The final Deep Space Nine Section 31 focused episode, "Extreme Measures", takes us inside the mind of Luther Sloan as Bashir and O'Brien attempt to find the cure to Odo's disease as mentioned in the previous episodes of DS9 "Tacking into the Wind" and "When it Rains". This episode, which appears only a few episodes from the conclusion of the series brings an end to this portion of the Section 31 story line. As Luther Sloan is dying, Bashir and O'Brien have a choice....save Odo or discover the information necessary to bring down the entire Section 31 organization. Find out our thoughts as we continue our Spotlight Series!

Hosts: Andy, Joe Dubs, Zac , and ChazWe enter the final frontier with April Star Trek. Chaz is next and he chose TNG: The Enemy , DS9: Dr. Bashir, I Presume, Voyager: Latent Image. Enjoy

We continue our Section 31 Spotlight Series with episode 2, looking at Deep Space Nine's Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges. Inter arma enim silent leges is a Latin phrase that literally means "For among arms, the laws are silent" but is more popularly rendered as "In times of war, the law falls silent." While attending a conference on Romulus, which is never a good idea it would seem for Dr. Bashir, Bashir becomes embroiled in an elaborate scheme devised by Section 31 as a way to ensure the Romulans remain on the side of the Federation in the Dominion War. This episode is full of intrigue, politics, and scheming....everything that makes for a good Section 31 episode. We learn more about Sloan, Section 31 and its intentions, and how far Bashir is willing to go...or not go.

On a corner in the center of St. Cloud, next to a former Wells Fargo bank, Abdikadir Bashir can view bustling cultural malls in three directions.There's a restaurant, a cafe, retail shops, a halal market, a health clinic — all started by East African immigrants who now call St. Cloud home.This busy hub is the heart of the recently arrived immigrant community in St. Cloud. Bashir, executive director of the Center for African Immigrants and Refugees Organization, said it challenges stereotypes of immigrants as a drain on the community.“This neighborhood is a testament to the contrary — that immigrants come here and do make the new communities better, economically, socially and culturally,” Bashir said. “And that's what we also intend to continue.”St. Cloud-based CAIRO provides services and support to immigrants and refugees, including education, health programs and workforce training. Those efforts have expanded to include helping address the shortage of housing in St. Cloud, one of multiple local efforts led by people of color.CAIRO bought the nearly 4-acre property on 33rd Avenue and Third Street North last year. It plans a mixed-use development with commercial, office and event space, and 70 rental apartments. “We came to realize that housing anchors everything,” Bashir said. “It is the foundation to human development. It is the foundation to community progress. Without a roof over your head, children will not be able to go to school. You will not be healthy. You will not be prospering economically.”The project is named Iskufilan Village. The Somali word means sufficient, whole or complete. Its supporters envision a thriving community hub that fosters a sense of belonging, with local businesses and essential services conveniently close by.Most of the 70 apartments will have three or four bedrooms. Bashir said that space is crucial for larger immigrant families that often include six or more people, compared to the U.S. average of 2.5.“We hear of moms that tend to hide their pregnancies, sometimes out of fear of growing out of their current apartment, or getting kicked out by a landlord,” he said. “I have heard stories of a family living in two adjacent apartments because one apartment is not (large) enough for them.”   The housing will be open to anyone, not restricted to immigrants or any certain demographics. Bashir said the project is driven by a belief in East African culture of a collective responsibility to solve problems.“It is led by the community,” he said. “It's coming from the community, because we have that lived experience.”At least 10 percent of the units will be designated as affordable, and the rest targeted toward middle-income working residents. Nearly half of St. Cloud's renters are cost-burdened, meaning they spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing.CAIRO is putting together the private financing for the project. They're also asking the Legislature for $5 million in state funds.At a recent Senate housing committee meeting, Farhiya Iman spoke in favor of the project. She's an educator and social worker who's lived in St. Cloud for 20 years.Iman said she frequently sees families working full time, but still unable to find affordable housing.“Housing isn't just about walls and roof. It's about stability. It's about dignity. It's about opportunity,” she said. “And for far too many families in St. Cloud, that opportunity does not exist.”St. Cloud's need for apartments is just the start. A recent study estimated the city needs 17,000 new housing units over the next 15 years.Mayor Jake Anderson, who took office in January, said the city also needs single-family homes, senior housing and low-income housing. Without adequate housing, it's difficult for the city to attract new businesses, and it risks losing workers and talent to other places, Anderson said.“If you're not adding housing and then families are beginning to expand, they're going to move,” he said. “So you may see migration out of the city to either other cities in the region or other regional centers.”Another St. Cloud group wants to make the dream of home ownership a reality for more people.Dreamliner Estates LLC was founded by three community leaders of color who come from different professional backgrounds: public transit, community engagement and finance.“We see the struggles when it comes to underrepresented communities, people of color and we see the struggles, how hard it is for them to even attain housing,” said co-founder Ryan Daniel, who is also CEO of St. Cloud Metro Bus, the city's transit service.Owning a home is important for families to build generational wealth, Daniel said. But statistically, home ownership rates in St. Cloud are lower for people of color.Daniel's partners are Eunice Adjei and Emmanuel Oppong. The siblings are originally from Ghana, West Africa, and have both lived in St. Cloud for more than a decade.Adjei is director of multicultural services for St. Cloud Financial Credit Union. She said the application process often deters people in underserved communities from buying a home.“We really want to make sure that they understand all the rules when it comes to housing, so that that wouldn't deter them from being part of the solution,” Adjei said.Dreamliner Estates secured a $3.4 million state grant from Minnesota Housing for the first phase. Daniel said they hope to complete four homes on St. Cloud's south side by the end of the year. Eventually, they plan to build a total of 34 homes.The plan calls for twin homes, each with four bedrooms, to accommodate large families or several generations living together, which is common in collectivist cultures.“Some demographics prefer to have not just Mom, Dad and kids,” said Oppong, who also serves as the city's community engagement director. “They want to have Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandad, nephews and cousins all living closely.”An Islamic prohibition on paying or earning interest can make it challenging for Muslims to buy a home. Adjei said St. Cloud Financial Credit Union, Stearns Bank and other area lending institutions currently provide or plan to offer Sharia-compliant alternatives to traditional mortgages.Both organizations say they know their projects are only a first step toward meeting the community's housing shortage.“Like they say, a journey of 1,000 miles starts with one step,” Bashir said. “This is that one step.”

No Sudão, esta sexta-feira, o exército anunciou ter retomado o controlo do Palácio Presidencial em Cartum que estava nas mãos das Forças de Apoio Rápido, há mais de dois anos, desde o início da guerra civil que provocou a maior crise humanitária do mundo. Esta é “uma guerra pelo poder” entre o chefe do exército, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, e o comandante das Forças de Apoio Rápido, o general Hemedti, explica a especialista no Sudão, Daniela Nascimento, para quem a reconquista do Palácio Presidencial do Sudão “não significa necessariamente início do fim da guerra”. RFI: O que significa a retoma do controlo do Palácio Presidencial pelas forças do exército?Daniela Nascimento, Professora de Relações Internacionais da Faculdade de Economia da Universidade de Coimbra: “Não sabemos exatamente o que significa, no sentido em que o controlo do Palácio Presidencial - que é obviamente importante do ponto de vista daquela que tem sido a estratégia militar das Forças Armadas sudanesas contra as Forças de Apoio Rápido com quem disputam o poder nos últimos quase dois anos -  é um passo apenas no sentido de retomar o controlo da totalidade do território sudanês. É obviamente importante, mas as implicações desta reconquista, por assim dizer, ficam ainda por esclarecer porque dependerá da forma como as Forças de Apoio Rápido também responderão a esta perda de controlo de uma parte importantíssima do território porque simbolicamente o Palácio Presidencial é a representação do poder. Portanto, teremos agora que aguardar qual será o desenvolvimento e a resposta a esta alteração naquilo que é o jogo militar entre as duas partes.”Este pode ser o início do fim da guerra? Está confiante? “São um pouco mais pessimista. Não considero que este seja o início do fim do conflito, no sentido em que os últimos desenvolvimentos nesta guerra que, de alguma maneira, também permitiram este passo importante na tomada do controlo do Palácio e da capital sudanesa, nos dão alguns indícios de que do lado das Forças Armadas sudanesas, e em particular do general al-Burhan, não parece haver grande vontade de negociar um eventual cessar-fogo ou criar condições para um eventual cessar-fogo, partindo exactamente desta posição mais privilegiada agora do ponto de vista deste controlo territorial. Aqui há umas semanas, um mês talvez, o general al-Burhan tinha anunciado - também na sequência de uma conquista importante de uma parte do território da capital, Cartum -  a sua decisão de criar aquilo a que se chama um governo tecnocrático que iria ficar responsável pela gestão do país em tempo de guerra e que isso serviria também para alavancar aquela que era a sua estratégia de reconquista do controlo do país. Mas deixou muito claro, nessa altura, que não iria haver qualquer tipo de inclusão das Forças de Apoio Rápido e do General Hemedti neste processo, a não ser que se alterassem as condições militares e estratégicas no território. Portanto, pode ter até o efeito contrário, no sentido em que as Forças de Apoio Rápido podem usar esta derrota no sentido de se reforçar. Reforçar trincheiras e levar a um recrudescimento da resposta militar. Não nos podemos esquecer que, do ponto de vista militar, as Forças de Apoio Rápido são fortes e conseguiram manter uma posição importante nesta guerra durante estes últimos dois anos, em virtude também de um apoio que tem tido de forças externas, nomeadamente o Grupo Wagner.”Quem são estas Forças de Acção Rápidas e como é que elas têm conseguido controlar quase todo o Oeste do país? “Há aqui uma circunstância muito particular que é o de estas Forças de Apoio Rápido, lideradas pelo General Hemedti, serem forças que foram criadas há anos e estiveram até envolvidas naquele que foi um episódio dramático da vida do Sudão - o genocídio no Darfur em 2003. O general Hemedti foi um dos responsáveis pelo genocídio no Darfur, patrocinado pelo então Presidente Omar al-Bashir. Desde essa altura que estas forças se mantiveram com alguma capacidade de intervenção militar no território sudanês.Com a queda do regime de al-Bashir em 2019, em resultado das várias manifestações até da sociedade civil e que contaram com o apoio do Exército, com o apoio do general al-Bhuran, e desta figura que, entretanto, se foi destacando que é o general Hemedti…”Aliados na altura, não é?“Exatamente, que se aliaram numa primeira fase, num processo que idealmente teria dado lugar a um processo de transição democrática, de transição do poder militar para o poder civil, portanto de criação de um governo civil no Sudão, que era a vontade da maioria da população. Os militares alinharam com esse objectivo, mas a dada altura afastaram-se desse processo e boicotaram-no, assumindo novamente o controlo militar do país em 2023. É nessa altura que estas duas figuras se desentendem também do ponto de vista daquilo que era a sua ideia de poder e, sobretudo, do papel e do lugar que estas Forças de Apoio Rápido poderiam vir a ter no quadro das Forças Armadas sudanesas. Desde essa altura escalou-se para uma guerra civil com dois líderes que disputam o poder a todo o custo, numa guerra brutal, que criou aquela que é considerada, pelas Nações Unidas, como uma das maiores crises do momento. E, portanto, nós estamos aqui claramente com dois lados com uma capacidade militar significativa.Esta reconquista importante pelas Forças Armadas sudanesas pode ter aqui efeito de reajuste da estratégia militar de ambos os lados, mas, a meu ver, não significa necessariamente que seja o início do caminho para o fim da guerra.” Falou na maior crise humanitária do mundo, algo que foi reconhecido pela ONU. Como é que está a população e o país, dois anos depois do início desta guerra? “Está numa situação dramática. Do ponto de vista da crise de deslocação forçada, da crise alimentar, as consequências desta guerra têm sido devastadoras. Estamos a falar de milhões de pessoas deslocadas e directamente afectadas por esta guerra. Condições de segurança muitíssimo frágeis, que impedem inclusivamente as organizações humanitárias, em particular as organizações internacionais de âmbito humanitário, de actuar no terreno. Quer dizer, em termos de números, os números são assustadores. Estamos a falar de cerca de 13 milhões de pessoas forçadas a deslocar-se, quase 10 milhões de deslocados internos, milhares de refugiados que se vêem forçados a fugir para países vizinhos, onde as condições de segurança, de estabilidade, de sobrevivência, não são as melhores: o Sudão do Sul que também tem uma guerra; o Chade, que vive ainda um período de bastante instabilidade. É, de facto, uma situação devastadora.”Mais a fome, não é?“Mais a fome. É das maiores crises de fome da actualidade e dos últimos anos, que obviamente se agravará na sequência destes últimos desenvolvimentos do ponto de vista de política norte-americana e de corte significativo nos fundos. É uma situação dramática do ponto de vista humanitário, a que acrescem também  situações absolutamente trágicas do ponto de vista de violações sistemáticas dos direitos humanos. As acusações de alegadas campanhas de limpeza, de genocídio até, na região do Darfur, pelas Forças de Apoio Rápido, são várias e têm sido reportadas por inúmeras organizações.”E depois vão-se  encontrando valas comuns…“Exactamente. É uma guerra pelo poder que se faz à custa claramente da população civil, que é usada como arma de guerra, como alvo, como moeda de troca e que coloca a população sudanesa, mais uma vez, numa situação absolutamente dramática do ponto de vista humanitário e das violações a que tem sido sujeita. Há relatos de violação como arma de guerra contra mulheres, meninas e até bebés. Os últimos relatos de organizações humanitárias dão-nos conta de violação de crianças com menos de um ano, o que é, obviamente, uma campanha de terror que é levada a cabo no contexto da guerra no Sudão.”No meio deste terror e desta guerra de poder, qual é a solução para o conflito? “A solução para o conflito - para este e para tantos outros que nunca estão claramente ou parecem nunca estar no centro das prioridades - é o apoio por parte dos actores externos, no sentido de se conseguir um cessar-fogo. Ou seja, tentar chamar as partes à negociação, tentar que efectivamente se baixem as armas e se inicie um processo negocial que permita efectivamente condições para que a guerra tenha fim e que se inicie um processo de transição, de reconstrução pós-violência e que, de alguma maneira, coloque no centro das prioridades as expectativas muito legítimas de paz da população do Sudão e não as condições das partes beligerantes. Eu sei que isto pode parecer um pouco utópico, inviável, mas verdadeiramente uma guerra com esta dimensão - uma guerra com estes contornos, que é semelhante a outras guerras com as mesmas características e para as quais tem sido extremamente difícil chegar a um fim formal da guerra como ponto de partida para o fim verdadeiramente estrutural da guerra e criação de condições para a paz justa -  parece-me que esse investimento sério, do ponto de vista de criação de condições para cessar-fogo e, a partir daí, condições para a paz, é essencial. Mas isso implica, obviamente, vontade política também de quem tem alguma capacidade de influenciar estas dinâmicas de violência, de assumir essa posição e esse compromisso. Pouco se fala de organizações regionais envolvidas na tentativa de resolução. As várias tentativas que tivemos, neste caso, falharam em grande medida também por ser difícil convencer as partes a negociar, mas tem que haver pelo menos tentativa e iniciativa nesse sentido, caso contrário, entramos numa espiral de guerra que nunca termina.”A agenda diplomática mundial é dominada por outras guerras, mas dá a ideia que não se fala do Sudão. Há guerras de primeira e de segunda? Por que é que não se fala do Sudão? Ou tão pouco? “Não se fala do Sudão, não se fala do Sudão do Sul, não se fala de tantas outras realidades de violência. Pouco se tem falado, por exemplo, na guerra e na instabilidade que se tem visto também recrudescer na zona dos Grandes Lagos, no Congo, onde têm morrido milhares de pessoas. Pouco ou nada se fala sobre essas situações de violência e de guerra. Isso explica-se pela falta de importância política, de importância estratégica de muitos destes conflitos relativamente àquelas que são as prioridades de agenda dos actores com mais capacidade de se afirmarem e de investirem nestes contextos.Estamos claramente com as atenções focadas na Ucrânia - e bem, ou seja, não significa que deixe de se falar e de se investir na paz na Ucrânia - mas isso não pode ser à custa da negligência e do esquecimento, do ignorar de circunstâncias de guerra que são igualmente dramáticas e, eventualmente, até mais, com consequências humanas mais devastadoras neste momento e que exigiria, obviamente, um reequilibrar das atenções políticas e mediáticas destas guerras. O Sudão já foi muito importante na agenda internacional. Deixou de ser importante a partir do momento em que há um acordo de paz entre o Norte e o Sul em 2005. A partir desse momento, nem a guerra no Sudão do Sul interessou ou importou aos actores que estiveram tão investidos na tentativa da busca de paz no Sudão. Parece-me que há aqui esta circunstância infeliz de estarmos perante uma guerra em contextos que verdadeiramente não interessam à maioria dos actores da comunidade internacional.”

This week, we discuss the greatest fake band of the 2020s, or at least our favorite. It's time to talk about the band Lady Parts, the all-Muslim woman punk band from the show We Are Lady Parts!

Summary: This talk explains Sudan's descent into a horrific war that is the world's worst humanitarian crisis. The war has displaced over 11 million people, involved the targeting of civilians, including especially women, in mass violence, and precipitated a hunger crisis affecting over 24 million people, with over 630,000 currently facing famine. How, after a momentous civilian uprising in 2018-19 that toppled the dictator Omer el-Bashir after 30 years of authoritarian rule, did Sudan come to this? Unravelling the causes and events that led to tragedy begins with how counter-revolutionary actors within the State benefitted from the priorities of external peacemakers seeking to achieve a democratic transition in order to displace revolutionary forces, before carrying out a coup against that very transition. The war erupted when the counter-revolution itself unravelled, and its two primary bedfellows, the Sudan Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces fell-out violently with each other in a struggle for power. With complex regional geopolitical entanglements and drawing in other armed groups in Sudan, their war to the bitter end has mixed cruel indifference and intentional harm towards civilians in devastating ways. Remarkably, the revolutionary spirit of the Sudanese has not been vanquished, and has found expression in how neighbourhood resistance committees have transformed into ‘emergency response rooms' to deliver life-saving support. Sudan's plight and prospects lie precariously within these intersecting trajectories.Sharath Srinivasan is David and Elaine Potter Professor of International Politics at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of King's College, Cambridge.

Sudan's plight and prospects lie precariously within these intersecting trajectories.Sharath Srinivasan is David and Elaine Potter Professor of International Politics at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of King's College, Cambridge.

Art has a unique ability to transcend language, evoke emotion, and bring people together across cultural divides. This idea is embodied in the work of Samra Bashir, whose glass paintings celebrate the rich traditions of South Asian and Islamic art while inviting a broader audience into their intricate beauty. Samra's journey as an artist began as a personal escape—something she turned to during challenging times. But over the years, her work evolved into something much larger. Through her use of glass paint and light, she has built not just an art practice, but also a powerful means of storytelling, connection, and cultural education. In this episode of The Art Biz, host Alyson Stanfield talks with Samra about: How her creative journey started and what led her to glass painting. The role of light in her work and why it's an essential element. How she uses art to foster community and bridge cultural gaps. The importance of stepping out from behind the screen and sharing art in real-life spaces. Samra's story is a reminder that art doesn't just exist in isolation—it thrives in conversation, connection, and shared experiences. 01:50 Samra's Early Inspirations 02:28 Reviving Her Art in the U.S.04:05 Samra's Cultural Heritage and How It Shows Up in Her Work 08:42 Building an Audience and Overcoming Challenges11:37 Balancing Multiple Roles and Art 18:47 The Importance of Community and Teaching Workshops22:43 Connecting Through Art and Overcoming Barriers 26:08 Practical Tips for Artists to Engage with Community 36:50 Conclusion and Practical Applications for You

This Day in Legal History: Milošević Stands TrialOn February 12, 2002, the trial of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milošević began at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague. It was the first time a former head of state was tried for war crimes by an international tribunal. Milošević faced 66 charges, including genocide, crimes against humanity, and violations of the laws of war, stemming from conflicts in Bosnia, Croatia, and Kosovo during the 1990s. Prosecutors accused him of orchestrating ethnic cleansing campaigns that led to mass killings, deportations, and atrocities, particularly against Bosniaks, Croats, and Kosovar Albanians. Defiantly refusing to recognize the tribunal's legitimacy, Milošević insisted on representing himself in court. The trial, one of the most complex in modern history, lasted over four years, involving thousands of documents and hundreds of witnesses. His defense centered on denying personal responsibility, blaming NATO, and portraying himself as a protector of Serbs. However, the proceedings never reached a conclusion—Milošević died of a heart attack in his prison cell on March 11, 2006, before a verdict could be issued. His death frustrated victims who sought justice and left legal scholars debating whether the trial had succeeded in advancing international accountability. The case, despite its abrupt end, set a precedent for prosecuting heads of state for war crimes and influenced later trials, including those of Charles Taylor and Omar al-Bashir.The U.S. Justice Department under President Donald Trump has significantly reduced its anti-corruption enforcement, halting prosecutions and weakening key laws. Officials have pulled back on enforcing the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which bans corporate bribery abroad, arguing that American companies should not be penalized for standard international business practices. Prosecutors were also ordered to drop a criminal case against New York Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat with ties to Trump, citing his re-election campaign and other priorities. In addition, the department has disbanded efforts to sanction Russian oligarchs and dismissed veteran prosecutors who handled cases against Trump. Attorney General Pam Bondi framed these actions as an attempt to root out political bias in the justice system. Ethics officials and independent government watchdogs have been fired or reassigned, including inspectors general and whistleblower protection leaders. Critics, including legal scholars and former officials, warn that these moves align law enforcement with Trump's political agenda and weaken anti-corruption safeguards established after Watergate. Republican Senator Chuck Grassley has expressed concern and vowed to investigate, while some Democrats and former prosecutors see the changes as an effort to dismantle legal mechanisms designed to hold public officials accountable.Trump's Justice Department hits the brakes on anti-corruption enforcement | ReutersGail Slater, President Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Justice Department's antitrust division, is set to face tough questioning from the Senate during her confirmation hearing. As a former economic adviser to Vice President JD Vance and a veteran antitrust attorney, Slater would oversee major cases against tech giants like Google and Apple if confirmed. Senate Democrats are expected to press her on maintaining enforcement and independence, especially amid concerns that the administration is undermining the DOJ's traditional nonpartisanship. Senator Cory Booker has raised alarms about potential staffing cuts at the DOJ's antitrust division, warning they could weaken protections for consumers. Other Democrats, including Senators Peter Welch and Amy Klobuchar, plan to question Slater on her commitment to continuing efforts to lower prices in healthcare, housing, and agriculture. Meanwhile, Republican Senator Mike Lee has voiced support for Slater, expecting her to carry on Trump's push against Big Tech monopolies. Slater's background includes roles at Fox Corp, Roku, and a now-defunct tech industry lobbying group, raising further concerns about her potential ties to the companies she would regulate. Her confirmation will be a key test of the administration's approach to antitrust enforcement and corporate consolidation.Trump's DOJ antitrust nominee to be grilled on enforcement | ReutersTom Goldstein, co-founder of SCOTUSblog, has asked to be released from jail after prosecutors accused him of violating his release conditions by secretly moving millions in cryptocurrency. Goldstein was arrested after a Maryland federal court found probable cause that he had misled officials about his finances. The government claims he used undisclosed crypto wallets for large transactions while arguing in court that he needed his home's equity to fund his defense.  Goldstein's attorneys argue the government is mistaken, stating that he does not own the wallets in question. They claim text messages cited by prosecutors actually show Goldstein directing funds to a third party to settle a debt, not controlling the wallets himself. Goldstein faces charges of tax evasion, aiding false tax returns, failing to pay taxes, and lying on a loan application, with prosecutors alleging he concealed gambling income and misused his firm's funds. He has pleaded not guilty and maintains he will be exonerated at trial. His legal team, including lawyers from Munger Tolles & Olson LLP, has filed an emergency motion for his release, and he has also been permitted to represent himself in court.Tom Goldstein Seeks Release, Denies Control Over Crypto WalletsNew Jersey's proposed bill, S1756, is a smart adjustment to the state's senior property tax relief system, allowing older homeowners to downsize without losing their eligibility for tax benefits. Right now, seniors who move must restart the tax reimbursement process, which can mean higher property taxes and a financial disincentive to selling. By making these benefits portable, the bill removes an unnecessary barrier to housing mobility, freeing up larger homes for younger families without adding excessive costs to the state budget.  This approach is a model for other states struggling with housing shortages and inefficient tax incentives, but it's not perfect. The bill's $500,000 income cap is too high, providing relief to seniors who may not need it. A more reasonable threshold—like 500% of the federal poverty level—would better target those on fixed incomes. Additionally, a cap on home values would ensure benefits don't go to wealthy homeowners with expensive properties but low taxable income. A reasonable solution would be to apply tax relief only to the first 150% of a state's median home price, preventing subsidies from disproportionately benefiting the wealthy.  Ultimately, this bill corrects a major flaw in New Jersey's tax policy without overhauling the system or eliminating relief for seniors who need it. But states following this example should refine their programs to ensure they help those who truly need assistance, rather than offering broad-based entitlements that distort housing markets.NJ Senior Property Tax Relief Needs Nuance to Be Most Effective This is a public episode.

Episode Notes Instead of a hard-hitting question we dive into food porn for a bit. For the Cause: What are industrial replicators? Uh oh, Ben. This is point where the Maquis jump the shark. Cardassian saunas. Where's the episode where Sisko's security clearance is reviewed? Garak makes Bashir jealous. Jude's theory of bad hairlines. To the Death: Haven't talked about Jem'Hadar recently... Wait, I know that voice! The Vorta offer to make Sisko the absolute ruler of the Federation. Star gates? We aren't covering THAT show yet.

Even though Section 31 only appeared/was mentioned in three Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes, the shady institution made a considerable impression on both fans and the franchise.With the Section 31 movie now streaming, this week we look back at the origins of Starfleet's morally-flexible spy service and its overall role in the franchise by revisiting its early appearances on DS9. We also discuss how Star Trek: Enterprise teased Section 31 in two very underrated episodes. So watch out for Sloan and listen now to TR3!

Nothing like a mid-season script hackjob to bring your hosts down as we review the difficult "Melora". A deeply irritating woman comes to DS9, Julian is attracted to her for no particular reason, we get clumsy disability allegory, but at least Odo gets to watch Quark suffer! 

This week on Trek Geeks, Bill and Dan are donning their tuxedos (metaphorically, of course) and ordering their martinis "shaken, not stirred" as they dive into the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine classic, Our Man Bashir! Join us for a lively discussion of this holosuite caper that combines Star Trek's charm with a healthy dose of spy genre flair. But wait—there's more! The guys simply can't help themselves, so prepare for an avalanche of references to James Bond, Austin Powers, Our Man Flint, and even Matt Helm. From Sean Connery's suave moves to Mike Myers' groovy antics, nothing is off-limits as they connect the dots between 1960s spy kitsch and the future of Starfleet. You'll laugh, you'll groan (at Dan, mostly), and you might even be inspired to watch a Bond flick or two after this episode. Is this their most over-the-top discussion yet? Possibly. Is it a blast? Absolutely. Don't miss it! Grab your gadgets, geeks—this mission is about to self-destruct in 3… 2… 1…

When a humble tailor can't keep his hands to himself, we are gifted the opportunity to review "Cardassians"! After Garak gets bit, the galaxy's most complex custody battle takes place.

Ar an ochtú lá de mhí na Nollag, ghabh reibiliúnaithe armtha príomhchathair na Siria, an Damaisc, rud a spreag an rialóir fadtréimhseach forlámhach, an tUachtarán Bashar al-Assad, chun teitheadh as an tír. Fógraíodh Dé Domhnaigh go bhfuil tearmann tugtha do Assad sa Rúis. Tagann an t-aistriú seo tar éis 13 bliana de chogadh cathartha agus tugann sé deireadh éifeachtach le riail réimeas Assad. D'iarr príomh-aire eatramhach nua na Siria, Mohamed al-Bashir, ar na Siriaigh a theith ó réimeas Assad agus atá ag lorg tearmainn ar fud na cruinne “teacht ar ais”. “Ní mór dúinn atógáil, ár dtír a fháil ar a cosa arís agus tá cúnamh gach duine ag teastáil,” a dúirt sé in agallamh le meáin na hIodáile. Chuir tráchtairí timpeall an domhain fáilte chúramach roimh dheireadh réimeas Assad, a tháinig i gcumhacht tar éis bhás a athar sa bhliain 2000. Gabhadh fear óg mar amhrastach as marú Príomhoifigeach Feidhmiúcháin árachas sláinte ardphróifíle i Nua-Eabhrac. Caitheadh Brian Thompson go luath ar maidin an tseachtain seo caite in Manhattan.

Gabhadh Luigi Mangione, atá 26 bliain d'aois, in Pennsylvania tar éis leid ó oibrí McDonald's agus tá sé cúisithe as an dúnmharú. Cé gur mhol roinnt tráchtairí ar líne é mar laoch, rinne daoine eile anailís ar a phoist ar líne agus iad ar thóir leideanna idé-eolaíocha maidir lena spreagadh. Chuir Uachtarán na Fraince, Emmanuel Macron, fáilte roimh aíonna lena n-áirítear Donald Trump chuig Ardeaglais Notre-Dame i bPáras dá searmanas athoscailte, cúig bliana go leith tar éis dóiteán ollmhór gur bheag nár scrios an Ardeaglais go huile is go hiomlán.

The unexpected toppling this weekend of the Assad regime by rebel forces brought a swift end to Syria's 13-year uprising-cum-civil war and over half a century of authoritarian rule. Syrians around the world have celebrated the development, with thousands walking free from the regime's hellish prisons. But in the aftermath, the situation remains volatile. Israel has struck targets inside Syria and moved troops deeper into the occupied Golan Heights, while international powers jockey for influence. Mohammed al-Bashir, who led the rebels' de facto government in northwest Syria, has been named interim prime minister.Syrian journalist Rami Jarrah was among those celebrating Bashar al-Assad's fall, but he's worried about what happens in his country now. He reported from Syria during the early uprisings in 2011 and throughout the civil war, including Aleppo in 2016 during the intense bombardment. On this week's episode of The Intercept Briefing, he says his own experience being detained and tortured by the Syrian government informs his concerns. “For a long time I had a serious grudge. I wanted revenge. Revenge that looked very ugly. And it's why I understand how a situation like Syria, where there is this change of power, and how dangerous that can be because the things I was thinking about after what happened to me and what happened to loved ones of mine. I could not have been trusted to have authority in my hands if we'd gotten a hold of the perpetrators or even people that maybe just corresponded to the perpetrators. I don't think I would have made sensible decisions. I think the last 4 or 5 years, I've been able to reflect,” he recounts.He says Assad and his family fleeing to Russia gives Syria a chance to move forward in a productive way. Had Assad stayed and fought, “we could have fallen into a civil war very quickly. … I think him fleeing sends a crippling message to those that supported him,” Jarrah says. “It made it much more likely that there could be a reconciliation process between those that supported Assad and those that were victims of Assad's system.”To hear more of the conversation, listen to this week's episode of The Intercept Briefing.

Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the Islamist group that toppled Bashar al-Assad in Syria, appointed Mohammed al-Bashir as caretaker prime minister.

Syrians continue to celebrate the fall of Bashar al-Assad, the dictator whose decades-long rule was marked by terror and violence against his own people. But the situation on the ground is fluid and complex. Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, one of the key rebel groups controlling Damascus, has former ties to Al-Qaeda and is currently labeled a terrorist group by the United States government. Its leader, Mohammed al-Bashir, was appointed Syria's caretaker prime minister and said Tuesday he'll run a transitional government until March. Meanwhile, Israel launched dozens of airstrikes Tuesday targeting Syrian military installations and weapons stockpiled by the Assad regime. We'll talk about what's next for Syria and the alliances that kept Assad in power and get reactions from Syrians in California. Guests: Ruth Michaelson , journalist based in Istanbul, The Guardian Natasha Hall, senior fellow with the Middle East Program, Center for Strategic and International Studies Sammy Hajomar, Los Angeles resident of Syrian descent Marwan Chehadeh, San Diego resident of Syrian descent
