Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Trump Cuts Deal A Blow To HIV/AIDS Prevention In Chicago

Since HIV and AIDS were first declared an epidemic in the 1980s, numerous non-profit, private, and federal organizations have been created to combat the disease. But many Black-LED HIV and AIDS organizations struggle to cover operating costs as they work on prevention, education, and case management. As the Trump Administration makes drastic cuts to HIV/AIDS prevention funding, organizations that serve the communities on the frontlines of this crisis face an uncertain future. On today’s Reset, we hear about the current state of the HIV-AIDS fight in Chicago, and why we see a funding gap between Black-led and other organizations. Today’s panel: Timothy Jackson, director of policy and advocacy for the AIDS Foundation of Chicago; and Hannah Peewee, associate director of communications for Taskforce Prevention and Community Services.

The Daily Signal - Victor Davis Hanson: What the Left Gets Wrong About Trump-Putin Summit

Victor Davis Hanson puts the summit in historical perspective and compares Trump’s diplomacy to past U.S. presidents on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”


“ It begs the question, do you have any collective memory? The Ukraine war started when Vladimir Putin invaded the Crimea and Donbas under the presidency of Barack Obama. Remember the hot mic in Seoul, where he said, 'Tell Vladimir that if he gives me space for my last election, I'll be flexible on missile defense'? Do you remember that? He also invaded, as you remember, in Joe Biden's tenure. He tried to take Kyiv. He didn't during Donald Trump's four years.


“ All I'm asking them is, please give us an alternative strategy. How long do you wanna fight? Who is gonna fight? How many deaths, wounded are you willing to incur to push Vladimir Putin all the way back to where he was prior to the invasion of 2014, when Barack Obama allowed him to come in? Just a question.”

State of the World from NPR - The “White Walkers” of Gaza

In the Gaza Strip thousands of exhausted, hungry people seek meager food at a distribution site in the north. Those lucky enough to get one of the sacks of white flour given out are called “white walkers”, a reference to zombie-like characters in the television show "Game of Thrones". But many leave empty-handed and simply seeking the food aid is dangerous and often deadly. We go to one of these sites to see the dangers hungry Palestinians will face in search of food.
