The troll is leading Republicans to oppose freedom of the press.

The State Department has just eliminated the mission of promoting democracy from its statement of mission.

If global heating proceeds unchecked, fatal humid heat waves could kill 3/4 of the population of India by the end of this century.

The first fatal heat waves could start much sooner than that. It only takes one of them to leave a city or even a region empty of humans.
