Trump slashed USAID so that children die for want of $2 mosquito nets or 12-cent-a-day medicines--but he now is backing a $20 billion bailout of Argentina that will also pour money into the pockets of billionaire hedge fund investors. My take: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/o...

When prosecutors stand up in court, they represent the United States, not the president.

We need the Attorney General to stand up for the rule of law and the Constitution—not fold to the president’s tweets.

"I had friends say to me, look, we can oppose political violence without whitewashing this guy. I spent some time thinking about that over the weekend...and my reaction honestly is that it is too little to just say we oppose political violence."

Thought to affect 200 million people globally, schistosomiasis is considered one of the most important parasitic infections worldwide, second only to malaria. Yet it attracts nowhere near the funding or the attention that killers like malaria do.

The #FixOurForests Act uses smart, science-based solutions to restore forest health and reduce wildfire risk, while preserving important environmental standards.

That's why we've joined 21 other organizations urging the Senate to pass the bill: citizensclimatelobby.org/blog/news/cc...

According to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, Republican’s Big Beautiful Betrayal will take $1,200 a year from Americans most in need—while handing the richest more than $13,000 a year. It’s no wonder Americans oppose this bill.

Recognition communicates to 🇮🇱 that its behaviour in Gaza (compounded by settler assaults and state legalization of settlements on the West Bank) is entirely unacceptable to old and close allies.

Thread 🧵

Prime Minister Keir Starmer should lead his cabinet to agreement on recognizing a Palestinian state now.

Recognition of a state is only a symbol. But it sends a clear message. @bronwenmaddox.bsky.social explains why the time has come for the UK to recognize 🇵🇸.

The UK should recognize a Palestinian state now
The time is right to make this symbolically important move, says Bronwen Maddox, but that should not distract attention from the most urgent task of securing relief in Gaza.
