Today's Headlines: Federal investigators finally arrested a suspect in the January 6th pipe bomb case — 30-year-old Brian Cole Jr. — though AG Pam Bondi says they still don't know the motive and didn't get any new tips. Meanwhile, pardoned J6 defendant Taylor Taranto popped up near Rep. Jamie Raskin's house, prompting another bump in security during what's starting to feel like a never-ending wave of threats. The DOJ is also trying to re-indict Letitia James and James Comey after their earlier cases collapsed thanks to the administration forgetting you actually need legitimate prosecutors. A new grand jury declined to indict James on mortgage fraud, and the GAO has now opened an investigation into FHFA director Bill Pulte — the guy reportedly cooking up the bogus mortgage probes against Trump enemies. Trump declared he's solved war again, announcing “peace” between Rwanda and militant forces in the DRC… despite fighting still happening. Over in the real war he can't magically fix, Putin rejected the latest Ukraine peace draft after chats with Kushner & Witkoff. And according to a leaked call, European leaders warned Zelensky that the U.S. might screw Ukraine over in negotiations. At home, the Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that Texas can use its aggressively gerrymandered congressional map for 2026 — a huge boost to Republicans. In”people who won't go away” news, Mike Lindell is now running for governor of Minnesota. And finally, the NFL announced new uniform field-safety standards for all stadiums by 2028, presumably so players stop shredding their knees to enhance player safety.

The Government Accountability Office created fake applicants for Affordable Care Act subsidies that lacked necessary documents... and guess how many were approved? The Mamdani effect hits Miami as New York real estate queries skyrocket. House democrat Jim Himes responds to seeing the video of the narco boat "double tap" and has the most outrageous takeaway. An Idaho man gets free beer for a month for blowing in a state lawmaker whose family business hires illegal aliens. Good News takes us to Arizona where an elderly woman's worst day opens the door to a neighbor's kindness.
Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down President Trump rolling back Joe Biden's fuel-economy mandates on automakers, a stunning new report on widespread Obamacare fraud, and Gov. Gavin Newsom's push to tax former California residents to plug his state's massive budget deficit.First, they applaud President Trump for scrapping the Biden administration's burdensome fuel-economy standards. The move will likely lower costs and will almost certainly save lives. Jim and Greg unload on Democrats who want to limit our choices on the vehicles we drive and in other areas of life.Next, they groan as a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report shows that the government accepted 100 percent of fraudulent Obamacare exchange applications that the GAO submitted as part of its investigation. In addition, the actual Obamacare fraud happening in the system is costing taxpayers billions of dollars and much of it happens when applicants use the Social Security numbers of dead people.Finally, they laugh as California Gov. Gavin Newsom attempts to fix his state's budget disaster by taxing people who have already moved away. Jim turns to a classic song to underscore how absurd the idea is, and he hopes someone sues the state if lawmakers actually pass the plan.Please visit our great sponsors:Give your liver the support it deserves with Dose Daily.

A bill that would overhaul how the federal government purchases software has found itself in a familiar place: moving forward in the House while awaiting Senate consideration with just a few weeks left in the congressional calendar. The Strengthening Agency Management and Oversight of Software Assets (SAMOSA) Act advanced out of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Tuesday, teeing it up for a vote in the full chamber. The SAMOSA Act, which would direct federal agencies to assess their software licensing practices and streamline future IT buying decisions to avoid duplicative purchases, was reintroduced in the House in September following the Senate's move to do the same in July. The bill passed the House a year ago but stalled out in the upper chamber, despite backing from a host of software and IT trade groups, including the Computer & Communications Industry Association, the Alliance for Digital Innovation, NetChoice, OpenPolicy and the Software Information Industry Association. Congress has been trying to move forward with the SAMOSA Act since at least 2022. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., noted during Tuesday's markup that the current iteration of the SAMOSA Act is “identical” to what passed the chamber last year. In other news: The Small Business Administration may soon be forced to confront the flawed rollout of an online certification platform it launched late in the Biden administration.The House on Monday passed a bill that would require the SBA to implement nearly a dozen recommendations made in a Government Accountability Office report about the agency's Unified Certification Platform for small business contracting assistance. The lawmakers behind the SBA IT Modernization Reporting Act — Reps. Gil Cisneros, D-Calif., and Brian Jack, R-Ga. — believe the legislation will help the agency avoid various pitfalls that plagued the UCP, helping it better develop and manage digital projects going forward. The UCP project was launched in 2023 with the goal of easing small businesses' interactions with the SBA's contract assistance programs. But deployment of the platform was delayed and applications for certification were paused in August 2024. The UCP went live two months later, but according to the GAO, work to migrate data and secure the system was incomplete. House Small Business Committee Chair Roger Williams said before Monday's vote that the “failed … portal rollout resulted in delays, errors and cybersecurity risks, shutting out small businesses from the vital government contracting opportunities.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

This week, the GovNavigators sit down with Sairah Ijaz, Managing Director at Celonis and former federal CIO to talk about her path from a GS-5 intern with a clipboard to one of the most influential technology executives in government.Sairah shares how early roles at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Social Security Administration, and GAO shaped her obsession with process improvement, and why that made her move to Celonis such a natural next step. She reflects on major transitions at HUD, including financial system migrations, data-driven decision-making, and the sometimes chaotic reality of inheriting undocumented processes and shrinking institutional knowledge.The conversation dives deep on where AI is actually delivering value in government (and where it isn't), how agencies can operationalize AI in back-office functions, and why understanding real workflows is essential to transforming federal operations, especially in a moment of leadership churn and rapid change.Show Notes:Genesis Mission: EOAGA: CFO SurveyWhat's on the GovNavigators Radar:Dec 1-3: PSC Vision ConferenceDec 4-5: ACT-IAC's in DC

Hey, it has only been almost a year, right? There is one little problem with the house that Bass is celebrating, however. It was a developer project that was in the works before the fires even happened. That's right, this house wasn't even one of the average homes destroyed by fires and her incompetence. What a surprise.

Geopolitical https://twitter.com/AAGDhillon/status/1993535086462152800?s=20 The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is establishing a new office within its Civil Rights Division specifically dedicated to enforcing and protecting Second Amendment rights, which guarantee the right to keep and bear arms under the U.S. Constitution. Named the Second Amendment Rights Section, this office is set to open on December 4, 2025, and will focus on investigating and challenging local or state laws, policies, or practices that the DOJ deems as infringing on gun rights. This move is part of a broader shift in priorities under the Trump administration, reallocating resources to emphasize conservative-leaning civil rights issues, such as gun ownership, over traditional areas like racial discrimination or police misconduct oversight. The initiative stems from a February 2025 executive order by President Donald Trump, which instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi to review and address any federal, state, or local infringements on Second Amendment rights. The office will operate using existing DOJ funding and personnel, without needing new congressional approval, though Congress was notified of the plans. former DOJ officials, argue that this emphasis on gun rights dilutes the division’s core mission of safeguarding the rights of marginalized groups, especially amid ongoing gun violence issues in the U.S. (with 378 mass shootings reported as of November 25, 2025). https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1993654295263350864?s=20 SHAME: Brazil Descends Into Tyranny, as Supreme Court Justice Moraes Orders Bolsonaro To Start Serving His Unjust 27-Year Prison Sentence for Fake ‘Coup' Bolsonaro, man of the people. The fakest coup ever. Liberty-loving people in Brazil and around the world are saddened, as a major injustice has taken place. Out-of-control Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, a sanctioned human rights abuser, has ordered that former President Jair Bolsonaro begin serving his 27-year prison sentence for plotting an ‘attempted coup'. Under socialist Lula da Silva, the rogue Judiciary is persecuting right-wingers – and no target was more valuable than Bolsonaro. Sanctioned Justice Moraes is still running the country unopposed.

Officials blame Stephanie Miller, the DoW undersecretary controlling personnel systems, who designed and enforced the original mandate and previously served as the Pentagon's DEI chief. Her husband's work as a defense and pharmaceutical lobbyist adds further conflict concerns.

Trump Says No Firm Deadline for Ukraine, Russia to Reach Peace Deal Trump, speaking to reporters on board Air Force One as he flew to Florida for the Thanksgiving holiday, said U.S. negotiators were making progress in discussions with Russia and Ukraine, and Moscow had agreed to some concessions. He did not detail them. A U.S.-based framework for ending the war, first reported last week, prompted fresh concerns that the Trump administration might be willing to push Ukraine to sign a peace deal heavily tilted toward Moscow. Trump said his envoy Steve Witkoff would be traveling to Moscow soon to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and that his son-in-law Jared Kushner, who helped negotiate the Gaza deal that brought about an uneasy ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war, was also involved. Trump in recent days had set the Thanksgiving holiday as the day when he wanted to see Ukraine agree to a deal to bring about an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine. But he and his aides have backed away from a firm deadline and now say they would like an agreement as soon as possible. Trump said it appeared that Russia had the upper hand in the war and that it would be in Ukraine’s best interests to reach an agreement.

TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Medical/False Flags BREAKING: Government Accountability Office Director Reveals Covert Effort Inside GAO to Defy RFK Jr., Preserve Vaccine Data Deleted by HHS (VIDEO) A Government Accountability Office Director was caught on undercover video revealing a covert effort to defy RFK Jr. and preserve vaccine data deleted by the HHS. The O'Keefe Media Group posted video of GAO director Steven Putansu admitting to possible violations of federal records and theft laws. Per OMG: Putansu admitted on hidden camera GAO staff “stole and backed up” federal data to keep it outside RFK Jr. led HHS control – a potential violation of several federal statutes, including: – Unauthorized Removal or Destruction of Public Records (18 U.S.C. § 2071) – Theft or Conversion of Government Property (18 U.S.C. § 641) – Computer Fraud & Abuse Act – CFAA (18 U.S.C. § 1030) for accessing or copying government data without authorization. “We've stolen and backed those things up so that someday they can come back to government,” he said to the undercover OMG journalist. Putansu trashed the ‘vaccine deniers' in the HHS. “I'd watch out for the vaccine denying HHS who's going to ruin health care in this country even more than it already is,” he said. “It limits the amount of permanent damage… research he's trying to delete is stored outside his control,” he said. WATCH: The GAO released a statement in response to OMG's undercover video operation: “Regarding your inquiry, GAO collects & retains data for requested audits & engagements in accordance with GAO's statutes & agency protocols. GAO is committed to meeting the highest level of independence, nonpartisanship, & professional standards while conducting audits, evaluations, & investigations & we take seriously any suggestion otherwise.” Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/AwakenedOutlaw/status/1993477109831119259?s=20 prohibited from removing, copying, or concealing official records without authorization, especially to interfere with executive branch operations or policy implementation.’ ~ Grok All told, because sentencing would run concurrently those involved could easily get a 10-year sentence. However, if the DOJ and judge decide to make an example of him/them, they could get more—along with an 8 to 9 figure for restitution + multi-million-dollars fines, effectively bankrupting them and taking everything they owned.

[DS] Agenda Democrat Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick Surrenders to Authorities After Allegedly Laundering $5 Million in FEMA Funds — Allegedly Bought 3.14-Carat Yellow Diamond Ring A sitting Democratic member of Congress from Broward County, Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, surrendered to federal authorities Tuesday in Miami amid explosive allegations that she orchestrated a scheme to steal and launder $5 million in FEMA COVID-19 disaster relief funds, and used a portion to bankroll her 2021 congressional campaign and purchase a luxury yellow diamond ring. “The indictment alleges that the defendants conspired to steal that $5 million and routed it through multiple accounts to disguise its source. Prosecutors allege that a substantial portion of the misappropriated funds was used as candidate contributions to Cherfilus-McCormick's 2021 congressional campaign and for the personal benefit of the defendants. According to the Miami Herald, the money trail reveals a stunning web of alleged financial abuse and deception: $2.4 million transferred into the bank account of Cherfilus-McCormick's consulting company. $1.2 million routed to relatives. $830,000 moved into an account where the congresswoman was an authorized signer. $334,000 sent to a co-defendant, Nadege Leblanc, to orchestrate straw donor contributions. $190,000 transferred to a company associated with her brother, Edwin Cherfilus. $109,000 allegedly used to purchase the now-infamous 3.14-carat Fancy Yellow Diamond ring. The indictment alleges that more than $1.14 million was then funneled into her campaign account in September and October 2021, just in time for her congressional race, funds prosecutors say were “illegally sourced and misrepresented” on campaign reports and tax returns.

What the Sedition 6 have done is unprecedented since the Civil War. 2. Historic U.S. military success in some cases may never have happened had the Sedition 6 had a say at the time. 3. The exercise of lethal force we are seeing again the invading drug boats is both legal and consistent with past US actions by some of our greatest Presidents, and is consistent with the Monroe Doctrine. 4. The act of undermining a nation's military through perfidious information ops is a classic behavior of fascists and communists. History speaks, and should be our guide.

Fani Willis took our country https://twitter.com/julie_kelly2/status/1993418873127805086?s=20 allegations that she had placed the explosive devices outside Democratic and Republican party offices. ODNI officials said the agency received a tip from a person affiliated with a media organization about potential criminal wrongdoing by an individual believed to be working at an intelligence agency and set about documenting it in a memo. A short time after the unfinished memo began to circulate, the conservative news outlet, Blaze News, published details similar to those in the draft, including the woman’s full name. CBS News was not shown the memo, but sources said McNamara had accessed confidential files to obtain details about the woman for the draft memo, including her place of work and Social Security number. The federal security officer cooperated with the FBI, sources close to the matter said. Her lawyer said publicly she had done nothing wrong. Both the woman and her lawyer declined to comment. She returned to work after being placed on a brief leave, one of the sources said.” Another “Seven Ways from Sunday” Effort Against DNI Tulsi Gabbard – The J6 Pipe Bomber Was Wrongly Identified CBS is writing a narrative through the background story of how the wrong identity was originated, and that tracks back to Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. In essence, a hit against Tulsi Gabbard emerges, and the details end up showing a transparent intelligence operation for those who have paid close attention. According to CBS an anonymous “whistleblower” originally contacted the ODNI, Tulsi Gabbard's office, with information about who the J6 pipe bomber was. Subsequently, “a unit overseen by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard drafted a memo identifying the woman and describing allegations.” As the article is written, “Several sources told CBS News that the classified draft memo, which was on ODNI letterhead, was written by Paul McNamara, who is in charge of Gabbard's Director's Initiatives Group, which is tasked with providing “transparency and accountability” and executing President Trump's intelligence-related executive orders.” Shortly thereafter, Steve Baker at Blaze News then wrote an article naming the accused pipe bomber, using information that directly paralleled the report within the DNI's office. The accused woman was cleared during an FBI investigation that stemmed from the memo and The Blaze report. The woman provided an alibi and recordings of her activity timestamped during the time when she was accused of walking through the streets of Washington DC. CBS narrative doesn't focus on The Blaze or the reporting of Steve Baker, instead the media hit shifts responsibility to Tulsi Gabbard who is operating outside her intelligence oversight lane and conducting independent investigations which includes information from “outside sources.” Having followed the operations of these embed “intel officials” the motive for this operation against the office of the DNI is clear. You, me, all of us can see with clear non-pretending eyes, the intent of this op was to change the way Tulsi Gabbard is receiving information and to block the delivery of external sunlight.

Democrats have screwed the pooch in many areas. Below are just a few revelations of interest:1. In 2024, the GAO documented that Department of Homeland Security officials were instructed to suppress internal data showing that the majority of “white supremacist violence” cases were not political at all, and often not white. Meaning Democrats inflated a panic out of thin air — again.2. BLM's 2020–2022 fundraising and real estate acquisitions exceeded $90 million, yet less than 10% of those funds were distributed to Black communities. Turns out the real emergency wasn't police brutality — it was BLM's accounting department.3. Multiple FOIA disclosures from 2023–24 revealed that federal agencies coordinated with social media platforms to amplify certain “crisis narratives,” including climate and COVID content, even when internal scientists rejected those claims. Manufactured chaos, government edition.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
A government watchdog is sounding the alarm about a growing national security threat, one that comes from the everyday digital traces service members and their families leave online. A new Government Accountability Office report warns that publicly accessible data from social media posts and location tracking to routine Defense Department press releases can be pieced together by bad actors to identify military personnel and disrupt military operations. GAO says the Pentagon has taken some steps to address the threat, but its efforts remain scattered and lack coordination. For more, Federal News Network's Anastasia Obis spoke with Joe Kirschbaum, director of the defense capabilities and management team at GAO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
China remained the world's largest express delivery market in 2024, accounting for 65 percent of global parcel volume, according to the Global Express Development Report (2025) released on Tuesday in Zhejiang province.根据周二在浙江发布的《全球快递发展报告（2025）》显示，2024年中国继续保持全球最大快递市场地位，占全球包裹量的65%。The report, unveiled at the 6th Express Delivery Industry Conference in Tonglu, Zhejiang, shows China has extended its leadership for an 11th consecutive year, reinforcing its role as the primary engine of global parcel market expansion.该报告在浙江桐庐举行的第六届快递业大会上发布，显示中国已连续11年保持领先地位，进一步巩固其作为全球包裹市场增长主要引擎的作用。The report found that global express and parcel services handled 267.9 billion items in 2024, up 17.49 percent year-on-year, while industry revenue grew 14.05 percent to 4.61 trillion yuan ($648 billion).报告显示，2024年全球快递与包裹服务共处理2679亿件，同比增长17.49%；行业收入增长14.05%，达到4.61万亿元人民币（6480亿美元）。China alone processed 175.08 billion parcels, an increase of 21.5 percent, with sector revenue rising 13.8 percent to 1.4 trillion yuan. The country's express market also stabilized at a historic scale of more than 10 billion parcels per month, a level unmatched worldwide.中国全年处理包裹1750.8亿件，同比增长21.5%；行业收入增长13.8%，达到1.4万亿元人民币。中国快递市场还稳定在每月超百亿件的历史规模，全球无可匹敌。"China's share of global express parcel volume has climbed to 65 percent, making it the key driver of the sector's global expansion," said Xie Momei, deputy director of the international business department at the Development and Research Center of the State Post Bureau.国家邮政局发展研究中心国际业务部副主任谢墨梅表示：“中国在全球快递包裹量中的占比已上升至65%，成为带动全球行业增长的关键力量。”Despite complex global conditions — including geopolitical tensions, an uneven economic recovery, and environmental risks — strong e-commerce growth continued to fuel parcel demand worldwide, Xie noted. She added that the express industry has significantly improved its quality and sustainable development, becoming one of the most efficient and technologically advanced logistics systems globally.谢墨梅指出，尽管全球面临地缘政治紧张、经济复苏不均衡和环境风险等复杂局势，但强劲的电商增长仍持续推动全球包裹需求。她补充说，快递行业在质量与可持续发展方面取得显著提升，已成为全球效率最高、技术最先进的物流系统之一。The report forecasts that global parcel volume is likely to exceed 300 billion pieces this year, with worldwide revenue poised to surpass 5 trillion yuan.报告预测，今年全球包裹量有望突破3000亿件，全球行业收入将超过5万亿元人民币。Industry leaders said China's domestic performance this year further reflects the sector's resilience. According to Gao Hongfeng, president of the China Express Association, China's parcel volume surpassed 150 billion items by Oct 11, reaching the milestone 37 days earlier than in 2024.行业专家表示，中国今年的国内表现进一步体现了行业的韧性。中国快递协会会长高宏峰介绍，截至10月11日，中国快递包裹量突破1500亿件，比2024年提前了37天达成这一里程碑。During this year's "Double 11" online shopping festival, postal and express enterprises handled 13.94 billion parcels from Oct 21 to Nov 11, with an average daily volume of 634 million, or 117.8 percent of normal levels.今年“双11”购物节期间，从10月21日至11月11日，邮政及快递企业共处理包裹139.4亿件，日均6.34亿件，是平日处理量的117.8%。The peak single-day volume soared to 777 million items, setting a new national record for daily parcel handling.高峰单日处理量攀升至7.77亿件，创下全国单日包裹处理的新纪录。"This demonstrates the steady growth of China's consumer market and the express industry's crucial role in supporting the unified national market," Gao said. He called for placing technological innovation at the core, accelerating intelligent upgrades, and promoting large-scale applications of unmanned delivery, smart cloud warehouses, and low-altitude logistics as the sector shifts from high-speed growth to high-quality development.高宏峰表示，“这表明中国消费市场持续增长，也体现了快递行业在支撑全国统一大市场中的关键作用。”他呼吁将科技创新置于核心位置，加快智能化升级，推动无人配送、智能云仓、低空物流等大规模应用，助力行业由高速增长向高质量发展转型。Express companies are already moving quickly in this direction. Lai Meisong, chairman of ZTO Express, said artificial intelligence is now applied across the entire logistics chain, enabling the digitalization of "every vehicle, every worker and every parcel".快递企业已在快速向这一方向迈进。中通快递董事长赖梅松表示，人工智能已应用于物流链条的全流程，实现了“车车在线、人人在线、件件在线”的数字化。Lai noted that ZTO's per-parcel transfer cost dropped from 1.26 yuan in 2016 to 0.63 yuan in the first half of 2025, while the average express delivery price in China declined from 12.7 yuan to 7.5 yuan over the same period. "This has freed up more than one trillion yuan in value that ultimately flows back to businesses and consumers," he said.赖梅松指出，中通单票中转成本已从2016年的1.26元降至2025年上半年的0.63元；同期中国快递平均价格从12.7元降至7.5元。“这释放出超过一万亿元的价值，最终回流至企业和消费者。”At ZTO's Tonglu sorting hub, eight Neolix autonomous vehicles have already been put into operation. Tang Rong, manager of the facility, said the driverless vehicles increased overall site efficiency by about 70 percent and significantly reduced labor costs.在中通快递的桐庐分拣中心，已有8台新石器（Neolix）自动驾驶车辆投入运营。该中心负责人唐荣表示，这些无人车使整体场地效率提升约70%，并大幅降低了人工成本。Each Neolix vehicle can handle the workload of three drivers and operates around the clock. A typical 60-kilometer delivery run costs about 15 yuan in electricity, compared with at least 50 yuan in fuel for a traditional vehicle covering the same distance.每台新石器（Neolix）无人车可承担三名驾驶员的工作量，并实现全天候运转。一次60公里的配送任务，电费约15元，而传统燃油车至少需要50元燃料成本。Tang added that the sorting hub plans to expand its fleet to 15 Neolix vehicles next year, further improving delivery times and operational stability.唐荣补充说，分拣中心计划明年将无人车队扩充至15台，以进一步提升配送效率和运营稳定性。
In this episode Eric sits down with Chris Griesedieck Jr. (GovCon counsel, Venable LLP) to unpack today's FAR Part 19 overhaul: the Rule of Two survives but is discretionary at the task-order level, size re-representation at the task-order level is removed, and 8(a) changes aim to boost post-graduation success. They also break down the CMMC rollout—starting November 10, DoD solicitations will begin requiring Level 1/2 self-assessments, many Level 2 efforts will need third-party certification, and POA&Ms can enable conditional awards (up to 180 days to cure). Chris shares a practical playbook for REAs and terminations—why recoveries differ under FAR Part 12 (commercial) vs Part 49 (non-commercial), what pre/post-termination and settlement costs are compensable, and why lost profits are almost never in scope absent bad faith. They cover agencies trying to insert new clauses via mods/options (when to insist on consideration or equitable adjustments), upticks in M&A/novations and inter-company work (profit limits with affiliates), and the shifting bid-protest landscape (tougher GAO pleading standards; higher DoD task-order thresholds). Key Takeaways: FAR Part 19—what changed today: Rule of Two saved; discretionary at task-orders; size re-rep at task-order level removed; 8(a) tweaks aim at post-graduation success. CMMC timeline & stakes: Starting Nov 10, new DoD RFPs will call for Level 1/2 self-assessments; many Level 2 contracts will need 3rd-party certification; conditional awards require an approved POA&M within 180 days. Protect your margin under stress: Use the right REA path (Part 12 vs. Part 49), recover allowable pre-/post-termination costs, and demand consideration/equitable adjustments when agencies add clauses or condition options; track tighter GAO protest standards and higher DoD task-order thresholds.

C'est un véritable cri d'alarme qu'a lancé hier le secrétaire général de l'ONU, Antonio Guterres : « il est absolument essentiel que, malgré les divergences, nous construisions une plateforme de coopération entre les services de renseignement et de sécurité » des pays du Sahel, a-t-il affirmé. Des propos relayés par Le Monde Afrique. « Antonio Guterres a appelé à l'union, sur ce sujet, entre les pays de la Cédéao, ceux de l'Alliance des États du Sahel, formée par les juntes souverainistes au pouvoir au Mali, au Niger et au Burkina Faso, ainsi que la Mauritanie, le Tchad et l'Algérie ». Il faut dire, poursuit Le Monde Afrique, que « le nombre d'attaques jihadistes au Sahel a explosé en six ans, passant de 1900 en 2019, principalement concentrées à la frontière entre le Mali et le Burkina Faso, à plus de 5500 en 2024 et 3800 avant le 10 octobre de cette année, sur une zone désormais grande comme deux fois l'Espagne. Ces attaques ont fait près de 80 000 morts ». Ces chiffres, précise le journal, émanent d'une compilation effectuée par l'Agence France Presse basée sur les données de l'organisation ACLED, une ONG américaine spécialisée dans la fourniture de données et d'analyses sur les conflits partout dans le monde. Blocus Outre les attaques contre des civils et contre l'armée, le Mali est confronté depuis début septembre à un blocus sur le carburant imposé par les groupes jihadistes. Depuis, Bamako est asphyxiée en raison des pénuries d'essence. « Jamais, constate Jeune Afrique, la capitale malienne n'avait subi pareille pression depuis le déclenchement de la guerre, en 2012, lorsque les insurgés, s'emparant de Kidal, Ménaka, Tombouctou et Gao, menaçaient de descendre jusqu'à Bamako. S'il est peu probable que la ville tombe à court terme, en dépit de l'emballement médiatique qui a suivi les alertes d'ambassades occidentales qui ont appelé leurs ressortissants à "quitter immédiatement" le pays fin octobre, la situation de ces dernières semaines, pointe Jeune Afrique, n'en reste pas moins d'une gravité inédite. Face aux métastases jihadistes, qui atteignent désormais des régions jusqu'alors relativement épargnées par le conflit, Sikasso, Kayes ou Bamako ne peuvent plus ignorer l'ampleur de la dégradation sécuritaire ». Des « récits alarmistes » Sur place à Bamako, les médias proches du pouvoir minimisent la situation… « Aujourd'hui, alors que le Mali affirme sa souveraineté et redéfinit ses partenariats sécuritaires, des récits alarmistes ressurgissent, s'exclame ainsi Mali Tribune. Ils visent à semer le doute sur la capacité du pays à se gouverner et à assurer sa propre sécurité. Pour les autorités maliennes, il s'agit d'une véritable guerre psychologique, destinée à affaiblir la cohésion nationale et à préparer l'opinion internationale à une nouvelle forme d'ingérence ». Fousseynou Ouattara, vice-président de la Commission Défense du Conseil National de Transition, interrogé par Africa Radio, va plus loin : il rejette catégoriquement les affirmations d'un affaiblissement de l'État face aux jihadistes du Jnim. Il assure que Bamako est sécurisée, que les blocus de carburant relèvent d'une « fiction médiatique », une « invention des médias français » et il interpelle les pays occidentaux sur leurs alertes sécuritaires. Sahel Tribune, proche du pouvoir, invoque le principe de souveraineté : « les États sahéliens ne demandent pas une simple assistance sécuritaire, mais une reconnaissance claire de leur droit souverain : celui de se défendre, de choisir leurs alliances et de rompre avec des tutelles paternalistes ». Refondation ? Reste que « la montée de l'extrémisme religieux, menace la paix et la cohésion sociale au Mali », reconnait pour sa part Le Pouce, autre publication bamakoise. « Les germes de la division sont plantés par quelques individus soutenus par des puissances étrangères qui ont des intérêts à défendre et qui n'ont rien à voir avec le chemin de Dieu », affirme encore Le Pouce. Enfin, le site Bamada appelle à une refondation : « le Mali se trouve aujourd'hui à la croisée des chemins. Les difficultés que traverse le pays ne relèvent plus d'un simple passage à vide ; elles traduisent un malaise profond et multiforme qui touche toutes les couches sociales. (…) Il faut rebâtir ensemble », poursuit Bamada, avec « une armée unie, solide et respectée, une société civile libre et vigilante, des réponses énergiques et visibles aux souffrances quotidiennes, la reconstruction des partis politiques, la libération de toute personne détenue pour avoir exprimé une opinion et le retour digne des exilés non poursuivis par la justice ».

Arise Africa, Roar China: Black and Chinese Citizens of the World in the Twentieth Century (University of North Carolina Press, 2021) explores the close relationships between three of the most famous twentieth-century African Americans, W. E. B. Du Bois, Paul Robeson, and Langston Hughes, and their little-known Chinese allies during World War II and the Cold War--journalist, musician, and Christian activist Liu Liangmo, and Sino-Caribbean dancer-choreographer Sylvia Si-lan Chen. Charting a new path in the study of Sino-American relations, Gao Yunxiang foregrounds African Americans, combining the study of Black internationalism and the experiences of Chinese Americans with a transpacific narrative and an understanding of the global remaking of China's modern popular culture and politics. Gao reveals earlier and more widespread interactions between Chinese and African American leftists than accounts of the familiar alliance between the Black radicals and the Maoist Chinese would have us believe. The book's multilingual approach draws from massive yet rarely used archival streams in China and in Chinatowns and elsewhere in the United States. These materials allow Gao to retell the well-known stories of Du Bois, Robeson, and Hughes alongside the sagas of Liu and Chen in a work that will transform and redefine Afro-Asia studies. Hettie V. Williams Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of African American history in the Department of History and Anthropology at Monmouth University where she teaches courses in African American history and U.S. history.

These materials allow Gao to retell the well-known stories of Du Bois, Robeson, and Hughes alongside the sagas of Liu and Chen in a work that will transform and redefine Afro-Asia studies. Hettie V.

Arise Africa, Roar China: Black and Chinese Citizens of the World in the Twentieth Century (University of North Carolina Press, 2021) explores the close relationships between three of the most famous twentieth-century African Americans, W. E. B. Du Bois, Paul Robeson, and Langston Hughes, and their little-known Chinese allies during World War II and the Cold War--journalist, musician, and Christian activist Liu Liangmo, and Sino-Caribbean dancer-choreographer Sylvia Si-lan Chen. Charting a new path in the study of Sino-American relations, Gao Yunxiang foregrounds African Americans, combining the study of Black internationalism and the experiences of Chinese Americans with a transpacific narrative and an understanding of the global remaking of China's modern popular culture and politics.

On March 29, 2023, we released an episode titled, “The 4 PCOS Phenotypes”. That was in 2023! Now, on 29 October 2025, in the journal Nature Medicine, researchers have published, “Data-driven (FOUR) subtypes of polycystic ovary syndrome and their association with clinical outcomes”. PCOS is not ONE condition: is a constellation of metabolic, endocrine, and ovulatory dysregulation. We covered these 4 phenotypes back then. Is this what the “new data” found? Or what it something else? And how does these affect IVF or pregnancy outcomes? Listen in for details!1. Gao, X., Zhao, S., Du, Y. et al.

Between 1988 and 2002, the quiet city of Baiyin, Gansu, lived in fear. Over a dozen women were found brutally murdered — their bodies mutilated in ways that shocked even seasoned investigators. But what's even more terrifying and mystifying, is that the killer seemed to vanish after each attack, leaving only whispers in the wind. Part 1 - We explore the background of the Baiyin Butcher, Gao Chengyong, and how he managed to terrorize various parts of China. Part 2 - We follow investigators as they finally piece together the puzzle, and put a stop to one of the most brutal criminals that China had ever seen.

CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S PLANS FOR THE DOD 10-1-25 FIRST HOUR 9-915 Colonel Jeff McCausland observes that Europe is preparing to deal with Russia's hybrid warfare (drones, cyber, incursions) independently, driven by the belief that the Trump administration is prioritizing homeland defense. European leaders are discussing a "drone wall" and achieving 5% GDP defense spending. McCausland also analyzes the 20-point Gaza peace plan, which involves an immediate hostage release, phased Israeli withdrawal, and a multinational peacekeeping force, noting Russia would likely gain from regional stabilization. 915-930 Colonel Jeff McCausland observes that Europe is preparing to deal with Russia's hybrid warfare (drones, cyber, incursions) independently, driven by the belief that the Trump administration is prioritizing homeland defense.

Proof of "willfulness" is required, which signifies a heightened mental state and understanding of illegality. They also analyze the Supreme Court's delay in ruling on President Trump's effort to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, deferring oral arguments until January.Preview: Andrew McCarthy and Thaddeus McCotter discuss James Comey potentially being a target of the Trumpadministration, focusing on charges of lying to Congress under the broader false statements statute (1001), rather than traditional perjury.

SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Colonel Grant Newsham assesses South Korea's leftist President Yoon Suk Yeol, describing him as pro-China and anti-US, despite his vow to increase defense spending. Newsham views this spending partly as a tactical ploy to avoid reliance on US troops. Separately, he highlights Chinese influence and rampant corruption in the US territory of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), which is brazenly seeking $100 million from the USdespite $1.6 billion having vanished. 1015-1030 Colonel Grant Newsham assesses South Korea's leftist President Yoon Suk Yeol, describing him as pro-China and anti-US, despite his vow to increase defense spending.

He explains that co-orbital satellites can render ground forces "deaf, dumb and blind." Weichert suggests developing small, cheap "bodyguard satellites" alongside France to protect sensitive US military constellations, acknowledging that space technology is inherently dual-use. 1045-1100 David Maxwell discusses South Korea's military spending increase, the largest in over 15 years, which supports the goal of developing independent warfighting capabilities and transitioning operational control (OPCON). He clarifies that the complexity of OPCON transfer is often misunderstood as a sovereignty issue. Maxwell notes that North Korea is thriving due to growing support from China and Russia, making Kim Jong-un less motivated to normalize relations with the United States. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Preview: Professor John Yoo examines US missile attacks on alleged Venezuelan drug boats, differentiating military force (war) from law enforcement (crime). He suggests that if the Maduro regime is using drug cartels like Tren de Aragua as instruments of attack against the US, it constitutes a state of war, justifying military action. Yoo argues that the president can use force defensively without seeking a declaration of war if the US is attacked first, even unconventionally. 1115-1130 Professor John Yoo examines US missile attacks on alleged Venezuelan drug boats, differentiating military force (war) from law enforcement (crime).

FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Patrycja Bazylczyk defines the Golden Dome as a reorientation of US missile defense policy to counter next-generation threats from near-peer adversaries, Russia and China. The defense, which involves a space component (HBTSS), supports the nuclear triad by strengthening deterrence through both denial and punishment. She notes that critics argue the program is unaffordable (estimated $175 billion) and destabilizing, but stresses the need for sustained, bipartisan funding to build the necessary architecture. 1215-1230 Patrycja Bazylczyk defines the Golden Dome as a reorientation of US missile defense policy to counter next-generation threats from near-peer adversaries, Russia and China.

He emphasizes the critical need for procurement reform and securing domestic supply chains for materials like steel and aluminum. Holt also addresses the military's shift back to a "warrior ethos" away from "woke" culture, suggesting this change is already leading to honorable resignations and retirements among senior officers. 1245-100 AM Preview: Rick Fisher describes Victor Gao as a "Han envoy" used in China's "cognitive warfare" to spread propaganda, including the claim that China has the world's most powerful military. Gao falsely claimed China possesses a "super weapon," the DF-61, armed with 61 nuclear warheads, capable of reaching any global point in 20 minutes. Fisher also analyzes the propaganda surrounding the new Fujian aircraft carrier, noting that claims of its superiority over the USS Ford are easily refutable.
