Reporters Without Borders warns press freedom has fallen to its lowest level since the group began publishing its annual World Press Freedom Index in 2002. The index has charted how press freedoms have deteriorated in the United States and elsewhere over the past 25 years. The U.S. was ranked 17th in the world in 2002. In the latest index, the U.S. is down to 64th, falling seven places since last year.
"It's tempting to lay all of this at the feet of President Donald Trump, and to be clear, he is the single biggest threat to American press freedom today," says Clayton Weimers, the North America director for Reporters Without Borders. "But the mere fact that we fell from 57th last year tells us that this isn't just a Trump problem. We have structural deficiencies that are imperiling the future of press freedom in this country." Weimers cites these deficiencies as the consolidation of U.S. media and loss of journalism jobs, "emboldened" politicians' attacks on reporters, and violence against journalists by law enforcement agents.
Weimers also comments on the January FBI raid on the home of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson, the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner shooting and Israel's attacks on journalists in Lebanon and Gaza.

We speak with Middle East history professor Toby Jones about the ongoing crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, where overlapping blockades by Iran and the United States have disrupted shipping and the wider global economy since the start of the war in late February. Jones says this latest conflict is part of a decadeslong project by the United States to exert imperial control over the oil-rich region, but that it's now in danger of a strategic loss signaling a deeper imperial decline.
"Through an unprovoked assault on Iran, Trump has accelerated, or at least clarified, the real limits of American imperial power," says Jones. "He's definitely put the United States in a much more vulnerable and weakened position globally as a result of this war."

We speak with Lebanese-born academic Gilbert Achcar about the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, U.S. foreign policy under President Trump and more. Achcar says Trump's military actions in Venezuela and Iran are not as dramatic a departure from U.S. policy as some commentators have suggested, calling it "an old-new imperial doctrine." While the George W. Bush administration believed in "regime change," says Achcar, Trump is "just going back to 19th-century gunboat diplomacy: You bomb a country until they submit."
Achcar's new book is Gaza Catastrophe: The Genocide in World-Historical Perspective.

 Illustration by Eric Faison/The Daily Beast/Reuters The billionaires are having their say this election cycle.
A Forbes report revealed Wednesday that more than 100 billionaires have publicly thrown their support—and, for many, their cash—behind either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump.
A majority of these deep-pocketed donors quietly favor Harris, Forbes reported, while some of Trump's billionaire backers—like Elon Musk, the richest man in the world—are incredibly vocal about where their loyalty lies.
