Aquí un hilo sobre mi columna de esta semana titulada "México al servicio de las guerras de Trump" en @AhoraMx_. Gracias por incluirnos @MarOliMx
🧵 1/4 A días de las elecciones intermedias del 3 de noviembre, el gobierno de Trump presiona para ampliar la cooperación contra los cárteles y permitir que personal estadounidense acompañe operaciones en territorio mexicano, según The New York Times. Guadalupe Correa-Cabrera se pregunta en esta columna a qué intereses respondería ese operativo y quién pagará las consecuencias cuando termine la campaña. Foto: Titular NYT

🇸🇻 | Bukele’s crackdown weakened MS-13 and Barrio 18 and transformed security in El Salvador. But it also left an overwhelmed prison system and allegations of abuses. How did the country change, and at what cost? Read our analysis: bit.ly/4iTK95c

AI has potential to not only increase nuclear risk but to mitigate it, writes @HerzogSM. This could give the US and China a shared purpose amid disagreements over military AI: using AI to prevent nuclear materials theft and sabotage of nuclear facilities. buff.ly/GUOgq8N

Note that the new charges against Comey are brought in an information, not an indictment, which means DOJ bypassed the grand jury. The Constitution requires charging via grand jury unless the defendant consents to an information, which does not seem to have happened here.
Pat Fitzgerald, Comey's lawyer "This most recent case involves an October 5, 2016 New York Times article that two different teams of prosecutors investigated during the first Trump administration. Both times the Government determined that no charges should be brought against anyone. Now, ten years after the article was published, the Government filed an 'Information' against Mr. Comey that was not approved by a judge nor issued by a grand jury. It purports to charge Mr. Comey with crimes that he did not commit."

Last November, a Polish rail line used to move materiel to Ukraine was sabotaged. In the event of a larger conflict, NATO would face the same challenges—but on an entirely different scale—and preparing for those challenges should begin now. mwi.westpoint.edu/every-road…
