 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The scandal over billionaire sex-trafficker Epstein and his ties to the American ruling class, including Donald Trump, has erupted into a major political crisis. By a vote of 51-48, the most august legislative political body in the US cast its support for the elimination of public broadcasting, first established in 1967 under Lyndon Johnson. These events highlight the falsity of claims that the regime change that took place in December 2024 with the support of the US and its allies, including Turkey, would bring democracy and peace to Syria, and point to the risk of a regional war. The report details the wholesale destruction by the Israeli state of educational, religious and cultural institutions in Gaza and on the West Bank. Philadelphia's municipal workers are voicing anger at their unions, AFSCME District Councils 33 and 47, charging that union officials continue to isolate rank-and-file struggles and push through deals that fall short of members' real needs. In the face of a total coverup by Tyson, complete silence from the United Food and Commercial Workers union, and a wall of state obstruction, Allison has received critical information and support from one crucial source: Casen's coworkers. Hardly any other government reacted to this massive escalation with such enthusiasm as the German one. There wasn't a single policy laid out that didn't concern the mad rush to rearmament and war, other than the intensification of anti-immigration measures. "It's Irresponsible to say these scientists were planning to commit agroterrorism." The preventable tragedy at Gabriel House demonstrates the potential suffering posed to vulnerable populations, particularly the elderly, by the savage cuts to social programs in Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" relied upon by millions. For an exercise nominally about the oppression of Aboriginal people, the Yoorrook Justice Commission was notable for its uncritical embrace of big business politicians and its celebration of the ascent of an Indigenous upper middle class. The demolition can only be halted through the mobilisation of the working class, not through appeals to the government carrying it out. Apart from the boost which an interest rate cut would provide for the speculators in financial markets, one of the factors in Trump's incessant demands for a rate reduction is the rising interest bill on US government debt. The "social" contract at Thyssenkrupp, agreed last weekend by the IG Metall union and the company's top management, represents a historic attack on workers. Suhail, 21, an aviation student from Mawanella, was arrested last year after being accused of posting an Instagram photo showing an Israeli flag being trampled. After the failure to extend the REINFO program and the rejection of MAPE, President Boluarte claimed that "Only illegal miners are on the streets," criminalizing artisanal miners. The same playbook used by the AFSCME union to sabotage the city workers' strike in Philadelphia is now being used by the Teamsters to limit and prepare to shut down the fight at Republic. Delivery drivers escalate protests in Germany, Italy; strikes and protests continue across Iran; workers begin indefinite strike in Ogun State, Nigeria The union leaders' declaration contains no call to arms to defend the core democratic rights now under state attack. No mobilisation is proposed of the millions of workers these leaders officially represent.
