One subheading after another demonstrates the blatant criminality of the US government. They really, truly DGAF who sees it; who knows it; and dare anyone to do anything about it. Not like it's new. I'm not that naive. But their arrogance in outright extortion and bribery would make a mob boss blush. I'm ashamed of being an American. And I hope with all my heart something, at long last, brings this rotting Empire down.
Regarding the 1948 naqba (catastrophe), it must be asked:
Are not the current war crimes, which have killed 72,000 Palestinians and displaced more than a million, worse than the naqba which displaced 750,000 Palestinians?
Of course, the naqba was enabled by Great Britain, France, and America -- and the current catastrophe is being enabled mostly by us.
A (rhetorical) question: Does "democracy" (which supposedly makes us exceptional), define our nation better or does militant imperialism define us better?
"Absent lawmakers tip Iran war powers vote to a tie as House margins grow razor-thin: An Iran war powers resolution failed to advance on Thursday, after a tie vote in the House. **Half a dozen members absent—including Reps. Tom Kean, Jr. (R-N.J.) and Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.), both of whom have been missing from the chamber for weeks**. Wilson, 83, announced that she is recovering from major eye surgery and plans to return on Wednesday. Kean also reportedly “has a medical issue.” (Kean’s chief of staff ominously told the press: “There’s no cameras where Tom is.”) Neither has announced any intention to drop their current re-election bids. Notably, **Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) was the lone Democrat to vote against it**."
I really need to move on from being perpetually ashamed by our **failed** system to being more active in actually building what takes its place. I think we need to understand that the US - however we've understood it - is over, and that our efforts should not be wasted on trying to save what has already passed but rather spent on what while become.
Great job as usual. The actual death toll from Israel's war on Gaza is actually WAY higher than you state, if you add in all the deaths from other than explosives (i.e. those from malnutrition and disease), likely in the hundreds of thousands. It's misleading to use the figures you do, and you end up, as a result, painting Israel in a far less unfavorable light than it deserves.

What state of governance is **this** -
