Two Registered Agents of Israel Are Working for Mike Rogers’ Senate Campaign

from Common Dreams

When Democratic US Rep. Haley Stevens announced her stunning flip to endorse Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers on Sunday, she did so with two registered agents of the Israeli government standing behind her, according to a report from Drop Site News.

The person who opened the press conference outside a Detroit church was Abigail Ronson, a spokesperson for the Rogers campaign, whom Drop Site found had registered as an agent working on behalf of the Israeli government under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) on May 18, 2026.

The registration lists Ronson as a part-time contractor for Clock Tower X, a communications company owned by Brad Parscale, a former campaign manager for President Donald Trump.

In May, Responsible Statecraft and The Intercept reported that through Clock Tower X, Parscale has run a multimillion-dollar operation funded by the Israeli government aimed at influencing American public opinion, which has turned dramatically against Israel amid its genocidal assault on Gaza and systematic ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in the West Bank.

This campaign reportedly involves producing and distributing pro-Israel content aimed at younger Americans, particularly conservatives and evangelical Christians, creating articles meant to influence artificial intelligence chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude to give answers favorable to Israeli narratives, and conducting text messaging campaigns to direct Americans toward pro-Israel content...

Neo-Nazi torture chambers are on the frontier of ‘European values’ projected through Ukraine

from RT

In Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, a fresh scandal has erupted. And while the Zelensky regime has a long and imposing record of spectacular misdeeds, this one has a quality all of its own.

For what has happened in the town of Petropavlovskaya Borshchagovka, effectively a suburb of the capital, brings together several of the most cruel, venal, and unscrupulous practices of EU-NATO Europe’s favorite gangster regime: mass kidnapping its subjects as military slaves for a Western proxy war against Russia, turning the same operation into a vicious extortion scheme, and using brutal violence – including torture and murder – to make it all go round.

In essence, local people rebelled against all of the above by laying siege to a below-the-radar holding pen for men caught in ‘busification’ raids and those trying to escape the meat grinder war by going AWOL.

‘Busification’ is of course the well-known practice of the Ukrainian establishment and its goon forces of dragging men – often with extreme violence – off the streets and public transport, from work and weddings, out of shops and their homes, really from any place you can imagine – to forcibly induct them into the Ukrainian military...

Sanders Calls for ‘Fundamental and Immediate Reform’ to Democratic Party If It Wins Elections

(Yes, end Citizens United. But also... do away with Super Delegates and return to 'paper, pens and plexiglass boxes for our elections) 

from Common Dreams

As a campaign season in which dozens of progressive candidates endorsed by US Sen. Bernie Sanders prevailed in primaries, the independent Vermont lawmaker urged his supporters across the country to “do all we can to bring out the vote to end Republican control of Congress,” while urging voters to look beyond the goal of reining in President Donald Trump.

“If the pundits are correct and Democrats are able to take back the House and even the Senate, the Democratic Party must undergo fundamental and immediate reform,” said Sanders in an email to supporters.

A Test for Israeli Democracy: Should Jews Ask Arabs to Join the Government?

from the NYT

Israel’s democracy is facing a huge test after Arab political parties made historic gains in last week’s election.

And opponents of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are facing an enormous dilemma over whether Arab lawmakers should now be given a share of power in a new government.

Mr. Netanyahu’s opponents secured a clear majority in the Parliament by winning 67 out of 120 seats. But 19 of these were won by the Arab parties, and their inclusion in a governing coalition is seen as so problematic by many Israeli Jews that opposition leaders are putting themselves through contortions looking for ways to form a government that would not rely on Arab lawmakers.

The aversion to building a government with the two main Arab factions — the United Arab List, or Raam, and the Joint List, which comprises three smaller parties — is enormously frustrating to political activists who helped drive Arab turnout to a near-record high of 77 percent last week.

Dozens gather outside a private house near Kyiv saying soldiers are being held and beaten there

 from Meduza

Several dozen people gathered outside a house in the village of Petropavlivska Borshchahivka in Ukraine’s Kyiv region on the evening of November 2, saying people were being held inside and that their captors “are torturing” them. Hromadske, Interfax-Ukraine, and other Ukrainian news outlets reported the incident.

Residents said several men who may have left their military units without permission were being held in the private home, along with service members from a Ukrainian National Guard unit. Residents tried to storm the property and force open the gates. One woman outside the house told journalists that her son was inside after officers from a Territorial Recruitment Center, Ukraine’s equivalent of a military enlistment office, detained him on his way to work.

Doctors, senior Kyiv regional police officials, and National Guard commanders soon arrived at the scene. A correspondent for the news agency UNIAN reported that four people were brought out of the house. One reportedly had a broken spine...

US carries out ‘defensive’ strikes on Iran’s Qeshm island in Strait of Hormuz

from Times of Israel

The US carried out strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz, an American official said late Monday on the eve of crucial midterm elections, which US President Donald Trump has signaled could mark the start of resumed war with Iran.

The strikes, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, appeared to be limited and were not a resumption of major combat operations, the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

Another official said the strikes were defensive measures against Iranians “using surface-to-air missiles against US assets.”...
