Lessons in Democracy From F.C. Porto
  + stars: | 2024-04-26 | by ( Rory Smith | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Few, though, will prove quite so virulent — or offer quite such an instructive case study of the state of democracy in 2024 — as the one to decide who gets to be president of F.C. Like dozens of clubs around Europe, Porto — one of the three great houses of Portuguese soccer — is owned by its members. Only a small percentage of members vote. The choice is usually between two essentially indistinguishable old men, when there is a choice at all. Until the last round of elections, in 2020, Porto had been a democracy in only the most nominal sense.

Opinion: Mitch McConnell’s unconditional surrender
  + stars: | 2024-02-29 | by ( Julian Zelizer | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +9 min
CNN —Mitch McConnell has bowed to political reality and announced that he is relinquishing his role as leader of Senate Republicans. (Chao served as transportation secretary under former President Donald Trump, before quitting the post following the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol.) The anti-Trump coalition within the Republican Party is small and hanging on by a thread, and there is little chance of that changing in the short term. Now, one of Haley’s most generous benefactors, the conservative political action committee Americans for Prosperity, funded by the Koch network, has withdrawn its funds. And now, like other Trump opponents, Romney finds himself heading for the exit at the end of his current term.

Trump called on Republicans in an all-caps tirade to "DEFUND THE DOJ AND FBI" on Wednesday. It was a remarkable comment from Trump, who built his brand around bolstering law enforcement. His Truth Social rant came after he was indicted on 34 felony counts by the Manhattan DA's office. His tirade came one day after he was arraigned in downtown Manhattan after the Manhattan DA's office indicted him on 34 felony counts of falsification of business records. But Trump and his lawyers deny knowledge of the payment, and Trump has also denied the alleged affair.
