Following that meeting, MK Odeh stated, âI met with UN Secretary-General Guterres. I thanked him for his principled stances during this difficult time and made it clear that the war of destruction in Gaza must be ended through a comprehensive deal. I emphasized that there is no solution other than ending the occupation and establishing a Palestinian state alongside the State of Israel. It is the duty of the international community to recognize this right, and the UN plays a pivotal role in correcting this historical injustice.â He stressed, âThere is no other way but the path of peace and justice.â

Two people scale Empire State Building to fly peace banner and kiss
The pair, a man and a woman in dark outfits and masks, displayed a flag that read: âWhen the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace.â

âFascism Ainât Prettyâ Goes National
(November 11, 2025)
Washington, D.C. was the proving ground for our campaign, antagonizing Stephen Miller.
When we covered the Capital with Stephen Millerâs face and âFascism Ainât Prettyââon walls, sidewalks, and projected it onto buildingsâwe heard from thousands of you. The message was overwhelming: WE WANT THIS IN OUR CITY.
We heard you. And weâre acting on it.
This week, Portland, Oregon, and Philadelphia are first up on our list for expanding this campaign. If youâre in either city, take a stroll and see if you can spot Millerâs face. Then snap a pic, put it on your socials, and tag us!
Asked About Stephen Miller, DNC Staffer Happy to Confirm: âI Stand by Calling Him an Ugly Fuckâ
âI said what I said.â
That was Democratic National Committee (DNC) staffer Paulina Mangubatâs statement Thursday evening after her response to White House adviser Stephen Millerâs smear against Democratic US Senate candidate James Talarico of Texas went viral earlier this week.
After Miller posted a picture on Wednesday of Talarico with the comment that Democrats in Texas had nominated âtheir first transgender Senate candidate,â Mangubat, who serves as the DNCâs content and creative director and is behind many of the committeeâs social media posts, had a concise response.
Ken Martin Has to Go
If youâve been following politics over the last month or so, you are more than familiar with the saga over the autopsy that the DNC was refusing to release. After stonewalling for months and an incredibly viral interview on Pod Save America, where DNC Chair Ken Martin vigorously and incredulously defended the decision not to release the autopsy, the whole imbroglio has roiled the party for weeks and led to a debate about the debate.
All along, Martinâs argument was that the autopsy had happened, it had been helpful in informing his strategy, but that releasing it would be a distraction and divide the party before the midterms.
Well, that was all bullshit.

CPI and Hadash: The Ceasefire Is a Critical Step that Must Become a Permanent Peace
The Communist Party of Israel and the Democratic Front for Peace and Equality (Hadash) condemned on Wednesday evening, April 8, âthe heinous and horrific massacre committed by the far-right Israeli government in Lebanon, only hours after the announcement of a temporary ceasefire in the war. This is a clear sign of the crisis facing war criminals, whose aggressive policies repeatedly fail to establish what they term the New World Order. Furthermore, Netanyahu and his government understand that ending the war signifies the collapse of their legitimacy and the end of their time in power.â
âWe view the ceasefire in the war with Iran as a crucial development that must be maintained, defended, and turned into a standing agreement that guarantees peace and rights for the peoples of the region, while standing firm against any Israeli attempt to thwart it. We emphasize that this war has once again exposed the failure of the policies of aggression and the imperialist bullying of the US and Israel. It has proven that the logic of force, destruction, and occupation does not create security or stability, but rather drags the entire region into further ruin and bloodshed. We reaffirm that the only path to security, stability, and a better future for all peoples of the land and the region is not the path of war and aggression, but a political path based on ending the occupationâas it is the heart of the regional conflictâand the establishment of an independent Palestinian state in all territories occupied by Israel in June 1967,â they said in the common communique.

Asked if the Trump administration was pursuing its war with Iran âprimarily for American interestsâ or âprimarily for Israeli interest,â the public was also divided, but half â 50-41% â said that he was considering America first. Another 9% said they didnât know.
NEW POLL: Majority of Americans Believe Trump Launched Iran War to Cover Up Epstein Scandal
Doing sophisticated polling that follows best practices is an expensive endeavor, which is why itâs usually left to major media with major budgets. But thanks to the generous support of our readers, we decided itâs something we can afford, too, and we teamed up with our friends at Zeteo to split the costs of a national survey of likely American voters, one that allowed us to ask the kinds of questions weâre interested in, and that we believe youâll be interested in too.
We hope to do more of these in the future, particularly if thereâs reader interest. In fact, one way we gauge that is by looking at how many readers decide to become donors or paying subscribers after reading a particular article.
CNN poll: Just 6% of Americans satisfied with how much US has released from Epstein files so far
(January 19, 2026)

France is committed to the sovereignty and independence of nations, in Europe and elsewhere. This guides our choices. It underpins our commitment to the United Nations and to its Charter.
It is on this basis that we support, and will continue to support Ukraine and that we have built a coalition of the willing for a robust and lasting peace, to defend these principles and our security.
It is also on this basis that we decided to take part in the exercise organized by Denmark in Greenland. We fully assume this decision, because security in the Arctic and at the outer edges of our Europe is at stake.
No intimidation or threat will influence usâneither in Ukraine, nor in Greenland, nor anywhere else in the world when we are confronted with such situations.
Tariff threats are unacceptable and have no place in this context. Europeans will respond in a united and coordinated manner should they be confirmed. We will ensure that European sovereignty is upheld.
It is in this spirit that I will engage with our European partners.

Australian FM says Netanyahu ‚isolating Israel‘ amid escalating diplomatic showdown
Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong on Tuesday criticized Israel, saying the Netanyahu government is isolating Israel after it revoked visas for Canberraâs diplomatic representatives to the Palestinian Authority.
The move came a day after Australia denied entry to far-right Israeli politician Simcha Rothman and former Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked. The visa denials followed Canberraâs announcement that it plans to formally recognize a Palestinian state next month.
Repeal the Online Safety Act
We believe that the scope of the Online Safety act is far broader and restrictive than is necessary in a free society.
For instance, the definitions in Part 2 covers online hobby forums, which we think do not have the resource to comply with the act and so are shutting down instead.
We think that Parliament should repeal the act and work towards producing proportionate legislation rather than risking clamping down on civil society talking about trains, football, video games or even hamsters because it can‘t deal with individual bad faith actors.
