When customers go grocery shopping, they expect to find quality products that will feed their families and are produced in legal and responsible ways. Yet many supermarkets are buying products from some of the most environmentally destructive suppliers on the planet.

Former national security adviser John Bolton is about to learn that the government’s pre-publication review process is little more than a violation of the First Amendment’s free speech rights.

If you rely only on the New York Times to understand events in Syria, you likely have the idea that the peaceable people of the Idlib province in the northwest of the country have for some years now been subjected to gratuitous attacks by the Syrian and Russian air forces that, for some unknown reason, seem to have illegally “targeted” hospitals and schools.

I am in complete agreement with Russell Freedman and William D. Hartung, the authors of the Jan. 23 oped "Iran must not sidetrack defense spending military debate."

Ben Freeman talks with TRT about the Saudi Crown Prince, a hacked cell phone, and how the US should respond to this latest scandal.

Despite hopes to the contrary, the $738 billion Pentagon spending bill that sailed through Congress in December missed a number of key opportunities to make America and the world safer. And now the threat of war with Iran could derail serious discussion about how much we actually need to defend the country.

The United States is largely in an arms race with itself, but the media typically ignore bloated defense spending.
