President Trump is poised to be even more corrupt than he was in his first term. America’s founders were deeply concerned about presidential corruption—so much so that they put two provisions in the Constitution to guard against it. They would have been outraged about the ways Trump has funneled taxpayer money to his own businesses and made money from foreign governments. CREW Executive Director Donald Sherman breaks down Trump’s conflicts of interests, why they’re so dangerous and why they’re only getting worse.
President Trump, supposedly an isolationist, supposedly anti-war, has threatened military action against Panama, against Canada, against Denmark, in order to seize Greenland, he has bombed Yemen over and over and over again and now he appears to have ordered the United States military to enter a war in Iran, something that neoconservatives have thrilled for two generations.
Every empire falls, no matter how long they reigned and how far their rule stretched. So is the empire we’re living under today - the US Empire - also crumbling? There are three symptoms of its impending demise that we can see from looking to the past.
Rep. Senators don't care about us, they're focus on other countries. Our country is dying and you don't care because you're focused on Putin, so you believe that I don't care about America, I guess you believe Donald Trump doesn't either like nobody cares I believe that your focus is way too on other countries it's way too focused outward the money that you send abroad could be used here and should be what money that I send abroad by the way I emphatically agree with Ukraine.
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.
Trump attacked lobbyists as a candidate. Then he hired one as chief of staff. Now corporations are rushing to hire her former firm Ballard Partners. They registered 41 clients since the election — 2x any other firm — including Chevron, crypto companies & payday lenders.

Iran launched six missiles at the U.S.-run Al Udeid Air Base near Doha, prompting explosions over the Qatari capital and triggering global concern. The strike follows U.S. attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities. Al Udeid, CENTCOM’s forward headquarters, hosts around 10,000 U.S. troops and is key to American operations in the region. Qatar has closed its airspace, and the U.S., U.K., and China have urged citizens to shelter in place. Satellite images show most aircraft had already been moved from the base, signaling Washington’s anticipation of an Iranian retaliation.
Former diplomat and Middle East expert Talmiz Ahmed dismantles the dominant Western narrative surrounding the Iran-Israel conflict. Calling the portrayal of Iran as "weak" “absolute rubbish,” Ahmed argues that Tehran has performed far better than expected — both diplomatically and strategically — in response to Israeli provocations. He also delivers a scathing critique of Israel’s actions, suggesting Tel Aviv has miscalculated regional dynamics, underestimated Iran’s capabilities, and ignored the long-term fallout of its military aggression. As Western media continues to frame Iran as isolated or fragile, Ahmed exposes what he calls a deliberate misinformation campaign designed to support geopolitical agendas.

BRAIN CHARGE
Just a few hours ago, Iran launched a retaliatory strike on a U.S. base in Qatar. This comes after the United States bombed Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend.
Phyllis Bennis, a fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies and an associate of the Transnational Institute, delivers a sharp critique of US support for Israel’s recent escalation against Iran. She argues that Iran’s potential nuclear development poses no existential threat to Israel, only a threat to its unacknowledged monopoly on nuclear weapons in the region. Backed by overwhelming US military funding and diplomatic protection, Israel can carry out illegal strikes with impunity. Bennis goes further, warning that Israeli leadership may view American casualties as politically useful, a trigger to force deeper US involvement. Her analysis confronts the selective outrage and double standards that define Western policy in the Middle East.

Defense experts agree the terror group has the ability to attack U.S. interests at home, or abroad. "Hezbollah is a very real threat to us here in the United States," Simone Ledeen, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Mid-East Policy, told CBN News. She says the Iran-backed group has a longer reach than many others in the region.

No other continent can rival Africa in the complexity of its human past. Home to 1.2 billion people, the world’s second-largest population and 2nd largest continent after Asia, the name Africa has always been intriguing. But have you ever stopped to wonder, as home to the first great civilizations, is it really possible to know how Africa got its name and if the name Africa is even African? Is this the name ancestors used to refer to the motherland? And if Africa and Africans were robbed of their inherent way of life, their culture and their history thanks to slavery and colonization, what if they were also robbed of the knowledge of the motherland’s true name? For a long time, the historical origins of the name have been in dispute. A school of thought argues that the name Africa never originated from within the people and her people were never associated with the name. The theory suggests that the name ‘Africa’ is derived from the name of a famous Roman invader named Leo Africanus whose writings were used for some 400 years as one of Europe’s principal sources of information about Africa.
RISEN AFRICA
We speak live with Keith LaMar, a death row inmate at the Ohio State Penitentiary, following the release of The Injustice of Justice—a short film highlighting his case that recently won the grand prize for Best Animated Short Film at the Golden State Film Festival. LaMar, who has consistently maintained his innocence, reflects on his decades-long struggle against a system that he believes wrongfully condemned him. “I had to learn the hard way that taking control of my life meant standing up and claiming it,” he says. Convicted for his alleged role in the deaths of five inmates during a 1993 prison uprising, LaMar was tried before an all-white jury in a remote Ohio community. After spending more than 30 years in solitary confinement, he now faces an execution date of January 13, 2027. His attorney, Keegan Stephan, shares that newly uncovered evidence could open pathways to overturn the conviction.
DEMOCRACY NOW!
The recent strike by prisoners in the US state of Alabama has brought into focus the atrocious conditions in prison facilities across the country.
