Let's bomb Iran to make sure the ceasefire holds
Description
Don’t miss our weekly recap of the craziest moments in corporate media:
Watch this week’s Monday Mourning here:
After finally doing one thing to back up his campaign promise of being an anti-war president, has President Trump folded to pressure from Israel and its corporate media stooges to go back on his peace deal with Iran?
Because now the message seems to be that we’ll bomb their civilians and terrorize their economy so that the ceasefire holds. Which doesn’t quite make sense at all, if you think about it…
From warmongering politicians to even more warmongering corporate media hosts, Katie and Aaron watch as Israel’s highest paid activists force war back onto the table.
But this Monday Mourning does have one corporate antidote: the freakout over the Mamdani Sweep. In the NYC elections last week, Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s endorsed progressive candidates overtook establishment Dems, signaling a sea change for the left movement. It’s fun to watch the meltdown.
