The old DC consensus is done & neither “America First” unilateralism nor nostalgia for liberal internationalism offer a viable path forward, argue @NancyGEO & @MattDuss in @ForeignAffairs. Read their vision for a bold rethinking of US foreign policy↘️

Washington needs something better than “America first” and “America is back.”

I was on It Could Happen Here (@HappenHerePod) talking about regime change disguised as drug enforcement in Venezuela, Petro’s career in Colombia, MCM’s Nobel, and why solidarity should be with people and not states.

“A US colonel has gone public with his concern that official findings about the 2022 killing of a Palestinian American reporter were soft-pedaled to appease Israel” “That the US…avoided calling it intentional, he said, ‘continued to be on my conscience’” https://t.co/XGigKlZcZc

Rand Paul on Trump's strikes on boats: "I would call them extrajudicial killings. This is akin to what China does, what Iran does with drug dealers -- they summarily execute people without presenting evidence to the public. So it's wrong."

More strikes, more prep for unauthorized and reckless war. This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it.
The Trump administration has carried out a second unauthorized and illegal strike on vessels in the Caribbean. Now, he’s threatening to deploy U.S. troops to Venezuela, despite widespread opposition from the American public to using force or invasion to overthrow its

Tomorrow morning, I am humbled and honored to present my book, “GENOCIDE,” at the Italian 🇮🇹 Parliament. Alongside former PM Giuseppe Conte, we will urge EU States to use their leverage to pressure Israel to stop the genocide in Gaza…as the occupied West Bank will be next.

Trump’s deadly strikes on vessels off of South America are unauthorized and illegal. Now he’s preparing to attack Venezuela. Most Americans oppose such an attack. Congress must make clear that Trump is not authorized to launch a new war. Tell your Senators to pass S.J.Res.90.
Breaking News: The U.S. ordered warships and planes to waters off Latin America, a major escalation as the Trump administration expands an operation it says is a counterterrorism and counternarcotics mission.

Since October 2023, the US has spent over $38 billion on Israel’s wars or fighting its regional adversaries. That’s 18 times what it spent on Meals on Wheels & 33 times what it spent on veterans suicide prevention. Israel has a per capita GDP higher than France, Japan & the UK.

In another blatant violation of its ceasefire commitment to allow adequate aid delivery in Gaza, Israel is now barring humanitarian aid groups on ideological grounds. Netanyahu is clearly trying to sabotage the ceasefire with one violation after another. https://t.co/3kAjOQcaGz

Israel is de-registering major nongovernmental aid groups from helping people in the Palestinian territories, according to several officials with humanitarian organizations.
