As Rail Executives Grow Richer, Train Derailments Have Become Commonplace

Alan Dershowitz Is Phoning in His Genocide Apologia

J. D. Vance Has Weakened His Rail Safety Bill at Lobbyists’ Request

The US Wants Saudi Arabia and Israel to Get Cozy
The US is pushing for a peace deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia that could involve the US signing a defense pact with the Gulf monarchy. The US would thus be obligated to militarily defend a state where democratic institutions do not exist, even in name.

Fifty Years After the Yom Kippur War, the US Should End Its Blank-Check Aid to Israel
