 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The budget resolution mandates $880 billion in cuts in healthcare and $230 billion in cuts in food stamps over the next 10 years, helping finance more tax cuts for the wealthy. Recalling the forced registration and deportation of German Jews under the Nazis, the Trump administration is ordering immigrants to provide names, addresses and fingerprints to immigration police to hasten deportations. Israel's offensive in the West Bank is part of broader plans to expand Zionist settlements and eventually annex the West Bank—first expelling the Palestinians from Area C, assigned by the 1993 Oslo Accords to Israel's full military control and making up 60 percent of the Palestinian territory. Starmer's hastily assembled proposal paid for with the low-hanging fruit of overseas aid does not allay the demands of the military chiefs who met with him earlier this month in Downing Street. Opposition is building to the Trump-Musk regime, but that resistance needs greater political clarity, depth and understanding. Artists must play a role in this. The death of the unvaccinated school-aged child marks the first fatality from measles in the United States in 10 years. The International Workers Alliance of Rank-and-File Committees and Ford Workers Rank-and-File Committee are hosting a meeting Sunday at 3 p.m. EST to demand an end to Ford's police raids and defend democratic rights. The workers, including nurse case managers, mental health counselors, pharmacists, lab technicians and janitors started two- and three-day strikes on Wednesday. Bolsonaro is seeking to benefit from the election of Trump, whose government has promoted fascist forces to establish governments of, by and for the oligarchy globally. Police on Tuesday arrested and issued "very, very serious" federal criminal charges against one of the Bankstown Hospital workers being persecuted by the media and the governments in Israel and Australia. Whatever the outcome of the trial, the country's political crisis will continue as President Yoon whips up far-right forces in the face of the spinelessness of the opposition Democrats and their allies. If Ford and the Progressive Conservatives win today's provincial election, they will intensify healthcare privatization. The transformation of healthcare into a commodity has been facilitated by the unions' suppression of working class opposition. Resident physicians, interns and medical fellows routinely work 80-hour weeks for $15 or less an hour. The nurses must take control of their own struggle and prevent the Federation of Nurses/UFT from calling off the strike at the last minute. More than 20,000 teachers have been working without a contract for eight months as the CTU-backed mayor refuses to accept even the most modest wage and staffing demands of educators. Workers cannot rely on the trade union bureaucracies, who have become an apparatus of the capitalist government and supporters of international finance capital. Glossip, 62, was granted a new trial by the US Supreme Court in a 5-3 decision which said his constitutional right to due process was denied when he was unfairly convicted of the 1997 murder of his employer based on false testimony. The Victorian government has unveiled plans to destroy between 2,000 and 3,000 public sector workers' jobs, using language that echoes that of Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
