The Senate spent its final days before the election eliminating labor rights for a subset of workers who are disproportionately young Black men. For the win! Here's a rundown of the Protect College Sports Act, which mostly restores the NCAA cartel to limit athlete compensation:

The Senate-passed Protect College Sports Act is really an anti-labor bill meant to restore the NCAA cartel at the expense of the athletes.

Kate Wilson is the socialist mayor of Seattle, and she's up against a aggressive moneyed class, a moderate city council, and a vocal base unafraid to be critical. Still she is making some gains. Chance Phillips went to Seattle to check things out. prospect.org/2026/09/28/o...

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

"What we have is a lot of furious people." The eviction of 87-year-old María del Carmen Abascal in Madrid, after an investment fund bought her apartment building and more than tripled her rent, has become a symbol of Spain's rising cost of living.

🇵🇸 Israeli forces, settlers uproot trees and attack Palestinians across the occupied West Bank

Ramallah and Al-Bireh: Israeli authorities issued military orders targeting trees and vegetation across 438.8 dunams (~108.4 acres) in the Ramallah and Al-Bireh and Jenin governorates on Tuesday, according to the Palestinian Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission. Israeli bulldozers also uprooted dozens of olive trees in Deir Nidham, while settlers razed land and uprooted trees in Ni’lin.

More than 200 settlers, accompanied by Israeli soldiers, attacked Al-Mazra’a Al-Sharqiya, damaging homes and vehicles, while settlers raided Silwad and stole dozens of livestock, WAFA reported.

Nablus: Settlers assaulted four Palestinians in Aqraba, leaving them wounded, and fired live ammunition to prevent residents from approaching the area.

Hebron: Settlers raided a family home in Yatta and assaulted women and children. Israeli forces later detained a member of the Palestinian family.

As we consider military and logistical support for Saudi Arabia, a quick reminder: At least 356 people were executed there in 2025. Since January 2026, at least 134 more have been executed. Many for non-lethal drug offences. Apparently, human rights have strategic exceptions.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.
