Sen. @ChrisMurphyCT says the U.S. spends 20 times more on military power than diplomacy and other nonmilitary tools.
He tells @davidsirota that a progressive foreign policy means reducing America's military footprint and investing in alternatives to war.

BREAKING: ๐ฉ๐ช ๐ฎ๐ฑ The German government has been hacked and all fingers point towards Israel.
Government officials have been warned that their new iPhones may have been infected with the new Israeli-invented zero-click spyware that infects your phone without you clicking on anything.
Israeli firms were just caught using this to hack MILLIONS worldwide.

Raskin: We now have the first-person accounts of five different women saying that they were sexually assaulted by Trump. And then we have another six women, for a total of 11, who link him to the whole network of sex trafficking of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Andy Barr will say anything to get elected, but his record tells the truth: He puts billionaires first and Kentucky last. He's been in Congress for years, yet suddenly he's talking about these issues now that he needs your vote.
Kentuckians deserve the truth:
- Andy Barr won't let working families keep more money - He cut $4.5 Trillion in taxes for billionaires
- Andy Barr is literally trading stock while in congress - Owns Key Bank stock while on the House Financial Committee
- Andy Barr has decimated medicare - He cut almost $1 Trillion from Medicaid
- Andy Barr has never held Washington accountable and has voted with Mitch McConnell 99% of the time.
- Andy Barr promotes endless war and tariffs that destroy small businesses and kills Kentucky farming.
Andy Barr puts his own interests ahead of Kentucky, and we can't let his lies go unchecked. It's time to end the corruption, hold him accountable, and finally put working families first.

Thomas Massie was right: Everyone in Congress (or running for Congress) has an โAIPAC babysitterโ.
At this point, how is America still a sovereign nation? ๐

Iโve been talking about this for months. Governor Abbott opened a Texas office in Jerusalem where Texas water and Texas cybersecurity can be controlled from.
But Texas were too busy talking about the Muslim propaganda they are using to distract us.

Italians refuse to stay silent and sit idle in the face of a genocide and the normalisation of war.
The global awakening has started and so the peaceful uprising against the globalisation of Apartheid.
Together we are ONE, standing for peace, human rights & love for one another.
๐ฎ๐น Tens of thousands of workers, students, truckers and farmers marched in more than 40 Italian cities on Friday in a general strike against soaring living costs, rearmament and European support for wars in the Middle East, including the genocide in Gaza, according to Italian news agency Adnkronos.
Police counted 30,000 in Milan, where marchers shut down the eastern ring road for three hours, while organizers claimed over 100,000, according to Italian broadcaster TGCom24. A speaker in Turin put the crowd there at more than 50,000. The grassroots union USB, which called the strike, claimed 2 million nationwide showed up to challenge Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's "war economy."
Protesters blocked the port in Genoa with burning tires, TGCom24 reported, and marched into Naples port, demanding that ports not be used to move "weapons, ammunition, military equipment and troops." In Rome, police charged about 300 students who threw stones and Molotov cocktails. At least 10 officers were injured in Mestre and Vicenza, according to Adnkronos.
Transport Minister Matteo Salvini had ordered rail, air, sea and transit workers to stay on the job, but the order was dismissed by USB as "illegitimate."

๐ง๐ท๐บ๐ธ Flรกvio Bolsonaro's escape from Brazil is starting to sound like an INTELLIGENCE OPERATION.
And apparently, it involved a former MOSSAD operative, Javier Milei's government and someone very close to Donald Trump.
According to CNN Brasil, Bolsonaro fled across the Argentine border with his wife and two daughters in TWO separate vans, accompanied by a former Israeli intelligence operative who is now a U.S. citizen.
From Argentina, the family boarded a private Gulfstream jet, stopped in Ecuador and landed in Miami on October 28.
And here's where things get particularly interesting.
Trump adviser Jason Miller reportedly helped arrange the aircraft, while officials connected to Milei assisted the operation.
All this happened just days after Bolsonaro lost Brazil's presidential election and was ordered to surrender his passports.
A defeated presidential candidate, a former spy, two foreign governments and a private jet.
That's a rather extraordinary amount of international assistance for someone simply trying to leave the country.

๐จ๐จApple basically told him that Israel has either just hacked his devices or is trying to.
He made the brilliant documentary on the Pager attack in Lebanon.
They literally destroyed his home last week.
Now this.
Yesterday, I received a security notification from Apple warning me that my iPhone had been targeted by a sophisticated mercenary spyware attack, involving technology of the kind developed by companies such as NSO Group, the Israeli firm behind the notorious Pegasus spyware.
Perhaps the most alarming aspect of Appleโs warning was its confirmation that such attacks target specific individuals โbecause of who you are or what you do.โ
This is not the first time I have been targeted by spyware. I was previously targeted with Pegasus in both 2017 and 2021.
I do not yet know who is behind this latest attack, or whether it is connected to my investigative documentary, The Trap, which I directed and co-produced. The film, available on Al Jazeera 360, exposed the details of the September 2024 pager explosions in Lebanon.
What is certain, however, is that the targeting of journalists with sophisticated spyware poses a grave threat to press freedom, the confidentiality of journalistic sources, and the very foundations of independent investigative journalism.

While gas prices are up 39% since Trump started his illegal Iran War, Exxonโs profits are up 130%, Chevronโs are up 185% and Shellโs profits nearly doubled.

Thank you, Senator @CaptMarkKelly, for your endorsement and support. Kentucky deserves leadership that puts people before politics, and Iโm ready to take that fight to Washington.
Letโs bring this one home, Kentucky!
