6. Headline: The Rise of Martin Dies and HUAC Guest Author: James Shapiro Congressman Martin Dies, an ambitious politician from Texas, leveraged the burgeoning medium of radio to attack the Federal Theater Project. As chairman of the first House Un-AmericanActivities Committee, Dies targeted the program by framing its output as communistic and un-American. He exploited public fatigue with relief programs to challenge the popular New Deal policies of President Roosevelt. This political maneuvering culminated in a historic 1938 hearing where Hallie Flanagan defended the role of theater in democracy against accusations of salacious and radical content. (6)

  7. Guest Author: James Shapiro James Shapiro reveals the origins of the House Un-American Activities Committee, involving Samuel Dickstein, a congressman later identified as a Soviet spy. The committee's attack on the Federal Theater was fueled by Hazel Huffman, a disgruntled WPA worker. Huffman provided misleading testimony to Congressman Martin Dies, falsely labeling various plays as communist propaganda. Although Hallie Flanagan was a mainstream FDR supporter, she was smeared without a chance to cross-examine her accusers. Dies successfully exploited emerging media like radio to turn public opinion against the project and its leadership. (7)1923

5. Guest Author: James Shapiro James Shapiro describes the Federal Theater's bold production of *It Can't Happen Here*, which served as a warning against a fascist takeover in America. The play's portrayal of concentration camps and tyranny significantly shifted public opinion regarding the threats posed by Hitler and Mussolini. However, the project faced mounting political opposition. Shapiro introduces Martin Dies, an ambitious Texas congressman who chaired the first House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). Dies targeted the Federal Theater as "low-hanging fruit," accusing it of being communistic to attack FDR's progressive New Deal policies. (5)1921

1. Guest Author: James Shapiro James Shapiro discusses the 1936 premiere of *Macbeth* at Harlem's Lafayette Theater, a landmark integrated event during the Jim Crow era. Shapiro introduces his book, *The Playbook*, detailing the Federal Theater Project's role in American democracy. He highlights Harry Hopkins, FDR's advisor who spearheaded the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Hopkins established "Federal One," a program designed to employ artists, musicians, and writers. Hopkins insisted that professionals, such as violinists, be employed in their specific fields to entertain and serve the public during the Great Depression. (1)1915

8. Guest Author: James Shapiro James Shapiro recounts the 1938 congressional hearings where Hallie Flanagan defended the Federal Theater Project. In a famous exchange, a committee member questioned if Renaissance playwright Christopher Marlowe was a communist. Despite her defense, the project was eventually defunded, leading to a tragic decline in Flanagan's later life. Shapiro also debunks the legend of a "voodoo curse" supposedly placed on critic John Hammond, identifying it as a fabrication by Orson Welles and John Houseman. He concludes that the political tactics used against the arts in the 1930s remain a modern "playbook". (8)1931

4. Headline: Challenging Fascism with Sinclair Lewis Guest Author: James Shapiro When Hollywoodrefused to film Sinclair Lewis's anti-fascist novel *It Can't Happen Here* due to censorship and foreign market fears, the Federal Theater stepped in. Hallie Flanagan secured the rights and staged the production simultaneously in twenty cities, proving that live theater could match the national reach of movies. The play served as a stark warning against the rise of domestic and foreign dictatorships. Despite having to navigate local political sensitivities and avoid accusations of being a "commercial theater" competitor, the production became a massive cultural success. (4)1936 NYC STRIKE GARMENT WORKERS

2. Headline: Developing Talent in Harlem's Negro Unit Guest Author: James Shapiro The Federal Theater Project aimed to develop Black talent by establishing "negro units" across America. The New York unit at the Lafayette Theater was initially led by Broadway star Rose McClendon, who recognized the importance of developing Black actors and directors. She brought in John Houseman, then a struggling administrator, who subsequently recruited a nineteen-year-old Orson Welles to direct his first professional Shakespeare play. This initiative provided revolutionary opportunities for Black performers in an industry where they were previously barred from even working as ushers. (2)1940

1. Headline: The Birth of the Federal Theater Project Guest Author: James Shapiro On April 14, 1936, the Lafayette Theater hosted an integrated crowd for the premiere of an all-Black production of *Macbeth*. This era-defining moment was made possible by the Works Progress Administration under Harry Hopkins, who launched Federal One to employ artists during the Great Depression. Hopkins believed in putting people back to work in fields that suited their skills rather than manual labor. He recruited Hallie Flanagan, an experimental theater professor from Vassar College, to lead the newly formed Federal Theater Project, which eventually reached millions across twenty-nine states.

Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta sexta-feira (20):A possível delação de Daniel Vorcaro já provoca apreensão nos três poderes. Interlocutores do Judiciário, do Congresso e do governo admitem preocupação com o que o banqueiro pode revelar. O acordo avança após assinatura de termo de confidencialidade com a PGR e a Polícia Federal. Aliados do ministro André Mendonça afirmam que o relator do caso Master não aceitará uma delação parcial de Daniel Vorcaro. Segundo interlocutores, ele pretende investigar todos os envolvidos, inclusive ministros, e rejeita transformar o processo em um espetáculo. O caso aumenta a tensão no STF. O governo Lula demonstra preocupação com possíveis delações envolvendo o caso Banco Master e fraudes no INSS. Investigações da Polícia Federal apontam conexões com políticos e empresários, aumentando a tensão nos bastidores de Brasília. O avanço dos acordos pode ampliar o alcance das apurações. A legislação endurecida pelo pacote anticrime pode impedir que Daniel Vorcaro omita nomes em um eventual acordo de delação premiada. Especialistas apontam que qualquer tentativa de esconder informações ou fazer exigências pode comprometer os benefícios e até inviabilizar o acordo. O caso Master segue sob forte atenção das autoridades. O ministro André Mendonça afirmou que o papel de um juiz não é ser “estrela”, mas agir com responsabilidade e discrição. A declaração foi feita durante evento no Rio de Janeiro e repercutiu nos bastidores do STF, onde o magistrado é visto como contraponto a posturas mais expostas na Corte. O presidente do PL, Valdemar Costa Neto, afirmou que a senadora Tereza Cristina não pretende ser vice em uma eventual chapa com Flávio Bolsonaro. Segundo ele, a ex-ministra quer seguir no Senado, enquanto o partido articula alianças para montar uma chapa competitiva. Você confere essas e outras notícias em Os Pingos nos Is.

Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta quinta-feira (19):Mesmo citados por Daniel Vorcaro, ministros do Judiciário rejeitaram um recuo sugerido pelo presidente do STF, Edson Fachin. A tentativa de reduzir tensões internas não foi bem recebida, e declarações sobre “humildade institucional” geraram incômodo. O episódio expõe divisões na Corte em meio ao escândalo do Banco Master. O senador Carlos Viana (Podemos-MG) criticou decisões de ministros do STF e afirmou que há uma blindagem de investigados no caso Banco Master. Durante entrevista, ele detalhou pontos da investigação e levantou questionamentos sobre a atuação do Judiciário. O tema aumenta a tensão política em Brasília. O ministro André Mendonça autorizou a transferência de Daniel Vorcaro para a Superintendência da Polícia Federal, em Brasília. A decisão elevou a expectativa de um possível acordo de delação premiada, após a defesa do banqueiro iniciar tratativas com as autoridades. O caso Master segue em destaque nos bastidores de Brasília. A Polícia Federal prepara um relatório com nomes de políticos, ministros e autoridades ligados a Daniel Vorcaro. O documento será enviado ao ministro André Mendonça, que poderá decidir pela abertura de um novo inquérito. As informações se baseiam nos dados extraídos de celulares e arquivos do caso Banco Master. O senador Alessandro Vieira afirmou que ministros estariam atuando para travar as investigações do caso Banco Master e garantir impunidade. A crítica veio após decisão que suspendeu a quebra de sigilo de um fundo ligado ao caso. Segundo o parlamentar, essas ações prejudicam a credibilidade do Judiciário e interferem na atuação do Congresso. Levantamento aponta que o governo Lula é o que mais aumentou impostos desde a redemocratização. Foram ao menos 27 medidas que elevaram tributos, ampliando a arrecadação para R$ 2,65 trilhões. Apesar disso, os gastos públicos seguiram acima das receitas, intensificando o debate sobre contas públicas. Você confere essas e outras notícias em Os Pingos nos Is.

Em uma cena raríssima no plenário do Supremo Tribunal Federal, o ministro Gilmar Mendes se emocionou ao sair em defesa do colega Alexandre de Moraes.O "choro" de Gilmar acontece em um momento crítico: a CPMI do INSS acaba de revelar registros telefônicos que mostram Daniel Vorcaro tentando contato desesperado com membros da Corte no exato dia de sua prisão pela Polícia Federal.Papo Antagonista é o programa que explica e debate os principais acontecimentos do dia com análises críticas e aprofundadas sobre a política brasileira e seus bastidores.       O programa traz contexto e opinião sobre os temas mais quentes da atualidade.       Com foco em jornalismo, eleições e debate, é um espaço essencial para quem busca informação de qualidade.       Ao vivo de segunda a sexta-feira às 18h no nosso canal no Youtube.   https://www.youtube.com/@OAntagonista   Apoie o jornalismo independente.

No 3 em 1 desta sexta-feira (20), o destaque foi o empresário Daniel Vorcaro, dono do Banco Master, que assinou nesta sexta-feira (20) um acordo formal de confidencialidade com a PGR e a Polícia Federal, o passo definitivo que viabiliza sua delação premiada. O presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, elevou a tensão diplomática global ao classificar os aliados da Otan como "covardes" durante um pronunciamento na Casa Branca. Dario Durigan assume nesta sexta-feira (20) o Ministério da Fazenda no governo Lula (PT) e afirmou em coletiva de imprensa: “É um trabalho de continuidade”. A mudança ocorre após Fernando Haddad confirmar sua candidatura ao governo de São Paulo em 2026. Durigan destacou que “os desafios não param aqui” ao iniciar sua gestão à frente da economia. O senador Carlos Viana (Podemos-MG), presidente da CPMI do INSS, elevou o tom contra o Judiciário nesta sexta-feira (20). Viana deu o prazo de 48 horas para que o STF compartilhe a lista completa de terminais telefônicos e registros de chamadas que mantiveram contato com o empresário Daniel Vorcaro, dono do Banco Master. O agora ex-ministro da Fazenda, Fernando Haddad (PT), subiu o tom contra o governador Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos), afirmando que o atual gestor "não tem familiaridade com as carências de São Paulo". A transferência estratégica de Daniel Vorcaro, dono do Banco Master, para a Superintendência da Polícia Federal em Brasília alterou completamente o xadrez jurídico do caso. O movimento, autorizado após o início das tratativas de delação premiada, acabou esvaziando o objeto de um recurso pautado pelo ministro Gilmar Mendes (STF), que questionava as condições de detenção do empresário em presídio de segurança máxima. A equipe médica de Jair Bolsonaro encaminhou ao Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) um prontuário detalhado sobre o estado de saúde do ex-presidente, citando complicações decorrentes das cirurgias abdominais realizadas nos últimos anos. Com base no relatório, os advogados de defesa protocolaram um pedido de conversão da prisão preventiva em prisão domiciliar. O cenário político do Rio de Janeiro sofre uma mudança drástica com a renúncia oficial de Eduardo Paes (PSD) à prefeitura da capital. Paes deixa o cargo para se dedicar integralmente à pré-candidatura ao Governo do Estado nas eleições de 2026. Em entrevista exclusiva ao 3 em 1, o professor de Direito Constitucional, Gustavo Sampaio, analisou o impacto institucional da delação premiada de Daniel Vorcaro. Segundo o especialista, o Caso Master tem potencial para se tornar um marco jurídico na história recente da República. Tudo isso e muito mais você acompanha no 3 em 1.

Os deepfakes evoluíram e muito. O que antes era facilmente identificável como falso, hoje já engana até os mais atentos.

The salient point of this morning's briefing revolves around the critical updates related to cybersecurity vulnerabilities that necessitate immediate attention from emergency managers. Specifically, the recently released CISA's Kev Catalog highlights two newly listed exploited vulnerabilities: Microsoft SharePoint CVE 2263, with a remediation deadline of March 20, and Zimbra Collaboration Suite CVE 22566376, due by April 1. It is imperative that organizations actively monitor these additions, prioritize patch mitigation for Internet-facing collaboration platforms, and validate compensating controls in situations where patching may be delayed. Additionally, we address the security alert issued by the US embassy for Iran, urging organizations with personnel in the region to ensure their communication plans are up-to-date. Lastly, updates from various states include ongoing wildfire responses in Nebraska and a public health advisory regarding a measles outbreak in Nevada, emphasizing the necessity for vaccination and infection control measures.Takeaways:* On March 18, 2026, CISA released updates regarding newly identified vulnerabilities requiring immediate remediation.* Emergency managers must prioritize patching of collaboration platforms to enhance cybersecurity measures effectively.* Organizations with personnel in Iran should maintain updated communication plans and ensure travel safety measures are in place.* The Nebraska Governor's Office is actively addressing the impacts of wildfires through community engagement and assessments.* A public health advisory in Nevada emphasizes the importance of vigilance regarding measles outbreaks and vaccination efforts.* All other states reported no significant updates, indicating a period of relative stability in emergency management activities.SourcesCISA / KEVCISA KEV data (released 2026-03-18) — SharePoint CVE-2026-20963 & Zimbra CVE-2025-66376 added; due dates listedTravel / SecurityU.S. Embassy Iran — Security Alert: Iran (March 18, 2026 update)NebraskaNebraska Governor — March 18 update: Tour Cottonwood Fire & visit Brady community (acreage/containment noted)AP — Nebraska wildfire fight continues; scale/containment contextNevadaSouthern Nevada Health District — Public Health Advisory 03/18/2026: Measles outbreaks update (vigilance & vaccination) This is a public episode.

Lawmakers urge swift action as growers confront mounting losses.

As We The People are distracted once again by events beyond our borders and beyond our control, the expansion of the domestic surveillance state is growing and integrating at levels never before seen. Over a course of years, the Unites States has quietly assembled one of the most comprehensive civilian surveillance infrastructures in the democratic world. With global wars to train new Ai's, new levels of Federal funding and the fear of domestic terror, the systems pieces from County, to State, to Federal are all being integrated to create a massive digital gulag.  #BardsFM_Morning #SurveillanceState #Technocracy Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%: www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.

President Trump has signed new executive orders aimed at improving housing affordability by addressing both supply and mortgage lending. Federal agencies are being directed to review regulatory barriers that may be slowing home construction and limiting access to credit for qualified buyers. In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down what these housing executive orders actually do—and what they don't. Plus, how changes to permitting, development costs, and mortgage access could impact real estate investors if implemented.

Legislative season is underway, and we're seeing a wave of proposals that could significantly reshape the operating environment for nonprofits and advocacy organizations. We're tracking over 1,000 bills across the country, and while some of them do positive things, like make improvements to our electoral system or increase voter turnout, unfortunately, most of these measures are taking aim at impactful nonprofit advocacy. These proposals collectively reflect an erosion of the civic space in the nonprofit ecosystem. We're here to break down some of the key trends and help you stay informed about emerging twists in compliance.   Attorneys for this episode Maggie Ellinger-Locke Susan Finkle Sourlis Natalie Roetzel Ossenfort   Shownotes   Federal Legislation   ·      The SAVE Act would require voter registration applicants to provide documentary proof of US citizenship and impose strict photo ID rules to vote in federal elections. ·      Federal law is already clear that only US citizens are permitted to vote in federal elections. ·      This legislation could disproportionately impact voters of color, married people who have changed their last names, and low-income voters.     State Legislation   ·      So far, we've seen over 150 bills filed in at least half the states, that seek to impact the voting process. Georgia's SB 586 proposes sweeping changes to state elections including early voting. Under current law voters are permitted to cast their ballot at any polling location in their county during the early voting period. But if this bill becomes law, voters would be restricted to just one polling location. In West Virginia, SB 90 would prohibit voters not affiliated with a major political party from voting in a primary election. In Kansas, HB 2438 would prohibit online voter registration unless a website uses a .gov domain or is explicitly approved by the secretary of state. Corporate Power Reset movement: The goal of this movement is to create an end run around supreme court precedent like Citizens United and Buckley v Valeo[NO1] [ME2] [SS3]  by prohibiting all corporate, whether for profit or nonprofit, engagement with elections.[SS4] [ME5]  ·      Restricting foreign influence on ballot measure campaigns: Federal law already bans foreign national contributions to candidate campaigns, but these bills are seeking to extend the restrictions further, narrowing the funding landscape for direct democracy. o   During the 2026 state legislative sessions, we've seen 39 bills introduced in twenty states that would restrict foreign contributions to ballot measure campaigns. o   Some focus narrowly on majority foreign-owned businesses, but many target individuals and ballot question committees. These bills often require affirmative certifications that no foreign national funding is involved in an organization's ballot measure advocacy. Baby FARA bills: At the federal level, the Foreign Agents Registration Act was enacted in 1938 to counter Nazi propaganda. It requires individuals or entities acting "at the order, request, or under the direction or control" of a foreign principal to register with the Department of Justice and file detailed disclosures. Historically, FARA has been applied in relatively specific circumstances, primarily lobbying or political work directly tied to foreign governments. State-level analogues, however, are often drafted much more broadly. These proposals could sweep in a wide range of advocacy activities and impact organizations engaged in international solidarity movements. Terrorism: US law only allows foreign groups to be labeled as foreign terrorist organizations. And new policy directs federal law enforcement agencies to "investigate and disrupt networks, entities, and organizations" that have views in contravention to the president's. This type of legislation is now making its way to the states. In Florida, lawmakers are pushing several bills, such as HB 1471, SB 1632, and SB 1634, would dramatically expand the state's power to designate organizations as "domestic terrorist organizations." o   The bills broaden the definition of domestic terrorism, using sweeping language about activities intended to "influence the policy of a government" or "affect the conduct of government," terms that could be interpreted expansively. o   Once designated, an organization could have its funds frozen, be barred from receiving state contracts or funding, and expose its staff, donors, and supporters to criminal liability for providing "material support."   Hopeful Legislation:   ·      In Georgia, lawmakers are considering a bill that would expand student protest rights, excusing absences for classes missed due to protest attendance. ·      In Missouri, HB 1871 extends the "no excuse" absentee voting period from two weeks to four.   Resources Public Charities Can Lobby (Factsheet) Being a Player: A Guide to IRS Lobbying Regulations for Advocacy Charities Practical Guidance: What Nonprofits Need to Know about Lobbying in Your State

A new Office of Personnel Management hub for shared human resources services is open for business, the agency announced Tuesday. In a memo to federal agency leaders, OPM Director Scott Kupor said the HR Shared Service Center aims to “reduce fragmentation” within the government and allow agency staff to focus on their mission rather than administrative work. Per the memo, that new center provides a “comprehensive” suite of functions, such as benefits management, payroll administration, performance management, recruitment, training, and workforce planning. Using those services is voluntary for agencies and is a fee-for-service model. At least eight federal entities have already indicated they will make the transition, per the memo. Those include the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Office of Government Ethics, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The announcement is the latest development in the Trump administration's broader push to consolidate HR services across the government. That plan, called “Federal HR 2.0,” aims to create a single personnel management platform for the federal government as a way to save money and reduce duplicative systems. The Federal Aviation Administration is gathering information from potential private-sector partners to inform the buildout of its defenses against cyber and quantum threats, according to documents published this month. The cybersecurity-focused market survey and quantum-related request for information are targeting the systems at the core of the Department of Transportation component's multiyear, multibillion dollar modernization initiative: the National Airspace System and Air Traffic Control. The FAA is looking for vendors that could improve its information security and operations, such as penetration testing, vulnerability evaluations and incident response coordination among other tasks. The scope of the project also includes assessing the current NAS cybersecurity posture to identify capability gaps, test emerging tech tools and recommend improvements. The DOT component is also planning to move its NAS, ATC and IT systems infrastructure to post-quantum cryptography, a concept centered around mitigating attacks from future quantum computers by adopting new encryption methods. “Without quantum‑resistant, crypto‑agile security, the NAS cannot achieve the reliability, performance, or international leadership required in the decades ahead,” the FAA said in its RFI published last week. “FAA therefore views PQC not as a compliance exercise, but as a foundational enabler of modernization — one that must be embedded into every vendor solution, every system upgrade, and every step of the Brand New Air Traffic Control System.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta terça-feira (17):Ministros do Supremo Tribunal Federal discutem a criação de um código de conduta interno em meio à pressão do caso Banco Master e às citações envolvendo Daniel Vorcaro. A proposta levanta críticas por permitir que os próprios magistrados definam as regras que irão seguir. O senador Carlos Viana afirmou que mensagens enviadas por Daniel Vorcaro ao ministro Alexandre de Moraes teriam sido direcionadas a um número funcional do Supremo Tribunal Federal. A informação levanta questionamentos sobre o uso do telefone oficial e levou o parlamentar a defender o afastamento para investigação do caso. O Partido dos Trabalhadores mudou a estratégia e passou a associar o caso Banco Master ao governo de Jair Bolsonaro. A movimentação marca uma ofensiva eleitoral diante do avanço das investigações e da disputa política. A Polícia Federal apontou que Alessandro Stefanutto, ex-presidente do INSS, teria recebido cerca de R$ 4 milhões em um esquema de descontos ilegais. As investigações também indicam envolvimento de outras autoridades. Caminhoneiros de diferentes estados articulam uma possível paralisação nacional após a alta do diesel, impulsionada pela escalada de conflitos no Oriente Médio. A mobilização pode ocorrer nos próximos dias e preocupa o setor de transportes.O presidente do PL, Valdemar Costa Neto, defendeu o nome de Tereza Cristina como vice ideal para Flávio Bolsonaro em 2026.

O ministro André Mendonça, do Supremo Tribunal Federal, decidiu por conta própria suspender o acesso ao material da CPI do INSS sobre o banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro. A medida não foi pedida por investigados nem pela PGR. Segundo apuração, a decisão foi motivada por risco de vazamentos, inclusive de conteúdos íntimos.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports Luigi Mangione's lawyers seek to delay his state and federal trials in the killing of United Healthcare's CEO.

No 3 em 1 desta quarta-feira (18), o destaque foi o Brasil que volta a viver o fantasma de uma paralisação nacional. Lideranças de caminhoneiros autônomos se reuniram nesta quarta-feira (18) para votar o indicativo de greve após o preço do diesel subir 18% em menos de um mês. Em meio à escalada de preços causada pelo conflito entre EUA e Irã, o Governo Lula (PT) apresentou uma proposta emergencial aos governadores: a isenção total do ICMS sobre o diesel. A medida visa frear o impacto do reajuste de 18% no combustível e desarmar a ameaça de uma greve nacional de caminhoneiros. O Pentágono admitiu nesta quarta-feira (18/03/2026) que, apesar da intensidade dos bombardeios americanos, a estrutura de comando e controle do regime do Irã permanece "intacta". A CPMI do INSS deu um passo decisivo nas investigações do Caso Master ao aprovar a convocação da empresária e ex-noiva de Daniel Vorcaro, dono do banco. A decisão ocorre após o vazamento de diálogos comprometedores que sugerem que a ex-companheira possuía detalhes sobre a rede de influência de Vorcaro em Brasília. O Caso Master entra em uma fase crítica com a possibilidade real de uma delação premiada que pode abalar os Três Poderes. O novo advogado de Daniel Vorcaro, reuniu-se com o ministro André Mendonça (STF) e com a cúpula da Polícia Federal nesta terça e quarta-feira (18). O Diretor-Geral da Polícia Federal, Andrei Rodrigues, subiu o tom nesta quarta-feira (18/03/2026) ao comentar os desdobramentos do Caso Master. Em declaração contundente, Rodrigues afirmou que a corporação "não será intimidada" por tentativas de interferência política ou pelo vazamento de dados sigilosos. O senador e presidente do PP, Ciro Nogueira, subiu o tom para rebater as suspeitas que o ligam ao escândalo do Banco Master. Em declaração nesta quarta-feira (18), o parlamentar afirmou que renunciará imediatamente ao seu mandato caso surja qualquer prova concreta de irregularidade. O senador Carlos Viana (Podemos-MG), presidente da CPMI do INSS, fez um duro pronunciamento nesta quarta-feira (18) contra o que chamou de "interferência indevida" do Judiciário no Legislativo. A reação ocorre após o ministro Gilmar Mendes (STF) conceder um habeas corpus que desobriga a empresária Leila Pereira, presidente do Palmeiras e da Crefisa, de prestar depoimento à comissão como investigada.

No “Estadão Analisa” desta quarta-feira, 17, Carlos Andreazza fala sobre o clima de “delação do fim do mundo” na Praça dos Três Poderes. Para sair da prisão, o dono do Banco Master, Daniel Vorcaro, já negocia uma colaboração premiada e, de acordo com informações que chegaram ao Palácio do Planalto, pretende puxar o PT e o governo Lula para o escândalo. Até agora as investigações do caso Master atingiram em cheio o Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), além de políticos e presidentes de partidos do Centrão. Respingaram, ainda, no ministro da Casa Civil, Rui Costa, que era governador da Bahia à época da expansão do banco, e no líder do governo no Senado, Jaques Wagner, seu antecessor à frente do Palácio de Ondina. E no STF, o ministro Gilmar Mendes não pretende acelerar o passo para entregar seu voto no julgamento sobre a prisão de Daniel Vorcaro, do Banco Master. Embora o prazo regimental se encerre nesta sexta-feira, 20, como já há maioria para manter o banqueiro preso, o ministro prioriza a construção de um voto dogmático em detrimento da celeridade. ​Segundo interlocutores, Mendes tem dito nos bastidores que essa decisão transcende a situação individual da prisão de Vorcaro. A tendência, portanto, é que o decano produza uma decisão que sirva de recado à Corte e à Polícia Federal.

The U.S. Department of Energy spends roughly $8 billion annually cleaning up nuclear waste from Manhattan Project-era sites like Hanford, Washington and Oak Ridge, Tennessee. On this episode of the Environmental Transformation Podcast, host Sean Grady sits down with Steve Moore, president and CEO of Veolia Nuclear Solutions Federal Services Group, to discuss the agency's most pressing environmental liabilities and innovative remediation technologies.Moore describes the scale of the challenge: 56 million gallons of high-level radioactive waste currently stored in above-ground tanks at Hanford alone. He explains how Veolia's patented GeoMelt vitrification technology transforms reactive metals and radioactive waste into stable glass, and discusses the company's operations of two of the largest radioactive waste landfills in the nation.The conversation covers emerging opportunities to revitalize federal sites as data centers and advanced reactor facilities, the "competetition" model where contractors collaborate on complex projects, and why the nuclear remediation field offers meaningful careers for young professionals seeking challenging environmental work.

Federal aviation officials are proposing steeper-than-expected limits on flights at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport this summer, aiming to reduce congestion and avoid the widespread delays that plagued travelers last year.

In this episode, Nicnac talks about and reads some of their recent writing. This includes a letter to the State Governors, the Prime Minister of Canada, and some other writings.Should you want to reuse these letters, please feel free to do so. They are included belowRaindrop Rhapsody by Option 42. Used with the artist's permission.The Fools Guide By ⁠Antony Rotunno.⁠ Used with the artist's permission.  Dear Governors,I am writing to express my fears about the Federal Government's poor choices and their devastating effects on our States.The Trump Administration has repeatedly violated the Federal Constitution, ignored judicial rulings, and Congress.  The Trump Administration has also systematically attacked the fragile social safety net that I and others like me rely on for survival. I have no faith that this approach will change. Nor do I have any faith that Congress will impeach and imprison any member of this horrific administration. Finally, I have no faith that Congress will reverse the drastic policies put in place by the barbaric Trump AdministrationThis being the case, I think it's long past time for The States to give the Federal Government an ultimatum; Either give us the funds and services we are entitled to, or we are leaving the union!This may seem extreme and foolhardy, but I see no other option. Obviously, our States can't meet the needs of residents on their own. But maybe if we worked with Canada, other states, and any other interested parties, there may be hope.No matter what you decide, please remember and consider the many poor, disabled transgender and otherwise vulnerable people that live in our States. As a part of this vulnerable population, I am asking for your protection. We are under direct threat from the Federal government. We need housing, medical care, mental health services, and in some cases, much more. We need these vital services now!It is your duty to protect all residents of your state. Please seriously consider this proposal.Sincerely,Nicnac MarshDear Prime Minister Carney,I am a disabled, neurodivergent, and transgender person living in the USA.Although I am a citizen of the United States, I feel unsafe and scared by the rapidly unraveling state of my country. In a last-ditch effort to turn things around, I've sent messages to every State Governor I thought might be open to the idea, requesting that they issue an ultimatum to the US Federal Government along the lines of "Either give us the funds and services we are entitled to, or we are leaving the union!"I sincerely doubt this will be effective, but it seemed like a good step given the Trump Administration's inhuman,  unconstitutional conduct and policy. The US Congress does nothing to effectively combat or control this crisis. The lower courts get ignored, and the Supreme Court is under the Trump Administration's control.So, I feel compelled to seek assistance of any kind from Canada.Please, hear this request and consider it. All across the US, vulnerable people like myself are living in terror. We fear law enforcement breaking down our doors. We fear the lack of due process. We fear dying in a concentration camp or a mental institution. We fear dying in the streets because the Federal Government is too callous to properly house, feed, or provide medical services to us. We fear speaking our minds. We fear being targeted because we are different and vulnerable.Please help us! Do whatever you can. Open your borders to more US refugees. Engage in more diplomacy that helps end Trump's reign of terror. Work with your allies to liberate us.  Help support and protect former US States if they seek independence.Canada seems to be the new leader of the free world. Please step up to help! Take the tired, poor, huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Lift whatever you've got by your borders.Thanks for your time and service. May the free world survive this.Sincerely,Nicnac Marsh
