The Trump administration is planning to send $2.8 billion worth of munitions to Israel. President Donald Trump’s administration is planning to sell to Israel a munitions package worth US$2.8 billion (S$3.6 billion), which will include tens of thousands of highly destructive 2,000-pound bombs, according to a US official familiar with the sale. Ana Kasparian discusses the planned sale, which has been informally communicated to relevant congressional committees who weigh in on large arms sales, includes 20,000 MK 84s and 20,000 BLU-117s, the official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said."

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) takes on $3.3 billi in foreign military financing for Israel during a Hs subcomm. debate, arguing money should instead be directed towards domestic priorities as US natl debt reaches unprecedented levels. Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) backs the amendt, pointing to humanitarian crisis in Gaza & questioning continued weapons support for Netanyahu govt. Opponents, including Reps. Mario Díaz-Balart & Steny Hoyer, argue military support for Israel is vital.
The Saudis have asked the Chinese to step in & the Chinese have stepped in. They've asked the Houthis to show restraint & they've asked the Iranians to show restraint & to allow freedom of navigation in both choke points. So more countries are stepping in as the US takes a step back. Remember a few days ago Trump said, "No, I'm not helping you Saudi. I'm not going to get involved." He sent a few personnel. Cooper went there on two visits. So things are changing while the Houthis entrench themselves in the territory they've captured, which is a lot of territory. I think that Saudi Arabia has accepted that the best that they can do militarily on their own is to contain Ansar Allah's offensive in Yemen and try to prevent attacks or incursion into across the border into Saudi Arabia. If you recall in the early days of the of Ansar's offensive in Yemen, the crown prince called Donald Trump allegedly twice in the same day, asking for support thru air strikes or air support; the president said no.
Democratic Rep. Jim McGovern delivers a fiery House floor attack on Donald Trump, turning a debate over fraud into broader confrontation over Trump’s use of the presidential pardon power. McGovern argues that Reps can't seriously lecture Democrats about fraud while pardons have been granted to people convicted of fraud-related offenses. He points to several controversial pardons & calls for greater scrutiny of what he describes as abuses of presidential clemency.
First, U.S. Air Force officer shot down in Iran says it's a "modern-day miracle" he survived. Then, brokers are offering felons a path to Trump pardons — at a steep price with no guarantees. And, McVay, Stafford on Rams culture. "60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later.
The military arsenal alone is dumping so much toxic chemicals into the groundwater. Every base is a story of contamination. So, it seemed so obvious as someone who is passionate about the environment and who's also an anti-imperialist journalist that this issue needed to be synthesized and it needed to be synthesized now. And so my partner Mike Presner and I, the same team that did Gaza Fights for Freedom at the Empire Files, we decided to take on the totality of the problem. So it took 5 years to really break this all down. Obviously, you know, the film came out before the war in Iran, but I still have in my mind a sort of the most viscerally shocking image of the war in Iran so far is on that first weekend after I think it was the Israelis who did it, where they bombed the oil depots on the outskirts of Tehran and then the whole of Tehran was just covered in this sort of black cloud full of toxic chemicals.
A Turkish court has issued an international arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the interception of the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla. The indictment lists allegations including genocide, crimes against humanity, torture and vessel hijacking. Israel rejects the case as politically motivated. The Turkish proceedings are separate from the International Criminal Court warrant issued for Netanyahu in 2024.
U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders delivered a speech in the Senate, calling for an immediate halt to Amer. military aid to Israel & condemning the ongoing war in Gaza as well as its expansion into Lebanon & Iran. Sanders argued that U.S. taxpayer money should not support what he described as illegal & destructive military actions, citing rising civilian casualties & humanitarian concerns; accused Israeli PM Netanyahu of pursuing policies that undermine possibility of a Palestinian state.
Saudi Arabia is buying their way into American politics, tech, and sports. They’ve sent billions to the Trumps and are the largest backers of U.S. startups — including running a spy ring through Twitter. What do they want in return? U.S. silence on human rights abuses. ----- More Perfect Union’s mission is to build power for working people. Here’s what that means: We report on the real struggles and challenges of the working class from a working-class perspective.
Saudis are refusing to lift the siege on ordinary Yemen civilians & even though Ansar Allah, Yemen armed forces, Yemen govt were becoming increasingly impatient, but they didn't launch a war until Saudis carried out that act of war. I think that that's a really important point to always remember. It's sort of like when in American mainstream media they're always distorting the reality & after MOU was signed & Americans began violating the MOU, then Iran struck three ships.
Saudi Arabia called Donald Trump twice — asking for U.S. military help as the Iran war expanded toward the Red Sea & the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait. WA did not agree to direct U.S. strikes against the Iran-aligned Houthis, instead offering intelligence & targeting support. The question is what that decision means for Saudi Arabia, Iran, U.S. & the future of the Middle East. In this military & geopolitical analysis, we examine the rapidly changing Iran war, the Houthi advance, the strategic importance of Bab el-Mandeb and the Strait of Hormuz, Saudi Arabia’s exposed energy infrastructure, and the growing pressure on global oil markets. We also examine the Saudi East-West oil pipeline disruption, Iran’s regional pressure strategy, the Houthi threat to Red Sea shipping, Washington’s evolving approach to Saudi Arabia, and the wider geopolitical competition involving Iran, China, Russia & the U.S. The consequences extend far beyond the battlefield.

China has reportedly pressed Iran in private to help restrain Yemen’s Houthi movement after Saudi Arabia sought Beijing’s help amid escalating attacks and Houthi advances near the Bab al-Mandab Strait. Reuters, citing three Iranian sources familiar with the discussions, reported that China urged Tehran to prevent the conflict from spreading across vital energy and trade routes. Riyadh’s appeal reflects concern that instability around the Red Sea chokepoint could endanger Saudi oil exports and commercial traffic. Tehran reportedly told Beijing that lasting regional stability depends on ending the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. China has not confirmed the private discussions, but said it opposes further escalation and supports resolving differences through dialogue and negotiation.

One of the most fundamental and far-reaching deeds that has been accomplished during the last quarter of a century has been that by which the Negro has been helped to find himself and to learn the secrets of civilization–to learn that there are a few simple, cardinal principles upon which a race must start its upward course, unless it would fail, and its last estate be worse than its first.
On the plantation in Virginia, and even later, Douglass tells how meals were given to the children, very much as dumb animals get theirs. It was a piece of bread here and a scrap of meat there. It was a cup of milk at one time and some potatoes at another.
