U.S. Senator Angus King (I-ME) talks with Matt Lewis about Senator Margaret Chase Smith's historic “Declaration of Conscience,” delivered in 1950 during the height of McCarthyism. Senator King draws direct parallels between Smith's courageous stand for constitutional principles and today's challenges to American democracy, emphasizing the urgent need for patriotism over partisanship. Citing the erosion of checks and balances, King warns of the rising threat of concentrated executive power and the undermining of the rule of law. He calls on Congress to reassert its constitutional authority and urges Americans to remember that the Constitution is not just a document — it's a defense against tyranny.

Angus King, the U.S. Senator from Maine (and former quarterback), is neither a Democrat nor a Republican. So we should listen very closely as he takes PTFO inside what he deems an unprecedented constitutional crisis — from tariffs and mass deportations to trans athletes and DOGE — by way of the ancient Romans, a vegetable slicer and Bill Belichick. And he explains exactly why his colleagues in Congress must stop handing their power to Donald Trump... before it's too late. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Senator King discusses the top issues he is focusing on amid the current climate in Washington
Wir beginnen mit einer Ergänzung der Informationen zum Einfluss der Israel-Lobby aus der letzten Woche, berichten dann über die zunehmende Unzufriedenheit in den israelischen Streitkräften und über den „Fortschritt“ der ethnischen Säuberung von Gaza, über Israels Folter, wie Deutschland reagierte, was im Jemen, im Iran, in Syrien und arabischen Ländern passiert.USA und AIPACDas American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) hatte sich in den letzten Jahren zu einem der größten Geldgeber der gesamten US-Politik entwickelt und allein im vergangenen Jahr unglaubliche 389 Kongresswahlkämpfe finanziert, wie eine umfassende Analyse von The Intercept zeigte.Welchen Erfolg konnte die AIPAC verbuchen? Am 3. April hatte der US-Senat zwei Resolutionen von Bernie Sanders abgeschmettert, die einen massiven neuen Waffendeal mit Israel verhindern sollten – und vier Senatoren, die zuvor für ähnliche Resolutionen gestimmt hatten, hatten diesmal ihre Stimme für eine Israel-Finanzierung geändert. Vier Mitglieder der Democrat Party – die Senatoren Jon Ossoff, Raphael Warnock, Angus King und Jeanne Shaheen – hatten die Seiten gewechselt.Trotz der massiven Lobbyarbeit der israelischen Regierung in Politik und Medien, ergaben Umfragen unter US-Amerikanern, dass zum ersten Mal seit dem 2. Weltkrieg, die Mehrheit der Menschen nicht mehr hinter der zionistischen Politik und Israel stand. Und dies trotz der enormen Zensur und Unterdrückungsanstrengungen, welche die letzte und die neue Regierung Trump praktizierten.„Darüber hinaus hat sich die öffentliche Meinung über Israel in den letzten drei Jahren verschlechtert. Mehr als die Hälfte der erwachsenen US-Amerikaner (53 %) äußert mittlerweile eine negative Meinung über Israel. Im März 2022 – vor dem Hamas-Angriff vom 7. Oktober 2023 und der darauffolgenden israelischen Invasion im Gazastreifen – waren es noch 42 %. (…)Laut der neuen Umfrage ist auch das Vertrauen der Amerikaner in den israelischen Premierminister Benjamin Netanjahu nach wie vor relativ gering (32 %). Die Umfrage wurde vom 24. bis 30. März – kurz vor Netanjahus jüngstem Besuch – unter einer landesweit repräsentativen Stichprobe von 3.605 erwachsenen US-Amerikanern durchgeführt.“(1) (2)Besonders wichtig, und angeblich ein Grund, warum TicToc verboten werden sollte, war die Tatsache, wie stark sich die Meinung unter den jungen Menschen zwischen 18 und 49 verändert hatte. Und das waren die Politikmacher und Wähler der Zukunft. Man konnte gespannt sein zu beobachten, ob AIPAC in der Lage war, weiter Kongress und Senat zu beherrschen, wenn es um Fragen zu Israel ging, wenn diese Generation in die Entscheiderpositionen vordringen...hier weiterlesen: https://apolut.net/idf-rebellion-oder-iran-bombardieren-von-jochen-mitschka/ Hosted on Acast.

Shockwaves through Washington as Kash Patel is officially confirmed as head of the FBI. This, as Pam Bondi promises to reveal “the list” everyone has been waiting for… Meanwhile, Diddy’s lawyer is fleeing the disgraced rap star’s team. It all comes as states continue to reel from President Trump’s directives — The Governor of Maine told the President she’d see him in court during a fiery meeting caught on tape at the White House today… and, some members of Congress suggest their alligence is no longer to the United States! (Now you tell us?) Meanwhile, more trouble at The View. As Trish Regan has reported, talent like Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar are being advised to “tone it down” and, the advice is reportedly not being received so well… A new report confirms what Trish has explained. Disney is not happy and The View may jeapardize the entire company. How much trouble is Disney really in? Well, ABC News, the producer of The View, was called out again today (Trish has the clip) by none other than the President, just as Snow White releases its trailer to an abysmal showing on YouTube. On top of that? Captain America is not bringing in the money that had been expected. All this and more! Join Trish for a LIVE edition of The Trish Regan Show today.

Happy Monday! Sam speaks with John Nichols, national affairs correspondent for The Nation, to discuss his recent interview with Sen. Bernie Sanders, and the paths forward he sees for the Left after the 2024 election. First, Emma runs through updates on the acquittal of Daniel Penny, the potential detaining of the United Healthcare CEO killer, the fall of Assad in Syria and the imperialist responses from Israel and the US, South Korean President Yoom, Trump's pledge to pardon insurrectionists, and Trump's developing cabinet, before parsing through Trump's inhumane and unconstitutional plan to end birthright citizenship, and Democrats' failure to prevent this threat. Then, John Nichols joins Sam as he dives right into his recent interview with Bernie Sanders, unpacking Bernie's major takeaways from Democrats' failure in the 2024 elections, from the need for a new way to communicate with a multi-racial, multi-ethnic working class to the imperative for Democrats to stand aside and let independent, working-class progressive candidates run without the burden of the party establishment weighing them down. After briefly expanding on the challenge of convincing the Democratic Party Brand to stop pushing the Democratic Party Brand, Nichols steps back to walk through the history of this tactic's success on the left, playing a particularly prevalent role in bolstering FDR's progressive coalition and the major progress they achieved. Next, John and Sam look to Bernie's 2016 anti-oligarchy candidacy, exploring how Democrats' failure to address that growing political inequality provided a path (twice) for Trump and the GOP (twice) to successfully stand as the party of money power and as anti-establishment, bolstered by the GOP's messaging dominance (see: Elon Musk's Twitter purchase), before looking deeper into the contemporary examples for Bernie's model – namely himself and Angus King, two independents that, while outside of the party infrastructure, caucus (and vote) with Democrats. Wrapping up, Nichols and Sam look at the ongoing race for DNC chair, and the promising future of a Blue-Wall-led party – touching particularly on the success of DNC chair candidate Ben Wikler. And in the Fun Half: Emma unpacks the potential capture of the United Healthcare CEO killer in Altoona, PA, and the wide-ranging coverage of the event, from the incensed and out-of-touch Ben Shapiro to the ever big-brained Bill Burr, with additional commentary from Joe from Illinois. Zack from Missouri unpacks the MAGA defense of Trump's character, Brie from New York on their view of the View, and Jim Clyburn and Chip Roy come to the defense of Trump and his administration, respectively, plus, your calls and IMs!

Ralph welcomes Marc Rotenberg, founder and president of the Center for AI and Digital Policy to fill us in on the latest international treaty aimed at putting guardrails on the potential Frankenstein monster that is Artificial Intelligence. Plus, as we get to the end of the Medicare enrollment period, we put out one last warning for listeners to avoid the scam that is Medicare Advantage.Marc Rotenberg is the founder and president of the Center for AI and Digital Policy, a global organization focused on emerging challenges associated with Artificial Intelligence. He serves as an expert advisor on AI policy to many organizations including the Council of Europe, the Council on Foreign Relations, the European Parliament, the Global Partnership on AI, the OECD, and UNESCO. What troubles me is the gap between an increasingly obscure, technical, and complex technology—abbreviated into “AI” —and public understanding. You know, when motor vehicles came and we tried to regulate them and did, people understood motor vehicles in their daily lives. When solar energy started coming on, they saw solar roof panels. They could see it, they could understand it, they could actually work putting solar panels on roofs of buildings. This area is just producing a massively expanding gap between the experts from various disciplines, and the power structure of corporatism, and their government servants and the rest of the people in the world.Ralph NaderThe difference between these two types of [AI] systems is that with the old ones we could inspect them and interrogate them. If one of the factors being used for an outcome was, for example, race or nationality, we could say, well, that's impermissible and you can't use an automated system in that way. The problem today with the probabilistic systems that US companies have become increasingly reliant on is that it's very difficult to actually tell whether those factors are contributing to an outcome. And so for that reason, there are a lot of computer scientists rightly concerned about the problem of algorithmic bias.Marc Rotenberg[The sponsors of California SB 1047] wanted companies that were building these big complicated systems to undertake a safety plan, identify the harms, and make those plans available to the Attorney General…In fact, I work with many governments around the world on AI regulation and this concept of having an impact assessment is fairly obvious. You don't want to build these large complex systems without some assessment of what the risk might be.Marc RotenbergWe've always understood that when you create devices that have consequences, there has to be some circuit breaker. The companies didn't like that either. [They said] it's too difficult to predict what those scenarios might be, but that was almost precisely the point of the legislation, you see, because if those scenarios exist and you haven't identified them yet, you choose to deploy these large foundational models without any safety mechanism in place, and all of us are at risk. So I thought it was an important bill and not only am I disappointed that the governor vetoed it, but as I said, I think he made a mistake. This is not simply about politics. This is actually about science, and it's about the direction these systems are heading.Marc RotenbergThat's where we are in this moment—opaque systems that the experts don't understand, increasingly being deployed by organizations that also don't understand these systems, and an industry that says, “don't regulate us.” This is not going to end well.Marc RotenbergIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DesantisNews 11/27/241. Last week, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. According to a statement from ICC prosecutor Karim Khan, the international legal body found reasonable grounds to believe that each has committed war crimes and crimes against humanity, including the use of starvation as a method of warfare and intentionally directing attacks against civilians. This news has been met with varied reactions throughout the world. These have been meticulously documented by Just Security. The United States, which is under no obligation to honor the warrant as it is not a party to the Rome Statute, has said it “fundamentally rejects” the judgment and has called the issuing of warrants “outrageous.” Canada, which is party to the Rome Statue has vowed to uphold their treaty obligations despite their close ties to Israel. Germany however, another signatory to the Rome Statute, has suggested that they would not honor the warrants. In a statement, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib said the warrants are “long overdue” and signal that “the days of the Israeli apartheid government operating with impunity are ending.” One can only hope that is true.2. On November 21st, 19 Senators voted for at least one of the three Joint Resolutions of Disapproval regarding additional arms transfers to Israel. As Jewish Voice for Peace Action puts it, “this is an unprecedented show of Senate opposition to President Biden's disastrous foreign policy of unconditional support for the Israeli military.” The 19 Senators include Independents Bernie Sanders and Angus King, progressive Democrats like Elizabeth Warren, Chris Van Hollen and Raphael Warnock, and Democratic caucus leaders like Dick Durbin, among many others. Perhaps the most notable supporter however is Senator Jon Ossoff of Georgia, whom Ryan Grim notes is the only Democrat representing a state Trump won and who is up for reelection in 2026 to vote for the resolution. Ossoff cited President Reagan's decision to withhold cluster munitions during the IDF occupation of Beirut in a floor speech explaining his vote. The Middle East Eye reports that the Biden Administration deployed Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer to whip votes against the JRD.3. Last week, we covered H.R. 9495, aka the “nonprofit killer” bill targeting pro-Palestine NGOs. Since then, the bill has passed the House. Per the Guardian, the bill passed 219-184, with fifteen Democrats crossing the aisle to grant incoming-President Trump the unilateral power to obliterate any non-profit organization he dislikes, a list sure to be extensive. Congressman Jamie Raskin is quoted saying “A sixth-grader would know this is unconstitutional…They want us to vote to give the president Orwellian powers and the not-for-profit sector Kafkaesque nightmares.” The bill now moves to the Senate, where it is unlikely to pass while Democrats cling to control. Come January however, Republicans will hold a decisive majority in the upper chamber.4. President-elect Donald Trump has announced his selection of Congresswoman Lori Chavez-DeRemer as his pick for Secretary of Labor. Chavez-DeRemer is perhaps the most pro-labor Republican in Congress, with the AFL-CIO noting that she is one of only three Republicans to cosponsor the PRO Act and one of eight to cosponsor the Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act. Chavez-DeRemer was reportedly the favored choice of Teamsters President Sean O'Brien, who controversially became the first ever Teamster to address the RNC earlier this year. While her selection has been greeted with cautious optimism by many labor allies, anti-labor conservatives are melting down at the prospect. Akash Chougule of Americans for Prosperity accused Trump of giving “A giant middle finger to red states,” by “picking a teachers union hack” and urged Senate Republicans to reject the nomination.5. Unfortunately, most of Trump's selections are much, much worse. Perhaps worst of all, Trump has chosen Mehmet Cengiz Öz – better known as Dr. Oz – to lead the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Beyond his lack of qualifications and history of promoting crackpot medical theories, Oz is a longtime proponent of pushing more seniors into privatized Medicare Advantage, or “Disadvantage,” plans, per Yahoo! Finance. This report notes that the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 called for making Medicare Advantage the default health program for seniors.6. According to CNN, Brazilian police have arrested five people who conspired to assassinate leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, better known as Lula, in 2022. This assassination plot was allegedly cooked up even before Lula took office, and included plans to kill Lula's Vice President Geraldo Alckmin and Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. The conspirators included a former high-ranking Bolsonaro advisor and military special forces personnel. Reuters reports investigators have discovered evidence that Bolsonaro himself was involved in the scheme.7. In more news from Latin America, Drop Site reports that the United States and Colombia engaged in a secretive agreement to allow the country's previous U.S.-backed conservative President Ivan Duque to utilize the Israeli Pegasus spyware for internal surveillance in the country. Details of the transaction and of the utilization of the spyware remain “murky,” but American and Colombian officials maintain it was used to target drug-trafficking groups and not domestic political opponents. Just two months ago, Colombia's leftist President Gustavo Petro delivered a televised speech revealing details of this shadowy arrangement, including that the Duque government flew $11 million cash from Bogotá to Tel Aviv. As Drop Site notes, “In Colombia, there's a long legacy of state intelligence agencies surveilling political opposition leaders. With the news that the U.S. secretly helped acquire and deploy powerful espionage software in their country, the government is furious at the gross violation of their sovereignty. They fear that Colombia's history of politically motivated surveillance, backed by the U.S. government, lives on to this day.”8. Following the Democrats' electoral wipeout, the race for new DNC leadership is on. Media attention has mostly been focused on the race to succeed Jamie Harrison as DNC Chair, but POLITICO is out with a story on James Zogby's bid for the DNC vice chair seat. Zogby, a longtime DNC member, Bernie Sanders ally and president of the Arab American Institute has criticized the party's position on Israel and particularly of the Kamala Harris campaign's refusal to allow a Palestinian-American speaker at this year's convention. He called the move “unimaginative, overly cautious and completely out of touch with where voters are.” This report notes Zogby's involvement in the 2016 DNC Unity Reform Commission, and his successful push to strip substantial power away from the so-called superdelegates.9. Speaking of Democratic Party rot, the Lever reports that in its final days the Biden Administration is handing corporations a “get out of jail free card.” A new Justice Department policy dictates that the government will essentially look the other way at corporate misconduct, even if the company has “committed multiple crimes, earned significant profit from their wrongdoing, and failed to self-disclose the misconduct — as long as the companies demonstrate they ‘acted in good faith' to try to come clean.” This is the logical endpoint of the longstanding Biden era soft-touch approach intended to encourage corporations to self-police, an idea that is patently absurd on its face. Public Citizen's Corporate Crime expert Rick Claypool described the policy as “bending over backward to protect corporations.”10. Finally, on November 23rd lawyer and former progressive congressional candidate Brent Welder posted a fundraising email from Bernie Sanders that immediately attracted substantial interest for its strong language. In this note, Sanders writes “The Democrats ran a campaign protecting the status quo and tinkering around the edges…Will the Democratic leadership learn the lessons of their defeat and create a party that stands with the working class[?]…unlikely.” The email ends with a list of tough questions, including “should we be supporting Independent candidates who are prepared to take on both parties?” Many on the Left read this as Bernie opening the door to a “dirty break” with the Democratic Party, perhaps even an attempt to form some kind of independent alliance or third party. In a follow-up interview with John Nichols in the Nation, Sanders clarified that he is not calling for the creation of a new party, but “Where it is more advantageous to run as an independent, outside of the Democratic [Party]…we should do that.” Whether anything will come of this remains to be seen, but if nothing else the severity of his rhetoric reflects the intensity of dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party in light of their second humiliating defeat at the hands of a clownish, fascistic game show host. Perhaps a populist left third party is a far-fetched, unachievable goal. On the other hand, how many times can we go back to the Democratic Party expecting different results. Something has got to give, or else the few remaining pillars of our democracy will wither and die under sustained assault by the Right and their corporate overlords.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

S.O.S. (Stories of Service) - Ordinary people who do extraordinary work
Send us a textThere is nobody better out there who has the fortitude to push through change like Chris McGhee, Esq., LL.M. His own experiences as an aircraft maintainer seeing an acute mental health crisis has pushed the United States Department of Defense to study suicide rates by job code, to which they did a “nice try” with an overdue study which contained partial information, but where clearly much more work must be done.Tomorrow evening, Chris and I will chat live about where this important work stands and what needs to be done next. Chris McGhee is an Air Force veteran, founder of Falcon Forward Law Group, and host of the "20 Years Done" podcast, where he raises awareness of organizational and cultural issues in the military. Chris played a pivotal role in crafting legislation mandating military suicide data after repeated FOIA denials by the DoD. He also led a Department of the Air Force working group tasked with developing a post-vention model to identify organizational factors influencing suicidality. His advocacy recently led to Senator Angus King pressing the Secretary of Defense for accountability.Falcon Forward Law Group - https://www.fafo-law.com/More on Chris's fight - https://www.pressherald.com/2024/09/15/a-maine-man-helped-get-the-defense-department-to-release-detailed-suicide-data-hes-not-satisfied/Visit my website: https://thehello.llc/THERESACARPENTERRead my writings on my blog: https://www.theresatapestries.com/Listen to other episodes on my podcast: https://storiesofservice.buzzsprout.comWatch episodes of my podcast:https://www.youtube.com/c/TheresaCarpenter76

As cyber threats from malign actors against America's critical infrastructure evolve, so must our defenses. Four years ago, the congressionally mandated Cyberspace Solarium Commission (CSC) offered a new strategic approach to combat these threats and defend U.S. national security and economic interests in cyberspace.Since then, the Commission's report and white papers have driven significant advancements in U.S. cybersecurity policy, prompting Congress and the White House to develop innovative solutions to address these challenges. These efforts have improved federal government coordination, advanced U.S. cyber interests globally, deepened public-private partnerships, bolstered national resilience, and preserved military instruments of national power. However, key questions remain for Congress and the White House. Is the private sector adequately prepared to defend against sophisticated cyberattacks? What impact do funding shortfalls have on implementing the National Cyber Strategy? What lessons should guide the incoming administration and Congress in strengthening U.S. cybersecurity posture?To explore these questions, FDD and CSC 2.0 host a discussion featuring Commission Co-Chair Sen. Angus King (I-ME); Tom Fanning, Former Executive Chairman of Southern Company; and former Executive Director RADM (Ret.) Mark Montgomery, who leads CSC 2.0 and serves as senior director of FDD's Center on Cyber and Technology Innovation (CCTI). Sam Sabin, Cybersecurity Reporter at Axios will moderate the conversation. This event coincides with the release of the fourth annual assessment report, which evaluates the progress made and the challenges ahead in implementing the Commission's recommendations.
