 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The Democrats are seeking a rearrangement in the House that will make countless billions in financing for the Ukraine war inviolable, and in exchange they will agree to anything. Autoworkers have reacted with disgust and hostility following the announcement by UAW President Shawn Fain in a Facebook livestream broadcast Friday that no new plants will be called out on strike. The following statement was issued by General Motors workers in the Lansing, Michigan area. Autoworkers must learn the main lesson from the struggles of rail workers and NSC workers, which is the need to build rank-and-file committees in every plant as fighting organizations of the working class, independent of the pro-company unions.

The cancellation comes amid growing class tensions over rising living costs, mounting government attacks on democratic rights, and NATO's escalating war on Russia in Ukraine. While 28 million out of 43 million college loan borrowers are being forced to resume repayments this month, the Biden administration is continuing to protect the financial interests behind the fleecing of the public by the student loan system. Nothing good for the actors will come out of these behind-closed-doors talks. Actors should immediately demand that they know the contents of these negotiations. The election of a pro-Beijing president will lead to intensification of geo-political rivalry between US-India and China over the influence in the Maldives—a small Indian Ocean archipelago. The campaign for New Zealand's October 14 election enters its final week with both major parties deeply unpopular and united in preparing escalating attacks on the working class at home and war abroad.
