Trump has promoted a nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia. This is about a 30-year civilian nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia that promotes a pathway for uranium enrichment on Saudi soil and gives American companies exclusive rights to build the kingdom's nuclear infrastructure. This is ironic as Trump wants Iran to have no nuclear weapons in its nation. The elephant in the room is that such a deal can increase tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran as the Saudis are mostly Sunnis while Iran is mostly Shia. Many people in Congress oppose such a deal as it could disincentivize Iran from limiting its nuclear program according to Democratic Senator Chris Murphy. The proposal will be sent to Congress. Also, it is no secret that the Trump administration and the Saudi regime want massive economic profits to build up their economies. The Iranian war continues with Hegseth desiring $67 billion of extra money to continue the war when that would cut food stamps and social services that Americans desperately need to survive. This war is about American imperialism not some altruistic goal of democracy or freedom for all. This crisis of escalation is not beneficial to the American people or the Iranian people. There must be an end of this war to make sure that the world has mutual solutions being enacted.
One Judge said that Trump's attack on mail voting is unconstitutional. We have to vote. Voting is not the only thing that we need to so, but we should always protect the human right of voting. If voting never matters, why has Republicans tried to pass laws restricting the human rights to vote. The agenda of Project 2025 and MAGA are clear to even use federal agencies to monitor voting sites which is immoral. People should have access to transportation and other legal means to vote as efficient as possible. Also, Jack Smith's legal team is fighting what they deem a "meritless" criminal referral from a Republican Congressman over Smith's testimony. Jack Smith has been very vocal about his previous legal work. The truth is that Trump and his allies are targeting tons of people who disagree with Trump or investigated Trump for wrongdoing.
Some good news is that U.S. prosecutors from the DOJ has dropped the New York Times subpoenas in the Trump plane leak probe. The New York Times journalists reported on security concerns about Trump flying on a Qatari donated Air Force One. That plane could have tracking devices and all sorts of spying material on it. The subpoenas were issued by Manhattan U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton on July 10. This is part of the anti-First Amendment agenda from the Trump administration in trying to compel journalists to reveal confidential sources in leak investigations. Such actions only manipulate and prevent heroic reporting on various issues. The New York Times asked Judge Subramanian to throw out the subpoenas, because they were issued improperly and infringed on free press protections under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The Times said that the subpoenas were utilized to harass and intimidate journalists. It is no secret that Trump has tried to intimidate the media and networks in trying to spread his MAGA propaganda. The struggle continues, but we will be victorious in the end.
Todd Blanche will soon be voted by the Senate, so he will either be confirmed or not to officially be the United States Attorney General. Whether Todd Blanche will be confirmed or note by the Senate depends on a few amount of GOP Senators. Epstein survivors want Tillis and Cornyn to not confirm Blanche after Blanche's meeting with Epstein's victims. Blanche released many Epstein files with many of the personal information of the victims released. Senator Cornyn has not spoken about supporting Blanche or not involving confirmation. The Senators will not vote until the end of July of 2026. Blanche has failed many court cases. Blanche supported a Trump crime fund to defend Trump in legal cases, and the courts have ruled such a plan illegal. The Department of Justice has not promoted independent political views but being a client of the Trump administration to promote its interests. Blanche has fired hundreds of DOJ officials without just merit. This complicates the power of government and the execution of the real duties of the Department of Justice. We have to stand on our views in favor of universal health care, of immigrant rights, of black liberation, of opposition to imperialism, economic justice, etc.
Recently, a freedom fighter passed away who was Denise Oliver-Velez. She was a pioneer who was a black woman being a member of both the Black Panther Party of Self-Defense and the Young Lords. She was a lifelong activist and educator who lived to be 78 years old. She loved freedom and fought strongly against sexism. She was the first woman elected to the Young Lords Central Committee, a Puerto Rican human rights group that modeled on the Black Panther Party. She was the first black woman program director in public radio and taught at SUNY New Paltz. She spoke her mind, loved truth, and showed compassion to people In Fact, Democracy Now!'s Juan Gonzalez worked with Denise Oliver-Velez in the Young Lords. The lesson of her life is that the wisdom of the elders should always motivate the younger generation to fight for rightful social change. Also, living in these times when a fascist is President should give up motivation to liberate ourselves and the human race in general.
Rest in Power Sister Denise Oliver-Velez.
