9/11 legacy: A quarter-century of endless war. How many have lives have been lost and dollars wasted in America’s post-September 11 wars?

Twenty-five years ago, 2,977 people were killed when hijacked planes struck the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania. Five years ago, People’s World asked how to measure the two decades of war launched in response.

Big firms spent at least $1.7B on union-busting last year. Even that figure is an underestimate, say researchers at many institutions

WASHINGTON—The nation’s corporations spent $1.7 billion on union-busters last year—and that figure actually is an understatement. A new report from LaborLab, which in turn mined the data it received from the Economic Policy Institute and from forms the Labor Department requires such “persuad...

Trump and Xi: Two Views on international relations. One wants aggression and punishment, while the other advocates respect and mutual benefit.

It should come as no surprise to the knowledgeable observer that the current state of international affairs is, to put it mildly, a mess. In recent weeks, we have seen how the leadership of the United States government, bogged down in a war that it cannot win, is spewing threats and insults against....

Beyond Iran: America’s long record of Middle East blunders. The failure lies in Washington’s attempt to impose an outdated model of regional domination on a Middle East—and a world—that has fundamentally changed.

The U.S. government continues to double down, even as its stubbornness costs it dearly—not only in material terms, but also in geopolitical influence.

Nurses tell Prime Healthcare to end sub-prime care. Save a life, and you’re a hero, save a hundred—you’re “just” a nurse

CHICAGO—Save one life, and you're a hero. Save a hundred, and you're “just” a nurse. That sentiment was on full display Thursday, Sept. 3, when nurses at three Prime Healthcare hospitals—Saint Mary of Nazareth Hospital in Chicago, Olympia Fields Hospital in Olympia Fields, Ill.

‘A Case for the Existence of God’ theater review: Well-crafted but ill-named play. This is an excellent character study of two different yet similar men that is about friendship and family and loneliness.

Before this atheistic aesthete indulges, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, in a rant about this play’s egregiously pompous hifalutin name, I feel compelled to confess that: 1.

Incumbents prevailed in Massachusetts primaries, but divisions simmer. Challengers failed to meet the moment, pushing attention to now focus on referendum questions.

At first glance, Massachusetts primaries seemed to favor incumbents, but a closer look shows deep-set divisions in the voter base and campaign strategies from challengers that failed to meet the historic moment. Incumbent Democratic U.S. Sen. Ed Markey easily dispatched outgoing House Rep.

The resistible rise of a fascist party in Germany. The policies of the ruling parties, the CDU and the SPD alike, served to propel alienation, angst, and anger among the masses—especially in the east.

Upon learning of the landslide electoral triumph of a fascist political party in a province that was once part of socialist Germany, these foreboding words immediately came to mind: “The womb is fertile still from which that crawled.

After 37 years, federal oversight of Teamsters ends. Election to top offices, including one-member, one vote, remain in place

NEW YORK—After 37 years, six U.S. presidents and four union presidents, U.S. government oversight over the Teamsters has come to an end. But the changes in the union’s structure, including making elections to top offices one-Teamster-one-vote, will remain, according to a final order the union...
