You're going to. From New York, this is Democracy Now.

The reason why I resigned is really because I could no longer be a part of the State Department

and promote this policy.

It's an inhumane policy.

It's a failed policy that is helping neither Palestinians neither Israelis.

As Israel's devastating siege on Northern Gaza intensifies,

we'll speak with Halarit, the first and only U.S. career diplomat to resign from the State

Department over U.S. policy on Israel.

We'll talk about Gaza, Israel's bombing of Lebanon and U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinkin's visit

to the region.

He's now in Saudi Arabia after leaving Israel.

Then to Puerto Rico, where a pro Party is hoping to make history in next month's election.

We'll speak to Anirma Rivera-Lassen, who's running to be Puerto Rico's sole member of Congress, albeit a non-voting member.

Our position is to give the people of Puerto Rico a different option that moves us beyond the disaster.

It's more important than the selfishness of thinking only about the parties.

We united from that point of view to give Puerto Rico an alternative that provides answers to the people of Puerto Rico in the face of this scary corruption that exists.

And as New York Mayor Eric Adams resists calls to resign after being indicted on federal corruption charges,

we'll speak to New York State lawmaker Zoran Mamdani.

He's just announced he'll run for mayor next year as a Democratic socialist.

All that and more coming up.

Welcome to Democracy Now, Democracy Now.
