"WE ARE AGAINST THIS ILLEGAL WAR!" Today in Congress, activists disrupted War Secretary Pete Hegseth's testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee. After killing or injuring over 35,000 Iranian civilians, Hegseth is asking Congress for a $1.5 trillion war budget next year.
Today in the Senate, we tried to hold a moment of silence for the children killed in the U.S. bombing on a school in Minab, Iran.
Today, ahead of Pete Hegseth's congressional hearing, we're demanding accountability for the U.S. airstrike that killed 168 schoolchildren and their teachers in Minab, Iran. This was a war crime, and Hegseth is responsible. Release the investigation now.
A Declassified CIA document reveals that the US accusations of "election fraud" in Venezuela were false. The U.S. has long used "democracy" and "election fraud" as justifications for their attacks that aim to suppress countries that exert their own sovereignty.

Who does Pete Sessions really represent? People in the U.S. don't want to fund Israel's genocide, and they don't want to continue this war on Iran. Sessions votes with AIPAC, not the people.
Today, we asked Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) if he was planning to vote to cut off money to Israel. Instead of answering the question, he deployed the same deflections we've been hearing for years now. He's received over $2 million from pro-Israel lobby groups.
In Venezuela, elders have been supported since the deadly earthquakes struck. Contrary to media lies, here's what Venezuelans are really experiencing. If these media companies cared about rescue, they would report on how US sanctions are seriously limiting recovery ability.
What should we fund instead of the $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget? Tell us: cutthepentagon.org
