Trump Went to War With Iran Because Jared Kushner Is a Fool Donald Trump’s top two negotiators have no clue what they’re doing.

Nuclear negotiations handled without nuclear experts. Technical facts distorted. That’s how reckless decisions about war get made.

The Unbelievable Madness of Our War With Iran Last year, I warned about the possibility that Israel might drag the United States into a regional conflict. What’s happening now is worse than I could have ever imagined.

"The fears I expressed 20 months ago now seem almost quaint, in the face of what Trump and Netanyahu have unleashed." newrepublic.com/article/2073...

Israel Destroyed Gaza’s Roads and Transit. Now, We Walk Everywhere. Israeli bombing left cars in Gaza immobile and roads impassable. The assault on Iran has only spiked prices and worsened conditions.

While the world turns its attention to Iran, daily life in Gaza has not returned to pre-genocide conditions.

Sanctions on Israeli settlements are working – even without the US As a new West Bank settlement plan gains steam, now is the time for governments to take multilateral economic action

Pressure on extremist settlers is already creating financial and political strain inside Israel. If the international community truly opposes illegal settlement expansion, it must move beyond statements and enforce meaningful economic accountability.

Despite ban, pernicious military 'earmarks' are back in the billions Lawmakers are using program increases to push for pet projects the DoD didn’t even ask for

Despite the earmark ban, Congress is channeling billions through “program increases” to fund weapons the Pentagon never requested, public money redirected into politically favored military spending shaped by contractor influence.
