 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The scandals connected to deceased sex trafficker and billionaire financial fixer Jeffrey Epstein have touched off a massive political crisis for the Trump administration. Veteran coal miner and crew leader Steve Lipscomb, 38, was found dead in the Rolling Thunder mine at 7:30am on Thursday, five days after he became trapped by a sudden inrush of water from an abandoned adjacent mine. This lecture examines the international operations of the US Socialist Workers Party under the direction of Joseph Hansen, exposed as an FBI agent by the Security and the Fourth International investigation. A recent Financial Times editorial pointed to unmistakable signs that the conditions for another financial crisis are maturing. As was the case in the Senate, several House Democrats joined their "Republican colleagues" in funding the fascistic Trump government. More than 570,000 people in Indiana—150,000 of them in the Indianapolis area—had their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits cut by 35 percent in the first week of November following the Trump administration's refusal to provide emergency funding for the federal program. Food insecurity in the Washington D.C. area remains high and will only grow in the aftermath of the federal shutdown and cuts to food stamps and other social programs. Today, the orientation to the traditions of the Wehrmacht is no longer a "tendency" but official policy. German imperialism is systematically preparing for a major war against Russia and has launched the largest rearmament programme since Hitler. For those reading this in Canada thinking this explosion happened in the US and thankfully it cannot happen here, they should look soberly at what our current Prime Minister is doing without any real pushback, and our experience at the National Steel Car plant in Hamilton, Ontario. Rank-and-file workers denounced the stab in the back by the USW bureaucracy as opposition grows to deal that would boost management's power over workers. If Mamdani's victory reflects the growing voter support for socialism in the United States, Mélenchon applauds it in order to block the independent mobilization of the working class that is necessary to bring down Trump in the US and Macron in France. By working to block and strangle the class struggle, Mélenchon's organization enabled Macron to install a new right-wing government that rules against the people. The university's cancellation of the exhibit escalates the right-wing suppression of political art, part of a broader campaign by the Trump administration and the ruling elite to impose ideological conformity and silence dissent. The idea that the dangers of world war and environmental catastrophe can be solved through a pacific restoration of "multilateralism" via the UN is a gross illusion. "The path forward lies in organizing independently—through the creation of rank-and-file committees democratically controlled by nurses themselves—to wage a genuine fight for your demands." The CHP won the most votes nationwide in the 2024 local elections. But the charges in the indictment portray its municipal work, election activities, and presidential candidate as criminal. Victoria, the country's second-largest public education system, sits at the centre of a crisis, with some of the lowest school funding and wages after more than 11 years of a state Labor government. Millions in vital aid funding remains suspended in an escalating diplomatic row over the Cook Islands' recent agreement with China. Doctors and health workers in Greece in national 48-hour stoppage over funding, staff shortages and pay; workers at Iran's South Pars gas complex strike and protest over pay and conditions; Nigeria's resident doctors continue national walkout over pay arrears and lack of funding About the WSWS The World Socialist Web Site is published by the International Committee of the Fourth International, the world Trotskyist movement, and its affiliated sections in the Socialist Equality Parties around the world.
