Lt-Col Justice Jabulani Duma told the Madlanga Commission that he had no interaction with an official who claimed he was not informed about the container inspection that led to a major drug seizure. Duma said he was unaware of the procedures followed by that official and believed any communication failures may have occurred at depot level. He explained that the container had already left Durban Harbour and was located at a depot when the inspection took place. Duma further testified that ORS members were present during the inspection and that information about who attended the operation would ordinarily be recorded in his official report submitted after the operation.

Bartosz Gołąbek zaprasza na 256. wydanie podcastu Czytamy po rosyjsku, a w nim:14 maja 2026 Duma wybrała 37-letnią Janę Łantratową na rzecznika praw człowieka Federacji Rosyjskiej. Pretekst do rozmowy o pokoleniu, które wychowało się już w putinizmie i właśnie obejmuje władzę.Próbujemy zrozumieć, jak działa to pokolenie kobiet z roczników 1982–1988 — Łantratowa, Lwowa-Biełowa, Mizulina, Kuzniecowa, Plieszczewa. Skąd przychodzą, jak budują kariery, jak czytają sygnały Kremla, w jaki sposób są instrumentalizowane i jak same się w putinizm wpisują. Patrzymy też na tło — starsze pokolenie kobiet, które wciąż trzyma strategiczne wieże rosyjskiego państwa.Pytanie, które stawiamy: czy nominacja Łantratowej to pojedynczy awans, czy prototyp putinowskiej fali kadrowej, która ukształtuje Rosję następnych dwóch–trzech dekad.Źródła:— Meduza, W Rosji będzie nowy ombudsman https://meduza.io/feature/2026/05/08/v-rossii-budet-novyy-ombudsmen-eto-yana-lantratova-ee-naznachenie-lobbiroval-nikita-mihalkov-uznala-meduza— RT, komentarz Łantratowejhttps://russian.rt.com/opinion/1630564-lantratova-rossiya-grazhdanskoe-obschestvo— Radio Swobodahttps://www.svoboda.org/a/pechaljnoe-sobytie-novaya-upolnomochennaya-po-pravam-cheloveka-v-rossii/33757539.html— Materiał wideohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3BWP556Jt4— Materiał wideohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YULK0Fo47cw— Nowaja Gazeta Europa, Mir uznany za wrogahttps://novayagazeta.eu/articles/2025/05/18/mir-opoznan-kak-vrag— Nowaja Gazeta Europa, Jej zadaniem jest wykonywać poleceniahttps://novayagazeta.eu/articles/2026/04/24/ee-zadacha-vypolniat-porucheniiaWsparcie projektu:

Rozumiecie? Nasi na mundial się nie zakwalifikowali, a ja do stawów tak. Nie każdy został zakwalifikowany do programu zdrowe stawy, tylko wybrani. Trzeba sobie zasłużyć, całym swoim życiem, postawą etyczno-moralną i inną, stosunkiem do służby wojskowej, poglądami odpowiadającymi wymogom bieżącej sytuacji gospodarczo-politycznej, regularnym zachwytem nad kwitnącym bzem, pochyleniem się z troską nad płaczącą wierzbą...
Faithful In The Small ThingsA message on habits, identity, and long-term faithfulness through the story of David and Goliath.Episode SummaryIn this powerful message, Ps Khulu Duma reminds us that David's victory over Goliath wasn't a random miracle moment — it was the result of years of faithfulness in unseen places. Long before the giant fell, David was faithfully practicing with his sling, protecting sheep, and developing character in private.This sermon challenges us to stop despising small beginnings and to recognize that the small habits, disciplines, and decisions we make consistently are shaping who we become. Whether it's prayer, generosity, discipline, health, relationships, or leadership — God honors faithfulness in the small things.The key question isn't just “What do I want to do?” but “Who am I becoming?”Key Scriptures 1 Samuel 17 Matthew 25:21 Ephesians 4:22–24 Galatians 6:9 Zechariah 4:10 Key Takeaways Public victories are built in private faithfulness. Small consistent habits create massive long-term change. Identity shapes habits, and habits reinforce identity. Start with “Who am I becoming?” before asking “What must I do?” God rejoices in small beginnings. Repeated faithfulness leads to spiritual harvest. Practical Habits Mentioned:Spiritual Health Think same time + ahead of time for devotional rhythms. Pre-plan Bible reading and prayer times. Emotional Health Use physical cues before reacting. Pause and ask: “Will my response build or break this relationship?”Physical Health Make healthy habits obvious and accessible. Reduce friction for exercise and hydration. Finances Automate giving and saving on payday. Build faithful stewardship through consistency. Family Schedule intentional family time. Put what matters most in the calendar. Reflection Questions What small habit is God asking you to stay faithful in? Who are you becoming? What repeated actions are shaping your future? Are there any “small beginnings” you've been tempted to despise? Next StepsThis week: Write down who you want to become. Choose one small habit to repeat consistently. Pray for God to strengthen your identity in Christ. Don't underestimate the impact of small faithful steps.⛪ Thrive Church Helping people move towards Jesus.
Isaías 21 nos recuerda una verdad firme: Dios es soberano sobre toda la historia. A lo largo del tiempo, ningún imperio ha permanecido. Babilonia cayó, y con ella toda aparente seguridad humana. Hoy pueden existir potencias, pero nada es eterno fuera de Dios. Solo hay un reino que no será destruido, y vale la pena estar del lado de ese Rey.La visión de la caída de Babilonia impacta profundamente a Isaías, llenándolo de angustia. Esto nos muestra que el juicio de Dios es real, serio y justo. Dios pesa nuestras vidas, ve el corazón y tiene el control absoluto.Esta profecía no solo se cumplió históricamente (como en los tiempos de Daniel), también apunta a una realidad futura. Dios no habla solo del presente, sino de toda la historia, mostrando que su Palabra siempre se cumple.Las profecías sobre Duma y Arabia refuerzan el mismo mensaje: los tiempos difíciles vendrán, pero el llamado sigue siendo el mismo — volver a Dios, confiar en Él y permanecer firmes.Dios es el Señor de la historia. Todo lo sabe, todo lo mide y todo lo dirige.Y aun en medio del juicio, su corazón sigue siendo el mismo: mostrar misericordia y llamar a las personas a regresar a Él.La pregunta es clara:¿En qué reino estás poniendo tu esperanza?#Isaías21 #DiosSoberano #ReinoDeDios #ProfecíaBíblica #SemillaVeracruz #TaliVictoria #BibliaVersoAVerso #Evangelio #ConfianzaEnDios #EsperanzaEnCristo

Duma i smutek - tymi dwoma słowami mieszkańcy Matczyna wspominają akcje Most 1. 15 kwietnia mija kolejna rocznica brawurowej akcji pierwszego udanego lotu alianckiego samolotu Dakota. Akcja była sukcesem - stąd dumą, a smutek, bo Niemcy w odwecie zamordowali pięciu mieszkańców okolicznych wsi, w tym trzech braci.
Title: Faithful When We're Faithless Speaker: Ps Amy-Jane DumaDescription: We all experience seasons—moments where faith feels strong and others where fear, disappointment, or uncertainty make it hard to believe. In this powerful message, Ps Amy-Jane reminds us of an unchanging truth: God remains faithful, even when we feel faithless.Through personal stories and the life of Peter, we see that God's faithfulness isn't dependent on our performance—it's rooted in His character. His love sees us, pursues us, and restores us.Key Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:13 – “If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.”Key Thought: God's faithfulness is not dependent on our faithfulness.3 Truths About God's Faithfulness: • He sees you – Even in your weakest, most faithless moments, God looks at you with love, not condemnation. • He pursues you – When you drift, He draws near. His love doesn't give up on you. • He restores your purpose – God doesn't just forgive; He reaffirms your calling and trusts you again.Illustration: Like sitting on a chair without hesitation, we can trust God to hold us—even when we can't see or feel Him. His faithfulness remains constant.Application:

En 2006, Mijaíl Yúrguev, exvicepresidente de la Duma rusa, publicó una novela titulada El Tercer Imperio. Vista desde Rusia, es una epopeya gloriosa; vista desde cualquier otro lugar del planeta, es una distopía de pesadilla. En ella, un tal Vladimir II —sí, han leído bien— restaura el poder ruso, invade Ucrania para derrocar a un gobierno prooccidental, se enfrenta a Estados Unidos en una guerra nuclear... y gana. El libro, recomendado por Alexander Dugin —el llamado "Rasputín de Putin"—, se ha convertido en lectura habitual en el Kremlin. ¿Ficción visionaria o manual de instrucciones? Lo que parecía un delirio ultranacionalista empieza a parecerse demasiado a los titulares de nuestros informativos. Hoy abrimos este libro y lo que encontramos dentro da verdadero escalofrío.

Dziś w programie: tragiczny bilans operacji „Epicka Furia” - ośmiu zabitych żołnierzy USA i miliardy dolarów wydane na wojnę z Iranem. Sprawdzamy, dlaczego Antonio Costa wskazuje Rosję jako jedynego zwycięzcę tego chaosu. Następnie zajrzymy na stacje paliw - baryłka ropy przekracza 110 dolarów, a ceny w Polsce idą w górę. Zapytamy też ekspertkę NASK, jak sztuczna inteligencja mąci nam w głowach, serwując dezinformację prosto z frontu. Na koniec spotkanie z Joanną Fabisiak o dumie z polskości wśród młodzieży na świecie. Zapraszamy!
We live in a world where connection has never been easier—yet meaningful relationships often feel harder than ever. In this message, Khulu Duma launches the series “US: Growing Greater Relationships” by addressing a modern challenge many of us face: the divide created by our screens.Relationships matter deeply, but our devices can quietly pull our attention away from the people who matter most. Phones, laptops, TVs, and even smartwatches can interrupt conversations, reduce face-to-face interaction, and create habits that slowly distance us from those we love.Research shows the average person touches their phone between 90 and 150 times a day, and in some cases up to 300 times. These habits are reinforced by dopamine loops created by notifications, messages, and endless scrolling. The result? Technology begins to shape our attention and becomes the “frame of reference” in our daily interactions.But here's the tension: we need our devices. They help us work remotely, connect with family across the world, capture memories, and access learning tools. The real issue isn't eliminating technology—it's mastering it instead of being mastered by it.Drawing from First Epistle to the Corinthians 6:12, we're reminded: “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial… I will not be mastered by anything.This truth leads to a powerful challenge: Master the screens that divide us.In this episode, we explore five practical ways to reclaim connection:• Create Phone-Free Moments – Some moments should belong to people, not screens. • Start and End the Day Without Screens – The first and last moments of the day shape our focus. • Practice Intentional Checking – Technology should serve us, not control us. • Protect Deep Connection Time – Relationships grow when we give people our full attention. • Have a Weekly Digital Reset – Regular breaks from technology help our minds and relationships reset.Just as the Berlin Wall once divided families for decades before suddenly coming down, the barriers created by screens in our lives can also be torn down. With intentional choices and God's help, we can rebuild connection and strengthen the relationships that matter most.Ultimately, the greatest connection we can have is with Jesus. When our relationship with Him is restored, it begins to reshape every other relationship in our lives.If you've ever felt distracted, disconnected, or pulled away from the people you love, this message will help you take practical steps toward closing the divide and building greater relationships.⛪ Thrive Church Helping people move towards Jesus.
PiS ma problem, bo sypią się ich sondażowe słupki. Wydaje się, że Jarosław Kaczyński, jako jednoosobowa instytucja już nie będzie w stanie posklejać i zjednoczyć swoich polityków. – Dla szeregowych posłów to jest być albo nie być – mówi naTemat Marcin Duma, badacz opinii i rynku oraz założyciel Instytutu Badań Rynkowych i Społecznych IBRiS.W ostatnich miesiącach PiS notuje najniższe wyniki poparcia od blisko dekady. Najgorszy rezultat partia Jarosława Kaczyńskiego zaliczyła właśnie teraz – w sondażu United Surveys by IBRiS dla Wirtualnej Polski. To już nie jest walka na żyletki z Koalicją Obywatelską, która w tym badaniu zajęła pierwsze miejsce.Jednocześnie w PiS trwa... wojna światów, czyli rywalizacja różnych frakcji. "Maślarze", "harcerze" – Kaczyński musi pilnie pogodzić wszystkie grupy, żeby przynajmniej stwarzać pozory jedności.– Jarosław Kaczyński, wysyłając publicznie sygnały, które mają ostudzić lub wygasić spór, to nie jest prezes PiS, który jest silny. To rodzi poczucie, że podejmuje rozpaczliwe działania na rzecz tego, żeby zakończyć spór. Co więcej, kolejne etapy tego sporu tylko się rozwijają – podkreśla w naTemat Marcin Duma.
Episode Title: Greater TransformationThere are moments in life when everything shifts because of one interaction, one conversation, one unexpected encounter. In this powerful message, we unpack John 4 and the story of the woman at the well—an ordinary day that turned into a life-changing encounter with Jesus.She came carrying a jar. Routine. Shame. Disappointment. Survival.She left with living water—and a testimony.This episode explores how greater transformation begins with great grace from God and results in great works for God.Key ScriptureJohn 4 (The Woman at the Well)3 Movements of Greater Transformation1️⃣ Jesus Meets UsJesus “had to” go through Samaria. Not for convenience—but for a divine appointment.Before we ever seek Him, He seeks us. Before we clean ourselves up, He meets us as we are.Grace always starts the conversation.“While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” – Romans 5:8 “We are more sinful and flawed than we ever dared believe, yet more loved and accepted in Christ than we ever dared hope.” – Tim KellerPractice this week: Start each day with a simple prayer: “Jesus, meet me at my well today.” Invite Him into your routine. Give Him permission to interrupt you.2️⃣ Jesus Changes UsJesus lovingly confronts the woman's past—not to shame her, but to free her.Transformation is free. Surrender is costly.We often pray: “Jesus, fill me… but don't touch this.” “Change me… but don't ask me to surrender that.”The jar represents the temporary things we keep returning to—relationships, control, ambition, comfort, hidden compromise.Living water and the jar cannot coexist.“Grace is not opposed to effort, it is opposed to earning.” – Dallas WillardPractice this week: Ask the Holy Spirit: “What jar are You asking me to put down?” Don't defend it. Surrender it.When the jar goes down, freedom begins.3️⃣ Jesus Sends UsAfter her encounter, the woman runs back to town:“Come and see a man who told me everything I ever did!”The one who avoided the crowd is now gathering a crowd.Transformation isn't complete until it overflows. A surrendered life becomes a sent life.One conversation led to a town believing.You don't need a theology degree. You just need your story.Practice this week: Pray: “Lord, give me one name.” One person to share your story with.Big IdeaGreater transformation starts with grace from God—but it must result in works for God.Jesus meets us.Jesus changes us.Jesus sends us.You never know who might encounter Jesus because you encountered Him first.⛪ Thrive Church Helping people move towards Jesus.

Silicon Bites Ep287 | 2026-02-17 | “Bad things are coming for Russia”: Z-Patriot Maxim Kalashnikov goes full doom-monger on the crisis of statehood enveloping Russia. Today's warning siren isn't coming from liberal Moscow, Navalny's team or TV Rain. It's coming from the other side of the ideological trench: the Z-Patriot ecosystem.

Daria Krasovskaia – urodzona w Petersburgu była radna miejska (2019–2023), dziś doktorantka Uniwersytetu Mikołaja Kopernika w Toruniu – opowiada o presji, która zmusiła ją do wyjazdu z Rosji, oraz o tym, jak zmieniło się rosyjskie społeczeństwo w czasie wojny.„Jeśli nie wyjadę wtedy, później może to już nie być możliwe”Decyzja o emigracji nie była nagła. Jak podkreśla, podobną sytuację przeżywali wszyscy liberalni deputowani w Petersburgu.„Większość z nas nie mogła wyjechać z dnia na dzień – mieliśmy rodziny, zobowiązania, dokumenty do uporządkowania. W moim przypadku była to decyzja, którą podejmowałam stopniowo”.We wrześniu 2022 roku opuściła Rosję w pośpiechu. Już w maju otrzymała sygnał, że wobec osób o jej poglądach może zostać wszczęte postępowanie.„Wiedziałam, że trwa dochodzenie, że jesteśmy pod stałą obserwacją. Miałam świadomość, że jeśli nie wyjadę wtedy, później może to już nie być możliwe”.Powodem była jej publiczna postawa wobec wojny.„Każdy deputowany czy osoba publiczna, która oficjalnie nie popierała wojny albo wypowiadała się przeciwko niej, mogła stać się przedmiotem postępowania”.W jej 20-osobowej radzie tylko dwie osoby miały podobne poglądy. Dziś oboje są na emigracji.Dwie fale emigracjiKrasovskaia wyróżnia kilka fal wyjazdów z Rosji po 24 lutego 2022 roku.Pierwsza – polityczna – objęła działaczy i osoby związane z opozycją, m.in. środowiska skupione wokół Fundacji Walki z Korupcją Aleksieja Nawalnego. Druga była efektem mobilizacji.„Wyjeżdżali nie tylko mężczyźni, ale całe rodziny. Nie chodziło wyłącznie o sprzeciw wobec wojny, lecz o niechęć do udziału w niej”.Szacunki mówią nawet o dwóch milionach emigrantów, choć część z nich wróciła z powodu problemów z legalizacją pobytu. Władze wykorzystały wyjazdy propagandowo.„Propaganda była prowadzona na szeroką skalę, aby przekonać Rosjan pozostających w kraju, że emigranci są zdrajcami”.70 proc. poparcia – ale dla czego?Najczęściej zadawane pytanie dotyczy realnego poparcia dla wojny. Dane niezależnego Centrum Lewady pokazują około 70 proc. deklarowanego poparcia dla działań rosyjskich sił zbrojnych.„Jeśli spojrzymy na liczby dosłownie, to jest to prawda. Ale dużo zależy od interpretacji danych”.Jak tłumaczy, w rosyjskiej kulturze armia jest symbolem tożsamości narodowej i historycznych zwycięstw.„Wiele osób odpowiada raczej na pytanie: ‘Czy jesteś za swoim krajem, czy przeciw niemu?', niż ‘Czy popierasz wojnę?'”.Co więcej, nawet wśród osób krytycznych wobec władzy około 55 proc. deklaruje poparcie dla armii. W Moskwie wskaźnik ten sięga około 80 proc.Jednocześnie rośnie poparcie dla rozmów pokojowych – ale nie za wszelką cenę. W styczniowym badaniu 60 proc. respondentów opowiedziało się raczej za eskalacją niż za ustępstwami.„Wielu Rosjan chce pokoju, ale na własnych warunkach – takiego, który pozwoli zachować poczucie zwycięstwa i godności narodowej”.Tożsamość narodowa silniejsza niż strachZdaniem naszej rozmówczyni kluczowym czynnikiem jest dziś tożsamość narodowa.„Wielu ludzi jest gotowych czekać, znosić trudności i żyć w mniej komfortowych warunkach, jeśli wiąże się to z poczuciem, że ich kraj jest silny i że ‘wygrywa'”.Co zaskakujące, nawet osoby niepopierające wojny deklarują wzrost dumy narodowej. To – jak podkreśla – może być zjawisko niebezpieczne w przyszłości.Rosja, Europa i Polska w oczach RosjanPo wybuchu wojny niechęć wobec Zachodu wzrosła. Obecnie widać jednak różnicowanie postaw wobec USA i Europy.„Stany Zjednoczone zaczynają być postrzegane oddzielnie od Europy, a nastawienie do Ameryki stopniowo się poprawia”.W przypadku Europy nastroje się pogarszają. Wśród państw postrzeganych najbardziej negatywnie – obok Ukrainy – wymieniane są Niemcy i Polska.„Wynika to z tego, że oba te państwa regularnie i publicznie mówią o swoim wsparciu dla Ukrainy”.Emigranci: mniej wiary w rewolucjęRosyjscy emigranci również są dziś podzieleni. Początkowa wiara w szybkie osłabienie władzy Putina ustąpiła realizmowi.„Coraz więcej osób uznaje, że w obecnych warunkach w Rosji nie jest możliwa rewolucja – przede wszystkim dlatego, że ludzie się boją”.Mimo to środowiska liberalne próbują działać z zagranicy: zabiegają o wsparcie europejskich rządów, o bezpieczne ścieżki wyjazdu dla przeciwników wojny i o utrzymanie kontaktu z Rosjanami w kraju.„Robimy co możemy, żeby promować nasz opór i zapewniać dostęp do informacji ludziom, którzy są w kraju”.
2026-02-18 | UPDATES #135 | Putin's mobilisation rumour machine. Is this why the ban is dropping on Telegram in Russia? If you want to understand where Putin's regime thinks the real danger lives, don't look at the front line first. Look at the phone in your pocket. Putin is more afraid of the power of phones and the messaging apps they contain, as a platform for the coordination of resistance to his regime, than he is of losing personnel and territory on the battlefield. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------A REQUEST FOR HELP!I'm heading back to Kyiv this week, to film, do research and conduct interviews.

This Day in Legal History: Fundamental Laws of 1906On December 30, 1905, Tsar Nicholas II signed the “Fundamental Laws of 1906,” marking a pivotal moment in the Russian Empire's struggle between autocracy and constitutionalism. This act came in response to the Revolution of 1905, a period of mass unrest fueled by political repression, economic hardship, and a humiliating defeat in the Russo-Japanese War. The October Manifesto, issued two months earlier, had promised the establishment of a legislative Duma and the expansion of civil liberties. However, the Fundamental Laws, signed in December, revealed the Tsar's intention to retain ultimate authority despite these concessions.The document laid out a framework for governance, establishing a bicameral legislature with the Duma as its lower house, but Article 4 made clear that “the All-Russian Emperor possesses the supreme autocratic power.” This meant that, legally, any legislative progress remained subordinate to the Tsar's will. The laws also granted the Tsar control over the military, foreign policy, and the ability to dissolve the Duma at his discretion.While the Fundamental Laws introduced formal legal structures and acknowledged the existence of limited civil rights, they were largely symbolic gestures rather than meaningful reforms. Instead of curbing autocratic rule, the laws codified it, cloaking absolute monarchy in the appearance of legality. This duality deepened public dissatisfaction and political fragmentation.Rather than stabilizing the empire, the signing of the Fundamental Laws sowed further distrust in the regime and highlighted the Tsar's unwillingness to relinquish power. These contradictions contributed to the failure of the Duma system and fueled revolutionary momentum that would ultimately culminate in the revolutions of 1917.The Trump administration reached an agreement to review certain NIH grant applications that had been stalled or rejected amid a broader legal challenge over cuts to diversity-related research funding. The agreement followed a federal court ruling in Boston that found the NIH acted unlawfully when it canceled grants based on their perceived ties to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Though the Supreme Court later paused part of that ruling and shifted some aspects of the litigation to a court specializing in monetary claims, the review process for future NIH funding remained in legal limbo.Under the new agreement, the NIH will re-evaluate previously frozen or withdrawn grant applications, though it is not required to fund any specific proposals. Plaintiffs in the case, including researchers and several Democratic-led states, argued that the impacted studies—focusing on topics like HIV prevention, LGBTQ health, Alzheimer's, and sexual violence—serve vital public health needs.One of the plaintiffs, University of New Mexico postdoctoral researcher Nikki Maphis, said the agreement allows important scientific work to resume after what she described as an “arbitrary and destructive freeze.” The underlying NIH policy change, which cut funding for projects deemed to reflect ideological rather than scientific priorities, remains contested. A prior ruling blocking the policy is still under appeal by the Department of Health and Human Services.Trump administration agrees to review stalled NIH research grants after lawsuit | ReutersThe Trump administration's aggressive defunding of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has pushed the agency to the brink of collapse, jeopardizing one of the few federal institutions explicitly designed to protect everyday Americans from financial harm. Created in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, the CFPB has long served as a crucial recourse for people facing predatory lending, credit reporting errors, identity theft, and financial discrimination. The agency has helped return more than $21 billion to consumers since its founding. And yet, under President Trump's second term, it's being systematically dismantled—through funding cuts, legal challenges, and staffing reductions—with the administration openly declaring its intent to shut the agency down.In the absence of the CFPB, those wronged by financial institutions—like Bianca Jones, who battled a credit reporting error that nearly cost her a home, or Morgan Smith, who turned to the agency after being targeted by identity theft—may find themselves with nowhere to turn. The administration claims the CFPB promotes a political agenda, but the result is fewer protections for those already vulnerable. Rules around medical debt, overdraft fees, credit card terms, and mortgage lending have been gutted. Investigations have been shelved. Enforcement is evaporating.Critics argue that other regulators can fill the gap, but the CFPB was created because no one else was doing the job. Without it, financial institutions are more likely to abuse their power with impunity.You should ask yourself: who benefits when a consumer watchdog is taken offline? Because it certainly isn't the teachers, the single parents, the sick, or the struggling borrowers trying to make sense of a system stacked against them. It's the companies who'd rather not answer for what they do in the dark.Trump's funding cuts put America's consumer watchdog on the brink of collapse | ReutersA federal appeals court ruled that it cannot hear Amazon's constitutional challenge to the structure of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), deepening a circuit split on the issue and increasing the likelihood of U.S. Supreme Court review. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals found that Amazon's case stemmed from a labor dispute and was therefore barred by the Norris-LaGuardia Act, which prohibits courts from intervening in active labor disputes. Amazon had filed the lawsuit to halt an NLRB case claiming it was a joint employer of unionized drivers working for a subcontractor and therefore obligated to bargain with their union.Amazon's broader claim—that the NLRB's structure is unconstitutional because its board members and judges are protected from at-will removal—has gained traction elsewhere. The 5th Circuit, in a recent case involving Elon Musk's SpaceX, ruled that such protections are unlawful and allowed a similar challenge to proceed. But the 9th Circuit firmly disagreed, emphasizing that courts should not interfere with labor board proceedings, regardless of the constitutional claims involved.This ruling aligns with a 3rd Circuit decision and stands in direct conflict with the 5th Circuit, setting the stage for a high-stakes resolution by the Supreme Court. Importantly, the 9th Circuit's ruling doesn't completely shut the door on such challenges—employers can still raise constitutional objections in NLRB proceedings and appeal after the fact. But for now, Amazon and other companies must make their case through the channels Congress established for resolving labor disputes.US court says it can't hear Amazon's NLRB challenge, deepening circuit split | ReutersA Utah judge has granted the release of most of the transcript and audio from a closed hearing in the high-profile case involving the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The hearing, held in October, addressed courtroom safety measures for the accused, Tyler Robinson, who is charged with aggravated murder and other serious offenses. Prosecutors allege Robinson fired a single fatal shot from a rooftop during a university event where Kirk was speaking, and they intend to seek the death penalty.Judge Tony Graf ruled that only about one page of the 80-page transcript would remain redacted, primarily for safety and security reasons. He also clarified that media organizations do not need special legal status to cover the proceedings, rejecting a request that would have guaranteed them advance notice of any future attempts to close hearings.Graf has already decided that Robinson can appear in civilian clothing but must remain physically restrained in court. However, media outlets are prohibited from photographing or filming his restraints, as defense attorneys argued such images could bias potential jurors. A hearing set for February will address whether cameras will be allowed in the courtroom at all.Kirk's death, which occurred during a campus debate, triggered widespread condemnation of political violence from across the ideological spectrum.Judge grants release of redacted transcript of Charlie Kirk case hearing | ReutersAs 2025 winds down, my Bloomberg column this week is a year-end piece reflecting not just on what was written, but on which ideas still resonate because the problems they address remain unresolved. The lasting relevance of several pieces underscores how little has shifted in tax and policy debates. A July column urging states to break free from federal tax volatility feels even more urgent now, as states still cling to unstable baselines. Early in the year, hopes that efficiency rhetoric (read: DOGE) might close the tax gap faded, with political discomfort around auditing the wealthy preventing any meaningful change. April's look at the step-up in basis revealed how death, not borrowing, remains the biggest capital gains loophole—and one Congress left untouched in the 2025 tax law. A May column on IRS immigration enforcement gains new resonance as the crackdown deepens, pushing some immigrant workers further from voluntary compliance. And October's piece on Pung v. Isabella County remains live, with the Supreme Court set to decide whether fairness in tax foreclosures means market value or simply what the government collects.Each of these columns anticipated weather patterns we're now standing in—proof less of foresight and more of inertia. If 2026 brings more engagement, even without clear solutions, there's hope that next year's retrospective won't feel like a reprint with new dates.Read the 5 Most Relevant Technically Speaking Columns of 2025 This is a public episode.

This Day in Legal History: October ManifestoOn October 30, 1905, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia issued the October Manifesto in response to mounting unrest and revolutionary fervor sweeping the Russian Empire. The 1905 Revolution had erupted earlier that year following the Bloody Sunday massacre, in which unarmed protesters were gunned down by imperial guards. Strikes, peasant revolts, and mutinies within the military and navy intensified public pressure for reform. The October Manifesto promised several liberalizing measures: the creation of a legislative Duma (parliament), expansion of civil liberties including freedom of speech, assembly, and conscience, and a commitment that no law would be enacted without the Duma's consent.Though revolutionary factions remained skeptical, the manifesto temporarily quelled widespread unrest and led to the formation of Russia's first constitutional structure. It marked the first time autocratic power in Russia was publicly limited by law, at least in theory. However, the tsarist regime maintained significant control: Nicholas retained the right to dissolve the Duma at will and manipulate election laws. Conservative forces viewed the manifesto as a concession made under duress, while radicals criticized it as too limited and unenforceable.The October Manifesto also split opposition forces. Some liberals, known as Octobrists, supported working within the new constitutional framework. Others, including the Bolsheviks and Socialist Revolutionaries, dismissed the document as a façade and continued to push for broader revolution. In legal terms, the manifesto introduced the concept of legislative consent into Russian governance, establishing a precedent for popular representation in lawmaking. Although the Duma's actual power remained constrained, the October Manifesto set the stage for future political conflicts that would culminate in the Russian Revolutions of 1917.The Trump administration's recent approvals for oil and gas leasing in Alaska and road development projects are drawing scrutiny from environmental groups, who say the decisions were made opaquely during a government shutdown, limiting their ability to challenge them in court. These projects include reopening leasing in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), issuing permits for the 211-mile Ambler Road to mining sites, and approving a controversial land exchange to allow road construction through the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge wilderness. Environmental attorneys argue that key documents and analyses justifying these decisions remain unavailable, complicating legal strategies.The Interior Department, operating with a reduced staff, has only offered links to decision documents, providing little insight into environmental protections or regulatory compliance. Although these projects have been previously contested in court, the lack of transparency surrounding the latest approvals hinders further action. Some legal experts suggest potential conflicts of interest—such as the U.S. acquiring a stake in a company tied to the Ambler Road—could be grounds for future lawsuits. Additionally, the Izembek land swap may face legal challenges for bypassing required congressional approval.Environmental Groups Challenged in Fighting Trump's Alaska MovesThree former Morgan Stanley financial advisers are suing the U.S. Department of Labor over a recent advisory opinion that they argue unlawfully shields the bank from arbitration claims related to unpaid deferred compensation. Filed in Manhattan federal court, the lawsuit alleges that the Labor Department's September 9 finding—that Morgan Stanley's deferred compensation plan does not qualify as an employee benefit pension plan under ERISA—conflicts with two prior court rulings that said it does.The plaintiffs, Steve Sheresky, Jeffrey Samsen, and Nicholas Sutro, say the opinion was “arbitrary and capricious” and would undermine their efforts, and those of other former employees, to arbitrate claims over canceled or unpaid compensation. They also claim Morgan Stanley is already using the Labor Department's stance to dismiss ongoing claims and seek reimbursement of legal costs.Though Morgan Stanley is not a defendant in the suit, the plaintiffs argue the agency overstepped its authority and are asking the court to revoke the advisory opinion under the Administrative Procedure Act. The case, Sheresky et al v. U.S. Department of Labor, raises broader questions about administrative agencies issuing legal interpretations that can influence private litigation outcomes without proper judicial or legislative review.Former Morgan Stanley advisers sue US Labor Department | ReutersEli Lilly has announced a new partnership with Walmart to offer its weight-loss drug Zepbound at discounted, direct-to-consumer prices through Walmart pharmacies nationwide. This marks the first time customers using the LillyDirect platform can pick up the medication in person at a retail location. The lowest dose of Zepbound will be available for $349 per month for self-paying patients.The move is part of Lilly's broader strategy to expand access and boost market share in the competitive obesity drug space, currently valued at around $150 billion. Zepbound competes directly with Novo Nordisk's Wegovy, but recent data suggests Lilly has pulled ahead in prescriptions, despite Novo's earlier market entry.Lilly reported that around 35% of Zepbound prescriptions in Q2 came from cash-paying customers using LillyDirect. Both Lilly and Novo have also made their weight-loss drugs available through various telehealth platforms, further expanding patient access.Lilly, Walmart launch first retail pick-up option for weight-loss drug | ReutersA piece I wrote for Forbes earlier this week looks at the escalating tensions surrounding digital services taxes (DSTs), with France once again moving to raise its DST—from 3% to 15%—primarily targeting U.S. tech giants like Google, Meta, and Amazon. The U.S. has responded with familiar threats of tariffs and trade retaliation, repeating a now well-worn pattern of diplomatic pushback without addressing the underlying issue. That issue is structural: the global tax framework was built around physical presence, but today's digital economy allows companies to generate profits in countries where they have no offices, employees, or infrastructure.As frustration builds in countries watching tech firms reap profits without corresponding local tax contributions, DSTs have become a tool to reclaim taxing rights. In response, nearly 140 countries have worked through the OECD to build a two-pillar international solution. Pillar One aims to reallocate taxing rights based on where users are located; Pillar Two introduces a global minimum tax. Yet, while other countries move forward, the U.S. continues to resist fully embracing Pillar One—out of concern for political optics and revenue loss.That resistance is counterproductive. By refusing to commit to a multilateral framework, the U.S. is guaranteeing the very outcome it opposes: a fragmented global tax landscape where each country sets its own rules. The current whac-a-mole strategy—reacting to every unilateral move with threats—offers no long-term protection for U.S. companies and only heightens global instability. It's time for the U.S. to stop playing defense and help finalize a framework that reflects the realities of the digital economy.Whac-A-Mole Taxation Battles Will Persist Without A Global Deal This is a public episode.

The world will have to listen to AfricaWaihiga Mwaura speaks to Botswana's President Duma Boko about his plans to reinvigorate the economy, taking greater control of the country's diamond reserves, but also diversifying its mining and other sectors. Currently facing hefty tariffs from the US, he claims to be close to securing a tariff-free deal for Botswana's diamonds at least. But President Boko also has a vision of a reinvigorated Africa, a continent that works together to become a formidable economic force, where its own people reap the benefits of its rich resources. Africa, he says, is rising. Duma Boko, a human rights lawyer who was educated at Harvard, helped to create the party he leads, the Umbrella for Democratic Change. His victory in the 2024 presidential election, at his third attempt, finally ousted the Botswana Democratic Party from power after almost 60 years.

Brain Talk | Being Patient for Alzheimer's & dementia patients & caregivers
Scientists are still searching for effective treatments for neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's, ALS, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). In his pioneering research, neurosurgeon Dr. Christopher Duma is testing whether stem cell therapy can effectively treat these diseases. Duma is medical director of Hoag Memorial Presbyterian Hospital's Brain Tumor Program in Newport Beach, California and president and founder of Regeneration Biomedical, which develops stem cell therapies for neurological disorders. He recently completed Phase 1 of its clinical trial, a first-in-human approach that delivers a patient's own fat-derived stem cells directly into the brain's ventricles to target neurodegenerative diseases.In this interview with Being Patient's Mark Niu, Duma discusses how the trial is progressing. He explains the approach, shares Phase 1 safety results with encouraging early signals in biomarkers and cognition, and outlines a Phase 2 trial that will test effectiveness in a larger group of participants with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. Phase 2 of the study calls for injections every two months with regular scans and laboratory tests, aiming to show whether this therapy could expand care options for people living with neurodegenerative disease.—-If you loved listening to this Live Talk, visit our website to find more of our Alzheimer's coverage and subscribe to our newsletter: https://www.beingpatient.com/Follow Being Patient: Twitter: https://twitter.com/Being_Patient_Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beingpatientvoices/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beingpatientalzheimersLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/being-patientBeing Patient is an editorially independent journalism outlet for news and reporting about brain health, cognitive science, and neurodegenerative diseases.

Zjuganov kommunista pártja nyerte az 1995-ös Duma-választást, Zjuganov maga pedig az óriási médiaellenszélben szűk második lett a semmiből visszahozott Jelcin mögött az 1996-os elnökválasztáson. 33:40 Jelcin táncoltatták. Trump magától táncol. 35:37: A szövegben az 1995-ös orosz elnökválasztás hangzik el, valójában az elnökválasztás 1996-ban volt, 1995-ben parlamenti (Duma-)választások voltak. 39:30 Elon Musk és Lázár, a fehérbohócok. 44:00 A mesterséges intelligencia fejlesztésén múlik a világ valódfi sorsa, az ukrán háború senkit sem érdekel.

Ez már nem a liberalizmus és illiberalizmus harca, hanem a világhegemóniáért folyó küzdelem. A technofeaudalizmus kísértete. Ha választani kéne alkotmányos monarchia és illiberális demokrácia között… 107:00 Rendszerváltó hangulat Budapesten. Hol vagyunk már vízágyútól, gumibottól?

Dr. Chris Duma, President and Founder of Regeneration Biomedical, is developing stem cell therapies to treat neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, ALS, and multiple sclerosis. Their approach involves directly injecting the patient's stem cells into the brain ventricles to stimulate the brain's innate stem cells to repair and replace damaged neurons. Current clinical trials are showing promising results and, notably, minimal side effects compared to other Alzheimer's drugs. Chris explains, "So our focus is to treat the full disease and make a difference in the disease's progression. The way the disease presents itself and the way that the disease is actually cured. The focus until now has been to target particular areas of abnormality in patients' brains. Those with Alzheimer's disease, as we know, have plaques in the brain, and they have tangles in the brain. Alzheimer's disease was discovered or invented by a pathologist in the early 1900s. When they sliced the brain of an Alzheimer's patient, they found these abnormal collections of protein, and they called them plaques and tangles. The target of most research and most treatments have been monoclonal antibodies to these plaques and tangles. And we at Regeneration Biomedical do not necessarily feel that that is the cause of the problem. We think that they're the end product of cell death. So, what you need to do is fix the problem from the origin, and there might be nothing other than a stem cell that could do that. So that is our trajectory, and that's where we are today." "We had rogue stem cell clinics out there that were giving stem cells for every possible disease, and patients were lured to places like Mexico, Germany, and China to get very expensive stem cell treatments that were probably completely worthless. The difference between them and us is that we're an FDA-cleared trial. We have gone to the FDA to do this and believe me, you are right, the FDA opening up their arms to stem cells is absolutely brand new. We're actually one of the newest kids on the block who can do this. What we're doing with our stem cells, which is directly injecting them into the brain, which we can discuss later, is the first in the world. We're at that threshold now that the FDA is probably looking more and more into this and more and more into personalized medicine. And that's what this falls into the category of as well." #RegenerationBiomedical #AlzheimersDisease #AlzheimersResearch #RegenerativeMedicine #StemCellTherapy #NeurodegenerativeDiseases #MedicalInnovation regenerationbiomedical.com Listen to the podcast here

“Tug at my jacket – tell me what needs to be done.”Later today, Botswana's newly-elected president, Duma Boko, will be inaugurated in Gaborone – but he still found time this week for a discussion of his agenda with Africa Daily's Mpho Lakaje.In a wide ranging discussion he talks about signing a new deal with global diamond giant De Beers, how he wants to help people to become entrepreneurs, and why he wants to grant permits to undocumented Zimbabweans to make the system more ‘orderly' and to allow Batswana to acquire more skills.He also argues that politicians need to be more accessible if they are to do their jobs.
Since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas last year, the cry “From the River to the Sea” has been heard more and more as a pro-Palestinian slogan. But what river? What sea? And what exactly does the phrase mean? It's the subject of intense controversy. In this two-part series, reporter Tim Whewell travels from the River Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea, across a tiny stretch of land – just over an hour by car if you don't stop - that's perhaps the most argued-over in the world. Along the way, he meets shepherds and teachers, soldiers and gardeners, artists and activists - Palestinians and Israelis of many different views and backgrounds. The shortest line from the River to the Sea doesn't pass through Gaza. But everyone Tim meets on his journey across the Israeli-occupied West Bank of the River, and in Israel, is living in the terrible shadow of the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel and the war that's followed. The future of the often-beautiful, fast-changing, overcrowded region he crosses will be at the heart of any eventual solution to the Middle East conflict. In this first programme, he goes from the Jordan, through the Israeli settlement of Argaman, the Palestinian herding community of al-Farisiyah and the Palestinian village of Duma, ending up at the Israeli settlement of Shilo. What do people in those places think now – and do they have any hope for the future? (In Part 2, Tim leaves the West Bank and travels through Israel.)
