Trump has been released in the FAO Schwartz of military toy stores, and he wants to use all the gadgets. This time around, the generals aren’t holding him in check. bit.ly/4sBFfMj

The notion of climate reparations—a debt that the rich, for once, owe to the poor—is a powerful but still marginal part of the official climate debate. That needs to change--and fast. bit.ly/4sS0lFF

It's Already A World War It's not too early to prepare for the end of this latest global cataclysm. @johnfeffer✍️ thewire.in/world/its-alre…

With his attack on Iran, Trump has stuck his knife (again) into the body of international law—but only after Putin already severed its femoral artery. bit.ly/3Pv4NMc

Trump wasn't punished for trying to overturn an election. U.S. officials with Epstein connections haven't resigned. Trump attacks Iran without providing a coherent rationale. The United States is becoming as unaccountable as Russia under Putin. bit.ly/40IJdGp

The Silver Lining Behind Trump's Tariff Tantrum The Supreme Court's recent decision is a sign that U.S. institutions are attempting to claw back authority from an overreaching executive. John Feffer✍️ thewire.in/world/the-silv…

@TheKingCorcoran @commondreams Except that the Supreme Court has determined that it's not within the law. You can't get a higher opinion than that.

@commondreams @johnfeffer Using executive authority isn't overreach when it's within the law.

The court decision—on top of other judicial setbacks Trump has faced—may well mark the high tide of the president’s overreach, writes @johnfeffer. commondreams.org/opinion/trump-…

Trump's recent trade tirades are tinged with desperation, like a toddler who can't exit its crib no matter how much it shakes its rattle. The only solution: take away his toys before he hurts himself and everyone else. The Supreme Court has shown the way. bit.ly/4tUSad3

America First Means America Alone f.mtr.cool/nkccpzgzzl Trump is now turning the United States into a “bad cop.” Let’s hope that he learns a lesson about the limits of his power before he goes apocalyptically rogue. @johnfeffer

The only principle Trump now invokes in his foreign policy is the infamous law of the jungle. He believes that power — its threat and its exercise — is all that matters for apex predators like the US. The rest is just the chittering of potential prey. bit.ly/40llhbS

That’s exactly the kind of police officer that Donald Trump aspires to be, wielding power not on behalf of principle but in the service of personal gain and autocratic control, writes @johnfeffer. commondreams.org/opinion/trump-…

From TomDispatch this morning: Donald Trump may be the first American president to treat international law as if it were as fictional as intergalactic law -- John Feffer, "MAGA Outgrows Isolationism, And Yet America First Means America Alone" tomdispatch.com/maga-outgrows-…

What’s happening today in both Gaza and the West Bank is a deliberate effort by the Israeli government to change the facts on the ground and make any “two-state solution” a territorial impossibility. bit.ly/4rvWNZP

China isn’t just eating our lunch. The Trump administration is preparing the meal and delivering it all the way to Beijing on a silver platter. bit.ly/4qYgJny

Wannabe King of the World Via @NatCounterPunch by Scoville Fellow '88 @johnfeffer. counterpunch.org/2026/02/03/wan…

From Belarus and Russia to Saudi Arabia and Israel, Trump is peace-washing some of the worst human rights violators in the world. bit.ly/3NJ4Q6l

The Trump administration shouldn’t be surprised when the world that it is trying to turn upside down unites against it, writes @johnfeffer. commondreams.org/opinion/trump-…

From health care to climate change to Greenland, the Trump administration is doing everything it can to harm people and the planet. Trump and company are like comic book villains, and their supporters don’t even realize it. bit.ly/3LunPAZ

Protests could topple the Iranian government. Trump could launch an attack. And #Iran could be the next in a series of countries that Russia has effectively abandoned around the world. bit.ly/4sHuLLM
