Before Kamala Harris became vice president, she had a clear message about dark money groups: they play a dangerously influential role in our political system. Now her campaign is reaping the rewards of massive donations from these very sources.
Last week, China responded to new US tariffs with a ban on exporting rare earth minerals. While both countries’ leaders engage in great power rivalry, they risk imperiling the green transition, which will rely on the trade of technology between nations.
Keir Starmer is running a government that allows children to go hungry and pensioners to starve, while defense contractors get billions. Former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn condemns his successor’s policies.
Israel’s bloody attack on Gaza has been unsparing and unceasing. It hasn’t stopped the Palestine Football Association from playing soccer.
Israel has killed at least 36 journalists during its bombing campaign in Gaza, at times even slaying reporters’ families. The media establishment, which a short time ago was rightly decrying the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, hasn’t said a thing.
Sunday’s Basque elections could see a historic victory for leftist pro-independence party EH Bildu. The Spanish media is obsessing over the party’s past links to separatist group ETA — and ignoring the social issues that are fueling its support.
In last night’s debate, Kamala Harris rightly insisted that much of the country is exhausted by and ready to move on from Trump. But we deserve to move on to something better and more substantive than what Harris had to offer.
The Biden administration barred two fossil fuel executives from taking board seats at Exxon and Chevron after finding they had schemed to fix oil prices. Now Trump wants to let them off the hook — after they donated millions to the GOP this past election.
The British vote to leave the European Union is often cited as a far-right breakthrough. But as anti-immigration parties surge across the EU, Europe's own claim to represent internationalist values looks increasingly in doubt.
The Communist International’s history is often told in terms of polemics among its leaders. But studying the biographies of lesser-known militants who came to Moscow gives a more real sense of the movement’s internal life and what it was like to belong to it.
One year after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell is obstructing the finalization of tougher capital requirements for banks — and increasing the chances of more turbulence.
Brazilian president Lula da Silva knows the dangers of the far right all too well, and during his visit to the US last week he laid out exactly how to defeat such reactionaries: not by striving for a false unity but by confronting the foes of democracy head-on.
J. D. Vance offended European colleagues on Friday by publicly doubting that they are champions of democracy. Some of the examples he cited were spurious — but the EU establishment’s shocked reaction itself spoke to their unreflective groupthink.
Viktor Orbán has ruled Hungary for most of its post-1989 history. Far from just a weird outlier, his rule is a product of Hungary’s integration into globalized capitalism — and increasingly sets an example for other EU member-states.
One of Joe Biden’s top priorities has been convincing a skeptical world to buy into the "rules-based international order.” His backing of the war in Gaza is completely undercutting that effort.
There’s nothing feminist about leaving numbers to the bros.
The EU has been trailing the US economically for decades, and the COVID-19 pandemic only made its situation worse. Does Mario Draghi hold the secret to restoring Europe’s productivity?
From the New York State Legislature to the halls of Congress, democratic socialist elected officials have been taking a brave stand against the bloodshed in Gaza — and calling for an immediate cease-fire.
The EU election showed how much the EU establishment has accepted far-right Italian premier Giorgia Meloni. She’s often cast as a pragmatist, yet her planned constitutional rewrite and attacks on media challenge the narrative of a benign moderate turn.
When oil prices plummeted during the pandemic, fossil fuel companies made vague efforts to invest in clean energy. Now pulling in bumper profits, Big Oil is discarding those initiatives to maintain their business model: capital over climate.
