Senator Bernie Sanders, one of the most prominent figures on the American political left, has long been considered a modern-day Eugene V. Debs, whether or not that label is accurate.

On today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report: Forget about the billions we send to prop up the Israeli military each year: The National Defense Authorization Act for 2027 contains a shocking provision that all but joins the US and Israeli militaries into one!

A new poll by Overton Insights shows the breadth and depth of opposition to a military draft – and how far members of Congress lag behind popular anti-draft (and anti-war) sentiment.

It began as a human rights mission: over 600 civilians on 72 boats from more than 45 countries, seeking to break Israel’s 19-year siege of Gaza. It ended with two Israeli-government assaults in international waters, including kidnappings, beatings, torture, sexual abuse, and violations of international law. And crucially, it ended with Israel losing legitimacy, not […]

Reprinted from John’s Substack: On 28 May 2026, I was on “Deep Dive” talking with Lt. Col. (ret.)

Marco Rubio has increasingly been pushed by the neocons to become the 2028 presidential nominee, and they seemingly view him as their “golden boy” who will keep the wheels of the war machine turning.
