Executive Power and Constitutional Constraints Guest: Professor Richard Epstein Professor Richard Epstein analyzes an executive order creating a five-hundred-person National Guard rapid response force per state for civil disturbances. He argues this improperly expands presidential power, usurping Congress's Article I authority over the militia. Epstein views this as an authoritarian extension of unitary executive theory that violates constitutional federalism. He also notes that pursuing alleged narco-terrorists in Venezuela without a Congressional Authorization for the Use of Military Force is legally tenuous, as drug running constitutes a crime rather than an act of war, making military action constitutionally questionable.

Confira no Morning Show desta sexta-feira (31): Após a megaoperação no Rio de Janeiro que deixou 121 mortos, sete governadores anunciaram a criação do “Consórcio da Paz”, uma aliança para combater o crime organizado e trocar informações de inteligência entre os estados. A reunião ocorreu no Palácio Guanabara, com presença de Cláudio Castro (PL-RJ), Romeu Zema (Novo-MG), Jorginho Mello (PL-SC), Ronaldo Caiado (União Brasil-GO), Eduardo Riedel (Progressistas-MS), Celina Leão (Progressistas-DF) e participação remota de Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos-SP). O Rio de Janeiro será sede inicial do grupo e coordenará o processo de formalização. Reportagem: Rodrigo Viga. O coronel Fernando Príncipe analisou os impactos da ADPF 635, conhecida como “ADPF das Favelas”, após a megaoperação no Rio de Janeiro. Segundo ele, a decisão do STF cria restrições que acabam fortalecendo as facções criminosas, limitando a atuação das forças de segurança nas comunidades. A Polícia Civil desarticulou um verdadeiro “coworking do crime” no Guarujá, litoral de São Paulo. Quatro pessoas foram presas em uma mansão usada por quadrilhas de estelionatários que se passavam por advogados para aplicar golpes milionários. Segundo o Deic, os criminosos acessavam processos judiciais com senhas oficiais e enganavam vítimas com pedidos falsos de pagamentos. A operação também teve desdobramentos na capital, onde mais suspeitos foram presos. Celulares, veículos e equipamentos eletrônicos foram apreendidos. A investigação continua para identificar outros envolvidos no esquema. Reportagem: Danúbia Braga. O Ministério Público de São Paulo investiga como duas camisas da Seleção Brasileira autografadas por Neymar Jr. foram parar na casa de um dos alvos de uma operação contra o esquema de lavagem de dinheiro do PCC. As peças estavam dedicadas a “Filha”, apelido do foragido Sérgio Luiz de Freitas Filho, conhecido como Mijão, um dos principais chefes da facção ainda em liberdade. Segundo o MP, as camisas podem ajudar a rastrear a presença do criminoso no Brasil, já que há indícios de que ele teria voltado da Bolívia. A assessoria de Neymar afirmou que o jogador desconhece o caso e as pessoas envolvidas. O Gaeco avalia se o atleta poderá ser ouvido apenas para esclarecer, se possível, se houve de fato esse encontro. Essas e outras notícias você confere no Morning Show.

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã desta quinta-feira (30): O Ministério Público do Rio de Janeiro (MP-RJ) anunciou que vai abrir uma investigação sobre as circunstâncias das mortes ocorridas durante a operação nos complexos da Penha e do Alemão. Três médicos legistas acompanharão os exames dos corpos no Instituto Médico Legal (IML). Após a grande repercussão da ação policial, o governo federal publicou um vídeo nas redes sociais criticando a megaoperação no combate ao crime organizado. Segundo o material divulgado, “matar 120 pessoas não adianta nada”. A CPI do Crime Organizado será instalada na próxima terça-feira, no Senado Federal. A comissão é uma resposta do Congresso ao avanço das facções criminosas no país, que colocam milhões de brasileiros em meio a uma guerra. O senador Alessandro Vieira (MDB-SE) detalha o que esperar dos trabalhos. O projeto que tipifica o crime organizado como terrorismo avançou na Câmara dos Deputados. O autor da proposta, deputado Danilo Forte (União Brasil-CE), explicou as possíveis consequências da aprovação. O Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE) vai julgar na próxima terça-feira (4) o recurso que pode cassar o mandato do governador do Rio de Janeiro, Cláudio Castro (PL). O caso ganhou novo impulso após a repercussão da megaoperação policial que deixou 120 mortos. O presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) adotou tom cauteloso ao se manifestar sobre a megaoperação no Rio. A mudança ocorre após a repercussão negativa de declarações anteriores em que classificou o traficante como vítima. Assessores recomendaram que o presidente evite comentários diretos sobre o caso. A Polícia Civil cumpre mandados de prisão preventiva e de busca e apreensão contra suspeitos de envolvimento em um esquema de lavagem de dinheiro do tráfico de drogas. Entre os investigados estão integrantes do PCC (Primeiro Comando da Capital), empresários, agiotas, influenciadores e dois dos maiores traficantes do país. No cenário internacional, o presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, afirmou ter fechado um acordo com o presidente da China, Xi Jinping, para reduzir tarifas e manter o fornecimento de terras raras, insumos estratégicos para a indústria tecnológica.

The goal is to create a "Reverse-Waaagh!" effect so powerful it can break the Ork horde by exploding their heads in a massive chain reaction.The second assault on Ullanor is launched, with Koorland and a small strike team teleporting directly into the Beast's throne room. But it's a trap. Koorland comes face-to-face with the Beast, only to learn the horrifying truth: there was never just one Beast. There are six Prime-Orks. Koorland is killed by the true Beast of Beasts, who mockingly takes his title: "I am Slaughter".With hope all but extinguished, Maximus Thane of the Fists Exemplar steps up. He reunites the successor chapters to rebuild the Imperial Fists and plans a final, all-or-nothing assault with the help of Grand Master Vangorich and Fabricator General Kubik. To secure the necessary resources, Vangorich blackmails the remaining High Lords with hidden assassins, forcing them to commit everything to the war effort.This final battle is a gamble on an impossible scale, and a desperate race to detonate the last Ork Psyker bomb in the heart of the Beast's temple.Support the show

In this episode of The Daily Windup, we take a deep dive into how executive power really works in the U.S. government — from executive orders and OMB oversight to how federal procurement priorities shift when a new president takes office. My guest, Dr. Andy Rudalevige, one of the nation's leading scholars on the presidency, breaks down how executive orders shape policy, how OMB quietly influences every dollar that gets spent, and why civil service stability matters more than ever. We explore the tension between presidential control and congressional authority, the ripple effects of personnel cuts across agencies, and what America can learn from European models of governance. Andy also reminds us why optimism for democracy still matters — because despite division at the top, most Americans still agree more than they realize. Key Takeaways: Executive orders aren't laws — they guide the executive branch but can't override Congress, though they profoundly shape how contracts and spending unfold. OMB (Office of Management and Budget) wields enormous influence, managing budgets, regulations, and procurement policy — the real "engine room" of federal power. Civil service expertise is eroding, risking continuity and competence, but public trust in democratic ideals remains a source of resilience for America's future.

Una vez más tenemos el gusto de recibir a la académica Teresa López Pellisa con una cápsula sobre la escritora peruana Rosa Arciniega. Una mujer que rompió las barreras y los estereotipos de la época, radicó en España por mucho tiempo. La reflexión es sobre la propuesta distópica que hace esta brillante escritora y visibilizar la obra de una autora injustamente olvidada y una figura muy relevante a principios del siglo XX en España y Latinoamérica, autora de 6 novelas, una novela radiofónica, feminista, aviadora, etc. Además, es autora de una distopía muy singular publicada en 1933. Fue piloto en la Escuela de Aviación Civil en Valencia, colaboró en el diario republicano El pueblo y en otras más como El Tiempo de Bogotá, El Diario La Prensa de Nueva York y La Prensa de San Antonio, Texas. En 1932 salió su libro Mosko-Strom que reivindica la importancia de los valores humanistas frente al desarrollo económico, la técnica y las transformaciones sociales de la modernidad. 

Confira no Morning Show desta quarta-feira (29): Moradores do Complexo da Penha, na Zona Norte do Rio de Janeiro, levaram cerca de 60 corpos a uma praça da comunidade, um dia após a Operação Contenção, a mais letal da história da cidade. As vítimas foram encontradas em uma área de mata no alto do morro, onde ocorreram os confrontos mais intensos entre policiais e criminosos. Segundo a Polícia Civil, os corpos foram encaminhados ao IML, e a perícia vai confirmar se há relação direta com os embates da operação, que já contabiliza mais de 130 mortos e gerou forte repercussão nacional. Após a megaoperação nos Complexos do Alemão e da Penha, o governo do presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) deve se reunir com o governador do Rio de Janeiro, Cláudio Castro (PL), para discutir a escalada da violência no estado. Participam da comitiva os ministros Ricardo Lewandowski (Justiça e Segurança Pública), Rui Costa (Casa Civil) e o diretor-executivo da Polícia Federal, William Marcel Murad. O encontro deve tratar da atuação integrada das forças de segurança estaduais e federais após a operação. Com a aposentadoria de Luís Roberto Barroso, o ministro Alexandre de Moraes assumiu interinamente a relatoria da ADPF das Favelas, que trata da atuação policial nas comunidades do Rio de Janeiro. Moraes determinou que a Procuradoria-Geral da República (PGR) se manifeste sobre a operação que deixou mais de 130 mortos nos complexos da Penha e do Alemão. O sociólogo Eduardo Matos de Alencar, especialista em políticas públicas e segurança, analisou no programa as razões que levaram ao fracasso das UPPs (Unidades de Polícia Pacificadora) no Rio de Janeiro. Criadas para retomar territórios dominados pelo tráfico e promover integração social, as UPPs acabaram apresentando resultados contrários ao esperado, com aumento da violência e perda de credibilidade junto à população.

A Corte Especial do Superior Tribunal de Justiça reforçou entendimento de que o artigo 406 do Código Civil de 2002, antes da Lei 14.905/2024, deve ser interpretado no sentido de aplicar a taxa Selic como juros de mora nas dívidas civis.O relator, ministro Ricardo Villas Bôas Cueva, explicou que esse entendimento já foi definido pelo colegiado em julgamento anterior, em que prevaleceu o voto do ministro Raul Araújo, favorável ao uso da Selic para juros moratórios e correção monetária.Com o novo julgamento, agora, realizado sob o rito dos recursos repetitivos, Tema 1.368, a tese ganha efeito vinculante. Isso quer dizer que a decisão vai orientar os demais tribunais do país, quando julgarem casos semelhantes. Cueva destacou que a Corte Especial, a Primeira e Segunda Seções e as respectivas turmas já aplicavam esse entendimento. A decisão consolida posição pacífica do STJ, já reconhecida pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal e garante segurança jurídica e uniformidade nas decisões.O relator, ministro Ricardo Villas Bôas Cueva, ressaltou que a Selic é a única taxa vigente para mora em tributos federais e possui status constitucional desde a Emenda Constitucional 113.Cueva lembrou que o voto do ministro Raul Araújo no precedente anterior destacou que o artigo 161, §1º, do Código Tributário Nacional, prevê juros de 1% ao mês e aplica-se apenas de forma subsidiária, quando não há norma específica.De acordo com o ministro Villas Bôas Cueva, a jurisprudência reforça que, existindo previsão legal para a Selic, ela deve prevalecer. Ele ressaltou que com a Lei 14.905/2024, o legislador positivou essa interpretação, encerrando controvérsias sobre o tema. Assim, a Selic passa a ser a taxa referencial para juros e correção quando nenhuma outra for convencionada, garantindo coerência ao sistema normativo.

Welcome to this explosive, investigative, fact-finding edition of Light ‘Em Up!We are incredibly pleased you decided to join us for one of our most comprehensive episodes to date!Tonight, we shine the antiseptic light of the truth at the intersection of hate speech and the violence that stems from it.While a great many people on the right strongly disagree with the truth, and struggle to accept it, the fact that the radical right is far more violent than the left is unwavering. Far-right attacks continue to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism.As a kid do you remember expressing the children's rhyme that says, “Sticks and stones can break your bones, but names can never hurt you?” While this is a nice thought — it isn‘t true. Words matter; words can hurt — words can lead to murder.In the Holy Bible, the Book of Ephesians (4:29) advises: “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, which may benefit those who listen.” We need only look to the country of Rwanda in 1994 and the genocide that took place there. Collectively and pejoratively, the Tutsis were referred to as “cockroaches”.  Who acts neighborly or welcomes a cockroach into their home? Some 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed in 100 days. (The Tutsi and Hutu are ethnic groups established primarily in Rwanda and Burundi.)Evidence shows that the use of radio impacted and effected mobilization for violence in the Rwandan genocide.For more than a decade we've been exposed to the hate filled vitriol of Donald Trump. The words he willingly and intentionally chooses are often filled with hate.It is evident from his outward behavior; Donald Trump is not happy.  Barack Obama haunts him in thought, word, and past deed.Trump regularly refers to anyone who isn't in his “in-group” as “the enemy of the people” … “animals” and “scum”, you name it.His targets have been the press as a whole and individual journalists, immigrants, Blacks, LGBTQ+ people, Democrats, and whomever he chooses in the moment.His third-grade vocabulary has no filter. His political party does nothing to hold him to account for his vile, hate-filled rhetoric, even opting to echo and use it often.Rarely does he open his mouth without denigrating, dehumanizing, blaming, or accusing another person of doing something with no evidence.In this explosive episode we will highlight:—    As a case study we'll examine how hate speech can and does facilitate violence. From the genocide that took place in 1994 in Rwanda we offer a special feature in hearing from Henriette Mutegwaraba, survivor of the genocide and founder of the Million Lives Genocide relief fund.—    Multiple examples of the vile, hateful, and demagogic language that Donald Trump spews with regularity and comparing and contrasting his words with that of the Rwandan genocide.And much, much more!“The enemy of the people” are words Adolph Hitler used to describe the Jews before his “final solution” was put into effect which killed some 6 million people.This is the language of insecure, fascist, racist, dictatorial demagogues, and it is extremely dangerous.In his book entitled Behemoth, first published in 1942, Franz Neumann wrote that violence served to establish totalitarian control over German society.Violence throughout the Third Reich was used as a rational instrument of political power.Donald Trump's administration does the same.Democracy is dying right in front of us.Don't move a muscle!Tune out the world and tune-in to Light ‘Em Up — Right here and right now!Tune in and follow our sponsors Newsly and We want to hear from you!

While each period is historically unique, veterans and scholars of the civil rights movement say there are some important similarities between the era of Jim Crow and racial segregation and our current moment. One similarity, as author and professor Joshua Clark Davis notes, is the role that local law enforcement plays in enforcing regimes of racial oppression and attacking the movements opposed to them. But, as civil rights Icon Judy Richardson argues, there are also critical similarities when it comes to organizing and executing successful resistance efforts then and now. In this extended episode of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with Richardson and Davis about the hardwon lessons from the civil rights movement that must be applied to the growing anti-authoritarianism movement today. Guests:Judy Richardson is an American documentary filmmaker and civil rights activist. She was an early participant in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) from 1963 to 1966 and was mentored by Ella Baker. Richardson was the educational director for the PBS docuseries Eyes on the Prize, widely recognized as the most important documentary ever produced on the Civil Rights movement, and she co-edited the book Hands on the Freedom Plow: Personal Accounts By Women in SNCC. She was a distinguished visiting lecturer of Africana Studies at Brown University.Joshua Clark Davis is associate professor of US history at the University of Baltimore. He's the author of multiple books, including Police Against The Movement: The Sabotage of the Civil Rights Struggle and the Activists Who Fought Back, a retelling of the civil rights movement through its overlooked work against police violence—and the police who attacked the movement with surveillance, undercover agents, and retaliatory prosecutions.Additional resources:Joshua Clark Davis, Princeton University Press, Police Against the Movement: The Sabotage of the Civil Rights Struggle and the Activists Who Fought BackJudy Richardson, “SNCC changed me forever”Credits:Producer: Rosette SewaliStudio Production: Cameron GranadinoAudio Post-Production: Stephen FrankFollow The Marc Steiner Show on Spotify Follow The Marc Steiner Show on Apple PodcastsHelp us continue producing The Marc Steiner Show by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterFollow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

Deutsche Bank requested that a U.S. federal court dismiss a class-action lawsuit filed by an accuser of Epstein, arguing that the bank neither participated in nor benefited from Epstein's sex-trafficking operation and therefore is not legally responsible in the way the complaint alleges. The bank asserted that it merely provided “routine banking services” to Epstein from 2013 to 2018, and that the plaintiff failed to allege sufficient facts under the federal anti-trafficking statute (Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act) or establish any direct duty by the bank to protect the victim.In addition, Deutsche Bank argued that the plaintiff's claims under New York's Adult Survivors Act (which temporarily allowed claims even after statute-of-limitations expiration) were legally deficient because the bank did not cause the abuse or engage in the trafficking itself. The bank contended that even acknowledging Epstein's misconduct, the claims improperly targeted the “wrong party.” While the court later dismissed several of the claims brought against Deutsche Bank, it allowed several others to proceed, meaning the motion to dismiss was only partly successful.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Her experiences in SNCC continue to ground both her film and education work. She most recently produced the Frederick Douglass visitor center film for the National Park Service's site at Cedar Hill in Washington, DC.  She is currently working on 4 museum films, including those for the civil rights museums in Memphis and Atlanta. In 1968, she was a co-founder of Drum & Spear Bookstore, once the country's largest African-American Bookstore. She was on the production team for all 14 hours of the seminal PBS series Eyes on the Prize as its series associate producer, then its education director.

She co-edited Hands on the Freedom Plow: Personal Accounts by Women in SNCC, a compilation of the testimonies of 53 SNCC women. She co-directed two NEH teacher institutes, co-hosted by Duke University and focused on “Teaching Grassroots Movements in the South (1940-1985).” She is a member of the SNCC Legacy Project board, was a Visiting Professor at Brown University, and has an honorary doctorate from Swarthmore College.  Joshua Clark Davis is associate professor of US history at the University of Baltimore.

This Day in Legal History: PATRIOT Act IntroducedOn October 23, 2001, just six weeks after the September 11 terrorist attacks, the United States House of Representatives introduced H.R. 3162, the bill that would become the USA PATRIOT Act. Officially titled the “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act,” the legislation represented one of the most significant expansions of domestic surveillance and law enforcement powers in modern U.S. history. The bill was drafted rapidly, largely by the Department of Justice under Attorney General John Ashcroft, and was introduced with bipartisan support.Key provisions of the act included expanded authority for wiretaps, the ability to access business and personal records through National Security Letters, and increased surveillance of internet and email communications. Section 215, in particular, allowed the government to obtain “any tangible things” relevant to a terrorism investigation, a phrase later scrutinized for its vagueness. Civil liberties organizations quickly raised concerns about the law's impact on privacy, due process, and the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches.Despite these objections, the bill moved swiftly through Congress. The House passed it on October 24, and the Senate followed on October 25. President George W. Bush signed it into law on October 26, 2001. In the years that followed, the PATRIOT Act would become a focal point in debates over national security versus individual rights, particularly as revelations of mass surveillance by the NSA surfaced in the 2010s.Some provisions were later challenged in court, amended by Congress, or allowed to expire. Nevertheless, the PATRIOT Act reshaped the legal framework for counterterrorism in the U.S., leaving a legacy still felt in debates over surveillance, transparency, and executive power today.Several major lobbying firms in Washington, D.C., posted record or near-record revenues in the third quarter of 2025, driven by policy shifts under President Donald Trump and rising client demand for regulatory guidance. Ballard Partners led the surge, reporting a 400% year-over-year increase and nearly $25 million in lobbying revenue. Other top performers included BGR Group ($19.1 million), Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck ($18.9 million), Holland & Knight ($13.9 million), and Hogan Lovells ($4.4 million), each claiming their best quarter yet.The increase in lobbying activity was largely fueled by the Trump administration's aggressive moves on tariffs, trade, and the implementation of a sweeping tax-and-spending bill signed in July. Lobbyists noted that even during the early October government shutdown, regulatory deadlines such as public comment periods on tariffs kept work moving. Akin Gump reported $16.3 million, its best third quarter ever, and K&L Gates earned $5.4 million.Overall lobbying expenditures have continued to climb, with companies spending over $2.53 billion by late July 2025. Industries like pharmaceuticals, health products, and tech accounted for a significant share of that spending, reflecting ongoing regulatory and legislative uncertainty.Lobbying firms record 3rd quarter gains amid Trump policy shifts | ReutersPaul Ingrassia, nominated by President Donald Trump to lead the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, withdrew from consideration after losing Republican support in the Senate. He announced his withdrawal ahead of a scheduled confirmation hearing, citing an insufficient number of GOP votes. The Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee had already postponed a prior hearing in August amid growing concerns.Senate Republicans distanced themselves from Ingrassia after Politico published alleged chat messages from him. His connections to controversial figures — including his legal work for Andrew Tate and attendance at a rally for White nationalist Nick Fuentes — drew additional scrutiny. Senator Thom Tillis labeled him “unfit to serve,” and Majority Leader John Thune confirmed the nomination was unlikely to move forward.The Office of Special Counsel plays a crucial role in enforcing civil service protections, particularly amid Trump's push to reshape the federal workforce. It also oversees Hatch Act compliance, which limits political activity by federal employees. With the Merit Systems Protection Board now restored, a new nominee will be needed to confront upcoming legal battles over career employee protections.Trump's Special Counsel Nominee Withdraws After GOP BlowbackIn Delaware court, tensions escalated between bidders and creditors over who should win control of Citgo Petroleum's parent company, PDV Holding, as part of a court-ordered auction aimed at compensating creditors tied to Venezuela's defaults and expropriations. The case, which has dragged on for eight years, now faces a decisive moment after three bidding rounds.A $5.9 billion offer from Amber Energy, affiliated with Elliott Investment Management, has been recommended by the court-appointed auction officer. However, Citgo's legal team and Venezuelan representatives argue the offer is too low, especially compared to a $7.9 billion bid from a Gold Reserve subsidiary. They also allege flaws in the auction process itself.Amber's bid includes a key side deal to pay $2.1 billion to holders of a disputed Venezuelan bond, making timing crucial since the agreement expires in early December. Gold Reserve, on the other hand, seeks to distribute more of the proceeds among a wider group of creditors, raising concerns over whether bondholders should benefit at all given unresolved legal questions about the bond's validity.Judge Leonard Stark also heard motions from Venezuela and Gold Reserve to disqualify him, court officer Robert Pincus, and two advisory firms over alleged conflicts of interest. The U.S. Treasury Department's approval is still required to finalize the auction, and both the Maduro government and Venezuela's opposition oppose the sale.Bidders, creditors battle in US court over who should win Citgo auction | Reuters This is a public episode.

4. Saddam's Trial and Maliki's Revenge Abdullahad saw Saddam twice—as powerful youth icon then frail defendant in a trial that became "parody of justice," allowing Saddam to re-dignify himself in Arab consciousness. After December 2006 execution, Saddam's body went to Maliki's house, revealing "petty sectarian mentality." Civil war ended with Sunni defeat, former resistance figures like Hamid who opposed Al-Qaeda disappeared, and hundreds of thousands of educated Iraqis fled.
