Where was Trump during the transfer of four soldiers killed in Lithuania?

President Trump missed the transfer of four soldiers killed in Lithuania. Why did he let this happen? He has said he was not briefed about four U.S. Army soldiers reported missing during military exercises in Lithuania when asked about it by a reporter at the White House. When he was campaigning, he was all over military members being killed and trampling all over Arlington cemetery and when a reporter told him it is illegal to campaign at Arlington National Cemetary, his answer was, "No one told me about it!"
 
Americans were outraged after they learned that Lithuania's President held a ceremony honoring the fallen soldiers who were killed in Lithuania during a training accident and Trump missed the dignified transfer for the soldiers. Reason? The President was seen playing golf with his son Eric at his Trump National Doral Miami golf course.

Veteran groups also were disgusted that there was no outrage about Trump even lying about the dignified transfer of the fallen soldiers, “It’s one thing to not go.

Breaking the Silence on Palestinian Armed Struggle: A Call for Legal Clarity

On February 22, 2024, China's Ambassador to The Hague, Zhang Jun, uttered the unexpected.

His testimony, like that of a number of others, was meant to help the International Court of Justice (ICJ) formulate a critical and long-overdue legal opinion on the legal consequences of Israel’s occupation of Palestine. 

Zhang articulated the Chinese position, which, unlike the American envoy's testimony, was entirely aligned with international and humanitarian laws.

But he delved into a tabooed subject—one that even Palestine's closest allies in the Middle East and Global South dared not touch: the right to use armed struggle.

Stop sign saying Stop Fracking

The Ohio Statehouse is in full swing, doing what it does best, which is to try to boost fracking of our beloved state parks, wildlife areas, and public lands. However, push back DOES work -- we've already gotten positive changes into one bill, and we need to keep pushing.

Help stop deportations

Woman being dragged

The federal government is escalating its outrages, snatching people off the street, sending people to a prison in El Salvador, claiming the power to act outside all laws including the U.S. Constitution.

You can add your name to a petition from a big coalition pushing back here.

The U.S. Congress is advancing legislation to strip sanctuary cities and states of rights and protections, as well as legislation to specifically do that to the city of Washington, D.C.

Tariffs can be useful — but not how Trump is using them

Indian woman

President Donald Trump has said “tariff” is “the most beautiful word in the dictionary.” He claims tariffs will restore American trade supremacy, bring lost jobs back to the United States, and most bizarrely, replace income taxes.

Tariffs can be a useful tool to regulate global trade in the interest of jobs, wages, labor rights, the environment, and consumers — if applied correctly.

A Different Approach is Needed for Survival in the Nuclear Age

Nuclear symbol

Amid growing international chaos, it should come as no surprise that nuclear dangers are increasing.

The latest indication is a rising interest among U.S. allies in enhancing their nuclear weapons capability. For many decades, remarkably few of them had been willing to build nuclear weapons―a result of popular opposition to nuclear weapons and nuclear war, progress on nuclear arms control and disarmament, and a belief that they remained secure under the U.S. nuclear umbrella. But, as revealed by a recent article in London’s Financial Times, Donald Trump’s public scorn for NATO allies and embrace of Vladimir Putin have raised fears of U.S. unreliability, thereby tipping the balance toward developing an expanded nuclear weapons capability.
