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....

While the Bush administration has consistently accused democratically elected President Hugo Chávez of "weakening democratic institutions" such as a free media in Venezuela, an audit released last week by the bi-partisan Government Accountability Office (GAO) shows that Bush administration's policy of paying media personalities to promote its programs was "covert propaganda" and illegal.

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...

It's one thing to lie in politics. It's another to be caught in a lie. Bill Frist has been caught in a lie. His political future is over. The immediate question is, can he survive as Majority Leader?...According to an Associated Press report Saturday, Frist “received regular updates of transfers of assets to his blind trusts and sales of assets. He also was able to initiate a stock sale of a hospital chain founded by his family with perfect timing.

Mired in controversy, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Lester Crawford became the second Bush-appointee to a major federal agency to resign in less than three weeks.

The devastation caused by hurricane Katrina has led millions of Americans to open our hearts to the helpless victims of the Gulf Coast communities. Donations by the millions have poured in. Volunteers by the thousands have rushed to disaster sites to help with rescue work and reconstruction. And the unions and union members of our country have been among those who have given generously.

As the people of the Gulf Coast begin the long road to recovery after the worst natural disaster in American history, President Bush is choosing to use this tragedy to push his conservative political agenda on the region.

From "faith-based" discrimination to arch-conservative Chief Justice nominee Roberts and a National ID card concept, Constitutional protections are being sacrificed to an ultra right agenda. Learn more and find ways to fight back.

A very good friend of mine voted for Bush last November. It shocked me then and it continues to bother me now. She was a student, just like me, working multiple jobs to cover the ever-rising costs of tuition, rent, and food. Couldn’t she see how the Bush Administration’s cuts to funding for higher education and the illegal Iraq war, diverting funds from books to bombs, have endangered the lives of young people everywhere?

College student indebtedness grows as students find covering rising costs impossible. Fight Bush's decision to force down wages for Gulf Coast workers in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Express support for Korean hotel workers. Despite right-wing lies, the gender wage gap persists and costs women and their families hundreds of thousands of dollars.
