BILL BURR: “If someone’s working 160 hours a month and can’t make their rent, you’re not paying them enough. Maybe you should just be worth $900,000,000… How does a CEO take a f*cking 8 figure bonus and none of your employees have dental insurance?”

When your conflicts become the story instead of the anti-corruption work you’re supposed to be leading, you know there’s a problem.
That Commissioner Brereton claims he’s seeking a public hearing to “put questions to rest” only erodes trust further.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

Settler violence in the West Bank left Hikmat Shteiwi with 36 fractures and a rebuilt skull – yet still no protection for Palestinians. As Matan Golan reports, families now fear tending their own land.
