[ad_1] From Department of War 2025 The former congressman tells Robert Scheer that a provision buried in the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act could integrate the United States and Israel at the highest levels of military technology—without meaningful public debate or congressional scrutiny. Former Congressman Dennis Kucinich has spent decades warning about the machinery of permanent war. But in a new conversation with Robert Scheer, he argues that Congress is now on the verge of crossing a line without precedent in American military history. At the center of Kucinich’s warning is Section 219 of the 2027 National Defense Authorization…

One might have hoped that, after thousands of years of war, humanity could have come up with a better way to resolve conflicts than killing and mass destruction. Unfortunately, that is not the case. There is now more war and bloodshed raging across the world than at almost any point in decades. In February 2022, Vladimir Putin, without provocation, invaded Ukraine. The result: hundreds of thousands of…

[ad_1] In the fall of 2022, a paramedic named Kaleb sent a message to a woman named Jenna on a dating app called Unjected, the world’s first and largest dating app for people that chose NOT to take the experimental mRNA death jab.  Kaleb had just left Oregon for Tennessee to get out from under a vaccine mandate that would have ended his career and betrayed everything he believed in. He landed in a new state with no friends and no family close by. Jenna nearly didn’t write back. Jenna had never trusted online dating and only built a profile…

[ad_1] In April, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) in Arizona completed its five-year mission to produce the largest-ever high-resolution 3D map of the universe. DESI “observed more than 47 million galaxies and quasars and 20 million stars” during its quest to “study dark energy, one of the biggest mysteries in physics,” according to the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, which operates the instrument. DESI is a collaboration of more than 900 researchers from more than 70 institutions. It will continue to document the sky through 2028 as scientists seek to better understand the history of the universe. [ad_2] Source link

[ad_1] The timeline of this new bout of escalation is likely dictated by U.S. refinery inventories and the extent of the “hurt” being experienced by Trump back home in the context of his fading political prospects.

[ad_1] Still from the opening scene of Michelangelo Antonioni’s Zabriskie Point. (Fred Gardner was one of the screenwriters.) I’m always encouraged when Democratic Socialist candidates advance at the polls. I never had a negative thought about the party itself, until a friend forwarded this document, which helped me picture a membership meeting (as noted in italics). DSA Guidelines for Respectful Discussion Meetings are more productive — and more fun — when the conversation includes everyone. Not everyone is there to talk. Many just want to listen. This baseless assertion puts subtle pressure on everyone to say something.  You can read…

[ad_1] Image by Nathan Dumlao. Do universities need to foster more intellectual diversity among professors? Should there be affirmative action for conservative thinkers in disciplines such as sociology and social work? Asked less often, but just as relevant: Should business schools and economics departments hire a few socialists? This long-running debate intensified in Trump’s second term, as MAGA forces ramped up attacks on any challenge to right-wing populist politics. Unfortunately, a principled question about the appropriate mix of ideologies in a faculty has been twisted to advance political goals. Rather than offer policy recommendations for institutions coping with this mess…

[ad_1] Carla Louise Collins, a Tennessee Department of Human Services employee, was arrested and charged with identity theft and fraudulent use of a credit card involving an electronic benefit transfer. After Joy Martin died from cancer in May 2026, her family noticed strange activity on her EBT card, including a PIN change and purchases, which they reported. Police reviewed surveillance video and store records that linked the transactions to Collins, who was seen manually entering the EBT card number. Under federal regulations, EBT benefits can continue after a recipient dies if agencies aren’t notified. The post Brickbat: Bargain Shopping appeared first…
