Markos Kounalakis, writing in Washington Monthly, explains that Cuba’s 65-year-old Communist regime – “one of the world’s longest-surviving single-party states and the oldest in the Western Hemisphere” – is on its last legs.

Says Kounalakis: “President Donald Trump and his team have all but said that they want to topple the government just as soon as he receives Iran’s ‘unconditional surrender.’”

Allum Bokhari, writing in The American Conservative, illuminates a Colorado state bill claiming to create “a shield against ‘algorithmic discrimination’” that would force AI companies to generate outputs based on government-imposed racial, and other identity-based, quotas.
