Baada ya shinikizo kutoka kwa Marekani, waasi wa M23/AFC waliondoka kwenye mji wa Uvira, Mashariki mwa Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo. Hata hivyo, rais Felix Tshisekedi ameelezea kitendo hicho kama kiini macho kwa jumuiya ya Kimataifa, kauli ambayo imeungwa na mkono na jeshi la FARDC wanaosema, waasi hao wamejificha katika milima inayopatikana na mji huo. Kuchambua kinachoendelea, tunaungana  Mali Ali akiwa  jijini Paris na François Alwende akiwa jijini Nairobi.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is a country in central Africa the size of Western Europe and rich in arable land and minerals, including those critical to the military industrial complex, such as cobalt and coltan. Since the CIA-backed assassination of Patrice Lumumba in 1961, the DRC has been ruled by puppets who answer to the United States and its allies. 2025 has been a devastating year for the DRC. Clearing the FOG speaks with Maurice Carney, the executive director of Friends of the Congo, about the occupation by Rwandan forces, mass displacement of millions of people, and the recent 'peace agreements' that rob the DRC of its riches and sovereignty. He discusses this in the context of Kwame Nkrumah's work, "Neo-colonialism: The last stage of imperialism." For more information, visit PopularResistance.org.

Excerpt of a lecture for patrons only for 1 year: We explore the tumultuous history of Central Africa, embracing the enormous Congo rainforest, the great rift valleys, the Indian Ocean coast, and the gold fields of the Zambezi basin, as formidable kingdoms—Kongo, the Swahili cities, and the mysterious Great Zimbabwe—emerged in the tropical landscape, adapted to the traumatic incursion of the Portuguese, and eventually struck back against European power, through diplomatic schemes, military struggles, and religious awakenings. This same region of the world produced some of the most remarkable and towering figures in African or world history, such as King Afonso I and Queen Nzingha, as well as many of the first captives to be taken to the New World, including the “twenty-and-odd negroes” that were famously landed at Point Comfort, Virginia, in 1619.

Gabriel Mwénè Okoundji est considéré comme l'une des grandes voix de la poésie africaine francophone contemporaine. Le nom est l'autre visage des êtres, écrit Gabriel Mwéné Okoundji. «Okoundji» en langue bantoue, cela veut dire chef et «Mwéné» porteur de la spiritualité du peuple. Son deuxième nom, «Mwéné», il l'a hérité à la mort de son père, à ses neuf ans. Un nom qui a marqué sa vie, son enfance et probablement une destinée de poète !  La poésie permet à l'homme de faire confiance en sa fragilité Gabriel Mwéné Okoundji est né en 1962 dans le petit village de Okondo en République du Congo, village qui a fait naître en lui «toute la sensibilité qu'il porte». Adolescent, il rejoint Brazzaville pour aller au lycée. Puis, il part à Bordeaux, en France, pour suivre des études de médecine. Il y vit désormais depuis près de 40 ans. Parallèlement, il écrit beaucoup de poésie pour porter la parole de l'écriture.  Il se décrit comme un «enfant de la négritude» mais se sent aussi comme un descendant de troubadour.  L'écriture pour moi vient parfois par effraction, d'une rencontre, d'un mot, d'une lecture, d'un chant. Mais cette rencontre peut aussi venir en langue tékée comme elle peut venir en langue française. Ce sont ces deux langues qui me nourrissent. Quand l'une donne, l'autre reçoit, quand l'une reçoit, l'autre invoque, l'autre évoque. Ce sont mes deux langues maternelles. Parfois, je ne trouve pas de mot équivalent en français alors, je le laisse en langue tékée.  Gabriel Okoundji  Invité : Gabriel Mwéné Okoundji, psychologue de métier et poète franco-congolais. Son recueil L'âme blessée d'un éléphant noir, suivi de Stèles du point du jour, est à retrouver dans la collection Poésie aux éditions Gallimard.  Programmation musicale : L'artiste Ours avec le titre Le spleen d'une vie sublime.

We're looking back at 10 of the episodes that defined 2025 at The Take. This originally aired on January 30. None of the dates or references have been changed. Bodies are lining the streets of Goma and hospitals are overwhelmed after an escalation in the long-simmering conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Rwandan-backed M23 group claims it took control of the city, and the DRC has called it a declaration of war by Rwanda. But why is Rwanda involved and what are its interests?

Avant de parler de la Coupe d'Afrique des nations, les journaux s'intéressent aussi au renouvellement du mandat de la Monusco. Ce week-end, les Nations unies ont renouvelé, pour un an, le mandat de leur mission en République démocratique du Congo. Et ce alors même que « la mission onusienne avait amorcé un processus de désengagement, notamment au Sud-Kivu, après plus de deux décennies de présence sur le sol congolais », rappelle Le Potentiel en RDC. Mais le contexte sécuritaire aura eu raison de cette volonté : la situation est « particulièrement préoccupant[e] », rappelle actualite.cd, en raison des affrontements dans l'est du pays. « La rébellion de l'AFC/M23, soutenue par le Rwanda, occupe de vastes zones dans les territoires de Rutshuru, Nyiragongo, Masisi, Lubero et Walikale », pointe ainsi le titre. Conclusion : une « aggravation » des crises humanitaire et sécuritaire.  Mais après plus de 20 ans de mandats successifs, le média burkinabè Le Pays s'interroge : « Que peut-on encore attendre de cette mission onusienne ? (…) À quoi servira ce renouvellement de mandat ? » Le quotidien est circonspect, même s'il admet que ce n'est pas entièrement la faute de la Monusco. Celle-ci aurait bien besoin, pour agir, « d'un mandat robuste, comme ce fut le cas en 2013 », ce qui lui avait à l'époque permis « de mettre le M23 en déroute », se remémore Le Pays. Tout de même, le journal accorde au moins un mérite à la Monusco : celui de pouvoir être « une force tampon » et d'être « mise à contribution dans le cadre de la sécurisation des populations ».  Le Maroc et la CAN en étendard  Les journaux marocains ne sont pas peu fiers que leur pays héberge la compétition. Ainsi de L'Opinion, qui s'enorgueillit que « le nom du Maroc [soit] devenu un véritable label d'excellence dans le monde très concurrentiel du football ». Le 360 se gargarise de la même manière de cette « organisation grandiose » et de « la ferveur déjà palpable dans chaque ville, chaque rue, chaque café ». Accueillir la compétition est autant une preuve des mérites du Maroc qu'une occasion d'éblouir encore un peu plus le monde entier, « une opportunité majeure, de doper davantage ce soft power en présentant (…) au monde entier notre meilleur visage », poursuit l'Opinion. H24 Info ne s'y trompe pas non plus : sur le terrain comme ailleurs, le pays « n'a pas le droit à l'erreur » ; le sélectionneur Walid Regragui fait face à « une énorme pression » tandis que le président de la Fédération royale marocaine de football « doit rendre une copie parfaite du point de vue de l'organisation ». Le Royaume a donc mis les petits plats dans les grands. Le Monde Afrique parle même de « moyens hors norme ». Quitte parfois à s'attirer les foudres de la société civile. Car le dispositif impliquant « surveillance avec drones, caméras avec systèmes de reconnaissance faciale, commissariats à l'intérieur des enceintes sportives » est regardé d'un mauvais œil, quelques semaines après le mouvement Gen Z 212 qui a vu des dizaines de milliers de jeunes manifester pour réclamer un meilleur accès aux soins ou au logement. Une vitrine au-delà de la CAN  Dans quatre ans, le royaume chérifien remet le couvert avec cette fois la Coupe du monde, co-organisée avec l'Espagne et le Portugal. Ce qui fait du Maroc, rappelle H24 Info, le « deuxième pays africain à accueillir une Coupe du monde, 20 ans après l'Afrique du Sud ». La Coupe d'Afrique des nations a donc des airs de « répétition générale », pour faire du pays « une vitrine internationale », abonde L'Économiste. C'est d'ailleurs pour cela, rappelle Le Monde Afrique, que Rabat a investi l'équivalent de près de deux milliards d'euros dans « ses infrastructures hôtelières, aéroportuaires, routières et sportives » et dans la rénovation de ses stades. Puis il est aussi question, bien sûr, de soft power. Ici, le ballon rond est surtout un prétexte pour « renforcer l'influence économique et diplomatique du royaume sur la scène internationale, et pas seulement en Afrique ». Dans cette perspective, chaque Marocain est rien de moins qu'un « ambassadeur de son pays », estime L'Opinion. Pour reprendre les mots de Walid Regragui : « remporter la CAN n'est pas un choix », c'est « une obligation ». 

Ander Iturralde da la bienvenida a Rafa Pastrana, José Pérez y Santi Bauzá para analizar toda la acción de la última jornada pre-Navidad de la Premier League 2025-2026...Comenzando por el triunfo del Liverpool sobre el Tottenham en un desprósito de partido en el que acabaron expulsados unos, goles marcados por Ekitike e Isak y este último también lesionado; mientras que encantados terminamos con el espectáculo que nos dieron Newcastle y Chelsea en el que fue con casi total seguridad el mejor partido de la jornada; en la cual el Leeds sumó contra el Crystal Palace otra victoria de postín y relumbrón para completar una pequeña racha de ensueño; mientras que liderando la Premier League en búsqueda del sueño de ganarla continúa el Arsenal tras ganar al Everton; pero no pierde detrás de ellos ni un poquito de comba el Manchester City tras derrotar duramente al West Ham; no con la misma dureza pero sí con la misma inevitabilidad sigue y sigue ganando el Aston Villa, esta vez al Manchester United, para mantenerse aferrado a la lucha por el título; mientras que aferrados el uno al otro permanecieron, con el mismo marcador de principio a fin, Brighton y Sunderland; como también empataron Bournemouth y Burnley; pero ni empates ni victorias, sólo derrotas sigue sumando el Wolverhampton ahora tras perder con el Brentford; también, todo lo mejor de Championship en nuestra sección de variedades; la alineación indebida que denuncia Nigeria en la República Democrática del Congo; el comienzo de la Copa África y mucho más.Apoya a que Alineación Indebida pueda prosperar, accede a todo nuestro contenido premium y a nuestro server de Discord suscribiéndote por tan sólo 1.00$/1.00€ en: https://www.patreon.com/posts/146407371Además...

Les Nations Unies ont prolongé d'un an le mandat de leur force de maintien de la paix en République démocratique du Congo. Connue sous son acronyme MONUSCO, la mission de maintien de la paix de l'ONU jouera un rôle dans la surveillance d'un cessez-le-feu avec les rebelles du M23 dans l'est du pays.

What is a call? How does a person know if God is calling them to mission service? Join in a discussion as these and other questions are addressed.

The UN Security Council has condemned an offensive by the M23 group in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. It also renewed the mandate for UN peacekeepers in the country.

This episode was recorded for my UK Column show.Jeremy Kuzmarov—author, historian and managing editor of CovertAction Magazine—argues that the Rwandan genocide is a myth, suggesting instead that it was a civil war influenced by foreign interests, including the CIA, MI6, and Mossad, as well as various governments.He points out that the Tutsi-led Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) was backed by the US and UK to gain control over the Congo's mineral wealth.Plus, Jeremy challenges the mainstream portrayal of the conflict (such as Hotel Rwanda), asserting that both Hutu and Tutsi committed atrocities, and criticises the Western media for perpetuating a simplified narrative that ignores the truth.CovertAction website: https://covertactionmagazine.com➡️ Jerm Warfare website: https://www.jermwarfare.com

In this episode of Hold Your Fire!, Richard Atwood speaks with Richard Moncrieff about the Rwanda-backed M23's advance into Uvira in eastern DR Congo and where the war and the diplomacy to end it might be headed. They discuss what's driving the group's latest offensive, what governance looks like in M23-held areas, its reliance on Rwanda, and its ambitions through its political arm, the Congo River Alliance (or AFC). They then examine President Félix Tshisekedi's resilience despite battlefield setbacks, Burundi's deepening involvement, and rising tensions with Rwanda. Finally, they unpack the mediation tracks led by Qatar and the U.S., President Donald Trump's dealmaking, the value of its business elements and prospects for reaching at least a durable ceasefire.

Our final episode of the year invites listeners into the life and legacy of U Thant, the longest‑serving Secretary‑General of the United Nations and a quiet architect of peace during some of the most dangerous moments of the Cold War. Drawing on the perspective of historian Thant Myint‑U, his grandson, the conversation revisits U Thant's role in crises such as the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Congo, showing how his calm, principled diplomacy helped steer the world away from catastrophe. Grounded in Buddhist ethics and a deep belief in multilateral cooperation, U Thant's leadership connected decolonization, social justice, and environmental concern long before these agendas were widely recognized on the global stage. Through archival stories and family memories, the episode explores how his example can inform efforts today to organize peace and renew trust in international institutions, as we reimagine the UN's potential in a fractured world.

Aujourd'hui, je vous présente Charlotte, photographe et maman de deux grands garçons. C'est son fils Tom, 25 ans, qui lui a proposé ce voyage un peu fou : six mois de road trip de Paris jusqu'au Cap en Afrique du Sud, un projet qu'il a imaginé et organisé du début à la fin.Ils ont traversé l'Europe et l'Afrique, pays après pays : Espagne, Maroc, Mauritanie, Sénégal, Guinée, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Bénin, Nigeria, Cameroun, Congo, Angola, Namibie… jusqu'à l'Afrique du Sud .Un récit de voyage marqué par des nuits sous la tente, des rencontres spontanées, un passage de frontière tendu à cause d'un drone, et cette scène digne d'un western quand deux silhouettes se sont approchées d'eux au Maroc pour leur dire qu'ils ne pouvaient pas camper là .Ce voyage en famille a resserré leur lien, six mois côte à côte, souvent à l'aventure, parfois dans l'inconnu.Si l'idée de suivre une route qui change tout vous parle, vous serez sûrement curieux d'entendre leur histoire.-----------Si l'épisode vous a plu, laissez-moi une note 5 ⭐️ou un commentaire sur Apple Podcasts ou Spotify

En Centrafrique, un simple bac est devenu, au fil des décennies, bien plus qu'un moyen de traverser la rivière Lobaye. Depuis 1965, la liaison entre Mongoumba, en Centrafrique, et Betou, en RDC, relie chaque jour deux villes frontalières… et deux peuples. Camions de marchandises, véhicules, motos, passagers : tous empruntent cette traversée qui fait circuler produits, services et espoirs entre les deux pays. Malgré son ancienneté et des moyens modestes, ce bac reste un symbole vivant pour la région. Une activité tenue par les jeunes de la localité qui en ont fait à la fois une source de revenus et un véritable vecteur du désenclavement.  De notre correspondant de retour de Mongoumba, À l'aube, lorsque la brume flotte encore au-dessus de la Lobaye, les premiers voyageurs apparaissent sur la rive, silhouettes tranquilles dans la lumière naissante. Ici, pour la traverser, on emprunte le bac : une plateforme en bois et en métal, portée par la force du courant, guidée par des conducteurs comme Sylvestre : « Ce bac c'est toute ma vie. Un métier simple et essentiel. Je transporte des véhicules, des camions et des cargaisons entières. Certains traversent pour aller faire du commerce, d'autres rejoignent leur famille, il y a également ceux qui partent au travail. » Le vacarme du moteur se mêle aux conversations. Femmes, hommes et enfants montent les uns après les autres. Chacun avec sa raison de traverser la rivière, mais le passage est le même pour tous. Bernice est une agricultrice. « Ce bac est comme un vieil ami pour moi. Sans lui, je ne suis rien. Mon champ se trouve de l'autre côté, et le bac est le seul moyen pour m'y rendre. Je monte toujours à bord avec mes paniers. Durant la récolte, c'est grâce à ce bac que j'achemine tous mes produits vers les grandes villes et les marchés. » Cohésion entre les habitants Lorsque le bac s'éloigne de la rive, un silence particulier s'installe. Tout le monde regarde l'eau. L'ombre des arbres se reflète sur la surface fluide. La dépendance à ce bac préoccupe Léopold Kossolo, le chef du village de Bac-Lobé-Yapo. « Ce bac est pratiquement le seul dans la région. S'il tombe en panne, toutes les villes alentour se retrouveront isolées les unes des autres. Ce bac renforce la cohésion entre les habitants, il nous rapproche. Bien sûr, il existe des pirogues, mais leurs capacités sont limitées. Il serait plus simple d'installer deux bacs ici et pourquoi pas de construire un pont sur la rivière. » Soudain, l'autre bord apparaît. Les premiers enfants accourent, et l'agitation reprend. Les passagers débarquent, chacun reprenant sa route, laissant derrière eux la courte traversée qui, pourtant, rythme le quotidien de toute une région. « Le bac a plus de 40 ans. Tout le monde sait que la rivière Lobaye est très profonde. Pour éviter tout drame ou naufrage, il est nécessaire de procéder à sa réhabilitation complète et, si possible, d'installer des équipements de sauvetage en cas d'accident. Chaque jour, des centaines de personnes font des allers-retours à cet endroit », explique Léopold Kossolo. La construction d'un pont sur la rivière Lobaye est en cours. Elle s'inscrit dans le cadre du projet du corridor 13, un programme de construction routière reliant la République du Congo, la RCA et le Tchad, financé par la Banque africaine de développement (BAD).

Au sommaire cette semaine : la guerre en Ukraine et les négociations qui se poursuivent autour du "plan de paix" américain remanié, dans un contexte de pression maximale de Donald Trump. Le président américain fait, par ailleurs, à nouveau monter les tensions avec le Venezuela, après la saisie d'un pétrolier au large du pays. Enfin, retour sur la nouvelle percée de l'AFC/M23 en République Démocratique du Congo. Le groupe contrôlerait Uvira, deuxième plus grande ville du Sud-Kivu. Cette nouvelle conquête intervient quelques jours à peine après l'annonce par Washington d'un accord de paix entre les présidents congolais et rwandais.

For decades, warnings about the destruction of the Amazon and Congo rainforests have grown louder, even as meaningful action has lagged behind. International summits and political declarations continue, but the forests edge closer to dangerous tipping points. In this episode, we ask whether a different approach is needed. Dr. Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka, Dr. Fernando Trujillo, and Sam Muller bring perspectives shaped by hands-on experience in conservation, science, justice, and governance. Together, they argue that protecting the world's great rainforests is not only an environmental challenge, but also one of equity, economic development, and power—and that lasting solutions are more likely to emerge from the ground up than from global pledges alone.

Rwanda-backed M23 rebel group says it will retreat from the captured town of Uvira in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Rebel leader Corneille Nangaa says his fighters will withdraw from Uvira at the request of the US. Earlier, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had said the capture of Uvira by rebel forces violated the Rwanda-DR Congo peace deal signed in Washington on 4th December.

Episode 155: Part 2 Harry van der Zee: Homeopathy, Africa & the Power of Human Transformation In this week's episode of The Homeopathy Health Show, Atiq and Naila sit down with the remarkable Harry van der Zee to explore a life devoted to healing, service, and global impact. Harry shares his extraordinary journey into homeopathy, guided by a series of profound dreams that led him from conventional medicine to the deeper, human-centred world of homeopathic practice. Together, we reflect on the moments that shaped our own paths, and the shared belief that homeopathy is more than a profession… it is a calling. We delve into Harry's ground-breaking work in Africa, where the PC1 remedy created by Peter Chappell has transformed the lives of HIV/AIDS patients, offering hope in situations where conventional treatment was inaccessible or ineffective. Harry recounts astonishing recoveries that changed the course of his life's work, and the development of Chappell's 36-remedy kit now used by over 1,000 trained volunteers across the continent. The conversation expands into the extraordinary success of malaria prevention efforts in sub-Saharan Africa. From orphan schools in Congo to entire communities, Harry describes how absenteeism dropped from 25% to 2%, and how their programme now reaches more than one million children, offering one of the highest social returns in global health. We explore the intersections of birth experiences, miasmatic theory, emotional development, and the subtle but profound way early imprints shape us throughout life. Harry shares insights on birth dynamics, nostalgia in tubercular states, the syphilitic process at birth, and even the deep psychological echoes of a missing twin. This episode is a sweeping journey, across continents, through philosophy, and into the heart of what homeopathy can achieve when guided by compassion, clarity, and courage. A powerful conversation not to be missed.

Ce mercredi soir, l'AFC/M23 a affirmé avoir entamé son retrait d'Uvira, dans l'est de la République démocratique du Congo. Cependant, pour le moment, les États-Unis estiment qu'il n'existe aucune "preuve crédible" de ce retrait. Par ailleurs, Washington accentue la pression sur Kigali pour qu'il cesse de soutenir le M23. "Le Rwanda est toujours en contact avec le médiateur américain pour trouver une solution à cette crise, et nous allons continuer à discuter avec la partie américaine", réagit Olivier Nduhungirehe, ministre des Affaires étrangères du Rwanda, invité du Journal de l'Afrique.

In episode 220, host Galit Friedlander and guest Chad Geiger (dance agent at The Movement Talent Agency) pull back the curtain on what representation really looks like from the agency side and what dancers often misunderstand about it. We talk about essential pieces of a sustainable dance career: communication, contracts, headshots and resumes that actually serve you, and how your choices off the floor impact your opportunities just as much as your training on it. Chad shares insight on navigating direct bookings, building trust with your team, and why “doing the basics well” is still one of the biggest differentiators in today's industry.

Today I have the privilege and pleasure of speaking with Nicholas Mirzoeff and Priscilla Wathington about the genocide in Gaza, and how developing a new way of seeing and writing is demanded of us to address this historical moment. In the words of Silvia Federici, “Palestine is the World.”  We take Nick's recent book, To See in the Dark, and animate it by having Priscilla read from her poetry. Nick writes: “After a year of genocide, I think politics is now the meeting of the visible and the unspeakable. Unspeakable in that what is visible is so awful as to be beyond ordinary words. Unspeakable in that what is visible is forbidden to be said.What has been sayable about the unspeakable? It has been poets who have found ways to make language do what it should not have to do.”The goal behind this dynamic interplay is to create the grounds for solidarity with Palestine, and with all other oppressed peoples in the world, and with the planet itself.Nicholas Mirzoeff is Professor and chair in the Department of Media, Culture and Communication at New York University. To See In The Dark: Palestine and Visual  Activism  (2025) is being translated into Czech, Italian and Spanish. It is the most recent of more than a dozen books, including How To See The World (2015), translated into eleven languages. Since Occupy Wall Street (2011), his work has been in dialogue with social movements, including Black Lives Matter (The Appearance of Black Lives Matter) and #MeToo. His writing has appeared in the Guardian, The Nation and LARB. He lives in New York.Priscilla Wathington is a Palestinian American poet/editor and the author of the chapbook, Paper and Stick, which draws from her past human rights advocacy work. She is asking you to resist the lie that you are too helpless, or too busy, or too small to change anything. Take your small hand and your small voice and add it to this symphony against the genocide taking place in Gaza; and speak up not only about Gaza but also Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and your own backyard, and everywhere that humanity is at risk.

Immigration enforcement has reshaped the country, with border encounters at 60-year lows, over two million deportations in eleven months, and millions of visa and asylum cases frozen. Democrats fight the White House in court as Trump calls for expanding denaturalization efforts, including cases like Rep. Ilhan Omar. Federal downsizing accelerates, DEI programs face funding cuts, and the Pentagon prepares to process critical minerals on US military bases. Abroad, the Administration escalates pressure on Venezuela with the dramatic seizure of a sanctioned oil tanker, pushes Mexico to deliver overdue treaty water or face tariffs, and backs a conservative candidate in Honduras as elections tighten. Nicaragua faces new penalties for helping funnel migrants to the US border. In Asia, China falls short on soybean purchases, Ford receives rare earth magnet approvals, and Trump allows Nvidia to sell certain chips to China to maintain leverage. Fighting erupts again between Thailand and Cambodia despite recent US-brokered peace. In Europe, Trump urges Ukraine to negotiate land concessions and rebukes European leaders for failing to deliver meaningful support. And in Africa, the US prepares a billion-dollar investment in Congo's rail network to secure minerals, even as conflict reignites in the region.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump National Security Strategy, immigration enforcement, deportations, denaturalization, Ilhan Omar, border policy, federal downsizing, DEI programs, Perpetua Resources, Venezuela oil tanker, Mexico water treaty, Honduras election, Nicaragua sanctions, China soybean purchases, Nvidia H200 chips, Ford rare earths, Thailand Cambodia conflict, Ukraine peace deal, Congo rail investment

On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, we break down another chaotic stretch for the country as a visibly confused Donald Trump lashes out at yet another reporter who dared remind him of something he said just days ago, as he unveils a massive taxpayer-funded bailout for farmers devastated by his own tariff policies. We cover Alina Habba finally vacating the office she unlawfully occupied while pretending to be a U.S. Attorney, Trump's alarming pro-Russia national security strategy that openly targets the European Union for destruction, and the series of global conflicts now erupting from Congo to Thailand under his destabilizing leadership. We expose the administration's gaslighting about the “great” economy while Americans suffer, Trump's unhinged attack on Marjorie Taylor Greene after her critical 60 Minutes interview, Mike Johnson's mounting crisis as Speaker, and much more from the frontline of this unraveling presidency. Ben, Brett, and Jordy break it all down.
