 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Trump has also given the unelected billionaire control of a Treasury Department unit that carries out 90 percent of all federal payments, including Social Security checks and Medicare reimbursement. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited Panama on Sunday, to press demands for greater US control of the Panama Canal, backed by Trump's threat to illegally attack the tiny Latin American state and reconquer the canal. Trump's "paused" 25 percent tariffs will continue to hang like a sword of Damocles over both Canada and Mexico, as will the threat to the jobs and living standards of workers across North America. The threatened tariffs against Mexico, Canada and China are completely irrational from an economic standpoint but there is method in the madness. In the face of deportations and threats of arrest, thousands of people have participated in protests against the bipartisan war on immigrants in the United States. Student general assembly at Berlin's Humboldt University agrees to fight against cuts and militarism The fight against the cuts and mass sackings must be combined with the struggle against war and capitalism. The attack on sick pay on the pretext of "work-shyness" is cynical and dishonest. The same corporations and politicians behind it are responsible for the increased rate of illness from COVID-19 and other preventable diseases. Rene was living refutation of the foul slanders by political apologists for imperialism who denounce opposition to Zionism and the crimes of the Israeli state as "anti-Semitism."

The Fourteenth Amendment was the product of a democratic revolutionary change that sought to put the constitution on a genuine egalitarian footing. The recent fires in Los Angeles have laid bare the devastating consequences of capitalism, a system that prioritizes profit over safety. Thousands of grocery store workers in Colorado are set to walk off the job Thursday, following a 10 day strike in 2022. Workers and students rallied in Buenos Aires, opposing layoffs at Laura Bonaparte Hospital, a major national mental health institution, which is under attack from President Milei. The WSWS recently spoke to master musician Charles McPherson about the relationship between music, art and society. Now more than ever, it is urgent that workers take the initiative by building an alternative leadership to the bureaucracy that controls the National Association of Letter Carriers, in order to mount a fight against the Trump administration's attacks on the working class. The president hailed big business as "the engine of growth for the economy" and outlined sweeping privatisation and downsizing of the public sector. A historic cut to living standards has occurred, mostly since Labor scraped into office in May 2022, fuelling a political crisis. Boluarte's statements at Davos combined outright lies about her own regime and unconcealed contempt for the Peruvian working class. Price regulator Ofwat decided the industry can raise customer bills by up to 40 percent over the next five years to pay for upgrades while shareholders are rewarded generously. Delivery workers have slammed the pilot scheme. It is being introduced over their heads to bulldoze through Royal Mail's £300 million a year cost-cutting agenda, eviscerating the mail service and eliminating thousands of jobs.
