Those who defend Lindsay Clancy want someone else-the husband, or the medical system-to be responsible. It’s not that simple, writes Kat Rosenfield. Source link
In announcing the latest FBI annual report on nationwide crime, President Donald Trump wrongly cast the decline in crime in 2025 as a dramatic turnaround and made misleading claims about the impact of his administration’s policies. Speaking to an audience of law enforcement officers at the Nassau County Police Academy on Aug. 14, Trump said that his speech was meant to “celebrate the historic progress our administration is making, together with law enforcement partners nationwide to restore law and order in America.” The FBI that day released data collected from local law enforcement agencies showing that both violent and property…
Leaked emails reveal Britain’s domestic spying service attempted to recruit a high-ranking BBC board member as a key agent of influence, at a time when the British state broadcaster was embroiled in a bitter legal and journalistic battle with MI5. Kit Klarenberg Grayzone This June, British oligarch Damon Buffini stepped down as deputy chair of the BBC’s board, and chair of the broadcaster’s commercial board. His four year tenure was warmly praised by the BBC board’s chair for the “record profits” generated by the broadcaster’s commercial wings. While mainstream reports on Buffini’s time at the BBC reference his background at the upper echelons of private equity…
The vastness of the American Empire is built upon a mountain of civilian corpses and an ocean of innocent blood. Despite historical revisionism to the contrary, US imperialism remains the greatest threat to world peace. It is an anniversary that almost goes unacknowledged in today’s day and age. One that, at nearly a century old, is fading further into memory while the consequences of it have left lasting scars on human history. 81 years ago this week, on August 6th and 9th of 1945, the United States government would carry out the most heinous and life altering act of terrorism the…

Dr. Adam Hamawy says that to move forward, the Democrats must embrace an anti-war, economically progressive agenda, and abandon the categories of left vs. right. The bipartisan US-backed genocide in Gaza exposed the corruption of the political system in the United States and the hypocrisy of the Democratic Party, which claims to represent working people. Rather than recognizing this fact and shifting its stances to better represent its voting base, the Democratic Party establishment is attacking candidates who run on progressive platforms and is setting the stage for another Republican victory. In this episode of The Chris Hedges Report,…
For years, popular leftist political commentator and streamer Ian Kochinsky, better known online as Vaush, has been one of the only voices on the left spending significant time outlining how the left should govern on foreign policy. He is a vocal supporter of NATO and a positive role for America in the world, which has garnered him some ire from more “tankie-aligned” crowds on the left, who are deferential to “anti-imperialist forces,” like Russia, China, Venezuela, North Korea, and Iran, or even terrorist groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the FARC, many of which also have very troubling records, though they…

Shahram Akbarzadeh Informed Comment On August 7, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Pakistan signed a pact in Mecca. The joint statement declared an attack on one as an attack on all. Many labelled this as an Islamic NATO, built to deter Iran. But that framing misses the point. The pact says more about the growing concern with the US ability or commitment to securing the region than any threats posed by Iran. Saudi Arabia and Pakistan had already signed a defence agreement in September 2025, signalling Riyadh’s growing recognition that exclusive reliance on the United States might no longer suit a rapidly…
