To Make America Healthy Again, Break Up Big Ag

March 30, 2026 Amanda Claire Starbuck, Counter Punch. , , , ,
President Trump has systematically broken virtually every promise made on the campaign trail to court health-focused voters. His most recent walk-backs on pesticide reform are a cruel insult to the idea of “making America healthy again.” Among other controversies, he issued an executive order to boost the production of glyphosate, a toxic pesticide linked to cancer. And he’s repeatedly sided with Bayer in a Supreme Court case that will determine legal immunity from health-related lawsuits for pesticide manufacturers. Voters of both parties are hungry for a new path forward.

Seattle Against War Occupies The Office Of Rep. Adam Smith

March 27, 2026 Jeremiah Baxter, Fight Back! News. , , ,
Seattle, WA — On March 26, eight members of Seattle Against War (SAW), along with allies in the anti-war movement, staged a sit-in at the office of Representative Adam Smith (WA-09). At time of writing, the sit-in is ongoing. Representative Smith, who claims to oppose Trump’s attacks on Iran, has a track record of voting in favor of every war initiated since entering office in 1997. “In keeping with this pattern,” wrote Seattle Against War in a press release issued simultaneously with the start of the action, “[Smith] has yet to back up his empty words of opposition with so much as a single piece of action.”

Student Association Tells Congress: Save Education, Stop The Save Act

March 27, 2026 Brooklyn Crawford, People's World. , , ,
Washington, DC — “The reality is that our opposition has a lot of money, a lot of power, a lot of momentum. And so it’s our job to ensure that all of us are clear about the assignment,” Gresia Martinez told delegates gathered in D.C. this past weekend for the United States Student Association’s 48th national grassroots legislative conference. Martinez is executive director of United We Dream, the largest immigrant youth-led network in the country. She said student activists have to “be relentless, not seek out easy or short victories…and look at the long arc.” The good thing, she said, is they don’t have to do it alone.

Postmaster General Says USPS May Shut Down In A Year

March 23, 2026 Mark Gruenberg and John Wojcik, People's World. , ,
Washington, DC - The post office has been around since before the signing of the Declaration of Independence. In its early years, no one ever asked how much profit it would make. The need of the people to have a means of cross-country communication and of businesses small and big to have the same was paramount. So, over the centuries, a public entity, the Post Office, was built and expanded. It met that need and, in so doing, made the U.S. a more democratic nation by providing everyone equal access to a vital service. The USPS is totally unlike FedEx or UPS—private entities that lay off thousands of workers when the profits of top executives are not high enough.

An ER Physician Writes About What Healthcare Should Look Like

March 23, 2026 Dr. James Martin, Substack. , , ,
During my years in the emergency department, I have seen the awful impacts of delayed care. When I practiced at Michael Reese Hospital many years ago, it was distressingly common for me to treat young men with kidney failure. Why? Because their high blood pressure went untreated due to a lack of health coverage to pay for doctor visits and simple medications. They waited until their health issues became unbearable—and much more expensive to treat. We can do so much better than this, and growing numbers of Americans—including 90% of Democrats in a recent Gallup poll—are starting to demand that we replace our “starter home” with a much more durable health care system.

Millions Of Americans Joining The Ranks Of The Uninsured

March 22, 2026 Julia Conley, Common Dreams. , , ,
About 24.3 million Americans were enrolled in healthcare plans within the Affordable Care Act marketplace last year, but a survey released Thursday by KFF found that about 1 in 10 of those people had no choice but to make a difficult and risky calculation at the end of 2025 when ACA subsidies expired due to Republicans’ refusal to support an extension. According to the research, 9% of people enrolled in plans under the marketplace last year are now uninsured, having dropped their coverage—and costs were a deciding factor for the vast majority of those who left the marketplace.

GOP Farm Bill Set To Unleash Pesticide Use

March 15, 2026 Michael Arria, Truthout. , , , , ,
The “Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026” that is coming up for a House vote this spring is yet another GOP-led assault on the country’s food safety, warn public health organizations, environmental groups, and animal rights advocates, who are sounding the alarm over the five-year bill. The House Committee on Agriculture passed the “Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026” on March 5 by a 34-17 vote. All 27 Republicans on the committee backed the bill, and seven Democrats crossed the aisle to join them. The legislation will now head to Congress.

Trump ‘War Department’ Endangers Everyone Who Flies In US

March 1, 2026 Mark Gruenberg, People's World. , , , ,
Washington—The so-called “War Department” led by Trump-picked Pete Hegseth has made sure that every American boarding any kind of flight in the nation will be exposed to the dangers that brought down a passenger jet and helicopter over the Potomac in the nation’s capital, January 29, 2025, killing everyone on board both flights. Opposition from what President Donald Trump is now calling the “War Department,” formerly the Department of Defense (DOD), grounded a union-backed air safety bill that flew through the Senate in December.

United States Military Poised To Attack The Islamic Republic Of Iran

February 27, 2026 Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action, Popular Resistance. , , ,
The United States military, acting on orders from President Donald Trump, is poised to attack the Islamic Republic of Iran, a dangerous act that could set off a catastrophic regional war. The Trump administration has deployed the United States Military across the Middle East, with two aircraft carrier groups, and fighter jets, bombers and other weaponry, poised within striking distance of Iran. We have not seen anything like this since the military buildup preceding the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. In his State of the Union Speech on February 25th Trump said that, "We are in negotiations with Iran. They want to make a deal, but we haven't heard those secret words: 'We will never have a nuclear weapon.’" 

NED Leader Cut Off In Congress, Boasts Of ‘Deploying’ Starlinks To Iran

February 25, 2026 Max Blumenthal and Wyatt Reed, The Grayzone. , , , ,
Damon Wilson, the head of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), was interrupted by a member of Congress during a House oversight hearing on February 24 after revealing that his agency “began supporting the deployment [and] operation of about 200 Starlinks early on” amid the violence which swept through Iran last month. Before he could finish the sentence, he was cut off by the ranking member of the House Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs, Rep. Lois Frankel, who told Wilson: “You know what, I’m going to interrupt you – we’d better not talk about it.”

Action Alert: Stop And Defund ICE, Restore Benefits For Immigrants!

February 22, 2026 A Coalition, Popular Resistance. , , , , ,
As mothers and other caregivers, we are furious and deeply upset at the reign of terror being imposed on immigrants, our families and those standing with us. We are outraged at ICE’s cruel and brutal separations of children from their mothers and fathers. We have seen this tactic of breaking up families used in Black, Native American and other poor communities by the child “welfare” system which tears families apart. African, Asian, Caribbean, Latin American and other communities of color are being criminalized and our children traumatized.

Private Prison Companies, Executives Have Donated Millions To Congress

February 6, 2026 Elizabeth Weill-Greenberg and Ethan Corey, In These Times. , , , ,
Leading for-profit prison companies donated about half a million dollars to Republican members of Congress currently in office, and $58,000 to Democratic congressmembers, from 2021 through 2025, according to an investigation by The Appeal. Executives at these firms have also donated millions of dollars to candidates, political parties, and political action committees (PACs). More than 70,000 people are currently being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the majority of them are incarcerated in private prisons.

Protester Speaks Out In US Senate: US Committed A War Crime

January 30, 2026 Yuleidys Hernández Toledo, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
“Bombings, killings. That is a war crime,” said a protester during a public appearance of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio this Wednesday, January 28. Rubio was questioned before the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee about the illegal actions carried out by the US against Venezuela on January 3—an operation that included the bombing of populated areas in Caracas, Miranda, La Guaira, and Aragua and the kidnapping of the constitutional president, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife, Cilia Flores. The protester’s outcry occurred less than a minute after Marco Rubio—widely known for his warlike policy against Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua—began to justify the actions that clearly violated international law.

I Used To Be A Critic Of The Two-Party System

January 15, 2026 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
I am told that if I don’t like what “my government” is doing, I should write “my representative.” So I dropped Senator Adam Schiff a note about the US war on Venezuela. The senator’s reply, with my translations of his Washington-speak (in italics) provided in brackets, is as follows: “I have been opposing the administration’s unlawful use of force against targets [a sovereign country] in the region…the U.S…conducted an operation [act of war] on January 2-3, 2026, to capture [kidnap] the illegitimate [lawful] leader [president] of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro. Maduro is a thug [not Trump] who has terrorized and oppressed [defended] the Venezuelan people for far too long [Trump should have done it sooner], and he will now face trial in a New York [foreign jurisdiction] court.”

Coalition Demands That Congress Withdraw Journalist Subpoena

January 14, 2026 Kevin Gosztola, The Dissenter. , , ,
A coalition of media associations, press freedom groups, and civil liberties organizations urged members of Congress to withdraw a subpoena against journalist Seth Harp. They also called out Republican Representative Anna Paulina Luna, who proposed the subpoena and then referred Harp to the Justice Department for prosecution.  “The subpoena has few parallels or precedents in recent history and poses a grave danger to the First Amendment’s guarantee of press freedom,” the coalition declared in a letter [PDF] addressed to the House of Representatives.
