Top U.S. & World Headlines — December 18, 2025

Can someone show me the list of 16 smart congressmen who voted against the military spending we need to make sure we fund them and protect them cause we have to get out of the military complex, Eisenhower was right we need to learn and listen to the mistakes from our past! No more war!

Just wanted to say may you always be there, Amy Goodman. Despite the disheartening news, your presence in itself makes me smile. Salaam and happy Hannukah.

Isn't it fun when the uniparty gets together to spend our money....

Love Amy Goodman reporting. Thank you Democracy Now.

Thank you for your hard work, Democracy Now!

This one was just especially hard to digest today. We live in a DYSTOPIA

Why isn't any news station covering the 30 plus percentage increase on Tier Three drug copays? The Big Beautiful Bill has this insurance company increase built in . The patient is now responsible for 30 percent of the copay. Our premiums did not go down they went up. Eliquist copay is now $416 plus for 3 months. There is no generic drug for Eliquist and this applies to most of all of the other Tier 3 drugs. Another health care disgrace that we will be told is for our own good.

Americans must demand that our Representatives stop the wasteful defense spending and the Murderous Regime! Americans are not going to support politicians that do not care about the people’s will.

If China did anything like this in the South China Sea there would be a full scale global sanctions package, they would be made a pariah state and US congress would be pushing for an all out war but it's totally fine when the US does it somehow. Our congressional leaders don't even offer an opinion on the strikes they just timidly say they need to vote to approve this criminal murder

Thank you for reporting real information. Wish the entire nation listened to your podcast!
