó en contra, sino gobernar una república partida entre autoridad legal y legitimidad social".

Mi análisis más reciente sobre la elección en Perú:

La victoria de Keiko Fujimori es estrecha, histórica y frágil. La prueba ahora no será sólo contar votos, sino reconstruir confianza institucional y gobernar una república dividida.

My latest take on Peru’s election:

Keiko Fujimori’s victory is narrow, historic, and fragile. The real test now is not whether Peru can count votes, but whether it can rebuild trust in institutions and govern a divided republic.

On the #Venezuela earthquake, Pres. @realDonaldTrump wrote on Truth Social that Washington “stands ready, willing, and able to help,” adding, “We will be there for our new and great friends.” Had he not abolished #USAID, we would have already been there faster, better, cheaper.

@SpeakerJohnson Respectfully, Mr. Speaker, labeling political opponents “anti-American” instead of engaging their actual positions may be effective politics (or social media), but it is very poor leadership. Our constitutional system depends on disagreement without demonization.
