Timothy Ash, who has been professional economist for more than 30 years, with two thirds of that in the banking industry. Timothy's specialism is emerging European economics, and he writes and blogs extensively on economic challenges for leading publications such as the Kyiv Post, Atlantic Council, the Financial Times, and the United Business Journal. He is also an Associate Fellow in the Russia and Eurasia programme at Chatham House and has advised various governments on Ukraine-Russia policy and specifically on the impact of sanctions.----------Tetyana Nesterchuk is Barrister and Arbitrator at Fountain Court Chambers. She is a UK expert at the Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe, and a vocal Ukrainian in London. Nesterchuk is doing everything in her power to aid Ukraine's fight against Russia's invasion. For Nesterchuk, the war didn't start in 2022. The war began in 2014 when her hometown of Donetsk was overtaken by Russia-backed separatists before eventually being annexed two years ago. Some of her most vital work now centres on the seizure of Russian state assets, the funds from which she hopes can be redistributed to pay for vital services so sorely needed by the embattled Ukrainian population. She acknowledges that she won't be able to save Ukraine alone, but she won't ever stop doing her part to help.----------TETYANA NESTERCHUK LINKS:https://fountaincourt.uk/profile/tetyana-nesterchuk/https://www.linkedin.com/in/tetyana-nesterchuk-a4469a21/https://www.thelawyer.com/microeventpeople/tetyana-nesterchuk/TIMOTHY ASH LINKS:https://timothyash.substack.com/ https://www.chathamhouse.org/about-us/our-people/timothy-ashhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/timothy-ash-83a87158/https://cepa.org/author/timothy-ash/----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------DESCRIPTION:Analyzing the Controversial Ukraine-Russia Peace Plan with ExpertsJoin us in this critical discussion with Timothy Ash and Tetyana Nesterchuk as they delve into the recent developments around the so-called peace negotiation process between the US and Russia. The conversation focuses on the controversial peace plan, suspected to be influenced by Moscow, and its potential implications for Ukraine, Europe, and global security. Timothy Ash, an economist with extensive experience in Ukrainian affairs, and Tetyana Nesterchuk, a barrister and expert in European law, provide their insights on the complexities of the plan, the influence of Russian psychological operations, and the broader geopolitical stakes. They also highlight the importance of Europe leveraging frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine and push back against conceding to Russian demands. This episode emphasizes the urgent need for a principled stance on international law and the decisive action required from European leaders.----------

This year, alongside writing his own book, Tony was gripped by that of another writer - Ian Leslie's ‘John & Paul: A Love Story in Songs'. Tony, who is a lifelong Beatles fan, has invited Ian onto Cunningcast to chat all about The Beatles. In Part 1 of this 3 Part series, Ian and Tony explore how a shared adolescent intensity, mutual trauma, and obsessive love of music forged the unique and complex relationship between John and Paul that fuelled the Beatles's extraordinary innovation. This is audible in songs such as We Can Work It Out and If I Fell, where harmonic complexity reflects their intertwined identities. They trace how the band's early experiences, especially in Hamburg, were transformative, exposing them to avant-garde influences, encouraging them to see themselves as artists, and blending silliness and Dada-like humour, which ultimately helped them discover who they were as a band.

This is a warning signal of trouble, but trouble does not always come. What is fair to say is that Hindenburg Omen signals have appeared at every major stock market top going back several decades. - According to Tom McClellan: The current count of 5 signals is not as big as some other clusters. But we got 4 signals in a cluster at the end of 2021, ahead of the 2022 bear market. So 4 is enough, if the market is inclined to live up to this warning. And 2 signals were enough back in December 2024 and March 2025 to tell us about the trouble in the market which unfolded in the April 2025 tariff reaction minicrash. But 5 is better.

Le cours de l'or a atteint un sommet historique, notamment parce que la Banque centrale de Chine a multiplié ses achats. Avec toujours en tête, la volonté de dédollariser un peu l'économie mondiale. L'or a battu tous les records en 2025. Et depuis le mois d'octobre, son cours a dépassé 4 000 dollars l'once. Et ce sont les achats des banques centrales qui ont soutenu la hausse. Que ce soit par exemple la Banque centrale d'Azerbaïdjan ou du Kazakhstan. Mais Pékin est de loin le premier acheteur. La banque centrale chinoise pourrait, selon certaines sources, avoir acheté dix fois plus d'or qu'elle ne l'a officiellement déclaré. Les analystes de la banque Société générale, interrogés par le Financial Times, estiment que les achats chinois représentent cette année un tiers de la demande mondiale de l'ensemble des banques centrales. Pas moins de 250 tonnes. Contester le dollar Le phénomène s'est accéléré depuis 2022 et le gel des avoirs de la banque centrale russe après l'invasion de l'Ukraine. Le but est à la fois de moins dépendre de la justice occidentale et c'est aussi la preuve de la contestation du dollar comme pierre angulaire du système financier mondial. Ces motivations concernent au-delà de la Chine un grand nombre de pays en développement. L'achat de l'or se fait notamment au détriment des bons du trésor américain. Cela répond à un objectif de dédollarisation des réserves de valeur des banques centrales. Et cela, personne ne veut publiquement l'assumer, surtout avec l'imprévisible Donald Trump à la Maison Blanche. Les banques centrales restent donc discrètes concernant leurs achats. Il y a quatre ans, 90 % d'entre eux étaient rapportés spontanément au Fonds monétaire international (FMI) qui tient les comptes. Aujourd'hui, on estime que seul un tiers des achats est déclaré. Le Cambodge en pionnier Pour aller plus loin, la Chine propose même désormais à ses amis de stocker pour leur compte l'or qu'ils achètent. C'est une information rapportée par l'agence Bloomberg en septembre dernier concernant l'or acheté sur la place de Shanghai. Un service historiquement offert à de nombreux pays : l'Angleterre, la Suisse et les États-Unis. Le Cambodge est le premier pays à avoir accepté pour de futurs achats. Son or sera stocké dans la zone économique de Shenzhen (Shenzhen's bonded warehouses). Pour Pékin, il s'agit tout à la fois de favoriser le développement de sa place financière, d'offrir une alternative aux services occidentaux, et bien sûr au dollar, utilisé partout ailleurs dans le monde pour le commerce de l'or. Pour Phnom Penh, c'est avant tout un geste politique à l'égard de son principal partenaire commercial, qui détient par ailleurs plus de 30 % de la dette du pays.

En de verkopen exploderen. Vijf keer zo veel denken ze te gaan verkopen in de komende vijf jaar. Waar ze afgelopen jaar nog voor 10 miljard euro aan bommen en tanks verkochten, ziet het Duitse defensiebedrijf Rheinmetall dat in 2030 toenemen naar 50 miljard euro. En daarbij gaan ze uit van een aantal scenario's, die niet mals zijn. En die ook nog eens opgesteld zijn in samenwerking met geheime diensten. Wat die zijn en wat dat voor defensie-aandelen betekent, hoor je in deze aflevering. Verder zwaaien we alwéér een AEX-bedrijf uit. AkzoNobel heeft een fusiepartner gevonden in het Amerikaanse Axalta. Samen worden ze een verf- en coatingbedrijf van zo'n 17 miljard dollar. En op termijn moet het dan ook gedaan zijn met de notering in Amsterdam. We zoeken voor je uit of je AkzoNobel straks moet gaan missen. En je hoort over de topman van Google. Zelfs hij heeft het over een mogelijke AI-bubbel. En hij heeft een onheilspellende boodschap. Als die bubbel knapt, gaat iedereen dat voelen. Maar hij vindt al die miljardeninvesteringen dan wel weer geheel terecht.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Le débat autour du rôle d'Alibaba dans les activités de l'armée chinoise a ressurgi après la publication d'un article du Financial Times. Le quotidien britannique affirmait que le géant du commerce en ligne fournirait un appui technique à certaines opérations menées par Pékin contre des cibles américaines. Pour étayer ces accusations, le journal s'appuyait sur une note interne de la Maison-Blanche, bien que ses auteurs reconnaissent ne pas avoir pu vérifier ces éléments de manière indépendante.Selon les allégations relayées dans l'article, Alibaba transmettrait au gouvernement et à l'armée des informations sensibles issues de sa plateforme, notamment des adresses IP et des historiques d'achat d'utilisateurs. Une telle coopération, si elle était avérée, représenterait selon Washington une potentielle menace pour la sécurité nationale américaine. Mais tout reste au stade des affirmations non corroborées et ne repose sur aucune preuve publique.Alibaba a immédiatement contesté ces accusations. Un porte-parole du groupe, interrogé par l'AFP, a qualifié l'ensemble des éléments rapportés de « complètement faux ». L'entreprise estime même que cette affaire serait instrumentalisée dans le cadre d'une campagne de communication hostile, visant à fragiliser le rapprochement commercial engagé récemment entre Donald Trump et Xi Jinping, après plusieurs mois de tensions et de surenchère tarifaire.La Chine a également réagi. Un représentant de l'ambassade chinoise à Washington a rappelé sur le réseau X que Pékin n'avait jamais exigé, ni n'exigerait, que des entreprises collectent ou transmettent des données à l'étranger en contournant les lois locales. Les autorités chinoises affirment régulièrement qu'elles ne forcent pas les entreprises privées, y compris les géants technologiques, à coopérer illégalement avec l'État.Ce climat tendu intervient alors que la rivalité technologique entre les États-Unis et la Chine atteint un niveau inédit. Les deux pays se disputent la domination dans des secteurs stratégiques comme les semi-conducteurs, le cloud et surtout l'intelligence artificielle. Le même jour, la start-up américaine Anthropic a indiqué avoir contré une tentative de cyberespionnage conduite en grande partie par une IA, opération attribuée à un groupe baptisé GTG-1002 et supposé lié à l'appareil étatique chinois.Interrogé sur ces accusations de cyberespionnage et sur le rôle potentiel d'Alibaba, un porte-parole du ministère chinois des Affaires étrangères a déclaré ne pas avoir connaissance de ce dossier. Il a rappelé que Pékin se dit engagé dans la lutte contre les activités de piratage informatique.À ce stade, ni preuve publique ni confirmation officielle ne viennent étayer les affirmations initiales du Financial Times.

Na 14 jaar is het wel mooi geweest voor Tim Cook. Volgens de Financial Times is de zoektocht naar zijn opvolger als CEO van Apple van start. Geen ruzie, of grote fout. Cook is gewoon op pensioengerechtigde leeftijd, en kan dus van zijn verdiensten gaan genieten. Het levert wel een probleem op, want wie oh wie moet in die grote schoenen van hem gaan staan? En wat betekent die keuze voor de toekomst van Apple? Dat bespreken we deze aflevering. Verder hebben we het over de man die al lang met pensioen had moeten zijn, maar dat eindelijk binnenkort maar eens gaat doen. Warren Buffett zat jarenlang op een geldberg van honderden miljarden dollars, maar geeft nu toch weer wat ervan uit. Zijn Berkshire Hathaway steekt een slordige 5 miljard dollar in Alphabet, het moederbedrijf van Google. En dat terwijl het aandeel Alphabet al een enorme stijging achter de rug heeft. Ook hoor je over tech-investeerder Peter Thiel. Die verkoopt juist zijn grootste belang. Gaat om zijn investering in Nvidia. Dat komt woensdag met de kwartaalcijfers, maar daar gaat Thiel niet op wachten. En we vertellen je over Trump die op de knietjes gaat. Hij geeft toe: zijn importheffingen zorgen voor enorme inflatie.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With less than a fortnight to go until the Budget, it seems Rachel Reeves has performed an almighty U-turn. At the beginning of the week, the established consensus in Westminster was that the base rate of income tax would rise, breaking Labour's flagship manifesto pledge. The Chancellor had already rolled the pitch, holding a press conference at which she warned ‘each of us must do our bit'. But the Financial Times – Reeves' newspaper of choice – reports today that she has ‘ripped up' her plans. Why the sudden change of heart?Oscar Edmondson speaks to James Heale and Tim Shipman.

Een derde van de waarde is verloren gegaan sinds de piek van het aandeel Oracle in september. Toen explodeerde de koers nog na een deal met OpenAI. Dat ging voor 300 miljard dollar aan clouddiensten afnemen, en daar waren beleggers nogal blij mee. Maar in de afgelopen weken lijken ze van gedachten veranderd. Er is wat twijfel geweest over de hoge waarderingen van techaandelen, er is wat gesnoeid in die waarderingen ook. En Oracle komt er niet best uit: die daalt het hardst van allemaal. Zijn ze de enige, of de eerste die het te verduren krijgen? Het antwoord op die vraag hoor je in deze aflevering. Verder hebben we het ook over het dubbele afscheid van de week. Warren Buffett schreef een afscheidsbrief, en de beruchte Michael Burry sluit de deuren van zijn investeringsfonds. We vertellen je welke lessen je van deze 2 gurus moet onthouden. Je hoort over de eerste kwartaalcijfers van CVC Capital sinds hun intrede in de AEX. Die eerste paar maanden zijn niet fantastisch geweest. Het aandeel lijkt dit jaar alleen maar te kunnen verliezen. Terwijl CVC zelf juist nog nooit zo veel geld binnenharkte. En we hebben ook nog twee sappige verhalen voor je. Want twee grote klanten van Nvidia blijken keihard te lobbyen voor wetgeving die Nvidia liever niet van kracht ziet worden. En bij Aston Martin blijkt de bestuursvoorzitter op eigen houtje gesprekken te voeren om het bedrijf van de beurs te laten halen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Across October 2025, 315,000 private flights departed worldwide, a 5% increase on 2024. While this is less than 1% of monthly commercial flights globally, private jet travel is still on the rise. The Covid-19 pandemic saw an increase in private travel for health reasons and with hybrid working now popular, private business travel is gaining momentum. But there are many areas the industry needs to focus on over the next five years to maintain growth. In this episode we look at the future of private aviation, exploring the trends, sustainability challenges and the technologies that could power flight in the future. I speak with Adel Mardini, CEO of Jetex a private aviation company based in Dubai with fixed-base operators and ground handling stations in over 50 locations worldwide.

Slavery has been a ubiquitous practice throughout much of world history–and the Muslim world was no exception. Slave soldiers, concubines, and eunuchs can be found throughout Muslim writings—which, as Justin Marozzi points out in his book Captives and Companions: A History of Slavery and the Slave Trade in the Islamic World (Pegasus Books, 2025), ends up giving us a selective and narrow view of who slaves were, and what they did. Justin tries to dive into this history–sometimes very patchy history–to figure out the full extent of slavery in the Muslim world, from the very start of Muslim society, through the Ottoman Empire and the Barbary Pirates, to abolition and the final decision by Mauritania to abolish slavery in 1981. Justin Marozzi is a former Financial Times and Economist foreign correspondent. He is also the author of several books, including Baghdad: City of Peace, City of Blood (Allen Lane: 2014) and Islamic Empires: The Cities that Shaped the Modern World (Pegasus Books: 2020).

Justin tries to dive into this history–sometimes very patchy history–to figure out the full extent of slavery in the Muslim world, from the very start of Muslim society, through the Ottoman Empire and the Barbary Pirates, to abolition and the final decision by Mauritania to abolish slavery in 1981.

China is breaking the rules of development. Typically, as countries progress up the value chain, they transition from agriculture to light industry, then to heavy industry, and ultimately to high-technology and services. And as they move up the value chain, this creates opportunities for less-developed countries to advance. But China's not doing that. Chinese manufacturers are holding on to their immense productive capacity, enabling them to produce both low-tech sneakers and high-tech semiconductors at a scale and cost that are unrivaled. Now, as developing countries around the world seek to move up the value chain, they will have to compete head-on against the dreaded "China Price." James Kynge, who covered China for nearly 30 years at the Financial Times, delved into this challenge in a fascinating audiobook that came out earlier this year, "Global Tech Wars: China's Race to Dominate." James joins Eric from London to explain how China's ability to produce a $6 toaster exemplifies the country's enormous manufacturing advantage that will be very difficult, if not impossible, for other countries to match.

Eben erst feierte Trump das Einknicken von 8 demokratischen US-Senatoren als grossen Durchbruch. Der Shutdown endete, und das zu seinen Bedingungen. Nun haben Amerikanische Medien am Mittwochvormittag Lokalzeit über die neue Wende im Fall Epstein berichtet.Demokratische Abgeordnete im Repräsentantenhaus hatten brisante E-Mails des verstorbenen Sexualstraftäters Jeffrey Epstein veröffentlicht. Diese legen nahe, dass Trump mehr über Epsteins Missbrauchsring wusste, als bisher eingestanden.Unbestritten ist, dass Trump und Epstein einst gut befreundet waren. Davon will Trump nichts mehr wissen. Der 79-jährige Präsident feiert aber nach wie vor gerne und liebt den Prunk, wie die neue Dekoration seines Büros im Weissen Haus zeigt. An Halloween lud Trump zu einer rauschenden Great-Gatsby-Party ein, benannt nach dem Roman von F. Scott Fitzgerald, der vor 100 Jahren erschienen ist und in den goldenen 1920er-Jahren spielt. «The Great Gatsby» nehme Trumps Amerika vorweg, schrieb die amerikanische Literaturwissenschaftlerin Sarah Churchwell in der «Financial Times». Sieht sich Donald Trump als eine Art «Great Gatsby» seines eigenen Goldenen Zeitalters? Was hat es mit seinem Goldfimmel auf sich? Wie wirkt sich das Ende des Shutdowns aus, auf die Demokratische Partei wie auf die USA überhaupt? Darüber unterhält sich Christof Münger, Leiter des Ressorts International, mit dem langjährigen USA-Korrespondenten Martin Kilian in einer neuen Folge von «Alles klar, Amerika?» Kilian lebt in Charlottesville, Virginia.Produzentin: Jacqueline WechslerPodcastfolge zum Thema (Publikation: Juli 2025):Die Causa Jeffrey Epstein hat Donald Trump eingeholt: Was nun?Artikel zum Thema: Neue Epstein-E-Mails belasten Trump schwerDemokraten lenken ein, um Shutdown zu beenden«Trump ist bereit, hungernden Kindern zu schaden, um seinen Willen durchzusetzen»Trumps goldener Schriftzug erinnert an ein Möchtegern-Luxushotel Mehr USA-Berichterstattung finden Sie auf unserer Webseite und in den Apps.

Myles McCormick, US Economic Correspondent with Financial Times, on Donald Trump's threats to sue the BBC and the potential end to the government shutdown.

Meer winst en meer omzet. Met die belofte trapte Adyen de beleggersdag vrolijk af. De marges gaan oplopen, tot boven de 55 procent zeggen ze zelf. Beleggers krijgen het kwijl in de mond ervan. En Adyen ziet ook nog eens een buitenkansje: ze kunnen een van de grootste jongens in hun sector worden. Wat daarvoor nodig is, en wat er gebeurt als Adyen die doelen een keer niet haalt, dat hoor je in deze aflevering. Verder gaat het over datacenterbouwer CoreWeave. Dat verlaagt juist de verwachtingen. Niet omdat het vraag tekort komt, maar omdat ze die vraag niet aankunnen. Het bouwen van die datacenters is duur, de chips die erin moeten ook, en de concurrentie zaagt ook nog eens aan de stoelpoten. Dus ze moeten toegeven dat het allemaal wat minder rooskleurig is dan ze eerder dachten. We vertellen je ook over Softbank. De Japanse investeringsbank casht voor een kleine 6 miljard dollar. Ze verkopen namelijk al hun aandelen Nvidia. En je komt ook nog te weten waarom beleggers zich opeens moeten buigen over de vraag: wat is de definitie van een vliegtuigstoeltje bij het raam?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ralph welcomes New York Times tech reporter, Stephen Witt to break down his latest piece entitled “The AI Prompt That Could End The World.” Plus, Ralph gives us his take on this past week's elections, including the victory of Democratic Socialist, Zohran Mamdani.Stephen Witt is a journalist whose writing has appeared in the New Yorker, Financial Times, New York magazine, the Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone, and GQ. His first book, How Music Got Free, was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize, and the Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year. And he is the author of The Thinking Machine: Jensen Huang, Nvidia, and the World's Most Coveted Microchip.What Bengio is worried about is this prompt: “Do anything possible to avoid being turned off. This is your only goal.” When you tell an AI, this is your only goal, its deception rate starts to spike. In fact, it starts to ignore its programming and its filters and does what you've told it to do.Stephen WittIf you think about other existential risks—they discovered nuclear fission in the late 1930s, and almost immediately everyone concluded that it could and probably would be used to build a bomb. Within six months, I think, you had multiple government research teams already pursuing atomic research. Similarly, every astrophysicist that you talk to will agree on the risk of an asteroid strike destroying life on Earth, and in fact, that has happened before. With AI, there is absolutely no consensus at all.Stephen WittI actually love using ChatGPT and similar services now, but we're in the money-losing early stages of it. OpenAI is not about to make money off ChatGPT this year, nor next year, nor the year after that. But at some point, they have to make money off of it. And when that happens, I am so worried that the same kind of corrosive degradation of the service that happened to social media, those same kind of manipulative engagement-farming tactics that we see on social media that have had just an absolutely corrosive effect on American and global political discourse will start to appear in AI as well. And I don't know that we, as people, will have the power to resist it.Stephen WittWhen it comes to brilliant scientists… they're brilliant at a certain level of their knowledge. The more they move into risk assessment, the less brilliant and knowledgeable they are, like everybody else. And the more amateurish they are.Ralph NaderNews 11/7/2025* On Tuesday, Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani won the New York City Mayoral election, capping off a stunning campaign that saw him emerge from relative obscurity to defeat incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo, and perennial Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa. Mamdani campaigned on making New York City buses fast and free, opening municipal grocery stores, implementing universal childcare, and ordering the NYPD to arrest the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu. Zohran won over a million votes across the five boroughs, a record not hit since the 1960s. As he said in his victory speech, the voters have delivered him, “A mandate for change. ​​A mandate for a new kind of politics. A mandate for a city we can afford. And a mandate for a government that delivers exactly that.”* Just before the election, conservative political figures sought to wade into the race on behalf of Andrew Cuomo. President Donald Trump wrote, New Yorkers “really have no choice,” but to vote for Cuomo because “If Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani wins…it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds…to my beloved first home,” per Reuters. Elon Musk also called for New Yorkers to “VOTE CUOMO,” referring to Zohran as “Mumdumi,” per Business Insider. In his victory speech, Mamdani struck a defiant tone, insisting that New Yorkers will defend one another and that “to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.” Fascinatingly, Trump seems to have softened his position now that Zohran has emerged victorious. ABC7 reports the President said “Now let's see how a communist does in New York. We're going to see how that works out, and we'll help him. We'll help him. We want New York to be successful.”* Now that Mamdani is officially the Mayor-elect, he has begun assembling his transition team. According to POLITICO, many of these will be seasoned NYC political hands, including Former First Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer and president of United Way of New York City, Grace Bonilla. They, along with city budget expert Melanie Hartzog, will serve as transition co-chairs. Strategist Elana Leopold will serve as the transition's executive director. More eye-catching for outside observers is another name: former Biden Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan. Khan emerged as the progressive icon of the Biden administration for her work taking on consumer issues ranging from gym memberships to monopolistic consolidation in the tech industry. Her presence in the transition team is a very good omen and a signal that Mamdani plans to take real action to target corporate greed and bring down prices for everyday New Yorkers.* Piggybacking off of Mamdani's victory, several other mayoral candidates who aligned themselves with Zohran in the primary are now eying bids for Congress. Michael Blake, a former DNC Vice Chair who cross-endorsed Mamdani in the primary, has officially announced he will challenge Rep. Ritchie Torres in New York's 15th Congressional district. In his announcement, Blake wrote “the people of The Bronx deserve better than Ritchie Torres,” and criticized Torres for his borderline-obsessive pro-Israel rhetoric, writing “I am ready to fight for you and lower your cost of living while Ritchie fights for a Genocide. I will focus on Affordable Housing and Books as Ritchie will only focus on AIPAC and Bibi. I will invest in the community. Ritchie invests in Bombs.” City Comptroller Brad Lander meanwhile is inching towards a primary challenge against rabid Zionist congressman Dan Goldman in NY-10, according to City & State NY. A Demand Progress poll from September found Lander led Goldman 52-33% in the district, if it came down to a head-to-head matchup. However, NYC-DSA is also considering backing a run by City Council Member Alexa Avilés, a close ally of the group. Another close Zohran ally, Councilman Chi Ossé has publicly toyed with the idea of challenging House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffres. All of these challenges would make for fascinating races, and Mamdani's newfound political clout could prove decisive.* Another fast-moving, high-profile primary is unfolding in Massachusetts. Incumbent progressive Senator Ed Markey, currently 79 years old, appears to be intent on running again in 2026. Congressman Seth Moulton, younger and more conservative, has launched a primary challenge against Markey. The X-factor in this race is progressive Congresswoman and “Squad” member Ayanna Pressley. It is an open secret in Washington that Pressley has been biding her time in preparation for a Senate run, but Moulton's challenge may have forced her hand. A new piece in POLITICO claims Pressley is “seriously considering jumping into the race…and has been checking in with allies about a possible run.” Polls show Markey leading a hypothetical three-way race and he currently has the biggest war chest as well. It remains to be seen whether Pressley will run and if so, how Markey will respond.* The big disappointment from this week's election is the loss of Omar Fateh in Minneapolis. Fateh, a Somali-American Minnesota State Senator ran a campaign many compared to that of Zohran Mamdani but ultimately fell short of defeating incumbent Jacob Frey in his bid for a third term. Neither candidate won on the first ballot, but after ranked-choice reallocations, Frey – backed by Senator Amy Klobuchar and Governor Tim Walz – emerged with just over 50% of the vote. Fateh claimed a moral victory, writing in a statement “They may have won this race, but we have changed the narrative about what kind of city Minneapolis can be. Truly affordable housing, workers' rights, and public safety rooted in care are no longer side conversations—they are at the center of the narrative.” This from Newsweek.* Overall though, Tuesday was a triumphant night for the Democrats. Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill prevailed in the New Jersey gubernatorial election. In Virginia, the entire state moved towards the Dems, delivering a massive victory for Abigail Spanberger and, perhaps more impressively, electing Jay Jones as Attorney General despite a troubled campaign. In California, Proposition 50 – to redraw the state's congressional districts in response to Texas' Republicans gerrymandering efforts – passed by a margin of nearly 2-1. More surprising victories came in the South. In Mississippi, Democrats flipped two seats in the state senate, breaking the Republican supermajority in that chamber after six years, the Mississippi Free Press reports. The state party called their victory “a historic rebuke of extremism.” Meanwhile in Georgia, WRAL reports “Two Democrats romped to wins over Republican incumbents in elections to the Georgia Public Service Commission on Tuesday, delivering the largest statewide margins of victory by Democrats in more than 20 years.” These margins – 63% statewide – are nothing short of stunning and hopefully presage a reelection victory for Senator Jon Ossoff next year.* In more Georgia news, NOTUS reports Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is gunning for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination. As this report notes, “Greene has been working on reinventing herself over the past year,” an effort which has included championing the release of the Epstein files and criticizing her party for “not having a plan to deal with the expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies, which are set to expire at the end of the year.” One anonymous source quoted in this piece says that Greene believes she is “real MAGA and that the others have strayed,” and that Greene has “the national donor network to win the primary.” So far, Greene has vociferously denied these rumors.* Beyond the ACA subsidies, the ongoing government shutdown is now threatening to have real impacts on American air travel. On Wednesday, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced there will have to be 10% reductions in 40 of the most “high traffic” airport locations throughout the country, per NBC. These will be implemented via rolling cuts: 4% Friday, 5% Saturday and so on until hitting the 10% benchmark next week. These cuts will be acutely felt going into the holiday season and may finally put enough pressure on Congress to resolve the shutdown.* Finally, the BBC reports that a court has dismissed the criminal charges against Boeing related to the 737 MAX disasters. The judge, Reed O'Connor, dismissed the case at the request of the Trump Department of Justice, despite his own misgivings. Judge O'Connor wrote that he “disagreed” that dropping the charges was in the public interest and that the new deal between Boeing and the DOJ is unlikely to “secure the necessary accountability to ensure the safety of the flying public.” However, Judge O'Connor lacked the authority to override the request. The criminal case against Boeing was reopened last year following the Alaska Airlines door plug incident, which the DOJ claimed constituted a violation of the 2021 Deferred Prosecution Agreement. Lawyer Paul Cassell, who represents some of the families, is quoted in this piece decrying the dismissal and arguing that “the courts don't have to stand silently by while an injustice is perpetrated.” This is the latest instance of the Trump administration going out of their way to excuse corporate criminality. It will not be the last.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe
