Sen. Jeff Merkley challenged Secretary Marco Rubio’s claim that no deaths resulted from the USAID shutdown, citing estimates from public health experts that more than 500,000 children may have died after aid programs were abruptly halted. He urged restoration of global health programs.

From 50% to 60%, then “70%.” The crowd chants “100%” as if civilian lives are a scoreboard. This is what unchecked militarism sounds like: territory counted in percentages, human suffering erased in applause. History records these moments long after slogans fade.
A Guardian report says even if the US-Israeli war on Iran ended immediately, American gas prices may take months or years to return to pre-war levels. Damage to oil infrastructure and disruption around the Strait of Hormuz continue to fuel inflation and public anger.
Iran’s meme factory just gave America the most accidental bipartisan image of 2026: Trump shaving Netanyahu while the “Epstein Files” poster hangs in the background. AI propaganda has officially reached the barbershop phase of geopolitics. Even satire abroad now understands dependency optics better.

A Palestinian child was killed while carrying water after waiting hours in line—highlighting the severe humanitarian toll of the Gaza crisis, where civilians, including children, continue to face extreme risk amid ongoing military operations and collapsing access to basic needs.
A federal judge signaled that the Trump administration’s so-called “weaponization fund” may have emerged from collusive litigation and could amount to fraud on the court. The judge cited the $1.8 billion settlement and concerns that the parties were not true adversaries.
When a state declares its strategic assets non negotiable, it signals mistrust deeper than diplomacy can hide. Iran keeping enriched uranium off the table suggests these talks are less about disarmament and more about leverage, deterrence, and regional power.
More than 100 women and children were reportedly killed after an airstrike struck a school in Minab, Iran, during the opening phase of U.S. military action. Sky News says key questions remain unanswered as investigations continue into one of the war’s deadliest civilian tragedies.
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth joined Marines and Sailors aboard the USS Boxer in Singapore for an early morning training session during his Shangri-La Dialogue visit. Hegseth also met Defence Minister Chan Chun Sing to discuss bilateral defence cooperation.
Public libraries are not charity projects needing annual survival battles. Zohran Mamdani’s budget locks in $31.7 million in permanent funding across NYC’s three library systems, treating knowledge, literacy, and public space as essential democratic infrastructure.

Sec. of “War” Hegseth told our top generals that the military is unfit. He laid out an anti-woke vision to weed out “dudes in dresses” and men with beards [blacks]. Trump upped the ante with claims of an “invasion from within.” The message from both to Americans: “FAFO.”
