Sanders is capitalizing on this sentiment, framing the battle not just as a fight for policy changes, but as a struggle for the very soul of democracy itself.… Continue reading

Kennedy proposes addressing this perceived issue through the establishment of “wellness farms” for drug rehabilitation, a solution lacking scientific basis and potentially harmful due to its promotion of misinformation. His appointment has faced significant opposition from medical professionals concerned about the spread of his scientifically inaccurate claims.

This overture from China isn’t entirely surprising. It seems a natural response to the perceived self-inflicted wounds of the US administration. The recent actions and statements from the US have understandably raised concerns among its allies, leading to a reassessment of geopolitical alliances.… Continue reading

Georgia’s government, led by the Georgian Dream party, has implemented a “foreign agents” law, sparking widespread protests now in their third month. Despite initial concessions, the government has cracked down on dissent, resulting in numerous arrests, allegations of torture, and restrictions on assembly and media freedom.
