Members of Congress have quietly advanced an alarming proposal: to further fuse the U.S. and Israeli militaries via sharing data, co-producing weapons, and integrating AI, cyber, and autonomous systems.

It’s buried in the House NDAA as Section 224, and it would give Israel deeper military integration with the U.S. than any country in the world, including NATO allies.

The move would also shield the relationship from public scrutiny by shifting it from visible aid votes into the opaque machinery of defense acquisition, where oversight is limited and political accountability is minimal.

@davidcnswanson I take your point but trust me, the Catholic Church is not apolitical.

Really thought provoking dense read but a report of where we are.

The most powerful response to empire is organized refusal. Refusal to enlist. Refusal to normalize militarism. Refusal to fund endless war while communities go unmet. Refusal to accept domination where cooperation is possible. https://t.co/jV8f8P2EPB

We spend a lot of time talking about lowering prices to make life more affordable.

It's time to match that level of ambition on raising wages.

[Pitchfork Economics @PitchforkEcon]

CNN polled 27 top economists on how to fix the cost-of-living crisis.

Groceries. Tariffs. Housing. Gas. Rent.

Not one mentioned raising wages — and wages where the real heist is happening.

Anyone involved in SENIOR CARE, gerontology, long term care should read this document.

@RepMann Is this you pretending you don’t understand that the US Supreme Court just gutted the VRA? Callous or stupid? —either way, not a great look.

My dad spent his career building a small, independent allergy practice in Augusta, Georgia.

It was our family business and it was his life's work.

When it came time for him to retire, he wanted to pass it on to someone who would continue that work but no one wanted it. Not because it wasn't meaningful, but because independent practice wasn't valued anymore.

What was valued was the land.

Today there's a McDonald's where his practice used to be. We're grateful for the income it provides my parents but that's not what was supposed to be there.

And yet here I am, running my own independent practice in Austin. Maybe that's crazy after watching what my dad went through. But I'm not doing this because it's easy, I'm doing it because it needs to be done.

If we're not honest about how hard this is, we can't fix it.

Independent physicians need to be valued. They need to be paid fairly. And when they retire, their work should be worth passing on.

The fact that it isn't is a sign that something has gone very wrong.

This is my story. It's my dad's story. And it's the story of healthcare in America.

[Janet Hanson @djhanson_87]

@RogerMarshallMD You write like this is a problem of mysterious origin that you cannot think of any way to intervene upon. That the US Senate couldn’t possibly help and you cannot identify how the banking industry could possibly be so out of control. But, then, maybe you are that clueless.

@JerryMoran @LoveNIntegrity Constrain this untrustworthy President. Stop funding stupid wars.

[Janet Hanson @djhanson_87]

@LeeNormanMD I'd saying he's digging us quite a hole.

[Janet Hanson @djhanson_87]

@JerryMoran @StateDept You are a joke.

[World BEYOND War @WorldBeyondWar]

We have to all stand up together, no matter whom we’ve voted for or against, no matter what corner of the planet we live in, and work every nonviolent educational and media and activist angle to effectively demand NO MORE. https://t.co/cGYeRMVbX8

@matthewstoller They mean for healthcare to be something you get if you can afford it.

[Matt Stoller @matthewstoller]

Why do people feel the economy is bad? The answer is that it is bad. The economy exists solely to make people happy, if they say they are not happy it is by definition a bad economy. A better question is why the measurements don’t represent that.

@ninaturner The Bro Club. The Democratic Party just wants our vote; that's it. After that we should go home and be quiet.

[Reed Showalter @reed_showalter]

This is a very bad sign and signals further corporate capture in the Trump administration.

Expect to see the Trump DOJ to drop its lawsuits against Ticketmaster, Apple, and monopolies like Agri Stats that keep food expensive.

This is pure corruption.

[Janet Hanson @djhanson_87]

@LeeNormanMD I have been fearing this all along. As a former school nurse, I have learned to be very concerned when the state legislature decides it needs to get involved in nursing or medicine. It never bodes well for ordinary Kansans. And KDHE....all of this is so sad.

@matthewstoller Better late than never.
