American elected officials answer to their constituents, not the Chinese Communist Party. That includes Indiana's State Treasurer. Beijing has no business trying to dictate how Americans conduct their lawful affairs.

After only 10 months of medical training, Johanna was designated a doctor by Cuba, then trafficked abroad as part of its “medical brigades” — a forced-labor, fundraising, and propaganda mechanism for the Cuban regime. Her family never received her promised salary, but did receive threats from the government after she (courageously) escaped. When she was rescued, she weighed 80lbs.

I asked what she felt and thought about the United States before fleeing here — since she was raised in a closed, propagandized media environment. She told me matter-of-factly that she had always known America was “the only hope.”

For many people born into totalitarianism, the United States remains a distinct beacon of freedom. There is simply nowhere else to go. Inspires pride and humility at the same time.

Incredible Dia de Muertos in Mexico City!

A lot of Americans think Day of the Dead is like “Mexican Halloween,” but it’s really a syncretic Catholic/mesoamerican tradition based on joyous prayers for, and tributes to, ancestors.

The annual CDMX parade is a new addition inspired by a 2016 James Bond film, thus a fun testament to US/UK/MX cultural exchange.

I enjoyed marigold-pumpkin ice cream, “bread of the dead,” and a gorgeous lakeside ballet. My makeup by local artist Esmeralda evokes “Catrina,” a popular aristocratic icon of this holiday.

¡La cultura también une a nuestros países! 🇺🇸🤝🇲🇽

La Subsecretaria de Estado para Diplomacia Pública, Sarah B. Rogers (@UnderSecPD) visitó la #CDMX para celebrar el #DíaDeMuertos. Se vistió de Catrina y disfrutó del Gran Desfile, conociendo de cerca esta emblemática tradición mexicana.

La administración del presidente Trump reconoce el intercambio cultural como una herramienta para fortalecer la relación entre Estados Unidos y México. 💀🌼

¡Gracias al @GobCDMX, a @soyelcharromexican y a @esmeraldahinojosaarellano por compartirnos la magia de esta gran celebración!

These look like good policies re: transparency, which many regulators cite as a goal of social media regulation
