It is a dark day for freedom of the press. Paramount’s decision to settle with Trump will only embolden him to continue his attack on the media. Trump is undermining our democracy and moving us towards authoritarianism, and the billionaires are helping him do it.

Democrats cannot complain about Trump’s authoritarianism while ignoring their own constitutional responsibility regarding taking the country to war. Democrats must support Sen. Kaine’s War Powers Resolution. The U.S. must not get involved in Netanyahu’s war.

Republicans want to cut Medicaid, nutrition & education to give a TRILLION dollars in tax breaks to the 1% & large corporations. Now they’re going after Medicare, which would make our broken health care system even worse. Thousands will die unnecessarily. We must stop them.

In Gaza, hospitals have collapsed. Babies ran out of formula. Clean drinking water is gone. Meanwhile, trucks filled with aid are waiting idle by the border. Instead of trying to do a Gaza real estate deal, Trump should press the Netanyahu government to open aid routes & stop starving Palestinians.

The ex US ambassador to Israel says there are not 2 million innocent civilians in Gaza and the line between civilians and terrorists in Gaza is ‘mostly invisible.’ How is this not openly genocidal rhetoric, and incitement to violence against an entire people?

The disastrous Republican reconciliation bill would cut Medicaid & the Affordable Care Act by $715 billion – throwing 13.7 million Americans off of Medicaid & the health insurance they currently have – in order to give a $1.2 trillion tax break to the top 1%. It must be defeated.

Judge Sessions is right. Neither Rumeysa Ozturk or anyone else in America should be in jail for authoring an op-ed critical of Israel, or on any subject. Trump and colleagues should read the Constitution and, especially, the First Amendment. Ozturk must be released immediately.

Israel admits firing at ambulances in Gaza after Palestinians say rescuers missing in Rafah
Body of team leader found almost a week after six rescuers went missing, Gaza’s civil defence agency says Israel’s military has admitted it fired on ambulances in the Gaza Strip after identifying them as “suspicious vehicles”, with Hamas condemning it as a “war crime” that killed at least one person. The incident took place last Sunday in the Tal al-Sultan neighbourhood in the southern city of Rafah, close to the Egyptian border. Continue reading...
