    Which spells block telepathic communication?

    PROTECTION FROM EVIL (/Good/Chaos/Law) and MAGIC CIRCLE versions of
    those spells will prevent monsters like Vampires from exercising
    "mental control". It doesn't negate the charm aspect, so it looks
    like it blocks the means of issueing mental commands, i.e. telepathy.
    That section doesn't mention that it only blocks telepathy from evil monsters, so I think it blocks all telepathy.

    Are there any other spells that block telepathy?

    Non-Detection would be my go-to at lower levels, at least in theory. Mindblank is the best, but only for high-level casters.

    A metal (tinfoil?) helmet is ever simpler.

    Every American should want President Trump and his administration to handle
    the coronavirus epidemic effectively and successfully. Those who seem eager
    to see the president fail and to call every administration misstep a fiasco risk letting their partisanship blind them to the demands not only of civic responsibility but of basic decency.
