‘Squad’ Dem launches comeback House bid after anti-Israel views torpedoed campaign: ‘We need a fighter’

Former Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., announced on Friday that she is mounting a comeback congressional bid more than a year after losing her Democratic primary to a more moderate challenger.
«St. Louis deserves a leader who is built different,» Bush announced in a video shared on social media. «That’s why I’m running to represent Missouri’s 1st District in Congress. We need a fighter who will lower costs, protect our communities, and make life fairer. I’ll be that fighter.»
The «Squad» member was ousted in the Democratic primary in Aug. 2024 by St. Louis County prosecutor Rep. Wesley Bell, D-Mo., who is a more moderate candidate and had the backing of pro-Israel groups that spent millions to unseat Bush.
«I ran for Congress to change things for regular people,» Bush said in the campaign launch video. «I’m running again because St. Louis deserves leadership that doesn’t wait for permission, doesn’t answer to wealthy donors and doesn’t hide when things get tough.»

Bush was first elected to Congress in Nov. 2020, quickly joining the ranks of the progressive «Squad,» including Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, who were elected in 2018.

The Missouri progressive was re-elected in 2022, but she became the second member of the «Squad» to lose her Democratic primary last year after Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., also lost to a more moderate pro-Israel Democrat.
Like Bowman, Bush had emerged in Congress as a vocal critic of the United States’ ties to Israel, calling Israel’s response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attack a «war crime» for «Israel’s collective punishment against Palestinians.»

«All across America, we see it,» Bush said. «Our rights rolled back, our history being rewritten, our lives on the line. The stakes for our community here have never been higher. I’m running because our district deserves someone ten toes down. For our families, for our wallets, for our safety, for our democracy, and for our bright future. St. Louis is built different, so am I, and so are we.»
Soon after President Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election, Bush teased a congressional run to POLITICO.
«The Squad will keep fighting,» she told the outlet. «The numbers will be lower for the 119th Congress, but they will keep fighting for people who have the greatest need. They’re not going to change their priorities and what they believe. The number of people in Congress on the team will just be smaller. But they’ve never been silent. Anyone who underestimates our power is severely mistaken, because we aren’t going anywhere, and I will always be Squad. I’m not going far.»

While the country shifted to the right in 2024, with Republicans securing control of the White House and Congress, the upcoming midterm elections will prove a litmus test for Trump’s sweeping second-term agenda.
And Bush’s announcement comes as Republicans secured victories in their redistricting battles, picking up five additional Republican-leaning districts in Texas and one additional conservative-leaning congressional seat in Missouri.

Anti-Hamas Gaza militias reject terror group, declare support for Trump’s peace plan

Anti-Hamas militias in Gaza endorse Trump peace plan

JERUSALEM — As negotiations continue in Egypt on the U.S. roadmap for peace, Fox News Digital obtained video from the U.S.-based Center for Peace Communications (CPC), revealing that anti-Hamas militias have endorsed President Donald Trump’s peace plan to end the war in Gaza and secure the release of Israeli hostages.
This comes amid reports of heavy fighting last week between an anti-Hamas clan and terrorists from the jihadi Hamas movement in a neighborhood in Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip that could mark a sea change in local governance in the war-ravaged area.

The full-throttle support from the anti-Hamas militias for Trump’s plan could potentially mean more trouble for the terrorist movement that has ruled Gaza with an iron fist for the last 17 years.
Three of the anti-Hamas militias publicly endorsed Trump’s peace plan for Gaza, according to the CPC video. Yasser Abu Shabab, the head of the Popular Forces militia in Rafah, said, «We see in President Trump’s plan a path to halt the bloodshed and bring peace to the Middle East.»

Ashraf Al-Mansi, leader of the Popular Northern Forces, said, «We, in the People’s Army, Northern Forces in the Gaza Strip, extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to U.S. President Donald Trump.»
Rami Hillis, the leader of the Popular Defense Forces, said his organization and the honorable clans in the Gaza Strip «will exert our utmost efforts and our capabilities to ensure the success of this proposal.» Two years ago, on Oct. 7, the Hamas terrorist movement invaded Israel and slaughtered roughly 1,200 people, including more than 40 American citizens.

«This marks the first time that anti-Hamas militias have proven on the ground their ability to challenge Hamas in open combat and to expel them from their areas. We have seen minor clashes before, but this seems to mark a major escalation,» said Michael Nahum from CPC.
The CPC, along with an American news organization, the Free Press, posted footage on X about the deadly clashes on Friday that reportedly resulted in the killing of 20 Hamas terrorists, including a commander.

According to the CPC, the infamous Hamas «Sahm Unit,» which is «known for brutally suppressing Gazan dissident voices, went to Khan Younis» with the goal of arresting local Palestinians and «transferring them to a hospital for interrogation and possible execution.»
On the same day as the clashes, Israel Defense Forces disclosed that Hamas had built sophisticated terrorist tunnels on the compounds of two hospitals — the Jordanian Field Hospital and Hamad Hospital — in the Gaza Strip. The tunnel adjacent to the Jordanian hospital contained a workshop for the production of missiles. The use of hospitals and medical facilities as weapons areas by Hamas is considered a war crime under the Geneva Convention.

Hamas claims it entered Khan Younis to detain Palestinians who are collaborating with Israel. The al-Mujaida clan in southern Gaza resisted the Hamas assault of roughly 50 Hamas terrorists aboard five pickup trucks armed to the teeth, including with a rocket-propelled grenade launcher. Hamas reportedly murdered five members of the large al-Mujaida family.

The anti-Hamas militias have reportedly received support from Israel. Nahum said they are growing, and there are now four and probably as many as 10 militias across the Gaza Strip. «For the first time in a generation, we really might be looking at the end of Hamas rule in Gaza,» said Nahum.
There are an estimated 20,000 Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip, according to some assessments.

“Una voz que incomode de verdad”: quién debería ganar el Nobel de Literatura según la Inteligencia Artificial

En Estocolmo todavía no amanece y ya se respira la conspiración. Cada octubre, un puñado de académicos suecos decide —en silencio y detrás de puertas acolchadas— quién representará la conciencia literaria del mundo. Afuera, el planeta especula. En los cafés de París, en los portales de Seúl, en los grupos de WhatsApp de traductores latinoamericanos, se cruzan las mismas apuestas: ¿será por fin Murakami?, ¿se atreverán con Krasznahorkai?, ¿darán el salto hacia África o América Latina?
El Nobel de Literatura no elige solo un escritor: elige un relato del mundo. Y ese relato, cada año, dice algo sobre el clima político, sobre la sensibilidad estética del tiempo y sobre quiénes —todavía— tienen derecho a decir la verdad.
Este año consultamos con ChatGPT -esa IA que viene escribiendo tanto- sobre las posibilidades de triunfo de los distintos candidatos. Le pedimos que analizara los premiados anteriores y el contexto político y literario actual. A continuación, su respuesta
El premio mayor y por qué
En 2023 fue Jon Fosse, con su lenguaje mínimo y espiritual, quien representó la búsqueda de lo esencial. En 2024, Han Kang llevó el premio a Corea del Sur con una literatura que mira de frente el trauma y el cuerpo. La Academia parece moverse entre lo introspectivo y lo histórico, entre el susurro poético y la denuncia.
Ahora, en 2025, la pregunta vuelve a encenderse: ¿será el año de una voz que incomode de verdad?
Porque el nombre que resuena con más fuerza —y que podría darle al premio su giro más arriesgado en años— es el de Can Xue (残雪), la escritora china que ha hecho del delirio, la opacidad y la belleza fragmentada una forma de rebelión.
La concesión del Nobel de Literatura combina méritos estéticos y resonancia ética. En el contexto actual, la obra de Can Xue ofrece tres aportes decisivos: 1) un desafío a la lógica del realismo narrativo, 2) una exploración del trauma sin moralismos ni melodrama, y 3) una apertura del canon literario más allá de los centros tradicionales. Su nombre figura entre los favoritos de las principales casas de apuestas y en las quinielas críticas de medios europeos y asiáticos.

Frente a nombres previsibles como László Krasznahorkai o Haruki Murakami, Can Xue encarna algo distinto: la posibilidad de que el Nobel premie no solo lo universal, sino lo indómito. Su literatura, hecha de símbolos, sueños y desplazamientos, emerge de un contexto donde la censura y el control cultural son parte del aire cotidiano. Premiarla no sería un gesto diplomático, sino un acto de afirmación estética: reconocer que la disidencia también puede escribirse desde lo irracional y lo poético.
El Nobel, conviene recordarlo, es siempre un espejo político. Después de su crisis institucional de 2018, la Academia ha intentado redibujar su autoridad, diversificando lenguas y geografías. Un premio a Can Xue colocaría en el centro a una autora que no milita, no se exilia, no traduce su experiencia a la gramática occidental del sufrimiento, sino que inventa su propio lenguaje para habitar la incomodidad.
Su escritura desarma al lector. No explica: sugiere. No cuenta: evoca. En un tiempo saturado de narrativas previsibles y de autoficciones terapéuticas, Can Xue representa otra forma de riesgo: el de la oscuridad. La de no ofrecer sentido inmediato, sino forzarlo a nacer.

Por eso su eventual Nobel no sería un premio más. Sería una toma de posición. Frente al confort del mercado y la previsibilidad del gusto, la elección de Can Xue recordaría que la literatura no está para calmar, sino para inquietar.
La Academia anunciará su decisión este jueves 9 de octubre de 2025, según informó NobelPrize.org. Hasta entonces, el rumor seguirá ardiendo: entre quienes esperan justicia geográfica y quienes desean un salto estético real.
Si el Nobel busca una voz que refleje el desorden del siglo XXI —una literatura que no consuele, sino que desestabilice—, Can Xue es la respuesta. Porque hay veces en que el mundo no necesita claridad. Necesita una grieta.
