More Palestinians have been killed (1,300) since the so-called ceasefire began in Gaza on 10th October 2025 than Israelis were killed on 7th October 2023 - including ten times as many children (300!) as were killed on 10/7.

This is what a 'ceasefire' looks like for Palestinians.

i think it’s remarkable that marjorie taylor green spoke out against laura loomers insane racist rants against angie nixon before most prominent dems and the entire republican party did.

Según Bloomberg, ha caído "como un plomo" en Wall Street la política económica y presupuestal de Abelardo.

Se ha dado la mayor venta de activos del país en Wall Street en la historia, los actores financieros de Wall Street no quieren tener ni bonos colombianos ni propiedades colombianas.

Sobre endeudar a Colombia, financiar el gasto con deuda y no ser capaz de hacer una reforma tributaria para cobrarle más impuestos a los ricos, desploma las expectativas económicas sobre Colombia económicamente.

Abelardo debería sacar a Miguel Gómez y rodearse de economistas serios.

South Africa has officially submitted a substantial dossier to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), detailing Israel’s continued non-compliance with legally binding provisional measures.

The submission, formally handed over on 25 August 2026, serves to assist an ICJ committee of judges tasked with monitoring the implementation of the court’s orders in Gaza.

According to the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO), Israel’s non-compliance directly undermines the protective functions of international justice.

Hence, the submission is a vital milestone in the struggle for global accountability. By formally documenting Israel’s refusal to adhere to the court’s binding provisional measures, Pretoria is doing far more than advocating for Palestinian survival.

The people of Venezuela have taken to the streets to protest the theft of their oil:

“We are protesting against the theft of our oil and interference in our sovereignty by the United States.”

BREAKING: E1 Tender Open for Bidding

President @vonderleyen: You warned Israel not to proceed with E1 expansion. They heard you loud and clear and did the opposite. What will the EU do next? Lip service or act in line with international law for a change?

🚨Aid coalition chief: Israel blocks wheelchairs, prosthetics, watermelons, and fresh produce from entering Gaza

Athena Rayburn, executive director of the Association of International Development Agencies, which represents more than 100 humanitarian and development NGOs operating in the occupied Palestinian territory, detailed Israel’s sweeping restrictions on aid during a UN Security Council briefing Wednesday.

🔹Israel rejects scissors, crutches, wheelchairs and prosthetic limbs as “dual-use,” bars medical specialists and restricts engine oil so severely that its price has risen to 45 times normal levels, bringing aid operations to “an absolute breaking point,” Rayburn said.

🔹Israeli authorities have also rejected watermelon and onions under an unpublished “humanitarian policy,” deregistered more than 30 international aid groups and repeatedly moved the supposedly fixed Yellow Line, cutting access to at least 85 water points, schools and health clinics.

“Humanitarian assistance, by its nature, cannot be conditioned,” Rayburn said, noting Israel was shrinking “almost daily” the physical space in Gaza where aid groups can operate.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

Too many demotivated Democrats stayed home in 2016 and 2024. We can’t repeat past mistakes. In this upcoming election, we need to:

Quit calling @BernieSanders an “antisemite.”

Stop wasting time attacking Hasan Piker instead of Trump’s robber baron corruption.

Don't put Israel hawks out of touch with our voters in charge of our Middle East policy.

It is time for a reckoning: are we a party that represents corporate interests and super PACs, or will we represent the American people?

[Medea Benjamin @medeabenjamin]

WTF is wrong with the Dem leadersip??? They know their base wants to CUT TIES with Israel, so they make the most Zionist @RepMoskowitz the new ranking member for the Middle East? They are tone deaf and so corrupt. Still wedded to AIPAC/Israel. It's sickening.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Israel has said that paper kites flown by Palestinian children will be treated as weapons of war.

Read that again.

This is the reality of genocide: the total destruction of innocence, freedom and joy.

End all military cooperation with Israel, now.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

59 years of predatory occupation.
1,049 days of genocide.
7 governments.
One statement.
Zero sanctions.

And it even misses the international law obligation: per the ICJ 2024 Advisory Opinion, it's the occupation itself -not just the E1 plans- that must end.

So: Cut trade now.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

You can't make this up:

At 8:15 AM ET yesterday, the 10Y Note Yield was trading at 4.68% when the US Treasury announced it would be increasing bond buybacks to $4 billion.

The yield fell to a low of 4.63% as the US Treasury pledged to provide "liquidity support."

Exactly 24 hours later, the 10Y Note Yield is ABOVE levels seen prior to the announcement, at 4.71%.

It's going to take a lot more intervention to tame this beast.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

BREAKING: US interest expense on the national debt hit a record $1.4 trillion over the last 12 months.

Since 2020, the cost of servicing US public debt has nearly TRIPLED.

If rates remain stable, interest payments are set to rise to $1.7 trillion by November 2028.

As a result, interest will surpass Social Security spending as the government's largest outlay for the first time.

America's debt bill is spiraling out of control.

Israel thinks it has a PR problem.

It has a genocide and war crimes problem.

Abelardo De la Espriella anunció en campaña una disparatada política exterior y sectores sensatos de la derecha y del centro no creyeron que cometiera tales desvaríos y votaron por él. Ahí tienen, en par patadas le dijo a Marruecos que le reconocía la soberanía sobre el Sahara Occidental y a Israel sobre los Altos del Golán y llamó a Estados Unidos para que se embarcara en operaciones militares directas en territorio colombiano y a renglón seguido rechazó la ayuda de varios países que querían socorrer a Colombia en la tragedia humanitaria por puro capricho ideológico. Mañana no sabemos que otra cosa se le ocurrirá
