Handcuffed by situations which they are powerless to change. I spent countless hours talking to people like this from Southeast Asia to North Africa. Their immediate circumstances couldn't have been more different. They hailed from radically dissimilar backgrounds; they were of different races, ethnicities, and religions. But they were bound together by one unifying force: organized, armed violence. Or, rather, the imposition of it upon them. These people were just living their lives when war arrived on their doorsteps. November 14, 2026 at 5:00 AM EST Will Senate Religious Freedom Bill Actually Protect Land Sales for Israeli Settlements?

The new bill, a national version of a controversial law passed in smaller jurisdictions, could hamper demonstrations against illegal sales of land in the West Bank to Jewish settlers that occur inside U.S. synagogues, the advocates say.

November 13, 2026 at 2:29 PM EST Israel Used a U.S.-Made Missile to Kill Six at Gaza's Nasser Hospital Throughout Israel's war on Palestine, doctors Thaer Ahmad and Feroze Sidhwa spent months at Nasser Hospital in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, where they provided care as volunteers and survived a raid and an airstrike on the complex. On Wednesday evening, they were in an Uber in New York headed to a screening of their film about their timein Gaza when they realized Nasser was the target of another Israeli airstrike. November 13, 2026 at 12:39 PM EST The Hegseth Vote Was Jeffries's First Big Test. He Failed.

But on Tuesday night, Democrats in the House failed the first test of their incoming majority. An impeachment resolution introduced Monday by Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., targeting Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, one of the main architects of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, provided Republicans with a chance to score an early victory.

And Tom Morello on Fighting for the World You Want Secretary of defense Pete Hegseth narrowly avoided impeachment on Tuesday, but his future is anything but secure as an enraged Democratic caucus prepares to take control of both the House and Senate in January. November 13, 2026 at 5:00 AM EST Next Time, Impeach Pete Hegseth for Press Censorship Secretary of War Pete Hegseth attends a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia, to mark Veterans Day on November 11, 2026.Photo: Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images Before the effort to impeach him failed Tuesday, Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth lashed out at a group he despises even more than "beardos" and "weirdos": the press. His security team threatened to physically remove journalists from a news briefing, Hegseth's first in several months, if they didn't maintain decorum. November 13, 2026 at 4:00 AM EST Trump Subpoenas Teachers Union for Info on Pro-Palestine Students The Trump administration quietly broadened its crackdown on campus pro-Palestine protests over the summer, moving to ensnare one of the largest unions in the country in a case revolving around alleged incidents of vandalism. The national headquarters of the American Federation of Teachers, or AFT, received a grand jury subpoena in August as part of an ongoing federal investigation into protests at the University of Michigan. Twelve pro-Palestine activists have been charged with felonies in the case. November 12, 2026 at 4:05 PM EST Oklahoma Drops Murder Charge Against Richard Glossip, Avoiding Third Trial Less than a month before he was scheduled to stand trial a third time, accused of a murder he has always sworn he did not commit, Richard Glossip on Thursday agreed to plead guilty to a lesser charge, a final step toward bringing his three-decade legal saga to an end. Glossip, 63, was twice convicted and sentenced to death for the 1997 murder of his boss Barry Van Treese inside Room 102 of the rundown motel the Van Treese family owned on the outskirts of Oklahoma City. A 19-year-old maintenance man named Justin Sneed admitted to killing Van Treese, but he insisted Glossip put him up to it. Sneed, who is currently serving a life sentence, escaped the death penalty by becoming the star witness against Glossip. November 12, 2026 at 12:48 PM EST New Trump Rule Threatens Immigrant Families With Separation or Homelessness The Trump administration is preparing to kick nearly 80,000 people, about half of them children, off federal housing assistance over their family's immigration status, threatening to drive thousands into homelessness.

November 12, 2026 at 6:00 AM EST Humanitarian Orgs Demand Answers on Yemen War After Hegseth Impeachment Fails With Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth temporarily safe from impeachment, a dozen humanitarian groups are calling on Congress to investigate one of the eight shelved charges lodged against him: his role in the deaths of hundreds of people during the "unauthorized war in Yemen." "We urge members of Congress to conduct robust oversight into Operation Rough Rider and the resulting human toll," reads a new letter shared exclusively with The Intercept, using the Pentagon's term for its war against Yemen's Houthi government. The 12 groups -- including Airwars, Amnesty International USA, the Center for Civilians in Conflict, and Mwatana for Human Rights -- seize on civilian harm prevention efforts that Hegseth's War Department slashed, demanding "more information about how and why civilian harm incidents occurred, what lessons the Department learned from these operations, and the status of ongoing civilian harm assessments and investigations." November 12, 2026 at 5:00 AM EST Trump Taps Campaign Lawyer and Pardon Adviser for Top U.S. Intel Agency As a lawyer on President Donald Trump's 2024 reelection bid, Gary Lawkowski filed a complaint against the Washington Post for supposedly making an in-kind contribution to the Kamala Harris campaign by buying social media advertising for its articles.
