Hillary Clinton was a guest at the first Israel Hayom convention in New York, where she spoke about her recent experience teaching at Columbia University. Clinton said she was alarmed by what she saw among younger students. According to her, many smart students were getting most of their information from TikTok, which she claims was flooded with propaganda right after the October 7 attacks. She said that as early as October 8, there appeared to be a coordinated effort to spread misinformation. Clinton argued that many students lacked basic historical knowledge or context, making them more likely to accept what they were seeing online without questioning it. She said the goal of this content was to quickly flip the narrative about what happened on October 7, before people had time to fully understand the facts. An estimated 69 journalists were killed during World War II, while 256 journalists and media workers have been killed in Gaza since October 2023; the Gaza Health Ministry said just three days ago that total deaths have reached around 70,000.

Israel’s far right national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir has promoted the commander of an undercover Border Police unit linked to the killing of two unarmed Palestinians in Jenin, even as investigations remain ongoing. Video footage shows the men surrendering with their hands raised before being shot at close range. The United Nations described the killings as a “summary execution.” Despite this, Ben Gvir has publicly praised the unit and called for investigations into the killings of Palestinians to be ended. Israeli military and police forces rarely prosecute soldiers in such cases, as violence in the occupied West Bank continues to escalate. Ben Gvir has previously praised Baruch Goldstein, who is widely considered a terrorist for gunning down 29 Palestinian worshippers in the 1994 Hebron mosque massacre, kept a portrait of Goldstein in his living room for years, and is a longtime supporter of the Kach movement, a Jewish extremist group founded by Meir Kahane that is designated as a terrorist organization by Israel, the United States, and the European Union.

The first Israel Hayom Summit in the United States is opening in New York City, as a major Israel focused political gathering with U.S. and Israeli officials at the Hilton Midtown Hotel on Tuesday afternoon at 5:00 p.m. The event’s keynote speakers include former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz, Senator John Fetterman, and New York City Mayor Eric Adams. The summit is centered on Israel’s military campaign, its diplomatic standing, and international messaging (propaganda) during the ongoing genocide in Gaza. The program places heavy emphasis on the hostages held by Hamas, Israel’s conflicts with Lebanon and Syria, and efforts to counter growing international criticism of Israel’s war crimes. Additional panels are expected to focus on regional security, public diplomacy, and plans for what organizers describe as the “day after” the war. The summit is organized by Israel Hayom, whose publisher is Miriam Adelson, a conservative megadonor and one of Donald Trump’s largest financial backers during the 2024 presidential election. Adelson donated more than $100 million to support Trump’s campaign and aligned Republican causes.

Bernie Sanders joined Zohran Mamdani on a picket line at a Starbucks in Park Slope to demand better wages and better working conditions. Workers are demanding better wages, and end to erratic work hours and unpredictable scheduling. “These are workers who are simply being asked to be treated with the respect that they deserve,” Mamdani said. “You’re seeing more and more candidates standing up, exactly the same way Zohran did. And they are standing up and saying that we need an economy that works for all,” Sanders said. Zohran Mamdani said he attended the picket line to support the workers and to set the tone for the next four years.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Democrats are unlikely to pursue impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over reports tied to U.S. strikes on boats in the Caribbean. Jeffries said impeachment is essentially impossible while Republicans control Congress, arguing the GOP would block any effort and act under direction from Donald Trump. This is regarding reports that Hegseth was involved in approving second strikes on an alleged Venezuelan drug boat after an initial attack. The White House has denied that Hegseth ordered a second strike to kill survivors, saying he acted within his authority. Jeffries rejected the White House’s explanation, accused the administration of lying, and said Hegseth was directly involved in the decision making. Instead of impeachment, Jeffries said Democrats will push for aggressive congressional investigations, including probes led by Armed Services Committee leaders from both parties.

that Luigi Mangione discussed health care while he was being held in custody following his arrest last December. Thomas Rivers, a corrections officer at a facility in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, told the court that Mangione said he wanted to “make a statement to the public,” but did not explain what that statement would involve. According to Rivers’ testimony, the two spoke about the difference between nationalized health care systems and private health care. Rivers said he does not recall Mangione taking a clear position or expressing a specific opinion on the topic. The testimony came during a pretrial hearing that is expected to last all week. During the hearing, the judge is reviewing what evidence prosecutors will be allowed to use at trial, including statements Mangione allegedly made, items seized during his arrest, and witness testimony. Defense attorneys argue that some of this evidence should be excluded because they claim police violated Mangione’s rights. They say this includes questioning him without proper warnings, conducting searches without a warrant, or introducing material that could unfairly influence a jury.

A top consultant for Rep. Nancy Mace just quit her campaign and went public, telling Trump not to endorse her for South Carolina governor. He also told voters to “scratch her name from the list.” He says Mace has drifted away from the MAGA base, aligned herself with the Rand Paul and Rep. Massie wing of the GOP, and used his Trump connections without keeping her promises. Mace’s campaign fired back, saying the consultant didn’t raise money, demanded $10,000 a month, and ran to social media after being turned down. They insist she has been loyal to Trump from day one.

Augusta Health is closing three medical clinics in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley because of changes caused by Congress’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” The closures include two primary care clinics and one urgent care center in Buena Vista, Churchville, and Weyers Cave. The health system said the decision is part of its response to expected Medicaid enrollment losses and changes to hospital funding created by the new federal law. Some patients will now have to travel at least 10 miles to reach another clinic, while others will have to go even farther for urgent care. Augusta Health says it may use a mobile clinic in some areas, but it is unclear how often that will happen. The district’s representative, @repbencline , voted in favor of “The One Big Beautiful Bullshit” this Summer.

War criminal Benjamin Netanyahu has submitted a request for a Presidential pardon to Israeli President Isaac Herzog. This comes as Donald Trump previously suggested President Herzog to pardon Netanyahu because “his attention cannot be diverted.” “It is time to let Bibi unite Israel by pardoning him, and ending that lawfare once and for all,” Trump said. Netanyahu has been accused of corruption for years but he has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Trump no longer talks about “draining the swamp,” because he has turned the place into a sewer.

Donald Trump says he plans to pardon Juan Orlando Hernández, the former president of Honduras, who is serving a 45 year prison sentence in the U.S. for drug trafficking. Hernández was convicted in 2024 of helping move about 400 tons of cocaine into the United States. A jury found that he worked with major drug traffickers while in power and took bribes to protect drug shipments. Trump announced the pardon on social media, claiming Hernández was treated “harshly and unfairly.” He also tied the pardon to his support for a conservative candidate in Honduras’ upcoming election, warning the U.S. could cut aid if that candidate loses. Same playbook, different country. Venezuela is Trump’s Iraq and it’s about oil, not drugs.

The Sackler family, through their company Purdue Pharma, aggressively marketed OxyContin as safe and non addictive. That lie helped create millions of opioid dependent Americans. When prescriptions were later cut off without treatment, many people were pushed toward the illicit drug market. That is where heroin and eventually fentanyl took over. Fentanyl did not appear out of nowhere. It spread because there was already a massive population of Americans addicted to opioids. That population was created during the prescription opioid boom, not by Venezuela. Multiple studies by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, and public health researchers consistently show that a significant share of Americans who became addicted to opioids first through prescription painkillers later turned to illegal drugs like heroin and fentanyl when prescriptions became unavailable or too expensive. The Sacklers did not invent fentanyl or traffic it, but their actions helped ignite the first wave of the opioid epidemic that made the later fentanyl disaster possible. Purdue Pharma pleaded guilty to federal crimes. The Sacklers paid billions in settlements. And yet no Sackler went to prison. After thousands of American deaths, they walk free. Now contrast that with U.S. foreign policy. Instead of confronting corporate power, regulatory failure, and domestic accountability, blame is shifted outward. The fentanyl crisis is used to justify threats, sanctions, and even talk of invasion. The most direct contributors are untouchable billionaires at home while foreign countries with Billions of barrels of oil are treated as enemies. I’ve seen this movie before.

“Mr. Nobel Peace Prize” is back at it. Donald Trump is floating another conflict, once again built on fear and false pretenses. He posted this message: “To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP” Trump claims to care about drugs and human trafficking, but the Sacklers are still free in the United States. Legal opioids have killed hundreds of thousands of Americans, and no pharmaceutical executive has gone to prison. And for someone obsessed with “human traffickers,” he has been far tougher on Rosie O’Donnell than on releasing the Epstein files.

New details have emerged about the suspect in the Washington, D.C. National Guard shooting. According to NBC4 Washington, U.S. officials say the suspect previously worked alongside CIA backed and U.S. supported forces in Afghanistan, though he was not a formal CIA employee. After the U.S. withdrawal in 2021, he entered the United States through a resettlement pathway for Afghans who assisted American operations. NBC4 Washington reports that Lakanmal later applied for asylum with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in 2024, and his application was granted in 2025, according to a DHS official. Republicans wasted no time blaming Democrats and vilifying Islam after the incident, following a now familiar fear monger script in conservative politics. This same fear mongering is notably absent after school shootings carried out by U.S. citizens.

Now we know why Trump sent a desperate call last night for MAGA to vote early in Tennessee’s 7th district. A new poll shows Democrat Aftyn Behn is within striking distance of winning Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District and she is doing it without corporate PAC money or AIPAC money. The Emerson College and The Hill survey puts Republican Matt Van Epps at 48% and Behn at 46% which is well within the margin of error. When undecided voters are included the race remains just a 2 point difference making this a true toss up. Behn is running a fully grassroots campaign rejecting all corporate PAC donations and refusing AIPAC money. Because of that stance she has been endorsed by @trackaipac which supports candidates who do not take pro Israel lobby funding. The poll was conducted November 22 to November 24 2025 among 600 likely voters with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.9 points. Trump carried Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District by about 22 points in the 2024 general election.

U.S. immigration authorities have detained a woman who is the mother of White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s nephew according to a source familiar with the arrest. The Department of Homeland Security identified the woman as Bruna Caroline Ferreira. Karoline Leavitt’s brother Michael Leavitt confirmed the arrest in an interview with ABC New Hampshire station WMUR saying she was detained a few weeks ago. Michael Leavitt told WMUR that his 11 year old son has lived with him since birth but said the child has continued to maintain a relationship with his mother. A DHS spokesperson said Ferreira is a Brazilian national describing her as a “criminal illegal alien” who previously had an arrest for battery and overstayed a visa that expired in 1999. Her lawyer says she entered the country legally and has no criminal record. Did they call ICE on her brother‘s ex? 😭😭

Dylan Blaha, a combat veteran and former cancer researcher who is a Democratic Socialist, is running in the Democratic primary for Illinois’s 13th Congressional District. He is challenging Rep. Nikki Budzinski, who has received $234,350 dollars in AIPAC aligned donations according to Track AIPAC . Blaha says he is running to protect workers, restore democracy, and reduce the influence of dark money in politics. Blaha is one of the only candidates with a plan for regulating artificial intelligence. He argues that artificial intelligence is powerful and transformative but warns it can harm workers and weaken basic rights if it is not properly controlled. His campaign has stated publicly that he is rejecting support from the Israel lobby and corporate super-PACs. His Primary is March 17, 2026. #illinois #illinois13
