U.S. indicts Cuba's Raúl Castro for murder over downing of planes in 1996

Former Cuban leader Raúl Castro was indicted by a U.S. grand jury in connection with the Cuban military's fatal downing of two planes in 1996 — an escalation in the U.S. pressure campaign against the Cuban government.
Joe Walsh / Wed, May 20, 2026 at 2:37 PM GMT-5
Washington — Federal prosecutors in Florida on Wednesday unsealed an indictment charging former Cuban leader Raúl Castro and five others in connection with the Cuban military's fatal downing of two planes 30 years ago, with officials unveiling the charges at a press conference in Miami.

Will "federal prosecutors" indict Trump for murdering boatmen in international waters?
 

Kenyan court temporarily blocks U.S. plan for Ebola quarantine facility

The U.S. had set up the facility in Kenya to take in Americans exposed to Ebola, with a plan to send patients who develop symptoms to European countries for care.

There's a Ebola outbreak, hundreds reportedly already killed.
Some in the U.S. don't want U.S. citizens potentially infected to be repatriated, despite U.S. facilities capable of handling this.

Some Kenyans object to a treatment center in Kenya, exclusively for U.S. citizens.
Who's right?

I get MedPageToday publications for medical professionals, and they say the attempt to set up new Ebola facilities in Africa are insane.
They said the last Ebola outbreak was fixed by sending the patients to much more secure permanent facilities in the US.
They say it not only would take far too long to build new secure decontamination facilities in Africa, but there would not be the trained staff needed.

Thanks R5.
I wouldn't accept it being "insane" by every criterion. You haven't asserted it is.
But I gather we can handle it Stateside, so as a generalization, it's probably useful guidance.

I'm a little puzzled about these Ebola flareups.
Sometimes (most of the time) we don't seem to have that.
Then, we do.

But only when a monkey-eater burps?

There are many reasons doctors are upset about Trump sending the US Ebola victims to Germany or keeping them in Africa, instead of the US.
The US already has the most information on treating Ebola, and since it requires secure facilities the US already proved with the last round of Ebola, it is far riskier to not take the patients to the US.
The US facilities have all the airlocks, pressurized suits, etc.
They could never build adequate facilities in Africa in time.

Democratic battles and incumbents on defense: What to watch in today’s primaries

Voters will head to the polls in California, Iowa, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico and South Dakota.

Recent primary results have genuflected to President Trump:

MAGA candidate's win in Texas primary may also help Democrats in Senate battle​

Anthony ZurcherNorth America correspondent

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton easily defeated Senator John Cornyn in a Republican run-off primary on Tuesday night.
While the outcome had been expected for weeks, it marks a stunning defeat for an incumbent who served in Congress for 23 years, including 12 years as a high-ranking member of the Senate Republican leadership team.
The bruising contest set a record for the most expensive Senate primary campaign in US history.

There is at least the appearance President Trump has prioritized his own ego over the political welfare of the Republican party. Will this theme repeat?
