In CNN Interview, Harris Dodged Gaza Genocide and Damaged Her Election Prospects

NORMAN SOLOMON – Time is running out for Kamala Harris to distance herself from U.S. policies that enable Israel to continue with mass murder and genocide in Gaza.

Rahm Emanuel is in the Running for a Top Ambassador Post. The Prospect is Appalling.

Naming Emanuel to such a post would be an affront to many of the constituencies that got Biden elected. The saga of Emanuel’s three decades in politics is an epic tale of methodical contempt for progressive values.
