Trump has pulled the US out of the World Health Organization – here’s why that’s sheer hypocrisy | Devi Sridhar - The Guardian

“Now is the time,” said Melania Trump, as she took to the podium on Monday morning. “This is the time.” Clearly, now and this is a time. But a time for what? “Beginning today,” Mrs. Trump said, “we will change the reality of women’s health.”It’s a bold claim, but the first lady is really underselling her husband’s efforts here. Because actually, Donald Trump started changing the reality of women’s health years ago. And the so-bad-it’s-darkly-funny detail buried within today’s supposedly “historic” executive order makes the whole thing even more absurd. In the Rose Garden Monday morning, Melania read out an oddly worded, buzzword-heavy speech about how “social norms are changing and topics that were once taboo are becoming open” (no specifics offered), about how we now have a “unique chance to reinvent women’s healthcare” (again, no specifics discussed), and how “we are women, we are resilient” and we are “deserving of lives defined not by the burdens we carry” (OK then!) Probably the most famous time the first lady went to visit a bunch of women and children was when she wore a jacket emblazoned with the words “I really don’t care, do u?” to an immigration detention center.

Local authorities say mosque was not target of attack. At least one person was killed in a shooting near a Mosque in Columbus, Ohio, according to police. The bureau of Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in Columbus, Ohio initially said its agents were “responding to a reported shooting incident at a mosque in the 2200 block of Albert Ave”. However, local police later said the shooting took place near the mosque, but the facility was not targeted. “We want to make it clear this was not an attack on the mosque,” said Sergeant James Fuqua, according to the Associated Press. He said the shooting stemmed from a dispute at an apartment building at the same location as the mosque.
