20 States Sue Trump Administration For Slashing FEMA Disaster Program

July 19, 2025 Cristen Hemingway Jaynes, EcoWatch. , , ,
A group of 20 states sued the Trump administration on Wednesday over the shutting down of a multibillion-dollar grant program with the purpose of strengthening natural disaster preparation and mitigation. The lawsuit filed in a Boston federal court contends that the United States Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) unlawfully eliminated its Building Resilient Infrastructures and Communities (BRIC) program, overriding Congress. The states said in the complaint that the shutdown’s impacts have been “devastating,” reported The Hill.

Trump’s Concentration Camps Are Not New To The United States

July 18, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
Donald Trump is perhaps unique among modern presidents in his determination to fulfill his very retrograde vision for the United States. He goes beyond the cajoling and arm twisting that other presidents were known for, and dispenses with precedent, the Congress and the law itself in order to realize a key part of his vision, getting as many Global South immigrants out of the U.S. as he possibly can. He was quite serious about enacting a mass deportation policy. Immigrants attempting to follow the law and legalize their status are set upon in courtrooms by masked agents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and are taken to detention facilities.

ICE Kidnappings Mirror World War II Germany

July 17, 2025 John Zangas, DC Media Group. , , ,
Arlington, VA—If anything is true about Tesla Takedown Arlington activists, it’s that they’re not afraid to take on bullies. On Saturday, they went after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), slamming it for its illegal kidnapping policy and the state-created chaos the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is spreading across the country. Several protestors brought signs written in Spanish “Chinga la Migra por Vida,” translating to F— ICE forever. This message connected with many dozens of Latino motorists passing the Arlington Tesla showroom on their way to and from weekend yard work, or various labor-intensive employments, judging by the tools and equipment they carried in their truck beds.

Trump Is Trying To Dismantle Public Health

July 17, 2025 Rob Wallace, Joe Sexauer and Rita Valenti, Truthout. , , , ,
From the streets to town halls and the courts, it’s a race now. The Trump administration is fighting to remain a step ahead of the growing popular backlash to its draconian cuts to social programs that millions of Americans depend on — at least until the administration operationalizes enough of the police state it’s practicing on immigrants to put down any such objection. Budget proposals and “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) cuts switching out the public commons for a police state make the regime’s objectives clear.

The IRS Is Building A Vast System To Share Taxpayers’ Data With ICE

July 16, 2025 William Turton, Christopher Bing and Avi Asher-Schapiro, Pro Publica. , , , , ,
The Internal Revenue Service is building a computer program that would give deportation officers unprecedented access to confidential tax data. ProPublica has obtained a blueprint of the system, which would create an “on demand” process allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement to obtain the home addresses of people it’s seeking to deport. Last month, in a previously undisclosed dispute, the acting general counsel at the IRS, Andrew De Mello, refused to turn over the addresses of 7.3 million taxpayers sought by ICE. In an email obtained by ProPublica, De Mello said he had identified multiple legal “deficiencies” in the agency’s request.

United States Government Is Very Afraid Of BRICS And Dedollarization

July 15, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , ,
Western corporate media coverage of the Global South-led organization BRICS is frequently dismissive and condescending. Bloomberg published an article claiming that BRICS is “little more than a meaningless acronym”. It appears that a lot of this criticism, nevertheless, is actually a coping mechanism, because evidence is piling up showing that the US government is very afraid of the rapid growth of BRICS. Donald Trump, in particular, is terrified of the possibility of BRICS challenging the global dominance of the US dollar. BRICS held a successful summit in Brazil in July, featuring for the first time the participation of 10 members and 10 partner countries. Trump responded with furious denunciation, threatening to hit all BRICS countries with 10% tariffs.

How Trump’s Proposed Cuts Could Devastate Tribal Colleges

July 12, 2025 Nora Mabie, In These Times. , , , ,
After losing her mother, sister and brother to diabetes, Joilynn Loves Him decided to study health at Northwest Indian College, a tribal college in Washington. Her experience at the school ​“has been life-changing.”  “The teachers make sure we’re successful,” Loves Him said. ​“They’re really there for students, and they understand that life happens. If I were at a normal Western college, I’m pretty sure I never would’ve made it.” Such sentiments about tribal colleges are common among students. Tribal colleges and universities are institutions of higher education, chartered by tribes, that aim to meet the educational and cultural needs of Native communities.

As Trump Threatens BRICS, It Grows Stronger

July 11, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , ,
The Global South-led organization BRICS has been growing in size and influence, and this has frightened some Western politicians. Donald Trump is particularly rattled. After he returned to the White House for his second term as US president, Trump threatened very high tariffs on BRICS, and falsely said he had destroyed the organization. “BRICS is dead”, Trump claimed in a press conference on 13 February. The US president stated: BRICS was put there for a bad purpose, and most of those people don’t want — they don’t even want to talk about it now; they’re afraid to talk about it. Because I told them, if they want to play games with the dollar, then they’re going to be hit with a 100% tariff, the day they mention that they want to do it. And they will come back and say, “We beg you, we beg you not to do this”.

Everything You Need To Know About War With Iran

July 11, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , ,
Following attacks on Iran by Israel and the United States, the world held its breath as the prospect of World War III loomed on the horizon. After 12 days of conflict, a ceasefire has brought about new uncertainty for the future. Former British diplomat Alastair Crooke joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report to make sense of the current situation in the Middle East and what can be expected in the coming weeks or months. Crooke details the lead up to the Israeli attacks, including the use of technology and neighbouring countries that allowed for the element of surprise. Cyber attacks, drones flown in from Azerbaijan and American military software served as crucial elements for the Israeli attacks on Iran.

Trump’s Big, Beautiful Attack On Public Health

July 11, 2025 Mike Pappas, Left Voice. , , ,
On July 4, President Trump signed his 1,000-page “Big Beautiful Bill” (BBB) into law. The bill permanently enacts several income tax cuts that were originally passed in 2017 while providing additional benefits to the wealthiest. It also includes significant funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) while rolling back environmental protections. The bill is a massive attack on the working class and will harm the most marginalized, all while adding $3.3 trillion to the national debt. It makes severe cuts to the social safety net, especially healthcare programs like Medicaid and Medicare, as well as other programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), otherwise known as food stamps.

EPA Workers Investigated For Defending Its Mission

July 11, 2025 Jenny Brown, Labor Notes. , , ,
After signing a critical letter to their boss, 139 EPA workers were put under investigation and on a 2-week paid administrative leave July 3. The workers wrote to EPA administrator Lee Zeldin that the mission of their agency is being undermined by the Trump administration’s actions and asked Zeldin to back away from “harmful deregulation, mischaracterization of previous EPA actions, and disregard for scientific expertise” and re-commit “to his oath to protect the health of the American people and our environment.” Under Zeldin, the EPA is reconsidering bans on asbestos, weakening rules on mercury, and extending deadlines to remove cancer-causing chemicals from drinking water.

Trump Dead-Ends Putin

July 9, 2025 Patrick Lawrence, Consortium News. , , ,
Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin have spoken by telephone numerous times since the former reassumed office seven months ago. Not much appears to have been  accomplished by way of these exchanges, some of which have been lengthy, according to the accounts Washington and Moscow have provided afterward. No progress toward a durable settlement to end the war in Ukraine. Talk and desultory diplomatic contacts with a view to repairing the profligate damage successive American administrations have done to U.S.–Russian relations, but no substantive advances. O.K., it is what it is, as we say. But there was something singularly conclusive about the telephone conversation the U.S. and Russian leaders had last Thursday.

Trump Freezes Over $6 Billion In Education Funding

July 9, 2025 Gwen Lee, Left Voice. , , ,
While President Trump signed his so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” into law this July 4 — locking in massive tax cuts for the wealthy and ramping up funding for ICE and the military — the Education Department quietly froze over $6 billion in federal education funding, throwing thousands of schools and community programs into limbo. The funding freeze, like the ugly spending bill, is part of Trump’s plans to slash programs that benefit the working class while deepening inequality and redirecting public money toward repression, privatization, and militarization. This also comes as Trump effectively dismantles the Department of Education via executive order with the full support of Education Secretary Linda McMahon, and giving ICE the green light to attack immigrant students and families through raiding schools, hospitals, and religious sites.

Watch: Netanyahu Skewered Outside White House

July 8, 2025 Consortium News. , , ,
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin was inside the White House Monday night meeting with Donald Trump. On the street outside protestors called for Netanyahu’s arrest, for which the International Criminal Court has issued a warrant. “Bibi, Bibi you can’t hide,” the protestors chanted. “You’ve been charged with genocide.” And: “Netanyahu you will see. Palestine will be free.” “We are here because Gaza is still standing,” one speaker said. “As we speak, Netanyahu is meeting with Trump crafting plans, not just for a future of deepened apartheid, but for the wholesale transformation of the Arab world. Economically, politically and culturally. This is not just a meeting. It is an agenda…for normalization. Normalization of genocide.”

Who Are The Real Terrorists?

July 8, 2025 Peter J. Greenhill, Popular Resistance. , , ,
Who are the real terrorists?  That is one of the important questions we all need to be asking ourselves.  It is a big challenge to write about this because every day there is a new deportation-related atrocity.  Now the deportation problem is active even in peaceful Hawai`i, where I live, and the picture is hideous and cruel.  The vicious effects of alarming, illegal, and lethal behavior by government agencies and departments, from the local to the federal level, are plain to see in this state, just as they are plain to see in almost every state.  It is an ugly picture that we, the people, cannot allow.  It is a reign of terror.
