So I wanted to do kind of a deep dive specifically on Amazon and check in on how workers are doing at the Everything Store.

So starting off, checking in with writer Alex Press, who has another excellent deep dive on worker organizing at Amazon that was published a few weeks ago in In These Times, covering the organizing efforts by workers at the DJT6 delivery station in Riverside, California.

After a former coworker came onto the property and flashed a gun threatening to murder a woman coworker who he blamed for his firing, bosses initially just did nothing.

Workers came up to them, they're like, hey, are you going to do anything and make it so somebody can't just come and wave a gun at us? And the bosses just re-read the Amazon security policy to them and told people to keep working.

Ukraine called that a gift to Moscow.

So what are they making of all this? In Washington, D.C., my NewsHour colleague James Coomarasamy has just been speaking to the Democratic Party Senator Chris Coons, who sits on the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

James, I think it's urgent that the United States restore intelligence sharing and public support to Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the brave fighters of Ukraine.

A dozen of us Republicans and Democrats in the US Senate have sent an urgent letter to President Trump calling on him to respect the law, uh, to follow both the law that he recently signed, uh, that my late friend Lindsey Graham worked closely with Dick Blumenthal to get past the Congress, and the law that was passed unanimously in twenty twenty-two blocking Russian oil and gas exports into the United States.

Yeah.

At the same time, when we find the shipwreck first, we thought that this is something like one or two hundred years old because they have flat base.

And then when we see a publication related to Egyptian archaeology, some of our colleagues have found similar amphoras with flat base around of Giza Pyramids and dated as beginning of early Bronze Age and localized as, uh, the Levantine coastline.

So this is actually really surprised us because when we go back again to the shipwreck, we saw that, yes, our amphoras also, uh, the similar amphoras which found in Egypt.
