For the sake of humanity, let’s hope this will be a lasting and permanent ceasefire. While this is a hopeful step, we must demand accountability for every war crime committed during this genocide and continue to call for an end to the occupation.
BREAKING: Hamas will release all 20 living hostages this weekend, AP sources say, as Israelis will withdraw from majority of Gaza.

Republicans want to double your healthcare costs. Republicans want to rip healthcare away from 15 million people. Republicans want to give their billionaire donors handouts at your expense. And they’re lying about it every chance they get.

New day, same fake story. 👋🏽 Donald Trump is an embarrassing, racist, and corrupt liar. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.-IO
Trump: "The Democrats have no leader. They remind me of Somalia. I met the president of Somalia. I told him, 'you have somebody from Somalia who's telling us how to run our country. Would you like to take her back?' He said, 'No I don't want her!'"

Invoking the Insurrection Act in his manufactured war on American cities is both illegal and unconstitutional. Another unhinged act of authoritarianism.
Q: Are you planning to invoke the Insurrection Act? TRUMP: Well, it's been invoked before. If you look at Chicago -- Chicago is a great city where's a lot of crime and if the governor can't do the job, we'll do that job.

It is outrageous that the United States spends more on its military than the next 9 countries combined. Imagine if we stopped spending half of the nearly $1 trillion Pentagon budget and invested it in healthcare, education, and housing instead.
