Podcasts about Blackwater

The infuriating Senate race in Maine must have Hitler, Himmler, and Goebbels cheering in hell. Dean breaks down his latest New York Sun column regarding Senator Susan Collins and her Democratic challenger, Graham Plattner. Dean pulls no punches discussing Plattner's Nazi Totenkopf tattoo, history with Blackwater, bloodlust for killing, and disturbing allegations of domestic abuse. So much for “believe all women.” Media Double Standards: Watch how corporate media handles a leftist candidate in crisis. Dean reacts to audio clips of CNN's Jake Tapper softening questions with James Carville with needless details that assist Carville in avoided Platner's evil, MSNOW's Chris Hayes tossing softball confirmation questions, and Congressman Ro Khanna moving the "red line" from believing women who allege abuse to saying it's cool as long as they don't leave more than “marks” on their bodies. The Scott Pelley "Combat" Myth: Dean calls out CBS anchor Scott Pelley for doubling down on claims of experiencing combat as a journalist, contrasting it sharply with the genuine humility of World War II and D-Day veterans. Pete Hegseth & French Ingratitude: On the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, residents of a French village claim U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth isn't welcome due to "warlike views." Dean delivers a blistering history lesson on Vichy France, historical collaboration, and the sacrifices marked by rows of American tombstones. Hollywood's "Dark Slop" Crisis: Turning to pop culture, Dean uses a clip from Raiders of the Lost Podcast discussing Legally Blonde to analyze why modern movies look visually unappealing, poorly lit, and homogenous compared to classic cinema shot on actual film.

War isn't what you think it is. A former Navy Special Warfare operator and Blackwater contractor reveals what really happens behind military operations, private armies, and global conflict. This episode of Live From America features a powerful and unfiltered conversation with Trevor Fortner — a former Navy Special Warfare operator and Blackwater private military contractor. Trevor shares firsthand experiences from war zones, including protecting U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad in Iraq, and gives rare insight into how modern warfare actually operates beyond what the public sees. We break down the reality of war — the difference between controlled military strategy and the chaos experienced on the ground — and explore the controversial world of private military contractors (PMCs), including Blackwater and comparisons to groups like Russia's Wagner Group. The conversation dives into: The truth about private military companies and how they operate The Nisour Square incident and the complexities behind it Accountability, regulation, and the evolution of PMCs The business of war and who really benefits Patriotism, national service, and cultural identity Why war may be inevitable — or driven by leadership decisions Trevor also shares personal reflections on time, leadership, and what he learned from operating in high-risk environments across the world. This is a deep, thought-provoking discussion about war, power, and the systems that shape global conflict.

Dans le collimateur de la politique anti-immigration de l'administration Trump se trouvent non seulement les sans-papiers latino-américains, mais aussi les communautés asiatiques. Plus de 8 000 Vietnamiens ont été arrêtés, et près d'un millier expulsés vers un pays que certains n'avaient pas vu depuis des décennies, nous explique Chi Phuong Nguyen de la rédaction vietnamienne de RFI. Les expulsions provoquent des drames familiaux et suscitent une vive émotion, notamment chez les proches, souvent laissés sans nouvelles. Beaucoup de ces personnes faisaient partie des réfugiés de l'après-guerre du Vietnam, jusqu'ici protégés par un accord bilatéral empêchant leur expulsion. Sa remise en cause par l'administration Trump est perçue comme une trahison par de nombreuses ONG. Ce durcissement intervient alors même qu'une partie importante de la diaspora vietnamienne soutient Donald Trump, notamment pour ses positions anti-communistes. Beaucoup minimisent les expulsions, estimant qu'elles ne concernent que des criminels. Mais cette perception est aussi alimentée par la désinformation et la barrière linguistique. Une fracture générationnelle apparaît : les jeunes Américains d'origine vietnamienne contestent davantage ces politiques et se mobilisent pour défendre les membres les plus vulnérables de leur communauté. Un an de Vectus Global en Haïti : un bilan mitigé et un contrat toujours tenu secret Le 1er mars 2025, les habitants de Port-au-Prince entendaient pour la première fois les détonations de drones explosifs opérés par des mercenaires de Vectus Global, société fondée par l'Américain Erik Prince, ancien patron de Blackwater. Un peu plus d'un an après, les organisations de défense des droits humains dressent un bilan mitigé de la présence des mercenaires et pointent l'opacité du contrat qui lie Vectus Global à l'État haïtien, explique Justine Fontaine. Au Honduras, le dérèglement climatique perturbe la semaine sainte C'est comme cela que les catholiques appellent la semaine qui précède Pâques. La fête marque la résurrection du Christ, et dans les jours précédents, il est d'usage pour les fidèles de manger du poisson. Problème : le poisson commence à manquer dans ce pays bordé par l'océan Pacifique et par la mer des Caraïbes. La biodiversité dans le golfe de Fonseca est menacée.

After the long winter break and with the 2026 season now truly under way, we kick the year off and look ahead to the salmon fishing season. Joining Tom on this week's episode is Conor Arnold from the Blackwater. Tom is also joined by Garrett Ruigrok as co presenter and they ask Conor for his thoughts and (more importantly) hopes for 2026, mindful of the disappointing salmon year of 2025.  There is a tinge of optimism which time will tell whether it is well founded or not.Conor also discusses his role last year in getting involved after the catastrophic fish kill on the Blackwater when he rose to prominence nationally in dealing with Government bodies and politicians after this disaster.We also discuss the current standing regarding salmon angling regulations, which is very much a wait and see exercise. And for anyone brave enough to venture forth in the search of spring silver, we get a good insight in to the tactics to adopt in their pursuit.  Keep up to date with all the latest Ireland on the Fly on https://www.IrelandontheFly.com and get regular updates on https://Instagram.com/IrelandontheFly. 

A Clare businesswoman has been left devastated after her newly refurbished shop was broken into and ransacked...less than 24 hours after its grand opening! The incident happened at a Spar store in Blackwater near Parteen, where significant damage was caused and a number of items were stolen. Gardaí are now investigating. To tell us what happened and how she's dealing with the aftermath, Alan Morrissey spoke with Alannah Barron on Friday's Morning Focus. Photo (c) Barrons Blackwater Instagram

We're told this is about bad guys, nuclear threats, and national security. History—and this moment—tell a different story. In this You're Not Gonna Believe This Bullshit episode, Amanda traces America's regime change playbook—then sits down with investigative journalist, co-founder of Drop Site News, Jeremy Scahill to break down what's really driving the current wars in Iran and Gaza. - Trump launching strikes on Iran amid disputed “nuclear threat” claims - The coordination of war decisions with Netanyahu—and why that matters - Kushner's role in Gaza reconstruction plans that look a lot like real estate development - “Negotiations” with Iran happening alongside military escalation - The long history of regime change—and who actually benefits If it feels chaotic, it's not. It's a pattern. About Jeremy:  Jeremy Scahill is co-founder of Drop Site News. He was previously a Senior Correspondent and Editor-at-Large at The Intercept and is one of the three founding editors of The Intercept. He is an investigative reporter, war correspondent, and author of the international best-selling books “Dirty Wars: The World Is a Battlefield” and “Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army.” He has reported from Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen, Nigeria, the former Yugoslavia, and elsewhere across the globe. Scahill has served as the national security correspondent for The Nation and “Democracy Now!”. He continues to host the podcast Intercepted.

He was twice awarded the prestigious George Polk Award, in 1998 for foreign reporting and in 2008 for “Blackwater.” Scahill is a producer and writer of the award-winning film “Dirty Wars,” which premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for an Academy Award.

In the final installment of our three-part investigative series, Ash and Kristen put the stories of Sally Horner, Jan Broberg, and the infamous novel Lolita side by side.At first glance, these cases seem unrelated... a forgotten 1948 kidnapping, a shocking 1970s true crime case, and one of the most controversial novels ever written. But when you line them up, a disturbing pattern begins to emerge.Authority.Grooming.Isolation.Movement.Social camouflage.Narrative control.Public misunderstanding.In this episode, Ash breaks down the blueprint of coercive control that connects all three stories and explores how predators manipulate not just their victims, but the people and systems around them.Because once you see the pattern… you can't unsee it. And the more you recognize it, the harder it becomes for these stories to repeat themselves unnoticed.TW: For everything mentioned above... this is an upsetting topic that I found very difficult to research, make sure to take care of yourselves

On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, we're joined by Taylor from Always Bent Fishing to break down kayak fishing in Ocean City Maryland, Eastern Shore fishing opportunities, and the hidden potential of Maryland's legendary blackwater fisheries.The Eastern Shore of Maryland is the stretch of land east of the Chesapeake Bay, known for its vast network of tidal rivers, coastal bays, marshes, and backwater systems. It's one of the most unique fisheries in the Mid-Atlantic, offering a mix of freshwater, brackish, and saltwater environments all within a short drive. This region is famous for its diverse species, consistent fishing opportunities, and less pressured waters compared to the western side of the bay. From shallow grass flats to open ocean access, the Eastern Shore truly gives anglers the ability to fish everything from kayak backwaters to offshore tuna grounds.We dive deep into inshore kayak fishing techniques, back bay fishing Ocean City MD, and how to consistently find fish in the coastal bays, tidal creeks, and marsh systems that make this region one of the most diverse fisheries on the East Coast. If you're into saltwater kayak fishing, inshore fishing Maryland, or targeting species like striped bass, red drum, flounder, and speckled trout, this episode is loaded with actionable insight.We also explore the highly talked-about blackwater fishing in Maryland, including tannin-stained rivers and low-visibility systems across the Eastern Shore. Learn why these dark water fisheries hold big fish, how to adjust your bass fishing techniques, and what lures and presentations excel in stained water and low-visibility conditions. This is a must-listen for anglers targeting largemouth bass in blackwater, tidal river fishing, and Eastern Shore bass fishing hotspots.Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon: https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcast If you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at fishingtheDMV@gmail.comAlways bent.com https://www.alwaysbent.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@alwaysbentfishing Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alwaysbentfishingoc?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== Facebook: http://facebook.com/AlwaysBentFishingOC Jake's bait & Tackle Website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/ Link to Tactical Fishing Company: https://tacticalfishingco.com/ Fishing Pro Tech: https://www.facebook.com/FishingProTech  Phone Number: (757) 566-1278Email: lin@fishingprotech.usFishing Pro Tech Address: Support the show

Jay and Mark discuss Black Water (2007) and Black Water: Abyss (2020). The Australian survival horror-thriller films focus on what happens when attractive people battle hungry crocodiles in remote locations.

In this episode, we unpack the long road to the Iraq War, from the 1953 CIA-backed coup in Iran and U.S. support for Saddam Hussein during the Iran–Iraq War to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, the Gulf War, sanctions, weapons inspections, and the Bush administration's false claims about weapons of mass destruction. We dig into how 9/11 reshaped U.S. foreign policy, how figures tied to PNAC pushed for regime change, and how intelligence around WMDs, yellowcake uranium, and Curveball helped sell the 2003 invasion of Iraq. We also cover shock and awe, Abu Ghraib, torture, Halliburton, Blackwater, civilian deaths, veteran trauma, and the trillions of dollars lost in a war that destabilized the region and left behind questions that still have not been answered.

PART III AVAILABLE NOW, AD-FREE, ON PATREON!This week we're revisiting one of the wildest and most disturbing cases we've ever covered: the abductions of Jan Broberg. This re-release is part two of our three-part investigative series exploring the disturbing patterns shared between the stories of Sally Horner, Jan Broberg, and the character known as "Lolita" or "Dolly" in the infamous novel Lolita.Make sure to check out last week's episode first, TSFU Ep. 187 - KIDNAPPED: Sally Horner & The Real Story Behind Lolita (Part I), where Ash told the story of Sally Horner, the real child whose 1948 kidnapping would later echo inside Nabokov's controversial novel. In the final installment of this series, we'll put all three stories side by side and expose the shared blueprint of authority, grooming, isolation, social camouflage, narrative control, and public misunderstanding that links them.Originally released in 2022, this episode dives into the case made famous by Netflix's documentary Abducted in Plain Sight. Ash told Cam about how trusted family friend Robert Berchtold groomed not just Jan, but her entire family... before abducting her at ages 12 and 14.The deeper you look, the more unbelievable it gets: secret affairs with both of Jan's parents, manipulation of an entire community, and a predator who managed to convince nearly everyone around him that he should be trusted. Berchtold had been abusing young girls since he was a child himself, and the adults around him repeatedly enabled it.TW: For everything mentioned above... this is an upsetting topic that I found very difficult to research, make sure to take care of yourselves

In this episode, host Mark Ledlow is joined by Robert Lamm, a Montana rancher, Marine veteran, and security professional they met on a confidential Northern California disaster project. Robert recounts joining the Marine Corps in 1999, deploying with 2/1 and a special-operations-capable unit, then serving in a security platoon supporting special operations across Southeast Asia, Afghanistan, and Iraq. After leaving the Marines, he guided hunts, then entered State Department contracting with Blackwater and Triple Canopy, later working nearly 10 years in Afghanistan, including base security, threat assessments, and training local nationals; he describes attacks, a VBIED blast injury, and concerns about TBI. He discusses executive protection work, industry backstabbing, and the importance of networking and teamwork. Now lead instructor at Tactic MT and director of training for Veterans Covert Protection Group, he focuses on mindset, firearms safety, soft skills, and raising security standards amid COVID, unrest, and ammo shortages.Learn about all this and more in this episode of The Fearless Mindset Podcast.KEY TAKEAWAYSSecurity industry success depends on networking and consistent performance - every detail is an interviewTeamwork and supporting colleagues during difficult times is essential in high-stress environmentsMindset determines survival - refusing to "go quietly" and maintaining mental resilience is criticalThe security industry needs to evolve beyond 1980s-90s standards with better training and professionalismTraining should cover both hard skills (firearms) and soft skills (communication, medical, client service)Families and clients increasingly want consistency in security personnel rather than constant turnoverAmericans need to take personal responsibility for their safety and not rely solely on authoritiesLiving each day as if it's your last is both a strength and challenge for veterans transitioning to civilian lifeReal security training must include mindset preparation, not just technical skillsUnity and helping each other matters more than political divisionsQUOTES"You're only as good as your last detail" - on reputation in executive protection"Your network is your net worth in this industry""Every firearm made is to kill another person easier than they can kill you" - on honest mindset training"One mind, any weapon" - Marine Corps philosophy on adaptability"If any politician's mouth is moving, he's lying""It boils down to your team - that's what you're really there for""We've gone from love to hate" - on social media and division"I'm not gonna go quietly" - on survival mindset"If you don't have the mindset, all you're doing is learning to sport shoot""We're social creatures - they're playing us from both sides"Get to know more about Robert Lamm through the links below.https://www.linkedin.com/in/eddiegarciava/To hear more episodes of The Fearless Mindset podcast, you can go to https://the-fearless-mindset.simplecast.com/ or listen on major podcasting platforms such as Apple, Google Podcasts, Spotify, etc. You can also subscribe to the Fearless Mindset YouTube Channel to watch episodes on video.

PART II AVAILABLE NOW, AD-FREE, ON PATREON!Ash and Kristen begin a three-part investigative series on the abduction of 11-year-old Sally Horner, the real child whose 1948 kidnapping would later echo inside one of the most controversial novels ever written, Lolita.In Part I, Ash breaks down how a convicted sex offender posing as an FBI agent groomed and kidnapped Sally, launching a 21-month ordeal built on authority, manipulation, and fear.Next week, we revisit the grooming and abduction of Jan Broberg. And in the finale, we put all three stories side by side- exposing the shared blueprint of coercive control, isolation, social camouflage, and narrative manipulation that connects them.Because these aren't just separate cases. They're the same pattern... repeated.TW: For everything mentioned above... this is an upsetting topic that I found very difficult to research, make sure to take care of yourselves

Ash and Kristen continue their dive into the wildly controversial world of Graham Hancock and his hotly debated speculations!In part two, the gals dig into Hancock's Ancient Apocalypse era- breaking down his theory that a catastrophic comet wiped out an advanced civilization at the end of the last Ice Age, whose survivors may have spread knowledge of agriculture, astronomy, and architecture across the world. They explore mysterious Indonesian mountaintop ruins, buried structures, global mythology connections, archaeological pushback, debate-stage drama, and Hancock's ventures into altered consciousness, psychedelics, and the eternal question: suppressed truth, misunderstood evidence… or just a really fascinating speculative rabbit hole?STUFF TO CHEER YOU UP:Ash's list of "Comfort Shows" (and where to watch them for freeeee)Ash learned a dance and actually filmed it... aka Ash dancing alone in …her yard aka "How Ash Likes to Party" Behind the scenes of Ash struggling to make a simple dance video ft. her SPARKLY BOOTS!PODS TO KEEP YOU INFORMED:It Could Happen Here- It Could Happen Here started as an exploration of the possibility of a new civil war.

« Les lignes de front se sont rallumées à l'aube, s'exclame Le Point Afrique. Depuis hier matin, les Forces armées de la République démocratique du Congo (FARDC), appuyées par les milices locales Wazalendo et soutenues par des drones, ont lancé des attaques simultanées sur plusieurs positions de l'AFC/M23 dans l'est du pays. Les combats les plus intenses se concentrent dans le territoire de Masisi, à proximité immédiate de Rubaya, site minier stratégique. Cette zone produit entre 15 % et 30 % du coltan mondial, minerai indispensable à l'industrie électronique. Pour le M23, l'enjeu est autant militaire qu'économique. (…) Cette nouvelle flambée, note encore Le Point Afrique, intervient au lendemain d'un événement majeur : la mort de Willy Ngoma, porte-parole militaire du M23, tué mardi près de Rubaya lors d'une frappe de drone attribuée aux FARDC. » Les drones : nouvelle arme fatale Le conflit est en train de prendre une nouvelle dimension avec justement l'utilisation de plus en plus massive de drones. En effet, explique Afrikarabia, site spécialisé sur la RDC, « depuis la résurgence du M23, fin 2021, le conflit s'est enlisé au sol pour l'armée congolaise, dont la faiblesse ne lui a jamais permis de reprendre le dessus sur les rebelles, ni de reprendre des localités significatives ». « En échec au sol, Kinshasa a (donc) décidé de déplacer les combats dans les airs, notamment avec l'usage de drones d'attaque. Le décès de Willy Ngoma montre que l'armée congolaise peut désormais mener des attaques ciblées, pointe Afrikarabia. Ses forces spéciales, formées et soutenues par les éléments israéliens des paramilitaires de l'Américain Erik Prince, qui sont déployés à Uvira, sont désormais capables de frapper n'importe où et en toutes circonstances. Les attaques de drones sur les rebelles permettent maintenant aux milices Wazalendos, en premières lignes au sol, de pouvoir gagner du terrain et déloger certaines positions rebelles. Ce qui est désormais le cas autour de Rubaya, de Minembwe et de Kavumu. » Le poids des États-Unis « La dynamique semble, fait inhabituel, évoluer en faveur des forces congolaises », renchérit Ledjely. Et les Américains y sans doute pour quelque chose… En effet, précise le site guinéen, « ces premiers revers enregistrés par la rébellion interviennent après l'accord signé à Washington entre Félix Tshisekedi, Paul Kagame et Donald Trump. Par ailleurs, à la suite du retrait rebelle d'Uvira, des éléments liés à la société paramilitaire fondée par Erik Prince, ex-patron de Blackwater, auraient été aperçus dans la région. Fait notable également, pointe Ledjely : la zone où Willy Ngoma a trouvé la mort se situerait à proximité de l'une des plus importantes mines de coltan du pays. Exploitée par la rébellion depuis qu'elle en a pris le contrôle en 2024, cette mine avait été pourtant intégrée au volet économique de l'accord de Washington. Et dès lors que des intérêts économiques majeurs entrent ouvertement en jeu, les États-Unis pourraient difficilement tolérer toute remise en cause de leurs positions stratégiques, relève encore le site guinéen. Dans ce nouveau contexte, la rébellion de l'AFC/M23 ainsi que ses parrains rwandais pourraient bien découvrir que l'équation militaire dans l'est congolais est en train de changer ». Offensive diplomatique Pendant ce temps, Félix Tshisekedi est à l'offensive sur le plan diplomatique. Le président congolais est en visite en France. Il a été reçu mercredi 25 février à l'Élysée par Emmanuel Macron. « La France a exprimé sa solidarité avec Kinshasa, relève Afrik.com, tout en appelant à une désescalade et à une solution durable conforme au droit international. Cette prise de position a lieu à un moment où la RDC multiplie les démarches diplomatiques pour internationaliser la question sécuritaire et obtenir des soutiens explicites sur la scène mondiale. Pour Kinshasa, chaque déclaration publique de soutien constitue un levier dans le rapport de force régional. Pour Paris, l'équation est plus délicate : préserver la stabilité des Grands Lacs sans rompre les équilibres diplomatiques avec Kigali ». Et dans le même temps, relève encore Afrik.com, un bras de fer diplomatique est en train de se jouer entre la RDC et le Rwanda :  « La RDC semble déterminée à arracher au Rwanda la tête de l'Organisation internationale de la francophonie (OIF). (…) La RDC qui envisage de présenter une candidature au secrétariat général de l'organisation. Cette ambition croise celle du Rwanda qui avait déjà annoncé la reconduction de la candidature de l'actuelle secrétaire générale, Louise Mushikiwabo, pour un troisième mandat ».

"Myself and my colleagues were not fooled, we knew exactly what the were intending to do, and so we got the band back together and we rose up to build an army of activists and advocates to fight them over the last seven years."Last year, Ben Goldsmith was lucky enough to visit the great Okefenokee swamp in Georgia; the largest federally protected area east of the Mississippi. The place is pure magic, full of birds and fish, alligators and the singing of frogs; dark night skies like he'd rarely seen. But it's a landscape under threat from mining. In this episode of Rewilding the world Ben Goldsmith is joined by Josh Marks, founder of Georgians for the Okefenokee, who is leading a heroic effort to secure this landscape forever.Ben Goldsmith is a British financier and rewilding enthusiast. Join him as he speaks to people from all over the world who champion nature and are helping to restore habitats and wildlife to some of the most nature depleted parts of our planet.This podcast is produced by The Podcast Coach.Text Rewilding the World here.

PART II ALREADY OUT ON PATREON! IT'S AD-FREE, AND THERE'S A TON OF OTHER GREAT PATREON PERKS, JOIN US THERE!Ash and Kristen begin their dive into the wildly controversial world of Graham Hancock and his hotly debated speculations. Along the way, they take approximately 700 Wikipedia detours through Gnosticism, Catharism, esoteric secret-knowledge clubs, and so much conspiracy-adjacent archaeology, religious relic lore, and Ice Age brain-melt timelines that Ash has to stop Kristen every 2-3 minutes to define something. So naturally, we had to make this a two-parter!In part one, the gals talk about Hancock's journey from respected journalist to alternative archaeologist who digs into controversial theories about lost ancient civilizations and literally everything else throughout time and space. They dig into his greatest hits: the Ark of the Covenant, the Knights Templar, pyramids/Sphinx “they're older than you think” chaos, the Face on Mars, and that whole “is this an ancient warning or just Virgin Mary on toast?” dilemma.STUFF TO CHEER YOU UP:Ash's list of "Comfort Shows" (and where to watch them for freeeee)Ash learned a dance and actually filmed it... aka Ash dancing alone in …her yard aka "How Ash Likes to Party" Behind the scenes of Ash struggling to make a simple dance video ft. her SPARKLY BOOTS!PODS TO KEEP YOU INFORMED:It Could Happen Here- It Could Happen Here started as an exploration of the possibility of a new civil war.

There’s a new trend taking the hobby by storm – blackwater tanks! These aquariums often have a stained appearance, with water resembling tea. They frequently are designed with lots of leaf litter and other botanicals, minimal flow, and little to no aquarium plants. Aside from the visual appearance, these tanks will also have lower pH and hardness, replicating softer water environments where many blackwater fish are found. The hosts discuss these setups in detail, covering design elements, equipment, water chemistry, and many of the fish species that thrive in these environments.

Then, we welcome Dino Grandoni, co-author of a Washington Post report on the surprising ways various species of animals and plants help advance our own health and longevity.Dino Grandoni is a reporter who covers life sciences for the Washington Post. He was part of a reporting team that was a finalist for the 2025 Pulitzer Prize in National Reporting for coverage of Hurricane Helene. He previously covered the Environmental Protection Agency and wrote a daily tipsheet on energy and environmental policy. He is co-author (with Hailey Haymond and Katty Huertas) of the feature “50 Species That Save Us.”The Democrats—while there are people like constitutional law expert Jamie Raskin (who has said a shadow hearing to publicly educate the American people on impeachment “is a good idea”) he's been muzzled by Hakeem Jeffries and Charlie Schumer, who basically don't want the Democrats to use the word impeachment. So who's using the word impeachment the most? Donald Trump—not only wants to impeach judges who decide against him, but he's talking about the Democrats impeaching him, and he uses the word all the time. So we have an upside-down situation here where the opposition party is not in the opposition on the most critical factor, which is that we have the most impeachable President in American history, getting worse by the day.Ralph NaderIf the founding fathers came back to life today, would any of them oppose the impeachment, conviction, and removal of office of Donald J. Trump, who talks about being a monarch? That's what they fought King George over. Of course, they would all support it.Ralph NaderWhat we have in these cards and in our stories at the Washington Post here are examples of the ways we know, the ways that scientists have uncovered how plants and animals help us. But we don't know what we don't know. There are likely numerous other ways that plants and animals are protecting human well-being that we don't know and we may very well never know if some of these species go extinct.Dino GrandoniI'm always eager to find these connections between human well-being and the well-being of nature and try to describe them in ways that are compelling to readers that get them to care about protecting nature. And also finding those instances (because I want to be objective here) of when human well-being and the well-being of nature might be in conflict, and that might involve some tough decisions that we as a society or policymakers have to make.Dino GrandoniNews 1/16/25* Our top two stories this week concern corporate wrongdoing. First, Business Insider reports that the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection has released a new report which estimates Uber Eats and DoorDash, by altering their tipping processes in the city – moving tipping prompts to less prominent locations after checkout so upfront delivery costs would appear lower – have deprived gig delivery workers of $550 million since December 2023. As this piece notes, that was the month that New York City's minimum pay law for delivery workers took effect. As a result, “The average tip for delivery workers on the apps dropped 75%...from $3.66 to $0.93, one week after the apps made the changes…The figure has since declined to $0.76 per delivery.” This report presages a new city law that “requires the apps to offer customers the option to tip before or during checkout. Both Uber and DoorDash have sued the City over the law, which is set to take effect on January 26.” Whether the administration will stick to their guns on this issue, in the face of corporate pressure, will be a major early test for Mayor Zohran Mamdani.* Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal reports UnitedHealth Group “deployed aggressive tactics to collect payment-boosting diagnoses for its Medicare Advantage members.” As the Journal explains, “In Medicare Advantage, the federal government pays insurers a lump sum to oversee medical benefits for seniors and disabled people. The government pays extra for patients with certain costly medical conditions, a process called risk adjustment.” A new report from the Senate Judiciary Committee found that UnitedHealth had “turned risk adjustment into a business,” thereby exploiting Medicare Advantage and systematically and fraudulently overbilling the federal government. Due to its structure, advocates like Ralph Nader have long warned that Medicare Advantage is ripe for waste fraud and abuse, in addition to being an inferior program for seniors compared to traditional Medicare. This report supports the accuracy of these warnings. Yet, Dr. Mehmet Oz Trump's appointee to head the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, is a longtime proselytizer for Medicare Advantage and this setback is unlikely to make him reverse course, no matter the cost to patients or taxpayers.* Yet, even as these instances of corporate criminal lawlessness pile up, the Trump administration is all but abolishing the police on the corporate crime beat. In a new report, Rick Claypool, corporate crime research director at Public Citizen, documents how the administration has “canceled or halted a total of 159 enforcement actions against 166 corporations.” This amounts to corporations avoiding payments totaling $3.1 billion in penalties for misconduct. This report further documents how these corporations have ingratiated themselves with Trump, via donations to his inauguration or ballroom project, or more typical revolving door or lobbying arrangements. As Claypool himself puts it, “The ‘law enforcement' claims the White House uses as a pretext for authoritarian anti-immigrant crackdowns, city occupations, and imperial resource seizures abroad lose all credibility when cast against the lawlessness Trump allows for the pursuit of corporate profits.”* In another instance of a Trump administration giveaway to corporations, the New York Times reports the Environmental Protection Agency will “Stop Considering Lives Saved When Setting Rules on Air Pollution.” Under the new regulatory regime, the EPA will “estimate only the costs to businesses of complying with the rules.” The Times explains that different administrations have balanced these competing interests differently, always faced with the morbid dilemma of how much, in a dollar amount, to value human life; but “until now, no administration has counted it as zero.”* Moving to Congress, the big news from the Legislative Branch this week has to do with Bill and Hillary Clinton. NPR reports Congressman James Comer, Chair of the House Oversight Committee, issued subpoenas to the former president and former Secretary of State to testify in a committee hearing related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In a letter published earlier this week, the Clintons formally rejected the subpoenas, calling them “legally invalid.” The Clintons' refusal to appear tees up an opportunity for Congress to exercise its contempt power and force the couple to testify. Democrats on the Oversight Committee, who agreed to issue the subpoenas as part of a larger list, have noted that “most of the other people have not been forced to testify,” indicating that this is a political stunt rather than an earnest effort. That said, there is little doubt that, at least, former President Clinton knows more about the Epstein affair than he has stated publicly thus far and there is a good chance Congress will vote through a contempt resolution and force him to testify.* In the Senate, Elizabeth Warren, Chris Murphy and other liberal Senators are “urging their Democratic colleagues to pivot to economic populism by ‘confronting' corporate power and billionaires, warning that just talking about affordability alone won't move swing voters who backed President Trump in 2024,” per the Hill. Senators Adam Schiff of California and Tina Smith of Minnesota also signed this memo. The Senators cited a recent poll that found Americans “increasingly cannot afford basic goods such as medical care and groceries,” but they also warned that “Bland policy proposals — without a narrative explaining who is getting screwed and who is doing the screwing – will not work.” Hopefully this forceful urging by fellow Senators will move the needle within the Democratic caucus in the upper house. Nothing else seems to have driven the point home.* One candidate who seems to understand this message is Graham Platner of Maine. Platner, who is endorsed by Bernie Sanders, has a controversial past that includes a career in the Marines and a stint working for the private military contractor Blackwater. However, he is running as a staunch economic populist and New Deal style progressive Democrat – and the message appears to be working. According to Zeteo, a poll conducted in mid-December found Platner up by 15 points in the primary over his opponent, current Governor Janet Mills. More concerning is the fact that this same poll shows both Platner and Mills in a dead heat with incumbent Republican Senator Susan Collins, indicating this could be a brutal, protracted and expensive campaign.* On the other end of the spectrum, Axios reported this week that former Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney, who once led the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and then served as President Biden's ambassador to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, has accepted a role as CEO and president of the Coalition for Prediction Markets. The coalition is essentially a trade association for betting websites; members include Kalshi, Crypto.com Robinhood and Coinbase, among others. The coalition will leverage Maloney's influence with Democrats, along with former Republican Congressman Patrick McHenry's influence across the aisle, to lobby for favorable regulation for their industry.* Turning to foreign affairs, prosecutors in South Korea have announced that they are seeking the death penalty for former President Yoon Suk-Yeol on “charges of masterminding an insurrection over his brief imposition of martial law in December 2024,” per Reuters. In a stunning courtroom revelation, a prosecutor said during closing arguments that “investigators confirmed the existence of a scheme allegedly directed by Yoon and his former defence minister, Kim Yong-hyun, dating back to October 2023 designed to keep Yoon in power.” The prosecutor added that “The defendant has not sincerely regretted the crime... or apologised properly to the people.” As this piece notes, South Korea has not carried out a death sentence in nearly three decades. Even still, it is remarkable to see how this case has unfolded compared to the reaction of the American judicial system to Donald Trump's attempted self-coup on January 6th, 2021.* Finally, turning to Latin America, many expected the fall of Nicolás Maduro to mean a redoubled energy crisis for the long-embargoed island nation of Cuba. Yet, the Financial Times reports that in fact, “Mexico overtook Venezuela to become Cuba's top oil supplier in 2025…helping the island weather a sharp drop in Venezuelan crude shipments.” CBS adds that “Despite President Trump's social media pronouncement…that ‘there will be no more oil or money going to Cuba — zero,' the current U.S. policy is to allow Mexico to continue to provide oil to the island, according to Energy Secretary Chris Wright.” For the time being, the administration seems open to maintaining this status quo – including maintaining cordial relations with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum – though this appears more strained than ever. Sheinbaum harshly criticized the kidnapping of Maduro, stating “unilateral action and invasion cannot be the basis for international relations in the 21st century,” while Republican Congressman Carlos Gimenez has threatened that there could be “serious consequences for trade between our countries” if Sheinbaum “continues to undermine US policy by sending oil to the murderous dictatorship in Cuba.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.
