In a video appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos yesterday, President Trump criticized Europe for what he called “unfair” trade practices and regulations. He has promised to impose tariffs on companies that choose to manufacture outside the US.

Trump’s effort to rewrite immigration law is “clearly unconstitutional,” a judge has said, temporarily suspending his order to end automatic citizenship for children born under Trump’s order.

“Honestly, I have a hard time understanding how a member of the bar can say unequivocally that this is a constitutional order,” the judge told Trump administration lawyers. “It just boggles my mind.”

At the start of his second term, Trump positioned himself as the global face of hard-line conservative populism. Trump falls on the fringes of the right wing and has promised changes — like deporting millions of undocumented immigrants — that many of his admirers in Europe have shunned.

The nearly three-year war between Russia and Ukraine has killed many Russian soldiers, but Russia is still winning.

According to some independent estimates, Russia has lost twice as many men in deaths and serious injuries as Ukraine, but a much larger population and more aggressive recruitment methods have allowed Moscow to replace losses much faster.

The Russian army is also fighting on the front of the North Korean army. More than 400,000 Russians face about 250,000 Ukrainians, and the difference between the army is increasing.

“The fat man is getting smaller,” says one military analyst. “But the thin die.”

Since the cease-fire began on Sunday, Hamas has been working to show that it is still in control of Gaza.

A mass wedding in Thailand ushered in a new era of same-sex couples being legally allowed to marry for the first time. Hundreds of people attended the ceremony, which took place in Bangkok’s largest shopping mall.

The Oscars feature several nominations for films that are not widely seen but are rooted in progressive politics. Carla Sofia Gascón, who won best actress for “Emilia Perez,” a musical that explores trans identity and Mexico’s drug wars, became the first openly trans actress to be nominated. The film led the pack with a total of 13 nominations.

“The Brutalist,” a three-and-a-half-hour study of immigrant trauma, was presented in 10 nominations. Demi Moore is back in action, up for Best Actress in “The Substance.” “It’s a very complicated collection,” awards season columnist Kyle Buchanan told us. “It also makes a lot of Oscar history.”
