TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARThe Caucus:
And while some have suggested that Raul Castro might take a more reformist approach, Mr. McCain made it pretty clear this morning in Indianapolis that he disagreed, according to a Reuters report. But first Mr. McCain expressed what appeared to a be a wish for Mr. Castro’s death:
“I hope he has the opportunity to meet Karl Marx very soon,” McCain told a town hall-style meeting of about 150 people, referring to the communist who died on March 14, 1883.
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide. When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
