AT&T Mobility wireless workers just ratified a strong new contract covering 9,000 people across 36 states — and a 95% strike authorization vote is a big reason why the bargaining committee had the leverage it needed. On this episode of America's Work Force Union Podcast, CWA District 4 Administrative Director Frank Mathews discusses the contract win, the CWA Worker Power Agenda built directly from responses by more than 9,000 union members and the legislative conference that sent thousands of CWA members to Capitol Hill with 17 bills and the knowledge to discuss every one of them. He also previews the double overtime legislation unveiled at the conference by Congressman Greg Casar and explains why the No Tax Breaks for Outsourcing Act and the Raise the Wage Act are long overdue.

Alice Kao is the CEO, co-founder and driving force behind Sender One, a Southern California climbing gym chain, which she has led over 13 years from a single location in Santa Ana to six gyms—with more on the way. Her path to the climbing industry was anything but conventional: A first-generation immigrant who interned at Lehman Brothers, worked in international toy sales, and discovered climbing while navigating heartbreak in London, Alice launched Sender One from savings, SBA loans, and checks from family and friends—eventually bringing on a marquee investor in pro climber Chris Sharma. She has since become a respected voice in the broader climbing business community, championing women's leadership through her involvement at CWA, and serving on the USA Climbing board of directors before a principled exit. In this conversation with Scott Rennak, Alice opens up about what it really took to build Sender One—the years of not paying herself, the leap from side hustle to full-time commitment, and the management mistakes she had to unlearn. She also discusses an innovative funding model—a partnership with an impact investment firm to purchase her LAX flagship location—as well as her complicated but ultimately collegial departure from the USA Climbing board. With the 2028 Olympics arriving in LA and her gym sitting eight minutes from the competition venue, she's having more fun running the business than ever before.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 316-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 43,842 on turnover of 26.4-billion N-T. The market lost ground on Tuesday, as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's share price fell from its day's high on technical corrections after a recent rally, pushing the broader market to negative territory - despite it briefly breaching the 44,000 point mark. Ex-Czechia official to speak at democracy forum in Taipei Former foreign ministers from the Czech Republic and the Philippines will be speaking at the inaugural Forum for Democratic Cooperation in Taipei today. The event has been organized by the Forum 2000 Foundation and has received government backing here from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Speaking to reporters in Taipei, foundation executive director, Jakub Klepal, said Taiwan was chosen as the forum's first stop given the growth of A-I and the restructuring (重組) of the global economy, in which Taiwan plays crucial roles. The Forum 2000 Foundation was created by the late Czech President Vaclav Havel and seeks to get democratic actors to address shared challenges in "an increasingly contested global environment." CWA heat alerts remain in effect The Central Weather Administration says hot weather is expected across Taiwan once again today. "Red" heat alerts - meaning maximum temperature could reaches 38-degrees for three consecutive days - have been issued for the Tainan and Pingtung areas. "Orange" heat alerts are in effect in Keelung, Taipei, New Taipei, Changhua, Yunlin, Chiayi, Kaohsiung, Hualien and Taitung - where the mercury could reach a daily maximum temperature of 38-degrees today, or reach 36-degrees for three consecutive days. While a "yellow" heat alert has been issued for Taoyuan - where the temperatures is forecast to reach 36-degrees today. All of the heat alerts are currently (現在) in effect through this afternoon. NASA announces next steps for planned 'moon base' The US space agency NASA has unveiled plans for a permanent (常駐) base on the moon, with the first missions set to launch later this year.

This Day in Legal History: Homestead ActOn May 20, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Homestead Act into law, creating one of the most consequential land distribution systems in American history. The statute allowed eligible settlers to claim 160 acres of federal land, so long as they lived on it, improved it, and cultivated it for a required period of time. At a basic level, the law treated land ownership as something that could be earned through residence and labor rather than purchased outright. That idea made the act especially powerful for many farmers, immigrants, formerly enslaved people, and poor white settlers who otherwise had limited access to property. But the promise of “free land” was never as simple as it sounded.Much of the land made available under the Homestead Act had already been occupied, used, or governed by Native nations, and federal land policy often operated alongside removal, broken treaties, and military force. The act therefore expanded private property rights for some while deepening dispossession for others. It also reflected the federal government's growing role in shaping settlement, agriculture, and economic development across the West. By requiring claimants to improve and farm the land, Congress used property law to encourage a particular vision of citizenship: independent, landowning, agricultural, and tied to national expansion. Over time, the law transferred vast amounts of public land into private hands. By the 1930s, roughly 270 million acres had been distributed under the Homestead Act, about 10% of the land area of the United States. Its legal legacy can be seen in debates over public lands, Indigenous sovereignty, property ownership, and the federal government's power to define who gets access to opportunity.Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told senators that a nearly $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” tied to President Trump's IRS settlement is “not a slush fund,” but there are several reasons to treat that assurance cautiously. The DOJ says Trump, his sons, and the Trump Organization will accept only a formal apology and no direct damages, while the fund will be available to other people who claim they were victims of government “weaponization” or “lawfare.” The problem is that DOJ has not clearly defined who qualifies, what proof is required, or what would disqualify someone from receiving money. When Sen. Chris Van Hollen asked whether people who assaulted police officers on January 6 could apply, Blanche did not rule it out and instead said anyone could apply if they believed they were a victim. Blanche also said he would not personally write the eligibility rules, though senators noted he will appoint most of the commissioners who will oversee the fund. DOJ's public announcement says the fund was created as part of Trump's settlement with the IRS after Trump agreed to drop his lawsuit over the leak of his tax documents.The comparison to the Obama-era Keepseagle settlement is shaky. Keepseagle involved a discrimination case brought by Native American farmers and was approved by a federal judge, while this fund appears to be created through a settlement involving the sitting president and the IRS, without the same kind of judicial approval described here. Democrats also objected that Obama was not personally a plaintiff in Keepseagle, while Trump is directly connected to this settlement. The most legally significant part may be the addendum saying the IRS is permanently barred from examining certain Trump-related tax matters, including returns filed before the settlement's effective date. That makes the deal look larger than a privacy settlement over leaked tax documents, because it may also limit future tax enforcement. Even Senate Majority Leader John Thune said there are “a lot of questions” the administration will have to answer, which is a notable sign that concern is not limited to Democrats.$1.8B IRS Deal Fund ‘Not Slush Fund,' Blanche Tells Senators - Law360Workers at another Wells Fargo branch have moved to drop their union, showing that a once-fast-moving labor campaign inside the bank has lost momentum. The Communication Workers of America gave up representing nine employees at a Wilmington, Delaware, branch after one worker sought a vote to decertify the union. That branch had voted unanimously to unionize in early 2024 and was part of a broader organizing push that brought hundreds of Wells Fargo workers at 28 locations into the union. The campaign was notable because union representation is extremely rare in U.S. banking, where less than 1% of workers are unionized. Organizers had focused on complaints about understaffing, flat wages, sales pressure, and the lingering effects of Wells Fargo's fake-accounts scandal.The recent Delaware development is the fifth Wells Fargo branch where workers have ousted the union, with other decertifications in Florida, New Jersey, and North Carolina, and another petition pending in Wyoming. Wells Fargo said it supports employees' right to choose whether they want union representation. The anti-union National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, which has helped workers challenge union representation, framed the decertifications as evidence that employees are rejecting CWA involvement. The CWA, for its part, has blamed Wells Fargo for slowing contract talks and has accused the bank of retaliating against union supporters and cutting benefits at unionized branches. Wells Fargo denies wrongdoing and says delays are tied partly to the difficulty of negotiating some of the first union contracts in retail banking. The broader context is also unfavorable for unions, with fewer union elections held in 2025 than in 2024 and labor advocates arguing that changes at the National Labor Relations Board under President Trump have made organizing harder.Wells Fargo workers nix another union as tide turns in novel labor campaign | ReutersAnthropic is challenging the Defense Department's decision to label it a supply chain risk and bar it from government contracting, arguing that the move was an extreme response to a contract dispute over how its Claude AI models could be used. The dispute began during negotiations over the department's GenAI.mil platform, where the government wanted contract terms allowing all lawful uses of Claude, while Anthropic sought exceptions for mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons systems. Anthropic argued that the department's main theory was wrong because once Claude was deployed on the department's classified network, it would be air-gapped and Anthropic could not secretly interfere with it during a military operation. The company also said the government had less drastic options, such as declining to buy future Claude models, instead of using a blacklisting authority that had apparently never been used this way before. One D.C. Circuit judge seemed strongly skeptical of the government's action, calling the supply-chain-risk designation a major overreach. Other judges were less certain, asking whether the opaque and unpredictable nature of AI models could justify the government's concern that hidden limits might affect military uses.The government argued that Anthropic's own proposed red lines created a real operational risk, especially if the company expected officials to seek real-time exceptions during military activity. But the judges also pressed the government on why it needed such broad freedom to use AI, including for fully autonomous weapons, given known concerns about AI reliability. They also questioned why the department went straight to a supply-chain-risk designation instead of simply ending or narrowing the relationship. Anthropic said the government skipped required procedural steps, including a joint recommendation and a 30-day response period, before issuing the designation. The government claimed it had to act quickly because Claude was already being used on several Defense Department platforms. Anthropic countered that this urgency argument was weakened by the department's decision to phase out Claude over six months rather than immediately remove it.Anthropic Says Defense Dept. Smeared It Over AI Red Lines - Law360A Massachusetts judge refused to let Morgan & Morgan lawyer T. Michael Morgan appear in civil litigation against Harvard Medical School over the theft and sale of body parts from donated cadavers. The judge said Morgan's earlier sanction in a Wyoming case, where court filings included fake AI-generated case citations, showed a failure to meet basic ethical duties. Morgan had disclosed the prior sanction when asking to appear as an out-of-state lawyer in the Harvard case, but the judge said he did not explain enough about how he had changed his practices to prevent the same problem from happening again. The judge also criticized Morgan for procedural problems with the Massachusetts application, including not having local counsel submit it and paying the wrong fee.Morgan & Morgan said Morgan had accepted responsibility for the earlier mistake and that the firm had added safeguards around AI use. The underlying Harvard litigation involves families who say Harvard mishandled donated bodies after its former morgue manager, Cedric Lodge, stole and sold body parts; Harvard has condemned Lodge's actions but denies civil liability. Lodge was sentenced to eight years in prison in December. The ruling adds to a growing line of cases where lawyers have been sanctioned or warned for relying on AI tools without verifying the accuracy of legal citations.Lawyer barred from Harvard morgue scandal case over fake AI citations | Reuters This is a public episode.

This week, the internet did what it always does: took something good, something that clearly resonated with real people, and turned it into a battlefield. We're talking about Mixtape — the new game from Beethoven & Dinosaur and Annapurna — and why the so-called "controversy" surrounding it tells you more about gaming culture than it does about the actual game.Because let's be honest: a 2-to-3 hour game with a 95 Metascore on Xbox, thousands of positive Steam reviews, and music from Devo, Joy Division, and the Smashing Pumpkins doesn't NEED the internet's permission to be good. But here we are. We're going to talk about why these faux controversies keep popping up, what they say about who gaming makes room for, and why some people just cannot stand it when a game dares to be an emotional experience without a fail state.Then we get into Saros — Housemarque's spiritual successor to Returnal — and yeah, we have THOUGHTS. Arjun Devraj, Rahul Kohli going absolutely OFF in this performance, cosmic horror on planet Carcosa, and a roguelite loop that somehow got MORE accessible without losing the teeth that made Returnal special. Is it better than Returnal? That's a conversation we need to have.We also sat down with Directive 8020 — the newest entry in Supermassive's Dark Pictures Anthology — which takes the series to space and has y'all fighting alien mimics in the void. Alien meets The Thing in video game form? The story and the Turning Points mechanic are genuinely doing something. The stealth sections though… we'll talk about it.And to close it out: Double Fine — Tim Schafer's legendary studio, makers of Psychonauts and the recently released Kiln — has filed a petition to unionize with the CWA. 42 workers. Microsoft taking a neutral stance. This is big, and it's part of a larger wave rolling through the industry. Workers deserve protection, and this moment matters.

Mallard nesting at Grizzly Island, the story about CWA's first biologist, and how research, banding, fundraising, and education all took shapeJeff Smith and Carson Odegard sit down with Dr. Bob McLandress—past CWA president and one of the key figures in the organization's early growth—for a look back at how California Waterfowl found its footing. Bob traces his path from Canada and Ducks Unlimited into graduate work under Dennis Raveling at UC Davis, then into CWA in 1985 as the organization's first biologist—not its first employee, as the old story often goes. From there, the conversation moves through the early Grizzly Island mallard nesting work, the discovery of surprisingly high nest densities, the launch of CWA's first major banding efforts, and the way one research project quickly snowballed into fundraising dinners, youth education, development work, and the broader conservation mission the organization carries today.Episode highlightsBob's path from Winnipeg into waterfowl biology, and how early work in Canada helped set the course for his career.The real story behind the long-running myth: Bob was CWA's first biologist, but not its first employee.Why the early Grizzly Island nesting work changed the conversation around California mallards.How CWA's first banding efforts got rolling—and how those early permits and projects helped build the program that followed.What early CWA really looked like: volunteer-driven, underfunded, chaotic, and full of people trying to build something that mattered.How one biologist's job quickly turned into fundraising, education, development, and helping define CWA's long-term role in California conservation.

It's our last stop on the series of significant events in history, and to round things off ahead of WrestleMania season, it felt only right to get as far away from the glitz and glam of the 42nd edition of the Grandaddy of them all as possible, and a trip to 1988 AWA with their SuperClash III event. This was a big last effort by the remaining hold outs of the territory age to come together and try to keep the WWE and NWA wolves from the door, with the American Wrestling Association teaming up with CWA from Memphis, WCCW from Texas and women's promotion POWW to put on their one and only foray into pay-per-view, The Random Wrestling Review is brought to you this week by Tom, Gavin and Tinky.
Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up nearly 90-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 34,951 on turnover of $10-billion NT. Market optimism over prospects for a Middle East ceasefire lifted U.S. stocks, carrying the momentum into Taiwan's market today. Electronics and semiconductor indices both rose over 1-percent%, while financial stocks bucked the trend, slipping around 0.4-percent. Among heavyweight stocks, TSMC opened with a gain of 1.28-percent. And memory chip duo Winbond Electronics and Nanya Technology both climbed more than 3-percent. (NS) Potential typhoon will not affect Taiwan: CWA A tropical storm southeast of Guam is expected to strengthen into a typhoon — but the Central Weather Administration says it poses (構成) no threat to the island. The CWA says "Sinlaku" is the fourth tropical storm of the season, and is projected to continue heading north before becoming a typhoon. Forecasters say it will remain far from Taiwan and have no direct impact. Closer to home, temperatures are forecast to hit 30 degrees Celsius across Taiwan today, and foehn winds in Taitung could push temperatures above 36 degrees. The hot weather continues through Tuesday, when an arriving weather front will cool northern and central Taiwan. Conditions will otherwise remain mostly sunny and stable through Monday, with afternoon showers possible in mountainous areas. Kuwait Accuses Iran and Proxies of Drone Attacks Kuwait has accused Iran and its proxies of launching drone attacks targeting it on Thursday despite the two-week ceasefire in the Iran war. Saudi Arabia also says recent attacks damaged a key pipeline in the kingdom. The statement from Kuwait's Foreign Ministry about attacks on "vital Kuwaiti facilities" put new pressure on the ceasefire ahead of planned talks Saturday between the United States and Iran in Islamabad. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia's state-run Saudi Press Agency, quoting an anonymous official, acknowledged a recent attack in the war that damaged its crucial (至關重要的) East-West pipeline. That pipeline carries oil out to the Red Sea and avoids the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran maintains a chokehold (實體控制) on despite the pause in the fighting. Artemis II astronauts describe their lunar voyage as surreal and profound ahead of Earth return The crew of Artemis II is speeding towards home after their historic (歷史性) trip around the moon. AP correspondent Jennifer King reports. UK Sea Creature Fossil Not Oldest Octopus Scientists have found evidence that a 300-million-year-old sea creature previously thought to be the world's oldest octopus is actually a nautilus (鸚鵡螺) relative. University of Reading zoology lecturer Thomas Clements led the research, which found that the fossil, originally identified in 2000, had too many teeth to be an octopus. The creature, about the size of a human hand, was found in Illinois and had puzzled scientists for years, because it is much older than the next-earliest known octopus.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 102-points this morning from Friday's close, at 33,009 on turnover of 8.4-billion N-T. The market slumped on Friday, closing down 225-points, or 0.68-per cent, after Wall Street had its worst day since the start of Donald Trump's Iran war over growing doubts about a de-escalation and oil prices have gained more than 1-per cent Cancer treatment cost NHI record NT$156 billion in 2025 The National Health Insurance Administration says National Health Insurance spending on cancer treatment rose to a record 156.7-billion N-T last year. That was an increase of 26.5-billion N-T from 2020. According to the administration, the number of patients seeking cancer treatment increased to 970,104 in 2025, reflecting an average annual increase of 5-per cent over the past five years. Data shows breast cancer accounted for the largest number of cases. The administration says the rising costs are mainly driven by Taiwan's aging population and expanded cancer screening programs, reflecting increased health investment and improved access (通路) to care. CWA warns of aftershocks from Pingtung earthquake The Central Weather Administration's Seismological Center is warning of possible aftershocks over the coming week following Sunday's magnitude 4.7 earthquake the rattled (使慌亂,使緊張) the south Sunday morning. That quake was centered some 29-kilometers south-southeast of Pingtung County Hall at a depth of 23-kilometers and was felt across parts of Pingtung, Taitung, Kaohsiung, Tainan and Chiayi. According to the Seismological Center, the quake could result in aftershocks of between magnitudes 4 and 5 on the weather administration's intensity scale. The center says the quake was caused by the Eurasian Plate subducting beneath the Philippine Sea Plate along Taiwan's Chaozhou Fault zone. Trump Fine with Russia Delivering Oil to Cuba US President Donald Trump says he has “no problem” with a Russian oil tanker off the coast of Cuba delivering relief to the island, which has been brought to its knees (使陷入困境,打敗) by a U.S. oil blockade. Trump told reporters as he flew back to Washington, that "they have to survive". Tracking data shows the oil tanker carrying approximately 730-thousand barrels of oil, was just off the eastern tip of the island on Sunday night and slated to land in the city of Matanzas by Tuesday. Trump has effectively cut Cuba off from key oil shipments in an effort to force regime change. Island-wide blackouts have roiled Cubans already grappling with years of crisis, and lack of gasoline and basic resources has crippled hospital and slashed public transport. Iran warns the US against a ground invasion as regional powers meet in Pakistan Iran threatens the US as Pakistan says it will host talks between the countries in a bid to broker an end to the war. AP correspondent Julie Walker reports Egypt Imposes Early Closing to Cut Energy Costs Egypt is imposing early closing times for shops, cafes and restaurants to cut oil use as energy prices surge (猛漲的) during the war. The rules were enacted nationwide Saturday and are forcing most businesses to shut by 9 p.m. for a month. The government is also dimming (使變暗) streetlights and advertising. Offices in the capital close by 6 p.m. Some civil servants work from home one day a week. Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouly says Egypt faces soaring import costs for fuel. Tourist areas are exempt.

Technology is reshaping the American workplace, but who decides the rules of engagement? In today's episode, we sit down with two major labor leaders to discuss how unions are ensuring workers aren't left behind by infrastructure shifts or digital automation. Segment 1: Broadband Justice & Inclusive Leadership Frank Mathews, Administrative Director for CWA District 4, joins the show to discuss the union's multi-front battle for broadband expansion. He highlights why high-speed internet is a 21st-century civil right and explains how CWA is cultivating a new generation of diverse leaders to meet these challenges. Mathews also shares a personal call to action for a fellow union brother's family in need of a kidney donor. Segment 2: Putting Workers First in the AI Revolution Ohio AFL-CIO President Tim Burga breaks down the "Workers First" initiative on Artificial Intelligence. As the Ohio Statehouse begins debating AI legislation, Burga outlines the essential guardrails needed to prevent job displacement and algorithmic bias. From the rise of data centers in Ohio to the protection of collective bargaining in an automated age, learn why labor must have a seat at the table before the software is coded. Listen in to hear about: The connection between inclusive leadership and union power. How CWA is mobilizing for Elias Manolis's life-saving transplant. The "Workers First" framework for AI regulation in Ohio. Why data centers are a double-edged sword for local communities.

In this episode of "Relatable," Allie breaks down the newest Epstein files released, explaining what the millions of pages of documents really show about prominent political figures. She exposes AI hoaxes, fake “Epstein emails,” and the disturbing but verified correspondence between Jeffrey Epstein and physician Peter Attia. Allie then analyzes Nicki Minaj's outspoken pro-Christian, anti-Democrat turn and contrasts it with the hypocrisy of celebrities like Billie Eilish and Justin Bieber at the Grammys who call for “ICE OUT” while relying on heavy security and gated estates. She also highlights a landmark legal victory for detransitioner Fox Varian, arguing that doctors who push gender surgeries and cross-sex hormones on minors must be held legally accountable. Finally, she critiques the rise of platonic co-parenting, defending the Christian vision of marriage, family, and children's rights against progressive social experiments.

Capitalism as an economic system has been around in various forms for over a thousand years and according to our featured guest this week, it keeps evolving. Join us for a lively and challenging discussion between Ralph and Harvard history professor, Sven Beckert, as they discuss his book “Capitalism: A Global History.”Sven Beckert is the Laird Bell Professor of History at Harvard University. He has written widely on the economic, social, and political history of capitalism. His book Empire of Cotton won the Bancroft Prize and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. His latest book is Capitalism: A Global History.Capitalism has existed within a whole range of political systems of organizing political power. And this includes authoritarian regimes; this includes fascist regimes; and this includes also liberal democratic regimes such as Great Britain and the United States. And you see this kind of tension emerging today within the United States in which there is a kind of concern, I think, among some capital-owning elites about liberal democracy. They see that as being limiting to some of their business interests.Sven BeckertIn a way, the book tries to not make us to be just powerless cogs in a machine and not powerless cogs in the unfolding of history. But the book very much emphasizes that the particular shape that capitalism has taken at any particular moment in time has a lot to do also with questions of the state. It has a lot to do with questions of political power. It has a lot to do with questions of social contestation. And sometimes capitalism has been reshaped drastically by the actions of people with very little power. And I show that in particular when I look at the end of the slave-based plantation economy in the Americas, which is very much driven by the collective mobilization of some of the poorest and most exploited people on planet Earth—namely the enslaved workers who grow all that sugar and all that cotton or that tobacco in the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries.Sven BeckertI think markets and market activities have existed in all human societies. That is not particular to capitalism. And the few efforts in world history in which people have tried to get rid of the market in its entirety have been pretty much economic disasters. So there is a place for the market. There has been a place for the market in all human societies. But in capitalism, the market takes on an importance that it didn't take on in other forms of economic life… I think it is so important to think about this, because, as I said earlier, capitalism is not natural. It's not the only form of economic life on planet Earth. Indeed, it's the opposite. It's a revolutionary departure from older forms of the organization of economic life.Sven BeckertTrump seems really concerned about impeachment because it's beyond his control. And he sees if (with inflation) the economy starts going down more, unemployment up, prices up, all these campaign promises bogus, polls going down—he fears impeachment. And I've yet to hear him say if he was impeached and removed from office, he wouldn't leave the White House—while he's defied all other federal laws, constitutional provisions, and foreign treaties.Ralph NaderNews 1/30/26* Following the murders of U.S. citizens Alex Pretti and Renée Good by ICE agents in Minneapolis – along with the shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis, the abduction of 5-year-old Liam Ramos along with his father, and the arrest of an estimated 3,000 people – the Minnesota AFL-CIO called a General Strike for workers to demand ICE leave the state. This one-day general strike, staged during temperatures of -20°F, drew as many as 100,000 workers into the streets, according to Labor Notes. Participating unions included the SEIU, AFT, and the CWA, along with UNITE HERE Local 17, OPEIU Local 12, IATSE Local 13, and AFSCME Council 5, among many others. Minneapolis has been the site of major labor actions before, perhaps most famously the 1934 General Strike, and it remains a relatively union-dense hub today. It was also the locus of the 2020 George Floyd protests, which many see as a reason why the Trump administration has been so hostile towards the locals.* With the spiraling situation in Minnesota, the Trump administration has finally moved to deescalate somewhat. Per POLITICO, “DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, has…been sidelined,” and border czar Tom Homan has been dispatched to the state to take over operations there. Moreover, the Atlantic reports “Gregory Bovino has been removed from his role as Border Patrol ‘commander at large' and will return to his former job in El Centro, California, where he is expected to retire soon.” While hardly an adequate response to the crisis, these moves do show that Trump sees how badly his lieutenants have bungled their mission. It remains to be seen whether this will mark the end of the high-lawlessness period of ICE activity or if the agency will simply shift its primary theater of operation.* For Minnesota Republicans meanwhile, the situation is nothing short of catastrophic. While the party's fortunes had looked promising just weeks ago, some, like Republican attorney Chris Madel, now say “National Republicans have made it nearly impossible for a Republican to win a statewide election in Minnesota.” Madel had been a candidate for the GOP gubernatorial nomination, but dropped out abruptly this week, citing national Republicans' “stated retribution on the citizens of our state,” per the Star Tribune. While the election is still 10 months away – “a lifetime in politics,” as one person quoted in the story puts it – it is hard to imagine Minnesotans forgetting about the murders of Renée Good and Alex Pretti and delivering a statewide victory for Republicans for the first time since 2006.* Speaking of dropping out, the New York Times reports Eleanor Holmes Norton, the 18-term incumbent delegate representing Washington, D.C. in Congress, has filed a termination notice for her re-election campaign. Norton, a civil rights activist and law professor, was elected D.C. delegate in 1991 and earned a reputation as D.C.'s “warrior on the Hill.” Today, she is the oldest person serving in the House at 88 years old. Norton has shown signs of cognitive decline but insisted she would seek reelection and even after her campaign filed this termination paperwork Norton did not make a public statement for days, raising questions about how aware she even was of this decision – a disgraceful end to a towering career. If any silver lining is to be found, one hopes this will serve as a cautionary tale for other members of Congress not to cling to their seats to the bitter end.* In more congressional news, Axios reports, “Nearly half of the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee broke with their party's leadership in stunning fashion…by voting to hold former President Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress,” for his refusal to testify in the committee's probe related to Jeffrey Epstein. While House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries whipped votes against the motion, Ranking Member Robert Garcia gave committee members permission to “vote their conscience.” With the defections, the vote to hold former President Clinton in contempt was a lopsided 34-8. Nine Democrats voted yes, eight no, and two present. On a separate vote to hold Hillary Clinton in contempt, far fewer Democrats broke ranks. In that vote, Democrats Rashida Tlaib, Summer Lee and Melanie Stansbury voted yes, Dave Min voted present, and the rest voted no. The contempt measure will now move to the House floor and Jeffries must decide whether or not to formally whip votes against the measure there. If it passes a full house vote, the Clintons could be held in jail on contempt charges until they agree to testify, as Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro were during the January 6th investigation.* In more news out of D.C., legendary modern classical composer Philip Glass has pulled the world premiere of his Lincoln Symphony from the Kennedy Center in protest of the venue's takeover by Trump and his cronies. In a statement, Glass wrote “After thoughtful consideration , I have decided to withdraw my Symphony No. 15” because the symphony is “a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, and the values of the Kennedy Center [and its current leadership] today are in direct conflict with the message of the Symphony.” Just days after this embarrassing fiasco, Kevin Couch, the Center's new head of artistic programming, abruptly resigned without explanation, per the Hill.* Meanwhile, in Alaska, the Anchorage Daily News reports the Alaskan Independence Party – the state's third largest political party founded in the 1970s to push for Alaskan independence from the United States – has voted to dissolve itself. Ballot Access News reports that the party leaders felt that there is “little support” for Alaskan independence today and “the public doesn't even understand the party's original purpose.” Still, the party stands as one of the most successful minor parties of the twentieth century, electing Walter Hickel Governor in 1999 and electing a state legislator in 1992. It almost elected another candidate Tyler Ivanoff, in 2022; he won 48.73% of the vote. The state of Alaska will now give the roughly 19,000 members of the AIP the chance to re-register with another party, per Alaska Public Media.* In more positive independent political news, the Chicago Tribune reports Southwest Side Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez has launched an independent bid for Illinois' 4th Congressional District seat. Sigcho-Lopez, a DSA member and progressive firebrand in Chicago, is campaigning to “end tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and dramatically expand social services in housing and health care,” in Congress and is “aligned with working-class labor unions and street protesters pushing back against Trump.” This seat is currently held by stalwart progressive Jesús “Chuy” García, but he pulled an unsavory bait and switch, announcing he would “not seek reelection just hours before the party primary filing deadline, leaving no time for other hopefuls to get in the race for the suddenly vacant seat as his chief of staff, Patty Garcia, became the only candidate in the Democratic primary.” This has forced other candidates like Sigcho-Lopez to launch independent campaigns. To get on the ballot, he must collect at least 10,816 petition signatures between February 25th and May 26th.* In more state and local news, NPR reports that as the federal government withdraws from international institutions like the World Health Organizations, states are stepping into the breach. California, for example, has joined the WHO's Global Outbreak Alert & Response Network, or GOARN, and other states like Illinois are poised to follow suit. States like California and Illinois, being sub-national entities, can not join the WHO as a full member, but are eligible to participate in WHO subgroups like GOARN. In a statement, California Governor Gavin Newsom said “The Trump administration's withdrawal from WHO is a reckless decision that will hurt all Californians and Americans…California will not bear witness to the chaos this decision will bring.”* Finally, Axios is out with a major story on the Catholic Church emerging as a “bulwark of resistance,” to Trump's authoritarianism. This piece cites Archbishop Paul Coakley, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, condemning the ICE killings as “examples of the violence that represent failures in our society to respect the dignity of every human life.” This piece adds that “the three highest-ranking heads of U.S. archdioceses also recently issued a plea for ‘moral foreign policy'” in response to the lawless American military action abroad, namely in Venezuela, Cuba and Iran. Most strikingly, Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, the Catholic archbishop for the military's archdiocese, is quoted saying it would be “morally acceptable” for troops to disobey orders that violate their conscience. A related question of troops disobeying illegal orders has been much discussed lately, with Trump suggesting members of Congress who reminded troops of their obligation to do so should be hanged for treason. Notably, Pew data suggests 43% of Catholics in the U.S. were born outside the country or had at least one parent born outside the U.S. Reverend Tom Reese, a Jesuit priest and analyst, said the people being targeted by Trump's immigration crackdown are “the people in the pews.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Jeff Smith and Carson Odegard welcome Cory Overton, California Waterfowl's new Science Director, for a clear, field-level look at how modern telemetry is rewriting what we know about duck movements—and how that science feeds better habitat work and smarter regs. From the original PINSAT satellite project to today's GPS/cellular tags and emerging smart bands, Cory explains what the data actually show: longer staging in SONEC/Klamath, pintail that roam like “five-year-olds on espresso,” fog-driven chaos that scatters birds, and why some geese will cross wildfires or even sit down on the ocean to ride out smoke. He also digs into CWA's role training the next generation with UC Davis and how new assessment tools will tie real duck use to on-the-ground management.Episode highlightsTelemetry 101 to now — from old VHF triangulation to GPS/cellular tags and first-gen smart bands that could run for decadesWhat PINSAT taught us — SONEC as the spring gas station, and how routes/timing have shifted since the early 2000sFog, storms, and smoke — why pea-soup weeks burn calories, scramble patterns, and sometimes push birds hundreds of miles the “wrong” wayPintail vs. mallards — restless travelers vs. homebodies, and how that plays into the new pintail frameworkKlamath staging — more birds lingering north into winter, with some not dropping to the Valley until late (or at all)What's next at CWA — postseason pintail banding, valley-wide habitat assessment tools, and a UC Davis pipeline for future wetland pros

President Trump will address the nation tonight, his 11 months in office have produced some extraordinary accomplishments. He will address the current issue of affordability and the bright future of the country where the best is yet to come. Stephen Moore is a celebrated economist and he is here to unpack everything happening in the U.S. economy. As recent polls show that people are still not happy about the economy, the numbers are telling a different story. GDP has seen a 4% growth, there are 7 million new job openings and oil and gas production is at an all-time high. After all, around 90% of the price increases were created under Biden, including an inflation rate that hit 9%. President Trump's tariffs and the subsequent deals he made thereafter are working. The U.S. has brought in hundreds of billions to trillions in revenue and as of right now the only developed nation with a growing and booming economy. President Trump again suggested abolishing income tax as tariff revenue slices our deficit in half. President Trump is a visionary and a businessman and is showing the world right now how its done. His next decision will be who to replace Jerome Powell with as Chair of the Federal Reserve. The choice is between Kevin Hassett and Kevin Warsh, both excellent choices to further the Trump agenda and bring us into the Golden Age.

With the world getting worse and worse, the cause of labor remains the hope of the world. With that in mind, we start with headlines from workers on another general strike in Italy, the nationwide Starbucks strike, nurses and Amazon drivers unionizing with the Teamsters, id software workers joining the CWA, and many more. AI is once again exposed as relying on the labor of low paid, highly exploited workers, this time at surveillance company Flock. The New School is the latest institution in higher education being actively dismantled by its administration, we discuss the student-faculty fightback. In These Times this week has an update on the fight by worker organizer Willian Giménez González against ICE attacks. Portuguese workers were the latest to launch a general strike this week, and we discuss the tactics and strategy that would be needed to actually pull one off here in the US.

President Trump attended the historic 126th Army-Navy game over the weekend. As Commander-in-Chief, President Trump joined thousands of Cadets, Midshipmen, and other Patriotic fans to celebrate the unparalleled dedication, discipline, and valor of the United States Military Academy and Naval Academy teams. The Navy did beat the Army 17 to 16 in a very close game. They will receive the Commander In Chief trophy in the new year for their accomplishment. A Jewish community in Australia was attacked by a gunman as they gathered to celebrate Hanukkah at Bondi Beach. The attack took 15 lives as the community was gathered to share "joy and light." Alan Dershowitz joins me to discuss the rise of anti-semitism around the world and how calls to "globalize the intifada" is giving extremists a license to kill Jewish people. Anti-semitic speech is poisoning factions within both parties with the likes of Zohran Mamdani and Bernie Sanders, and right-wing extremism from characters like Nick Fuentes. House Democrats are still trying to drum up Epstein noise. Democrats released a photo of President Trump with Hawaiian Tropic models with their faces covered and tried to pin it to the Epstein case. Dershowitz states plainly Democrats are selectively releasing photos to create a false narrative. Alan unpacks the cartel boats strikes in the Caribbean and their legal authority as military targets.

We have an extra special guest host today on the Sean Spicer Show! Batya Ungar-Sargon, host of Batya! on News Nation is going to lead our Thursday panel for an amazing conversation on everything happening in Washington this week. President Trump's rally in Pennsylvania hammered home the upward turn in the U.S. economy, wages and job creation, but are Americans actually feeling a return in their buying power? One thing is for certain, he is reinvigorating the American workforce. Before President Trump took office, nearly all new jobs were going to migrants and illegals, now 100% of new job creations are going to American citizens. While jobs are being created and wages continue to go up, Americans are still overwhelmed with grocery bills, housing and healthcare costs. The Supreme Court is set to hear the case on birthright citizenship. The 14th amendment is at the root of the case, created to ensure children of slaves were guaranteed citizenship after the Civil War. Now, illegal immigrants enter the country just to have children and abuse the system by getting the rest of the family into the country. Billions of taxpayer money that was supposed to go to school food programs for children and social service programs have been stolen by Somali frauds. These fake NGOs instead went to purchase luxury homes and vehicles and in some cases routed overseas to terrorists. President Trump did not hold back on his thoughts about the fraudsters and Somali Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. Will Republicans have a dynamic character like President Trump in 2028 or fade back to GOP business as usual. Our rockstar panel weighs in on it all... PLUS this week's winners and losers!

President Trump was on fire in Pennsylvania last night. In a speech that felt like a rally the president reported how the country is back 10 months after the disaster of the Biden administration and radical Democrats. The crowd cheered on President Trump as he lad out the groundwork for all the success to come, not only to Pennsylvania but to the country. Senator Ron Johnson is having a hearing today about another failed Democrat disaster, Obamacare. The hearing is focused on assessing the damage done by Obamacare and the damage is significant. Recent reports from Paragon show there is between 6 million and 24 million cases of fraudulent usage of Obamacare that costs taxpayers $27 billion per year. From phantom accounts to double enrollment to zero-enrollment, Obamacare is a complete failure completely perpetrated by Democrats. There are around 1.6 million people over the 400% poverty line that are looking at some premiums upwards of $30,000 per month. These people need to be accounted for and Senator Ron Johnson has a plan that could make it work. Republican Senators Crapo and Cassidy "Make Healthcare Affordable" plan addresses some of the issues but will not get a Democrat vote to pass. Senator Johnson has publicly stated his support to end the filibuster to get legislation passed before we are looking at another government shutdown. Senator Johnson warns of the Socialist takeover Democrats will reap on this country if Republicans fail to be bold and act now.

Jeff Smith and Carson Odegard sit down with Mark Regalbuto, CEO of MIGRA Ammunition, for a straight-shooting talk on California waterfowling and the nuts and bolts of building precision shotshells. They cover why California is richer duck country than most folks realize—ocean to marsh to rice—and how public-land access shapes the hunt. They also dig into navigating California ammo regulations, COVID-era growth, sustainability trends like biodegradable components, and where MIGRA sees innovation and partnerships heading next.What you'll hearCalifornia, underrated and accessible — from salt to rice, there's “a little bit of everything” on public ground.Regulatory reality — the extra hoops to sell and distribute ammo in-state, and why folks hope those rules don't go national.Scaling through the surge — how COVID demand impacted MIGRA's operations.Greener components — where biodegradable wads/cases are now and what could make them mainstream.Roadmap & relationships — waterfowl loads, crossover ideas, and how a boutique brand partners in a crowded market.CWA partnership — closing thanks and a welcome to MIGRA as a new corporate supporter of California Waterfowl.
Carson Odegard (fresh off dad duty) and Jeff Smith run a quick, no-nonsense update on how November hunts went across CWA properties—and what's opening up for December. From Staten Island's lights-out start to new rice blinds coming online (including veteran blinds), this one's your fast guide to where birds are working and how to grab a spot.What you'll hearCarson's back and lining up winter hunts—then straight into a November conditions snapshot.New access coming online: Gatti is filled and running as a veteran blind; Whitman is up next—and it's veteran access as well.O'Banion rice blind: still has open dates—good chance to slip in before the next weather bump.Potrero (rice) additions: new Sunday dates in December—reserve your blind at calwaterfowl.org.Hot start at Staten Island: first hunts were phenomenal—as good an opener as we've seen there.What's next: final regular-season draw coming up with a “bunch of really good hunts” to apply for.If you're planning the next pull, this quick hit tells you what's hunting, what's about to, and where to jump on remaining dates.

President Trump welcomed Saudi Crown Prince Bin Salman to the White House today. The Crown Prince announced how pleased he is with what President Trump is doing and the investment in the United States could reach $1 trillion. The House is expected the vote to pass to release the Epstein files. With the protection of Congress, will the victims be more inclined to actually name names of who did what and where? A judge is not happy with the prosecution of former FBI director James Comey but this does not rule out the fact that he lied to Congress.
