Noticeably absent from U.S. news coverage of U.S. President Donald Trump’s waffling over the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files is any mention of the child sex predator’s apparent ties to Israeli intelligence.

India needs to shed the comfort of diplomacy and not concede the space it has fought so hard to occupy, in response to Trump’s message to U.S. tech giants “to stop hiring in India”.

A foreign national spoke out against a country he accused of killing his family. After fleeing that country to escape persecution, the U.S. government arrested him and tried to deport him.

This aggressive use of public lands and services, including the use of millions of dollars in FEMA funds, was carried out not in order to respond to the real needs of Floridians, but in order to wage war on immigrants in a purposefully theatrical and cruel way.

A Trump-appointed federal judge has blocked a key rule that would have removed medical debt from the credit reports of roughly 15 million Americans, dealing a harsh blow to struggling families already burdened by the high cost of health care, particularly Black Americans who carry a disproportionate share of that debt.

Last week the U.S. Congress passed the Trump Tax Cuts.

Outrage over ICE raids rings hollow while 2 million languish in prisons. America has always had concentration camps. We just reserve our anger for the ones with TV cameras.

We’re about to see the largest upward transfer of wealth in U.S. history. It’s also going to be the largest cut to health care in the history of the U.S. The “Big Bill” includes over $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

The western empire is one nonstop insult to our intelligence. The peace advocates are terrorists, the genocide architects deserve peace prizes, the journalists are dangerous, and Epstein was just a wealthy socialite who made a few mistakes.

Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and Pakistan’s General Asim Munir—have found common cause in nominating Donald J. Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Some cuts, like those to Medicaid, have been heavily covered by the corporate media. But one key piece of the bill has gotten much less media scrutiny: The preposterous sum of $175 billion has been allocated to fund Trump’s signature mass deportation campaign.

What is MAGA imperialism? Monthly Review editor John Bellamy Foster says that, despite its feints toward anti-imperialist isolationism, President Donald Trump’s foreign policy has coalesced into a “hyper-nationalist” form of populism that rejects the U.S.’s post-WWII adherence to liberal internationalism and promotes dominance over other countries via military power rather than through economic globalization.
