Highlights: Supporters of Evo Morales have cut off the routes in his bastion, the coca-growing area of Chapare, for an indefinite period of time. They demand that the judges of the high courts, including those of the TCP who made it impossible for Morales to run again, resign from their positions.

While on the campaign trail, President Joe Biden spoke with some “Syrian American activists” who favor increased sanctions on the country as well as regime change in Damascus, during a private fundraiser in Maryland last month.
