A New McCarthyism? Republicans' Escalating War on Leftist Groups

July 28, 2026 | As the Trump administration threatens to intensify its "global campaign to crush radical left terrorism," we look at a new 100-page report issued by the State Department last week accusing the Cuban government of waging a "sustained campaign of subversion against the United States." The report claims Cuba has backed a number of groups in the United States, including the National Lawyers Guild, Pastors for Peace, the National Network on Cuba and the feminist anti-war organization CodePink.

Meanwhile, the Republican-led House Ways and Means Committee subpoenaed BreakThrough News last week, demanding the independent online news outlet hand over internal communications and financial records. BreakThrough News says it's being targeted over its coverage of U.S. mass deportations, ICE abuses, Cuba and Palestine solidarity and U.S. foreign policy.

Rob Groves: Trump vs Europe: A Strategy That Backfired BIG TIME

July 18, 2026 | Liz Truss just brought CPAC to London and barely anyone showed up. It's the perfect image for where Donald Trump's entire strategy for Europe stands right now.

Seven months after his National Security Strategy laid out the plan to back "patriotic European parties" across the continent, I go through exactly how it's collapsed: Orbán's landslide defeat in Hungary, Romania rejecting a Trump-aligned candidate, Giorgia Meloni's public feud with Trump over a G7 photo, Jordan Bardella refusing to share a CPAC stage with Steve Bannon, and Germany's AfD quietly edging away too.

Democracy Now! "Disrupt, Identify, Defund, Debank, Arrest & Prosecute": Trump Admin Threatens Leftist Groups

July 17, 2026 | Secretary of State Marco Rubio and top White House adviser Stephen Miller are pushing for a global crackdown on leftist organizations. The State Department on Thursday hosted a summit "on the resurgence of political terrorism," where Miller described the left as "enemies of civilization" and described efforts to "disrupt, identify, defund, debank, arrest and prosecute these political terrorists that are operating in our country." Rubio announced the U.S. would soon designate more left-wing groups as terrorist organizations. Also on Thursday, the State Department announced new visa restrictions targeting what it calls "members of Far-Left Terrorist and other aligned groups."

"They're putting political groups in the United States and abroad on the same footing as groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS," says independent journalist Ken Klippenstein, who has been closely following the Trump administration's designation of left-wing activism as terrorism.

"This effort to designate left-wing groups as foreign terrorists using these broad terms like 'antifa' will allow them to go after people who are not committing violence but who are simply engaging in the political process," adds former FBI special agent Mike German.

MAGA's Meddling in European Politics | DW News

Jul 16, 2026 | Washington’s influence in Europe has shaped political life for nearly a century, and the Trump administration continues that legacy — though not always in familiar ways. While past US governments framed their involvement as support for democracy, that mission now appears less clear, especially since Donald Trump returned to office in January last year. Trump and his allies have openly backed right wing candidates across Europe. DW’s Ben Fajzullin speaks with Majda Ruge from the European Council on Foreign Relations about whether this new five million dollar initiative could reshape European democracy — and who stands to benefit.

I am fast having to come to the conclusion that God cannot possibly exist, for if He did, He would have taken the “Wally in the White House” home long ago in order to save the world!

Donald Trump’s Incompetent Regime Will Collapse | Steve Schmidt

Jul 15, 2026 | Donald Trump has always been a failure, from Atlantic City to the Iran war, and the crackpots and criminals he has assembled around him guarantee MAGA will not hold. Steve Schmidt breaks down the most corrupt cabinet in American history and why Trump's regime is headed for collapse.

What I am about to state should in no way be viewed as a statement of what I wish for America; rather, It is what I think will happen in America as a result of Trump’s dealings with the Middle East and the Gulf. It looks to me as if America’s future belongs to Islam! Islam could well accelerate its presence in the country simply because of Trump’s false moves. Now that is shocking, isn’t it? But Trump’s presidency has, in my humble opinion, really hastened Islam’s progress in securing Its place on that continent. Time will tell. But please mark my words. — © Mark Alexander

The US Launches a Diplomatic Campaign to Dismantle the International Criminal Court | DW News

July 15, 2026 | The United States says it wants to "dismantle" the International Criminal Court, a tribunal that investigates genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.

Washington has long resisted joining the ICC and has even sanctioned some of its judges, but the latest push marks a dramatic escalation.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio claims the court threatens US military and law enforcement operations and undermines its sovereignty. However, that's contrary to the reality of how it operates, according to Harvard Law School Professor Alex Whiting, who spoke to DW's Ben Fajzullin.

Despite earlier criticism of the court for focusing on cases from African nations, Whiting says the ICC is now playing a vital role in upholding justice in many places where human rights are being abused.
