Escalating

“Migration is grace,” says UCLA professor Robert Chao Romero, author of Brown Church: Five Centuries of Latina/o Social Justice, Theology, and Identity. In this episode, he joins Mark Labberton to discuss the immigration crisis through stories from Southern California, theology of migration, and the challenge of Christian nationalism for the American response to the immigration crisis we face. Romero narrates heartbreaking accounts of ICE raids, racial profiling, and dehumanization, while also offering hope rooted in scripture and the early church. He points out the “Xenodochias” of the ancient and medieval church that cared for migrants. And he shows how biblical narratives—from Abraham to Jesus—reveal God's mercy in migration. Romero calls Christians to see the image of God in migrants, resist the “Latino threat narrative,” and reclaim the church's historic role in welcoming the stranger. Episode Highlights “Migration is grace. … You wouldn't have a Bible without migration.” “Jesus lived and died as an outsider in solidarity with all outsiders, and he rose to new life among outsiders.” “The gospel is an outward pushing invitation… it is the pushing out actually into the far and remote places of suffering in need.” “This level of targeting of the Latino community has not happened since 1954 and Operation Wetback.” “We think that crossing the US border is like crossing the Jordan into the promised land, and we're baptized into the Yankee Doodle song.” Helpful Links and Resources Brown Church by Robert Chao Romero UCLA César E.

HEADLINE: US Fiscal Crisis and the Politics of Debt GUEST NAME: Veronique de Rugy SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Veronique de Rugy about the federal budget impasse and America's escalating debt crisis. The government has been operating solely on borrowed money since September 21, adding $2 trillion annually to the debt. Both parties avoid addressing fundamental fiscal problems through continuing resolutions that extend previous spending levels. Republicans claim fiscal responsibility while adding to the debt, and Democrats leverage shutdown threats to expand Obamacare subsidies. De Rugy argues that only entitlement reform of Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security can solve the crisis, along with ending private sector subsidies and reducing federal involvement in state affairs

In this week’s episode of Political Contessa, Jennifer welcomes Boston City Councilor Ed Flynn. Ed has represented District 2 since 2018 and previously served as City Council President from January 2022 to January 2024, acting as the "backup mayor" when the mayor is unavailable. As part of a historic Boston political family, Ed is the son of former mayor Raymond Flynn and has dedicated much of his career to public service, including more than 20 years in the US Navy. Known for his advocacy on safety, fiscal responsibility, and quality-of-life issues, Ed is widely respected for his tenacity, focus on local concerns, and steadfast commitment to Boston neighborhoods. Jennifer and Ed dive into the seismic shift on the Boston City Council, examining the transition from moderate to more radical approaches and their impact on key city issues. This episode highlights Ed Flynn's outspoken critiques of council priorities, including the neglect of local public safety, rising property taxes, and lawless city streets, in favor of national and international causes. Ed calls out open drug use, lawlessness in bike and scooter transit, challenges with affordable housing, and contentious regulations that drive away developers. The discussion also covers the dangers facing city residents, including alarming incidents in neighborhoods such as Beacon Hill and the Boston Common, as well as ongoing battles over support for the Boston Police Department. Throughout, controversial topics surface, including resistance from council colleagues to enforce basic laws and the struggle to refocus attention on the core responsibilities of city government. "Boston is like the wild, wild west; we just can't allow anyone to do what they want to do in the city just because they feel like it." ~Ed Flynn This week on Political Contessa: The transformation of the Boston City Council from moderate to radical ideology Neglect of neighborhood services, safety, and infrastructure in favor of national issues Escalating open drug use and distribution of over 80,000 needles monthly Public safety crises, including lawlessness, human trafficking, and frequent break-ins Declining support for and staffing of the Boston Police Department Impact of increased property taxes and regulatory challenges on housing and affordability Unregulated bike lanes and scooter use are worsening city safety and public frustration Persistent calls from Ed Flynn and allies for a return to local, constituent-focused governance Connect with Ed Flynn: XCity Councilor Ed Flynn Official PageEd for Boston Official Campaign Website Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

How can you apply horror ideas to action and comedy? In this episode Chas, Stu and guest Kim Ho continue their exploration into the power(s) of antagonism and how focusing on them can develop story. While Part 1 looked at the horror film SINNERS, in Part 2 we venture into genres beyond horror with the action-thriller REBEL RIDGE, and the comedy classic  MEET THE PARENTS. To both these films we apply the generative story framework TOMBS* (Transgression - Omens - Manifestation - Banishment - Slumber)  and are surprised at just how well it maps. *TOMBS comes from the MOTHERSHIP sci-fi horror table-top role-playing game. Which we love. We explore how TOMBS, and thinking about antagonism in general, allows writers to deepen their understanding of their characters, their relationship of the heroes with the antagonists, and generate story fuel in a way that escalates the story. We discuss how thinking of your hero as the horror for your villains helps everything become more dynamic. Oh, and we talk about launching an actual play podcast. Which is happening. Stay tuned!

One of the most common questions I get from betrayed partners: "Todd, do I need to separate from my partner to get clarity? Do I need to separate to have self-dignity?" And I completely understand why people ask this.When you discover infidelity, your nervous system goes into shock. You can't think straight. You're so agitated by your partner's presence that all you want to do is cry or hit or scream. And here's what I know for sure: you cannot go back to business as usual like nothing happened. That would be betraying yourself.In this episode, I talk about the different types of separation that can help you heal - physical, emotional, and sexual - and why most couples I work with don't physically separate but still need space in some form.In this episode, you'll hear:• Why going back to "business as usual" is actually betraying yourself • How infidelity shocks your nervous system and why you need to calm down first • The difference between physical, emotional, and sexual separation • Why most couples don't physically separate but still heal successfully • How to set clear rules if you do decide to separate temporarily • The hyper-attachment and hypersexual response that some people have after betrayal • Why you might need to stop having sex while you heal • How to be your own person instead of acting out of fear of losing them • What healthy separation looks like versus just avoiding your feelingsI share stories from my practice about people who needed different types of space - some went to stay with supportive family, others created emotional boundaries while staying in the same house. The goal is always self-regulation so you can get clarity about what's right for you.And here's something important: if your partner can't handle you taking space to heal - if they threaten to go back to the affair partner because you're not making things nice for them - bye-bye to that person. A truly remorseful partner will support your need to regulate your nervous system.My "Healing Infidelity From the Inside Out" approach isn't about quick fixes. It's about growing through the crisis so you have more options, more maturity, and become healthier individuals.

Why is meaningful discussion between people with different views so rare? I think this is an important and timely question, so I decided to unpack it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, retired Marine Intelligence Officer Hal Kempfer unpacks President Donald Trump's dramatic shift on Ukraine, announced at the UN General Assembly. Just weeks after the Administration alluded that Ukraine might trade land for peace, Trump declared that Russia cannot win this war and that Ukraine could restore its pre-war borders with U.S. and European backing. This stark reversal raises critical questions about what triggered the change—and what it means for Moscow. We explore how Ukraine's drone and missile strikes are crippling Russia's oil and gas infrastructure, sparking fuel shortages in major cities and straining the country's war economy. With Russia's sovereign wealth fund running low and casualties topping 1.1 million, pressure is mounting inside Russia in ways Vladimir Putin cannot ignore. We also examine historical parallels to rapid regime change in Russian history and what this shift might signal for the future of the conflict.Takeaways:· Trump reversed his stance on Ukraine, rejecting land-for-peace deals.· He now argues Ukraine can fully restore its sovereign borders.· NATO allies were urged to shoot down Russian aircraft violating airspace.· Ukraine's drone and missile strikes have crippled Russian energy assets.· Fuel shortages in Moscow highlight war's impact on Russian elites.· Russia's sovereign wealth fund is running dangerously low.· Over 1.1 million Russian casualties have strained the war effort.· Historical precedent shows major Russian regime shifts can come suddenly.#TrumpUkraine #RussiaConflict #UkraineWar #NATOStrategy #Geopolitics #UNGeneralAssembly #GlobalSecurity #PutinCrisis #WarEconomy #EasternEurope #MilitaryAnalysis #EnergyWarfare #DroneStrikes #KremlinPressure #InternationalRelations #USForeignPolicy #STRATPodcast #HalKempfer #MutualBroadcastingSystem #StrategicRiskAnalysis

Power corrupts, and absolute power transforms heroes into the very monsters they swore to destroy. Go Go Loser Ranger masterfully subverts the traditional tokusatsu genre by revealing a dark truth: the beloved Divine Dragon Rangers subjugated the monster invasion years ago, forcing creatures to act as weekly villains to maintain their hero status.Season 2 takes this premise to thrilling new heights as mysterious figures emerge from the shadows. Hwalipon broadcasts forbidden truths about the Ranger Force, while Green Squadron hunts the remaining boss monsters. When Angel Usukubo of the Monster Protection Society is revealed to be half-monster—the daughter of an exiled boss monster—the line between human and monster blurs further. Meanwhile, our protagonist Fighter D continues his infiltration of the Rangers, discovering that his simple mission of vengeance has become hopelessly complicated by human connections.What makes this series exceptional is how it weaves together multiple character motivations for opposing the Ranger Force. Some seek justice, others revenge, while a few harbor world-changing ambitions. The revelation that the Monster Protection Society plans to transform all humans into monsters adds another layer to this morally gray battlefield. Every character feels justified in their actions, leaving viewers constantly questioning who deserves their support.Season 2 delivers a perfect 10/10 experience with its brilliant plot developments, satisfying action sequences, and thought-provoking themes about equality and purpose. It's like the Power Rangers meet The Boys in this twisted world where the heroes seem more villainous than the bad guys. If you're craving a series that challenges conventions while delivering genuine surprises, Go Go Loser Ranger should be at the top of your watchlist.

In this explosive episode, we break down the growing pattern of left-wing violence and lawlessness targeting ICE facilities across the country. From Eugene and Portland, Oregon to Chicago, federal agents are being forced to confront aggressive Antifa and anarchist groups while local police stand down under sanctuary city policies. We examine the dangerous political calculus behind these attacks, the real-life consequences for federal agents and communities, and the escalating tension that could spark wider unrest. This episode explores the dual justice system in action, where some are above the law while others face harsh enforcement, and what it could mean for America's future.

After you discover infidelity, everything changes. The sacred boundary around your couple has been ruptured by secrets, and now you need to rebuild it from the ground up. But what does that actually look like day-to-day?In this episode, I walk you through the specific boundaries that are needed post-discovery so that healing can happen and your relationship can thrive again. And I need to be clear about something right up front: if you're the one who betrayed, you don't get to keep your "privacy rights" anymore. Not now. Maybe later when your partner's nervous system calms down, but right now? Total transparency is the price of rebuilding trust.In this episode, you'll hear:• What boundaries really are and why infidelity violates them so deeply • How secrets rupture the sacred boundary around your couple • Why the betrayer has to go way beyond normal to prove they're safe • The right way to end an affair relationship (hint: your partner needs to witness it) • When changing jobs is necessary for healing • Social media boundaries that actually work after betrayal • Why complete access to phones, computers, and bank accounts is non-negotiable • How to tell real threats from anxiety-driven fears • The difference between being controlled and helping someone feel safeI share a story about a teacher who gave up his job of 25 years at a school where he was highly respected because that's where his affair partner worked. His wife wasn't comfortable with him staying, and he understood. That's the price you sometimes pay to resacralize—make sacred again—the boundary you have with your partner.This isn't about being micromanaged or controlled. It's about helping the person who was betrayed feel safe again. That's what this is all about.My "Healing Infidelity From the Inside Out" approach isn't about quick fixes. It's about growing through the crisis so you have more options, more maturity, and become healthier individuals.

Sean Combs, known to many as Puffy or P Diddy, remains at the center of one of the music industry's most dramatic legal sagas. This week, the hip hop mogul's latest attempt to secure bail was denied yet again by a federal judge, rejecting a $50 million bond offer with strict travel and security restrictions. The judge cited the seriousness of the prostitution-related conviction and evidence of violence, coercion, and subjugation as reasons for keeping Combs behind bars awaiting sentencing. Combs has been incarcerated since his September 2024 arrest. The conviction stems from charges that he forced and manipulated two ex-girlfriends into drug-fueled sex acts involving male sex workers while he filmed them. While he was acquitted of the most severe charges like racketeering and sex trafficking, his current conviction could carry up to ten years in prison. Prosecutors and his legal team remain divided on sentencing guidelines, so the final outcome rests with the presiding judge, who has wide discretion according to AOL News.Meanwhile, new details are making headlines as prosecutors revealed in a superseding federal indictment that Combs' alleged abuse and exploitation spanned two decades. The court documents allege violent episodes, such as dangling a victim over a balcony and threatening multiple women to coerce their participation in so-called “freak-offs”—acts often filmed and reportedly involving drugs. Prosecutors believe Combs used his wealth and power to control his victims, providing financial support and career opportunities and then threatening to withdraw them as punishment for resistance. Federal agents raided his Miami and Beverly Hills homes this spring seizing evidence that included thousands of bottles of baby oil and various drugs. More than 30 civil lawsuits have been filed and fresh criminal accusations keep emerging—from claims of sexual assault of minors to allegations of facilitating sex trafficking, as reported by the New York Daily News and other sources.On the business front, Combs made waves not long ago by regaining full ownership of his iconic Sean John fashion label. After a protracted legal battle and bankruptcy auction, he bought back the brand for $7.5 million, expressing a renewed desire to reshape its legacy and influence in hip hop fashion, as covered by Billboard and Ebony.Amid these mounting cases, Combs faced another courtroom defeat, as a judge dismissed a high-profile assault claim by former Da Band member Sara Rivers, citing statutory time limits. Rivers plans to appeal, hoping for a chance to revive her claims, but for now, Combs' legal troubles—both civil and criminal—show no signs of letting up, according to HOT 97.Thanks for tuning in to the latest updates on Sean Combs.

One of the most painful questions I get asked: "Todd, how do I forgive my partner after they cheated on me?" It feels like a monumental task when you've been so hurt, so tossed around, so dishonored by your partner's secrets.Here's what I want you to know right up front - you don't have to forgive. That's totally up to you. But if you can, it makes you feel better because forgiveness is really about the person forgiving, not the person being forgiven.In this episode, I walk you through the two different paths of forgiveness after infidelity: when you stay with your partner and when you don't. Each path looks different, but both require you to feel the pain before you can let it go.In this episode, you'll hear:• Why you don't have to forgive (but why it might help you) • The two situations where forgiveness makes sense • How to forgive when you're not staying together • What it looks like when a partner is actually safe to forgive • Why infidelity is a symptom, not the core issue • How to talk to the protective part of you that doesn't want to forgive • Living in the world of probability instead of demanding certainty • Why forgiveness is a process, not a one-time eventYou can't let go of pain that you don't feel.

Harry McGee and Cormac McQuinn join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics: · The assassination of the conservative activist and influencer Charlie Kirk on stage at a college campus in Utah on Wednesday is the latest chapter in America's increasingly toxic political climate. A Donald Trump loyalist, Kirk was instrumental in mobilising younger voters during last year's US presidential race. Unfortunately, the threat of violence is present in Irish politics too, with Tánaiste Simon Harris outspoken on the intimidation and bomb threats directed at him and his family.· The urgency with which aspiring independent presidential candidates have sought support is ramping up, with ten Oireachtas members now said to have given commitments to conservative campaigner Maria Steen to nominate her to enter the presidential election. Council nominations are also a viable route for independents but one that is narrowing all the time.· And EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyen's proposal to suspend parts of EU-Israel trade deal could be seen as a significant shift towards the stance Ireland and others have taken as the slaughter in Gaza continues. Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· Javier Milei's right-wing ‘chainsaw revolution' in Argentina, Ireland's shambolic display against Armenia as their World Cup dream dies, and yet another new prime minister as France's political crisis deepens.

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports President Trump wants to fight crime in another city.

Influential people are calling for more political violence - and we should turn away from them and towards each other if we want to survive as a country

Bruce and Gaydos discuss the social media reaction to the political assassination of Turning Point USA Co-founder Charlie Kirk.

Can Democrats and Republicans rise to the occasion after the murder of Charlie Kirk and tone down the rising vitriol of political discourse? Kirk leaves behind a legacy of civil debate with those he disagreed with, but can President Trump and others encourage a more positive way forward without resorting to violence?

Federal authorities began increased immigration-enforcement operations in Chicago, targeting people with criminal records. Time reports. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court ruled that immigration stops in Los Angeles can continue. The Wall Street Journal’s Jess Bravin tells us how the decision is part of a bigger pattern. A key piece of Trump’s law-enforcement takeover in Washington, D.C., is clearing homeless encampments. Marissa Lang, an enterprise reporter at the Washington Post, explains why the administration’s promise of shelter and services to affected people is going largely unfulfilled. KFF Health News reporter Arielle Zionts joins to discuss how rural hospitals are pooling their resources to save money and provide better care. Plus, a birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein with what appears to be Trump’s signature on it was handed over to Congress, Lachlan Murdoch won his family’s succession battle, and how tossing baby puffins off of a cliff can be a good thing. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.

In seven months, Trump has accumulated an astonishing amount of unchecked power. No one inside his administration is challenging his will, and Trump is assuming war powers with barely any explanation—while blacklisting Tom Hanks from West Point. At the same time, in the business world, only one MAGA-friendly hedge fund billionaire has raised mild concerns about the Fed, but top-shelf tech leaders can't thank Trump enough just for existing. But, the resistance is showing up in Chicago and the Dems have a chance to throw their weight around with a potential government shutdown. Plus, Vance is an amazingly succinct liar and the White House Rose Garden has had a Panera patio makeover. Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller. show notes Today's "Morning Shots" Gov.

In this episode infidelity expert Todd Creager discusses one of the hardest questions you're grappling with right now: How do you know when your partner who betrayed you is actually becoming safe again? You thought they were trustworthy before, and then your whole world got turned upside down. I hear this all the time from my couples - "I never thought my partner would be capable of doing that." So how do you recognize real change when you see it? This is such an important question, and I want to share with you what I've learned from working with so many inspiring couples who've walked this healing journey.Here's what you'll discover in this episode:Learn the real reasons why people cheat in the first place - it's not what most people think, and understanding this is crucial for recognizing genuine changeDiscover the specific signs that show your partner is learning to regulate their emotions in healthier ways and why this is the key to lasting transformationUnderstand how true healing looks when your partner starts opening their heart to you more and learning to depend on you in healthy waysFind out why real safety comes when your partner learns to be both uplifted and soothed by YOU instead of seeking that regulation elsewhereGet the concrete behaviors to watch for that indicate your relationship dynamics are genuinely shifting toward deeper connection and trustTodd has seen it happen many times - people who betrayed learning to regulate differently, opening up more, and truly enjoying their partner in ways they never did before. There's no 100% guarantee in life, but there comes a point where there's a very high probability that person will not cheat again. Todd wants to help you recognize what that looks like so you can make the world safer for love.

How do the antagonistic forces in your story escalate distinctly from the protagonists' journey? We often struggle to develop the middle stages of a story. Could this be because we focus  on our protagonists' journeys and plot structure more than on how the antagonistic powers are awakened, wronged, discovered, gathering strength and revealing themselves? In this episode, Chas and Stu are joined by professional screenwriter and playwright Kim Ho to explore how a generative story cycle (from tabletop role-playing game MOTHERSHIP) can be used to develop stories, not just write them better. This cycle is TOMBS: Transgression - Omens - Manifestation - Banishment - Slumber. Kim also contrasts this cycle with the Onset, Discovery, Confirmation, Confrontation cycle identified by horror philosopher Noel Carroll, as well as the philosophy of the FINAL DESTINATION franchise as analysed by The Morbid Zoo. By applying the TOMBS cycle to Ryan Coogler's amazing 2025 original feature SINNERS, we discover how focusing on the rising power of the various sources of antagonism can generate narrative fuel (and make your second Act sing); force your protagonists to Survive, Solve or Save (pick one); and how this escalation in antagonism can be mapped quite separately from your protagonists' character arcs.  To prove that TOMBS does not just work for horror stories, we polled our patreons for which other genres to explore. Stay turned for our next episode where we apply the TOMBS cycle to thriller REBEL RIDGE and comedy classic MEET THE PARENTS.

Plus, members of Congress will soon get their hands on some of the Epstein files, why a vaccine advisory board at the CDC might have been wrongly dismissed, and the transformative power of just sitting and spacing out. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.

Known for his sharp insights on media, identity, and the shape of the American conversation, Dave joins Joe just as he's about to head "off the grid" for a month-long digital detox—making this one of his final interviews before a complete unplug. Together, Tom and Dave dive into the rise of the "woke right," the evolution of right-wing populism, and the complex dynamics fueling extremism on both sides of the aisle. The conversation covers everything from cultural hysteria and the economics behind fear-driven media, to the real-world implications of identity politics and anti-Semitism. They debate narrative control in American society, the comparison of current media figures, and speculate on the deeper economic forces that are shaping today's political climate. If you want a candid look behind the headlines—filled with both black pills and white pills—this episode pulls no punches on what's at stake.
