Just days after police in Brussels captured Salah Abdeslam, the lone surviving suspect from the Paris terrorist attacks, the Belgium city was struck again, as terrorists detonated bombs filled with nails at the airport and a subway station. ISIS claimed responsibility for both bombings, which killed at least 30 people and injured more than 200.

President Obama responded to the attacks from a baseball game on his historic trip to Cuba, reiterating his commitment to the fight against ISIS and telling ESPN that “the whole premise of terrorism is to try to disrupt people’s ordinary lives.” He recalled Red Sox DH David Ortiz who told fans after the 2013 Boston marathon bombing that “this is our f---ing city and nobody is going to dictate our freedom.”

Meanwhile, responses to the attacks came in as well from the candidates vying to take over Obama’s job, in some cases revealing the growing divide between the values of the Republican and Democratic parties. Cruz appeared on CBS This Morning Wednesday calling for U.S. law enforcement to “patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized.” Trump said in an interview that he would be “fine” with waterboarding Abdeslam and that he “would do a lot more than waterboarding” if he were president. In the Republican field, Kasich stood out for not mentioning or blaming Muslims or Islam. Instead, he called for the U.S. and its allies to “rededicate ourselves to these values of freedom and human rights.” 

On the Democratic side, Clinton called for greater surveillance and a larger police presence at so-called “soft targets,” saying the U.S. has to “continually be learning and getting ahead of these thugs and criminals in order to prevent them doing what they did in Brussels.” Sanders condemned the attacks in a statement, saying the U.S. stands with “European allies.” Later, in an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel, he acknowledged people’s fears of future attacks but said “we are not going to undermine the Constitution of the United States of America,” adding “at the end of the day, we can’t let the Trumps of the world use these incidents to attack all of the Muslim people.”

In related news, the FBI has gotten an assist from an unlikely source in its fight to unlock an iPhone belonging to one of the San Bernardino attackers: hackers. Experts say the court battle between the government and Apple, combined with the company’s relative cool treatment toward hackers whom other technology companies have paid handsomely to expose flaws in their systems may be contributing to the black market’s demand for Apple glitches. 

On the Supreme Court front, the debate over Republicans’ refusal to hold hearings on nominee Merrick Garland continues to draw criticism. In a Times oped today, Richard Painter, chief ethics lawyer under President George W. Bush, said Garland would have been a likely Bush nominee if a vacancy arose in Bush’s last two years in office when Democrats controlled the Senate.
