Bernie Sanders Assails Democrats for Not Endorsing Mamdani
Bernie Sanders, a consistent voice for progressive values, is clearly frustrated. His recent statements, criticizing fellow Democrats for their silence on Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign in New York City, speak volumes. It’s not just disappointment; it’s a full-throated assault on the perceived disconnect between the party’s leadership and the aspirations of its voters.
Sanders believes Mamdani represents the future of the Democratic Party. His underdog campaign, fueled by grassroots support and a focus on issues like economic inequality and affordable housing, resonates with many. Sanders sees the reluctance of prominent Democrats to endorse Mamdani as a betrayal of core principles and a failure to recognize the shifting tides of political sentiment.… Continue reading
The Supreme Court ruled that federal immigration agents do not need reasonable suspicion to target individuals for immigration detention, opening the door to racial profiling. This decision overturned a lower court order that restricted ICE agents in Los Angeles from making arrests based on racially loaded categories. Justice Kavanaugh wrote the opinion, stating that factors like ethnicity, language, and occupation, combined with the high number of illegal immigrants in the area, could contribute to “reasonable suspicion.” Justice Sotomayor dissented, arguing that the ruling allows the government to target Latinos and those in low-wage jobs, disregarding Fourth Amendment protections.

On Sunday, law enforcement removed the White House peace vigil, a protest that had been in place for over four decades, following President Trump’s order to clear homeless encampments. Officials justified the removal by mislabeling the vigil as a shelter, despite it being protected by the First Amendment. The White House confirmed the removal, citing it as a hazard to visitors and part of the administration’s federal takeover of policing in the city. The vigil, established in 1981 to promote nuclear disarmament, is considered the longest continuous anti-war protest in U.S. history.

The Wall Street Journal published a photo of a birthday note Donald Trump wrote to Jeffrey Epstein, contradicting Trump’s assertion that it did not exist and the story was fabricated. The note, which was part of a collection celebrating Epstein’s 50th birthday, features a crude drawing of a naked woman and was signed by Trump. The president had previously denied writing the note and sued the Journal for its reporting on the matter, while Vice President J.D. Vance also questioned the story. Following the Journal’s story, sources close to Trump indicated his team attempted to stop the report’s release, but the story has still seen the light of day.

A new mural by the elusive street artist Banksy, depicting a judge beating an unarmed protester, appeared outside London’s Royal Courts of Justice.

A café employee reported that items like Nutella waffles were being sold for exorbitant prices, reflecting the difficulty in acquiring essential goods within Gaza, with costs significantly inflated. Journalist Mohammed Abu Saif noted that a vast majority of Gazans are unemployed and dependent on aid, unable to afford basic necessities. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) has declared parts of Gaza, including Gaza City, to be experiencing famine, with the potential for other regions to reach famine levels by the end of September, impacting 1.9 million people. Despite the publication of videos showcasing markets with food items by the Israeli Foreign Ministry, journalists have highlighted that the cost of these goods is beyond the reach of most Gazans.

In a recent opinion piece published in Russian media, Dmitry Medvedev accused Finland of preparing for war with Russia.

Both Russia and Finland have been increasing their border fortifications, with Russia responding to Finland’s actions by also bolstering its border defenses. Finland joined NATO in 2023 in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The Trump administration has petitioned the Supreme Court for an emergency order to maintain its hold on billions of dollars in frozen foreign aid. President Trump employed a pocket rescission, which effectively cut the budget without congressional approval. The central legal dispute revolves around $4 billion in congressionally approved aid that Trump stated he would not spend, citing a rarely used authority. The administration argues that the lower court’s injunctions harm the executive branch, while the opposition claims the funding freeze violates federal law and hampers critical international programs.

Epstein Birthday Letter With Trump’s Signature Revealed, the revelation of the infamous birthday letter, complete with Donald Trump’s signature, has sent shockwaves through the media and, unsurprisingly, stirred up quite a bit of controversy. The whole situation is just…well, it’s a lot. The drawing, in particular, has generated a considerable amount of discussion, and not the good kind.
The most striking aspect, perhaps, is the drawing itself. Some find it utterly bizarre, bordering on disturbing, and frankly, quite juvenile. The details, or lack thereof, in the depiction of the female figure are certainly raising eyebrows. The drawing’s proportions, specifically the underdeveloped breasts, are leading many to believe the image is more suggestive of a pre-pubescent figure than an adult woman.… Continue reading
