Protests Erupt In Athens As Rubio Arrives For US-Greece Talks - PopularResistance.Org
Mass protests were held in Athens against US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s visit to Greece, as his trip coincides with the sixth round of the Greece-US Strategic Dialogue and expected agreements on new US weapons purchases by Athens. A large number of demonstrators, including representatives of trade unions, student associations, and political parties, gathered in central Athens on Tuesday and marched toward the US embassy as part of an anti-war rally held ahead of Rubio’s visit, according to Greek media. Dimitris Koutsoumbas, leader of the Communist Party of Greece, participated in the demonstration.

Donald Trump's tariffs and war of choice in Iran are costing Illinois farmers their livelihoods. Today, I'm signing an Executive Order and issuing a state disaster declaration to provide emergency support, protections, and real relief from skyrocketing diesel prices.
Governor JB Pritzker issued a state disaster proclamation and signed Executive Order 2026-08 to provide relief on diesel fuel costs for the agriculture industry during the fall harvest season as part of his continued efforts to support Illinois farmers.

The executive order directs the Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR) and the Illinois State Police (ISP) to allow on-road use of dyed diesel typically used for agricultural purposes. The Executive Order also directs state agencies to consider additional protections for farmers and gives the state greater flexibility to respond to continued disruptions in fuel markets and the agricultural economy.Governor JB Pritzker issued a state disaster proclamation and signed Executive Order 2026-08 to provide relief on diesel fuel costs for the agriculture industry during the fall harvest season as part of his continued efforts to support Illinois farmers.
