With little fanfare, and even less media coverage, last week the Senate Intelligence Committee took the first step in granting the Defense Intelligence Agency increased domestic spying authority, as well as decreased public accountability. With its new powers, the DIA could do something it has longed to do for years: spy on the American public.

Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald is trying to determine whether Vice President Dick Cheney had a role in the outing of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame-Wilson, individuals close to Fitzgerald say.

Two percent. That's the percentage of U.S. blacks who approve of President Bush's job performance, a new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll found...No amount of Rove's strategic and tactical skill can counter the televised imagery of modern-day savagery after Katrina. He and the neo-cons can only hope for a miracle to counter what the world has seen in the hurricane region.

I wrote these remarks down on Thursday, when a Washington Post columnist was pleading with Patrick Fitzgerald to please just go away, and a New York Times news article was claiming that if Lewis Libby leaked anything, he did so with the best of intentions.

Under the cloud of a possible indictment, Bush's top adviser Karl Rove returned yesterday to the grand jury investigating which member of the Bush White House leaked the identity of a CIA agent.

Iraqis voters overwhelmingly favor troop withdrawal from their country. New report shows the Iraq war costs US taxpayers almost $6 billion per month. To pay for it, big business and Republican-dominated tax advisory panel plans to advise Bush to raise taxes on working families. Was the New York terror hoax a diversionary tactic?

After a second indictment on the charge of money laundering by a Texas grand jury this week, a Houston newspaper is reporting that Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX) has changed his story about his involvement in illegal campaign finance transactions.

A growing list of Congress Members are not just speaking out about Bill Bennett's recent racist remarks on his radio show. Some of them are pressuring the network that airs his show, Salem Radio Network, and asking the sponsors that fund it to withdraw their support.

From DeLay's corruption to Bush and Dobson's conversations with God (She must feel like Dear Abby) to the "pro-torture nine," here are some fine examples of Republican ideology in practice.

Learn more about and take action against the Miers nomination and Bush's elimination of wage protections for hurricane victims. Alos support troop withdrawal and demand the prosecution of the Bush administration illegal use fo government resources to spread "covert propaganda."

And then it hits me: "Real world" America is about blind rage and deep divides...Then again, Highway 61 ends at the New Orleans Superdome, America's forgotten island of the damned and dispossessed, reminding all America that the highway still tells the unrelenting story of rich and poor, white and black, conservative and liberal.

The New Orleans tragedy has demonstrated that the Bush administration is showing the same contempt for the poor in its own nation as for the peoples of the South, including Cuba, affirms Remy Herrera, a researcher with the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) of France, and a professor at the Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.

I had never visited a city ravaged by war, but as I drove across the Mississippi Bridge into the heart of this devastated city with People’s Weekly World reporter Tim Wheeler last week, I felt that I was in a war zone. Debris filled the streets and a dreadful stench filled the air.

We provide a list here of the top Republican criminals, ethics violators, failures as leaders, and just plain stupid. Enjoy or throw up, whichever....

Tell your representative that you don't want someone indicted on criminal charges sitting in Congress. Report shows that Republican Medicare program costs more than existing VA drug program. Republicans are up to more Social Security privatization shenanigans. Study shows that spending on Iraq war cost the lives of thousands as a result of Katrina disaster.

Republican Rep. Tom DeLay (TX) should resign his position in Congress, not just his leadership role, say Washington corruption watchdog groups. According to a House Ethics Committee complaint... TRMPAC officials solicited funds from Texas-based energy company Westar. E-mails and internal memos show that DeLay and Westar communicated about donations, and that money was subsequently given to TRMPAC...
