Trump, in his regime’s serial dishonesty, has reshaped the conventions of American diplomacy in the Israeli fashion. He has turned the U.S. into the same sort of pariah — never to be trusted. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff greeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, Sept. 29, 2025. (White House /Joyce N. Boghosian) By Patrick LawrenceSpecial to Consortium News How long did it take for the Israelis to sabotage the five-minutes-to-midnight ceasefire accord the Trump regime reached with the Islamic Republic Tuesday evening?

No vehicle has ever carried humans so far from home.

At the federal level, Republican-written AI bills tend to be less concerned with policing how individuals use the technology than with regulating the development and deployment of the underlying technology—large language models (LLMs). Democrat-written bills tend to focus on individual malfeasance rather than the tech itself. Accordingly, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D–Minn.) was so outraged last year by a (hilarious) deepfake of herself that she called on Congress to affirm “the right to demand that social media companies remove deepfakes of their voice and likeness.” In California, Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed three bills in 2024 that restricted the use of AI to create political content deemed…

In 2011, Wisconsin made national news headlines when then-Gov. Scott Walker attempted to reform public sector collective bargaining as a part of his push for fiscal responsibility. At the height of the Tea Party movement, what became known as Act 10—which restricted the areas public sector employees could collectively bargain over—quickly transformed into a political hornet’s nest.

This article reflects key arguments from a debate hosted by the European External Action Service (EEAS) on 16 January 2026 Ukraine is central to European history One of the most persistent distortions in discussions about Russia’s war against Ukraine is the assumption that Ukraine is historically marginal, an “edge case” recently pulled into European affairs. This assumption is not only wrong; it actively reproduces a Kremlin-centred view of history. Ukraine has been a core space of European development from prehistory onwards. Some of the earliest known Ice Age dwellings in Europe were located on its territory. Early urban settlements older…
