100: In his ongoing, and so-far fruitless, efforts to convince Vladimir Putin to stop the war in Ukraine, Donald Trump reportedly asked the EU to apply 100% tariffs on India and China, the Kremlin’s most important trade partners.

Florida seeks to lift vaccine mandate

On Sept. 4 Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo announced plans to repeal childhood vaccine mandates in the state’s public schools. Ladapo likened mandates to “slavery” while Governor Ron DeSantis emphasized the importance of protecting medical freedom.

The decision makes Florida the first state in 45 years to seek to make childhood vaccines optional, and has serious implications for public health and states’ rights. Advocates cheer it as a triumph for medical freedom and parental rights, while opponents decry it as a step back in the fight against infectious disease – and, possibly, a risk to the health of the nation.

China’s giant parade sends a message to the West

Chinese President Xi Jinping hosted a massive military parade in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square earlier today, featuring 10,000 troops and a show of new weapons, including an intercontinental ballistic missile that could strike the United States mainland. The procession wrapped up a jam-packed week of diplomacy and showmanship, with some 26 foreign leaders – including Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un – in attendance. Though the display officially marked the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II – especially China’s war with Japan – the purpose was a little more contemporary: Xi wants to subvert the notion that the US is the lone global hegemonic power.
