Largest Caucus in House Endorses Bill to Block US Bombs to Israel | Common Dreams "The United States cannot continue to send bombs we know will be used to commit terrible atrocities in Gaza."

🔥 BREAKING: This vote marks a historic shift—even for the most progressive group of lawmakers on Capitol Hill—that provides “a significant boost to efforts to hold Israel accountable for its genocidal war in Gaza.” Thank you @usprogressives.bsky.social ❤️️ ❤️️ ❤️️

We applaud the repeal of the 2002 AUMF in this #NDAA, but it's not enough. We also must repeal the broader and more destructive 2001 AUMF, which presidents have used to wage broad, unchecked power for "perpetual worldwide wars."

US destroyers head toward waters off Venezuela as Trump aims to pressure drug cartels The United States is deploying three guided-missile destroyers to the waters off Venezuela as part of President Donald Trump’s effort to combat threats from Latin American drug cartels.

Congress, not the president, has the constitutional responsibility to decide when, where, and against whom the nation uses force. The designation of criminal groups in Latin America as foreign terrorist organizations does not change wartime authorities.

80 Years After Trinity, the Dangers of Nuclear War Have Never Been Higher Yet mainstream US media outlets and partisan politics are routinely oblivious to threat of oblivion.

July 16th 2025, marks the 80th anniversary of the age of atomic bombs, and the dangers they pose have never been higher.

"Nuclear weapons offer us nothing but a balance of terror, and a balance of terror is still terror."
- George Wald, Nobel laureate scientist

How famine and starvation can affect Gazans for generations to come Research on WWII's Dutch “Hunger Winter” has terrifying implications for the region's children—and for their children.

According to the groundbreaking work of Dutch researcher Dr. Tessa Roseboom, the impacts of near starvation are also likely being experienced by generations not yet born. (From 2024)

'They wanted to separate me from my family': Mahmoud Khalil speaks after ICE release After 104 days in a Louisiana immigration detention center, Columbia graduate student Mahmoud Khalil has been released on bail.

❤️ RELEASED!!! ❤️
"They want the protests to stop because they expose this administration's and this government's hypocrisy... And Trump basically thinks that he creates the law and people should follow. So the fact that the federal judge ordered my release meant that Trump is basically no king."

Trump Is No Peace President. Call Him the Proliferation President | Common Dreams Weapons contractors could not be happier, but for the rest of us the state of world affairs is beyond alarming.

So those expecting Trump to be a Peace President are likely to be sorely disappointed. The rest of us should remain vigilant and advocate opportunities for real progress toward peace and disarmament.

Netanyahu's illegal war has killed 50,000 Palestinians. Now, Trump wants to force out 2 million more to build a billionaire's playground in Gaza.

That is ethnic cleansing — and it’s a war crime.

Next week, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in new arms sales to Israel.
