| It was a Republican National Committee meeting that will live in infamy, and perhaps in history. The RNC's decision Friday to rebrand deadly mob violence at the U.S. Capitol as "legitimate political discourse" and censure two GOP House members investigating the attack has exposed a party so divided against itself that, as Abraham Lincoln told his fellow Republicans in 1858, it cannot stand. |
| Back then he presented the existential choice as preserving slavery or preserving the Union. Today, the choice is between preserving Trumpism or preserving the Republican Party. |
| There is increasing evidence that they cannot co-exist. The resolution adopted by the RNC in Salt Lake City has unleashed a torrent of protest from Republicans and former Republicans including, as of Tuesday, sharp comments from Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell. |

| Nearly six months since the completion of the international withdrawal from Afghanistan, Afghan women and girls have seen a steady elimination of their rights and status within society. |
| The news cycle has moved on. Taliban oppression has not. |
| As the crisis in Ukraine and the Beijing Olympics divert attention from the ongoing circumstances in Afghanistan, global solidarity for Afghan women is critical. The situation, while dire, is not hopeless if the international community acts quickly. |
