Hillary Clinton made waves with her “basket of deplorables” comment in 2016, but she may have been on to something, says @LilyMasonPhD. “It’s not that all Trump supporters hold these attitudes, it’s more that people who hold these attitudes are Trump supporters.”

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the protests in Cuba can’t be blamed on the U.S.’s economic embargo (which just so happens to be the longest in modern history).
Adds @JMVivancoHRW: “Blaming the embargo, I don't think it’s accurate, I don’t think it’s fair.”
