We must end billionaire greed.

It is long past time for the United States to join the rest of the world and guarantee paid annual leave and vacation days.
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “is a war criminal,” but acknowledged that New York City has no independent authority to arrest him.
Mamdani called on the federal government to join the International Criminal Court and execute its arrest warrant for Netanyahu, adding that Israel’s genocide in Gaza continues more than eight months into a “so-called ceasefire.”
How do we end the embarrassment of being the only major country not to guarantee healthcare to all as a human right?
The answer is not complicated.
We must elect candidates who are determined to pass Medicare for All.
AIPAC spent $9 million to take out Rep. Thomas Massie.
Trump megadonors spent another $7 million.
It was the most ever spent on a House primary race—all because he defied Trump on Gaza and Epstein.
NO, billionaire super PACs should not buy our elections. One person, one vote.
Billionaires and the Israeli lobby just bought another US election and defeated Thomas Massie, the one Republican in Congress who took on the Epstein Class and Israel.
Billionaires buying elections is not democracy. It is oligarchy.
Rise up, America. A better world is possible.
TUCKER CARLSON: “I don't believe Donald Trump. And I also think, as an Israeli, you should pause before using the phrase ‘terror regime’ since you live in a country that just MURDERED thousands of children in Gaza.”
Tucker goes gloves off with Israeli reporter.
⛽️ Iran War Has Cost American Consumers Over $35 Billion in Extra Fuel Costs, Brown University Tracker Shows
American consumers have paid more than $37 billion in additional gasoline and diesel costs since the war with Iran began on February 28, according to a real-time tracker developed by Brown University’s Watson School of International and Public Affairs.
The tracker, led by researcher Jeff Colgan, compares current fuel prices against a projected pre-war baseline. The national average for gas has risen to around $4.52 per gallon, up from under $3 when the war began — with summer driving season yet to peak.
Trump’s chief economist is right: “Credit card spending is through the roof.”
Americans are forced to put more of their spending on credit cards because of outrageously high prices.
That’s a win for big banks charging 30% interest rates. It’s a disaster for working people.
⭕️ 2,000 Ships and 20,000 Sailors Are Trapped in the Persian Gulf.
President Trump announced “Project Freedom” Sunday, pledging to escort neutral vessels out of the Strait of Hormuz starting tomorrow morning.
Roughly 2,000 vessels and an estimated 20,000 seafarers remain trapped in the Persian Gulf, according to the International Maritime Organization, with the strait practically closed as the U.S. and Iran enforce dueling blockades.
Most cannot simply leave. Major ports like Dubai’s Jebel Ali and Khor Fakkan are severely congested, with no pier space for 2,000 ships simultaneously, forcing most to anchor in open water.
And ships cannot be left unmanned. “You can’t just leave the ships like you park your car in a garage,” Jacqueline Smith, maritime coordinator for the International Transport Workers Federation, told NPR.
Some crews are surviving on food and water ferried in by smaller boats from nearby ports. One captain told NPR: “We are at anchor. We are out at sea and there is no way that we can step out of the ship.” To pass the time, crews play table tennis and chess. Smith described the situation as “desperate… they’re in a limbo — purgatory, I would say.”
The Trump administration bypassed Congress to approve $8.6bn in emergency arms sales to Israel, Qatar, Kuwait and UAE, including advanced air defence and precision strike systems, after February’s US-Israeli attack on Iran.
Al Jazeera’s @LinaAbuAkleh explains.
Absolute bombshell. Prominent journalist Ana Kasparian exposes Laura Loomer for systematically doxxing the spouses of private American citizens just because they criticized Israel. The Zionist lobby is using mafia tactics to destroy families and crush free speech.
🇮🇱🇮🇷 Israel has about 90 nuclear warheads, but never signed the NPT, faced sanctions, or had inspectors forced in.
Then Iran tries to enrich uranium and the world loses its mind.
Israel gets to play by different rules, but why?
Donald Trump Jr and Lara Trump hold a 30% stake in Salem Media, which is registered as a foreign agent for Israel
Eric Trump’s company has merged with an Israeli drone firm and Don Jr is a top backer
The Trump family business empire has effectively merged with Israel
BREAKING: Brent crude oil prices officially surge to their highest level of the Iran War, at $119.50/barrel.
This puts Brent crude oil prices at their highest level since 2022.
The IEA has called this the “biggest energy security threat in history.“
🚜 The US farm sector is under a diesel and fertilizer cost shock.
- Farm bankruptcies +46% YoY, the third straight annual increase
- 1.9 million farms in America, the lowest ever recorded
- Diesel prices are up +54.4% from a year ago
- 70% of farmers say they can't afford to fertilize their fields this season
If you have 3 minutes to watch Pete Hegseth get schooled by @RoKhanna, you need to watch this! Listen through the end. It’s EPIC!
Congressman Ro Khanna: “How much did it cost American taxpayers in terms of the strike on the school?”
Pete Hegseth: “I wouldn’t tie a cost to it.”
He then refuses to say what the costs are to American families, before Ro Khanna gives him the astounding numbers.
The end is the best part.
Hegseth and Trump are so far from reality when it comes to everyday Americans.
