President Donald Trump has signed off on a massive increase in funding for U.S. immigration enforcement. The legislation, called the Secure America Act, was approved by Congress last week, after a standoff between lawmakers. Democrats said they didn't want to give more funding to the Department of Homeland Security after the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis this winter. But those negotiations fell apart, and now $70 billion will go to ICE and Border Patrol. Supporters say the investment will help the federal government enforce immigration laws and secure the border. Critics argue it gives too much power to the agency and not enough oversight. Heidi Altman is vice president of policy at the National Immigration Law Center. She joined Minnesota Now to talk about the bill and her concerns about what was left out.

And as I said earlier, the modern Left is deranged and dangerous because the ideology creates madness.When you live a lie long enough, reality becomes the enemy. And if reality becomes the enemy, eventually the people telling the truth become targets.Communication is the key. I know that sounds trite, but it is a fact. If you can't communicate with somebody, if you can't let them speak openly without judgment or punishment, the relationship won't survive.And that is what should give people hope: the Left cannot communicate anymore.It can chant. It can accuse. It can cancel. It can threaten. It can scream into a camera like the Constitution personally stole its bicycle.But it cannot persuade.And now we are hearing disturbing details surrounding the man who tried to kill President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.Source to review: https://x.com/ShaneCashman/status/2063345495351734696There is nothing weird, apparently, about Thomas Matthew Crooks emailing a deputy from Butler before the assassination attempt.Nothing weird about him practicing at the same range used by Homeland Security.Nothing weird about local police and Secret Service spotting him with a rangefinder, photographing him, texting about him for over an hour, and still letting him climb onto a roof with a rifle.Nothing weird about the Secret Service not flying drones that day, while Crooks was.Nothing weird about his body being cremated ten days later before Congress could examine it.At some point, the official story doesn't even have to be false to be insulting.Because the pile of coincidences gets so tall it needs aircraft lights.It's one thing to watch judges thwart President Trump's policy agenda. It is another thing to watch them do it with the subtlety of a brass band falling down a staircase.So what if the president's immigration policy works? Since when has success stopped a Leftist judge from interfering?Source to review: https://x.com/C_3C_3/status/2063055778261373344That is what happened with Judge John McConnell, who ordered the Trump administration to restart asylum and immigration processing tied to 39 countries.A federal judge blocked a Trump immigration policy affecting people from those countries, including applications for asylum, work permits, green cards, and citizenship processing.And yes, critics point to McConnell's political donation history. If a judge has a long record of political giving and then produces rulings that read like the Democratic Party's emergency brake, Americans are allowed to ask questions.This is the real problem.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

**Found: How the Trump Administration Rescued 146,000 Migrant Children Abandoned by Biden's Border Policies** In this explosive segment, the hosts review a striking announcement from Senator Markwayne Mullin and the Department of Homeland Security regarding a massive operation to locate unaccompanied migrant children. According to congressional whistleblowers and current investigations, the Biden administration allegedly lost track of up to 450,000 children, many of whom were systematically handed over to cartel gang members posing as family members. The monologue highlights the grim realities discovered on the ground, particularly within sanctuary cities, where law enforcement agencies like ICE, HSI, and CBP have successfully located 146,000 children so far. The commentary slams the previous administration's decision to cancel border DNA testing contracts—which previously served as a crucial defense against human traffickers—and zeroes in on shocking congressional testimony revealing that a designated emergency helpline for these children received 65,000 unanswered calls because it was staffed by only a single person. Contrastingly, the host targets corporate media distractions, arguing that while partisan critics lobbed baseless accusations at Donald Trump, a real, systemic humanitarian disaster was actively ignored under their noses.

**Totalitarian Targets and Trillion-Dollar Tycoons: The Tech Battleground** In this hard-hitting segment, the hosts expose a deeply troubling pattern of tech censorship and foreign policy maneuvering. The monologue begins by breaking down the collision between global capitalism and European speech crackdowns, analyzing the severe legal threats Elon Musk faces overseas. European nations—specifically the UK and Ireland—are threatening to arrest the tech billionaire for violating their restrictive Online Safety Acts after Musk refused to remove a video documenting a horrific migrant attack in Ireland. The hosts detail a series of shocking escalation tactics from European leadership, including Keir Starmer's push for digital IDs to access the internet and algorithmic surveillance tools designed to scan and save private messages before they are encrypted. Shifting focus back to domestic policy, the commentary highlights Department of Homeland Security Head Markwayne Mullin's reports regarding the ongoing border crisis alongside the bizarre funding loops keeping hostile foreign regimes afloat. The segment wraps up with a fiery critique of Senate leadership, accusing institutional elites of intentionally blocking legislation like the "Defund the Taliban Act" while foreign adversaries are systematically built up at the expense of American safety.

**The Double Standards of Power: From Border Failures to Tech Censorship** In this comprehensive broadcast summary, the commentary takes a scorched-earth approach to the systemic double standards plaguing both domestic politics and international diplomacy. The analysis begins on the national stage by contrasting the intense criminal prosecution of citizens using hate symbols with the political insulation enjoyed by progressive figures like Maine Senate primary winner Graham Platner, who successfully maintained his base support despite the confirmation of an SS Totenkopf tattoo. Turning to the border crisis and institutional accountability, the broadcast highlights Department of Homeland Security disclosures alongside congressional testimony detailing thousands of unaccounted-for migrant children. While law enforcement initiatives like South Carolina's recent "Operation Ghost Story" raid at an Abbeville casting plant target localized identity fraud networks, federal leadership faces sharp criticism for administrative failures—including an emergency hotline for trafficked children left systematically unanswered. The episode ties these structural failures to the global stage, examining the volatile shifting lines of the U.S.–Iran conflict. It lambasts a fragile proposed maritime framework that allows Tehran to liquidate billions in oil reserves while failing to neutralize active threat infrastructure. This bureaucratic overreach extends into tech censorship, analyzing European legal threats targeting Elon Musk's refusal to suppress online data, Keir Starmer's push for internet digital IDs, and algorithmic scanning protocols. The broadcast wraps up with a fiery debate on political will, arguing that the nation's primary hurdle is an establishment choosing opaque diplomacy over robust constitutional enforcement.

In its hiring and promotional imagery, the Department of Homeland Security has leaned on a familiar trope: White westerners dominating the frontier. Historian Megan Kate Nelson calls it the frontier myth... that westward expansion was limited to white nuclear families in covered wagons. In her new book "The Westerners," Nelson introduces us to extraordinary historical characters who demonstrate otherwise. We spoke at this year's Mountain Words Festival at Center for the Arts Crested Butte. 

Welcome to your weekly UAS News Update. We have three stories for you this week. First, the FAA adds a new DHS authorization path for World Cup NOTAMs, a firefighting helicopter in Utah dodges an unauthorized drone, and AirData and LeoSight team up to bring live drone data to DFR programs. Let's get to it.First up this week, the FAA is modifying all of its FIFA World Cup 2026 drone NOTAMs to add an authorization pathway through the Department of Homeland Security. If you're flying commercial jobs where these TFRs are, you'll want to pay attention to this. The sweeping flight restrictions took effect on June 1st and immediately started grounding commercial drone operators who already held airspace authorizations. The stadium rings alone run 3 nautical miles wide and 3,000 feet tall on every match day, plus there are 1-nautical-mile rings over base camps in cities, hundreds of miles from any match. To fix this, the FAA is adding language that allows operations inside the Special Security Instruction airspace with DHS authorization. For Part 107 and Part 135 operations, you can now email your request to drones@dhs.gov. You'll need to include which flight restricted zone you plan to fly in, the cities covered, and a 24/7 point of contact. They're starting with the Texas locations first, like Houston and Dallas, before rolling it out to other states. If you don't have permission, or are denied, don't fly… Civil penalties for violating these TFRs can reach $75,000 per violation. And remember, until the amended language actually appears on a specific NOTAM at tfr.faa.gov, the existing restriction stands. So please, check before you fly.Speaking of TFRs, a firefighting helicopter working a brush fire near Moab, Utah, had to dodge an unauthorized drone over the active fire area. Thankfully, nobody was hurt and nothing collided this time, but the drone's presence alone created a serious safety hazard and forced the crew to clear the airspace. This incident comes 17 months after a DJI Mini 3 Pro struck the left wing of a Canadair CL-415 Super Scooper over the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles. That sub-250-gram drone punched a 3-by-6-inch hole in the wing, grounding the aircraft for five days during a massive emergency. The pilot in that case was sentenced to 14 days in federal prison and ordered to pay $156,000 in restitution. This is your reminder as we get into wildfire season, don't be that guy…Last up, LeoSight, a unified command software platform for public safety, has integrated with AirData UAV. This integration streams real-time drone telemetry, flight data, and operational insights directly into LeoSight's LeoCommand system, which includes more than just drones. If you aren't familiar, AirData is a platform that supports logging and live flight streaming. Now, mutual customers can stream drone data straight to dispatchers, command staff, and field personnel all at the exact same time. This means moving beyond isolated drone operations and into a fully coordinated response across multi-agency events. It'll be interesting to see if the sharing of data overwhelms folks who have other responsibilities or leads to better in-the-field decision making. No post flight this week, we'll see you on Monday for the live! Have a good one!https://dronexl.co/2026/06/09/faa-world-cup-notam-dhs-drone-authorization/https://dronexl.co/2026/06/09/moab-helicopter-drone-near-miss-super-scooper/https://dronelife.com/2026/06/10/airdata-uav-and-leosight-bring-live-drone-data-for-dfr-programs/

The Department of Homeland Security is pushing cyber modernization across civilian agencies through CISA programs such as zero trust implementation, Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation, and Trusted Internet Connections 3.0. Budget requests have kept CISA funding near $3 billion, supporting multi-year investments in detection, response, and workforce. Leadership from Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, CISA Director Jen Easterly, and DHS CIO Eric Hysen emphasizes joint defense, binding directives, and cross-component coordination. Workforce constraints persist despite the Cyber Talent Management System, prompting greater use of training and managed services. Acquisition relies on vehicles like FirstSource III, PACTS III, GSA MAS, NASA SEWP, and CDM DEFEND task orders. Compliance requirements now center on OMB secure software guidance, NIST control baselines, FIPS 140-3, and FedRAMP. Vendors that map capabilities to CISA's Zero Trust Maturity Model and prepare attestations and authorizations can better align to agency buying priorities.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

It's Thursday, June 11th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Nigerian court sentences Muslims to death for executing Catholics Last week, a court in the African nation of Nigeria sentenced four Muslim men to death for killing dozens of Catholics. Four years ago, the gunmen attacked a Pentecost Sunday service at a Catholic Church in southwest Nigeria. They killed 41 people, including children. Authorities determined that the armed men belonged to Al-Shabaab, an Islamic terrorist group. The massacre was the first terrorist attack on a church in southern Nigeria.   According to Open Doors, Nigeria is the seventh most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Proverbs 7:14 and 16 says, “Behold, the wicked man conceives evil . . . His mischief returns upon his own head, and on his own skull his violence descends.” Sudanese man arrested in Ireland for attempted beheading Authorities in Northern Ireland arrested a migrant from the African nation of Sudan on Tuesday. Police in Belfast accused him of carrying out a severe knife attack on a man in his 40s. People across the United Kingdom responded to the attempted beheading with protests. The victim was hospitalized with significant injuries to his face, neck, and back. Many U.K. citizens question their government's immigration policies, including Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe. In February, the lawmaker launched a national political party called Restore Britain. The party is devoted to ending mass immigration and also openly recognizes Britain's Christian heritage.  Congress funds $70 billion for ICE and Border Patrol In the United States, President Donald Trump signed the Secure America Act yesterday. The $70 billion package fully funds the Department of Homeland Security. The bill specifically covers U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection for the rest of President Trump's second term.  Listen to comments from House Speaker Mike Johnson after Congress passed the bill. JOHNSON: “The historic mandate that put President Trump in the White House and Republican majorities in both the House and the Senate is evidence of the fact that Democrats' ‘Defund the Police' agenda is wildly out of step with hardworking American families. After four long years of Democrat policies that opened the door to dangerous criminals and deadly drugs, Republicans are delivering on our promise to restore safe streets and secure our borders.” Inflation rose 4.3% Inflation reached a three-year high last month for American consumers.  The cost of goods and services rose 4.2 percent in May compared to a year ago. Rising energy costs drove the inflation. Gasoline prices were up 40 percent from a year earlier.    iPhone launch connected to lower U.S. fertility rate A new study from the National Bureau of Economic Research suggests that the launch of the iPhone contributed to declining fertility rates in the U.S. Apple introduced the iPhone in 2007. The U.S. general fertility rate has fallen by 22 percent since then. People have been spending more time on their smartphones and less time with each other.  The study noted, “Overall, the diffusion of the iPhone explains 33–52% of the decline in the general fertility rate among women aged 15–44.” Southern Baptists: Only men can serve as pastors The Southern Baptist Convention affirmed its position yesterday that only men can serve as pastors. Over 70 percent of the denomination's representatives voted in favor of the “Truth and Unity Amendment.” The measure was sponsored by Albert Mohler Jr., the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. The amendment would require churches in the denomination to not appoint women as pastors, elders, or overseers.  Listen to comments from Dr. Mohler. MOHLER: “This motion makes very clear that we affirm the historic Baptist understanding of the pastor, elder, overseer. The structure of the language I have brought goes all the way back to the 1689 Baptist Confession, where the office and function of the pastor are clearly delineated. “This amendment makes very clear that a church, in friendly cooperation with the Southern Baptist Convention, doesn't have anyone other than a man as pastor in the office of pastor and specifies on the functions of the pastor that the key central function of preaching the Word of God to the gathered assembly is limited to men by Scripture.” 1 Timothy 3:1-2 says, “If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore, an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach.”  Animated movie “David” claims #1 spot on Netflix And finally, the animated film David reached the number one spot on Netflix for movies in the United States over the weekend.  The Bible movie from Angel Studios officially premiered on the streaming service just last Wednesday. (audio from David movie trailer) DAVID: “I'm just a shepherd, but deep down I know I can take on the world.” NARRATOR: “There is a darkness over the land.” SAMUEL:  “Our enemies will strike once more.” MAN: “Imagine the biggest warrior you have ever seen!” DAVID: “Okay.” MAN: “Now imagine somebody ate him.” GIRL: “Remember when I told you God had big plans for you?” GOLIATH: “You will serve us!” GIRL: “They may have been bigger than even I thought.” Christian music artist Phil Wickham voiced the adult David in the movie. Wickham told Crosswalk Headlines the film is “full of the story of God and full of Psalms and full of hallelujah and faith and hope.  … I think this movie will last decades. I think it will be something our grandkids watch.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, June 11th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

He had the trailers. He had the real law-enforcement locations. He had photos of himself grinning beside power players in Washington. The one thing Joseph Medawar didn't have was the show — a patriotic prestige drama about the Department of Homeland Security that he raised millions to produce, and that never aired a single frame. This week, Jonathan and Cooper trace how a B-movie producer in Los Angeles turned a TV series that didn't exist into the most convincing performance of his career — and how long it took the people writing the checks to realize the only thing in production was the con itself.

This conversation, hosted by Todd Miller, about a great borderlands adobe brick building project is going great, until Jacques Servin—of the political performance artist trickster and activist troupe called the Yes Men—fails to grasp the meaning of the term "border security" — at least how it's conveyed to the world by the high brass of the Department of Homeland Security. Though frustrating at first, this leads to a fruitful philosophical conversation and then a possibly paradigm-shifting one. Listen all the way to the end for a provocative proposal about next year's Border Security Expo.

In this episode of The Big Ben Show, Ben Domenech examines Scott Pelley's exit from CBS News and what it reveals about the collapse of trust in legacy media. Ben argues that the media class still has not learned the lessons of 2016 and continues to misunderstand the American people. Later, Sec. Mullin joins the show to discuss why he left the Senate for DHS, the effort to clean up the Department of Homeland Security, the Biden border crisis, and election integrity. Foundation for Defense of Democracies Executive Director Jonathan Schanzer also joins Ben to break down Trump's approach to Iran, the Israel-Iran conflict, and what victory against the Iranian regime should actually look like.

Estados Unidos negó el ingreso a Omar Abdulkadir Artan, uno de los árbitros más reconocidos del fútbol africano que participaría en la Copa del Mundo 2026.

Today's guest is Anne Speckhard, Director of the International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism. She's an expert in rehabilitation and repatriation of terrorists and their families, and has consulted with foreign governments on issues of terrorist prevention, interventions and repatriation; and the rehabilitation and reintegration of ISIS foreign fighters, wives and children. Her latest book, Homegrown Hate, examines the deepening threat of domestic violent extremism in the US through in-depth interviews with current and former members of domestic hate groups. In this episode, Alon and Anne discuss the psychosocial dimensions of violent extremism, what attracts people to these ideologies, how terrorists and violent extremists have been able to utilize social media to draw people in, and what can be done to try to prevent people from falling into extremist ideologies. Anne Speckhard, Ph.D., is Director of the International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism (ICSVE) and served for over 2 decades as Adjunct Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Georgetown University School of Medicine as well as an Affiliate in the Center for Security Studies, Georgetown University. She has interviewed over 800 terrorists, violent extremists, their family members and supporters around the world. Over the past 5 years, she has conducted in-depth psychological interviews with 275 ISIS defectors, returnees and prisoners, as well as 16 al Shabaab cadres, studying their trajectories into and out of terrorism, and their experiences inside ISIS and al Shabaab. Speckhard developed ICSVE's Breaking the ISIS Brand Counter Narrative Project from these interviews, which includes over 250 short counter narrative videos that mimic ISIS recruitment videos but contain actual terrorists strongly denouncing ISIS as un-Islamic, corrupt and brutal. Beginning in 2020, she launched the ICSVE Escape Hate Counter Narrative Project, interviewing 54 white supremacists and members of hate groups, developing counternarratives from their interviews, and creating anti-recruitment videos. She has also conducted rare interviews with five Antifa activists. Dr. Speckhard is also an expert in rehabilitation and repatriation of terrorists and their families. In 2007, she designed the psychological and Islamic aspects of the Detainee Rehabilitation Program in Iraq to be applied to 20,000+ detainees and 800 juveniles. This work led to consulting with foreign governments on issues of terrorist prevention, interventions and repatriation; and the rehabilitation and reintegration of ISIS foreign fighters, wives and children. She has also worked on these issues with NATO, OSCE, UN Women, UNCTED, UNODC, the EU Commission and EU Parliament, and to the US Senate & House, Departments of State, Defense, Justice, Homeland Security, Health & Human Services, and the FBI. Dr. Speckhard actively trains key stakeholders in law enforcement, intelligence, elite hostage negotiation teams, educators, and other professionals in countering violent extremism, locally and internationally, focusing on the psychology of terrorism, the effective use of counter-narrative messaging materials produced by ICSVE, as well as studying the use of children as violent actors. Her consultations and trainings include US, Australian, German, Swiss, Belgian, Iraqi, Jordanian and Thai national police and security officials, among others. She also serves as an expert witness, testifying on a variety of topics pertaining to trauma, loss, dissociation, violent extremism and terrorism. Dr. Speckhard is the author of 5 books & has appeared on CNN, BBC, NPR, Fox News, CTV, CBC, and in the New York Times, London Times, TIME Magazine, Daily Beast and more. She regularly writes a column for Homeland Security Today. Her research has been published in Global Security: Health, Science and Policy, Journal of African Security, Journal of Strategic Security, Journal for Deradicalization, Perspectives on Terrorism & more.

This week I'm talking to Richard Lang about his book 'UAP Incidents First Responders Guide: POLICE - EMS - FD' UFO/UAP Enigma Is Real - Now more than ever it is becoming clear to the general public that UFO/UAP enigma is real. After years of secrecy the truth is finally coming out about vehicles of non-human origin that have visited here, some that have crashed here, and non-human entities both dead and alive that have been recovered. UAP Incident Preparedness for First Responders - Just as officers were once trained in hazardous materials recognition and counterterrorism preparedness, UAP Incident Preparedness will hopefully become a necessary component of public safety operations and training. Law enforcement officers are uniquely vulnerable to UAP encounters due to the isolated and unpredictable nature of patrol work. Therefore, it stands to reason that sheriff's offices, police departments, fire departments and EMS rescue squads would now want their people properly trained to understand this phenomenon, to at least know a little bit about the history of it and most importantly from a personal safety perspective, know what to do and not do if they ever encounter such a situation. Bio Ufologist - Researcher - Investigator - Author - Speaker Richard Lang was an FAA Licensed Commercial Pilot with an Instrument, Multi Engine Rating for over thirty years. He has a bachelor's degree in Aeronautical Studies and an Associate's Degree in Aviation Management from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. Mr. Lang enjoyed a successful career for more than 20 years in the corporate banking world as a Senior Vice President working in Brokerage and the Trust Investment Division of Commercial Banks, which afforded him personal time off and sufficient income to explore a lifelong interest in UFO/UAP research. MUFON STAR TEAM While employed in the corporate banking world during the 1990s, Richard joined the UFO organization known as MUFON and was certified as a Field Investigator; he eventually was appointed as Chief Investigator for MUFON in both Virginia and North Carolina. He was one of the original six members of the elite MUFON STAR team where he functioned as coordinator and the first manager of the team. Virginia Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) Richard attained registration as a Private Investigator and Personal Protection Specialist with DCJS in 2000 and he worked part time for a private investigation firm in Charlottesville doing surveillance and investigation. In 2002, Lang graduated from the Police Academy and certified as a sworn law enforcement officer in Virginia as a Reserve Deputy for the Albemarle County Sheriff's Office, primarily providing volunteer community service on weekends and evenings which he really enjoyed. During this time, he received certification from the Virginia Department of Emergency Services as a Search-Rescue Field Team Leader and was certified as a Weapons of Mass Destruction Responder from the US Department of Justice. Federal Law Enforcement In the post 911 period Mr. Lang left his banking career to serve as a Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) at the rank of Sergeant in Virginia airports. He was sworn both on the federal level as Special Deputy for the U.S. Marshals Service and on the state level as a Deputy Sheriff for the County Sheriff's Office. During this time the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was initially created as Congress had mandated extremely high levels of security for USA Airports. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) After serving for approximately a year as a LEO Richard was hired by Homeland Security and assigned to TSA as a Federal Liaison for airport stakeholders responsible for implementing federal procedures and dealing with regulatory initiatives associated with aviation security. This also included responsibility for airlines and airport authorities as well as all law enforcement agencies in Virginia that respond to airports during aviation emergencies. He was a member of the Anti-Terrorist Advisory Council Board (organized by the U.S. Attorney's Office) where he frequently served as key speaker on terrorism at quarterly regional meeting hosted by Homeland Security. http://www.langpublication.com/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GNMK85XR https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/ https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcast https://simonbown.com/ My new book, Aspects of Alien Abduction https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9Y Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Most of us spend a good portion of our lives looking for the right words. The ones that explain who we are. What we believe. What we're here for. Some people find them early. Others take a longer route — through careers that almost fit, through places that challenge everything they thought they knew, through questions that don't resolve so much as deepen. My guests today have both built businesses around helping people find their voice. For Sarah Mary Toce-Donlon, that voice often comes from above. Sarah Mary works in communications at UL Lafayette and is building a business as a professional speaker. She offers speaking engagements, retreats, workshops, and leadership development . Her presentations weave together theology, philosophy, psychology, and leadership principles. Sarah Mary grew up in Lafayette, and an internship with Homeland Security during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill led her to an early career in nonprofit work and disaster management. She later earned a Master of Divinity from Boston College — and that move to Massachusetts was a turning point. She describes the experience as one that broke her mind open, that challenged her worldview and deepened her understanding of faith and humanity. After years in nonprofit work and communications, she came back to her calling as a public speaker. Her clients include Catholic school teacher retreats, corporate leadership trainings, church lecture series, and continuing education workshops for educators. Having a strong voice is pretty important if you want to be a good writer. We talk about it all the time in my newsroom. Voice communicates everything, and it’s just as essential on the page as it is from the stage. If you’re an author looking to develop a strong voice, you might need the services of a good editor like my guest Keondria Francis. Keondria is owner operator of The Assembly Literary, a brand that houses her services as an editor-for-hire for independent authors. Independent authors carry a particular burden: they are the publisher, the marketer, and the writer, all at once. Keondria tries to lighten that load. She offers manuscript evaluation, copy and line editing, proofreading, coaching sessions, and digital resources — including character development outlines she created after noticing how many authors struggled to build believable, relatable characters. Her editing philosophy centers on one principle: improve the manuscript without losing the writer's voice — an approach that blends African American Vernacular English with traditional grammar standards when it serves the story. Keondria works with two to three clients a month, most of them repeat authors. About 95 percent are self-published. She's now expanding — adding a proofreader to her team, and planning to launch her own publishing company by end of year. Her first project will be her own novel.

From May 2, 2025: As the Trump administration seeks to escalate its immigration crackdown, the government has turned to a concerning source of information for data on immigrants: the Social Security Administration. Reports indicate that Elon Musk's DOGE initiative and the Department of Homeland Security successfully pushed Social Security officials to provide access to what's commonly known as the “Death Master File,” allowing the government to mark living immigrants as dead in the Social Security Administration's systems. The goal, according to press reports, is to make the lives of these individuals so difficult that they choose to leave the country. What exactly is the Death Master File, and why is this strategy so alarming? To understand, Lawfare Senior Editor Quinta Jurecic spoke to Kathleen Romig, Director of Social Security and Disability Policy at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, and Devin O'Connor, a senior fellow at the center. They explained the unsettling implications of tinkering with the Death Master File and situated these efforts within the broader scope of the Trump administration—and DOGE's—repeated attacks on Social Security.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, WJNO's Brian Mudd fills in for Mark. The AI jobs boom is coming. But there's a tale of two economies, where investors have enjoyed a phenomenal stock market run driven by AI, while everyday life feels strained by high gas and grocery prices. Despite concerns over AI job losses, Iran-related issues, and costs, there is strong economic momentum and Reaganomics-style trickle-down effects, with wealth from companies redeploying across the economy.  April saw 115,000 jobs added driven by actual American workers, with 3.6% wage growth exceeding inflation. Tech jobs cut by AI have been more than offset by gains in construction, utilities, and AI-supporting infrastructure, signaling booming AI-related job creation in the early months of this shift. Meanwhile, the current average gas price is around $4.24 per gallon; even if sustained all year on an inflation-adjusted basis, it would rank only as the 9th most expensive year in U.S. history, with four of the top five (including the top three) most expensive years occurring under the Obama administration. Also, President Trump sidelined Maduro in Venezuela—redirecting its vast oil reserves (previously 80% to China, though only 2% of China's supply) to the US via Chevron, boosting production 50%—and now targeting Iran (47% of China's oil), Trump has disrupted China's new Axis network of allies (including Russia, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua). This strategically hampers China's military capabilities, preventing escalation to World War III.  Later, this version of the Democrat party is the most dangerous yet.  Sen Chuck Schumer opposed funding reconciliation for the Department of Homeland Security, including $140 billion for Border Patrol and ICE. Democrats' support for the BLM-led defund the police movement caused total crime rates to rise 30% and murders 44% in embracing communities, with devastating effects. Open border policies under President Biden allowed criminal illegal aliens to run rampant, committing a quarter of all U.S. crime. If you vote for Democrats, you are voting for more murders and crime to take place. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Subscribe to our YouTube channel On our political radar this week… Donald Trump says he's getting bored with his war, doesn't care about the mid-terms … but is laser focused on what matters: his reflecting pond renovation, diverting money from national parks for his D.C. cleanup, the Arc ‘d Trump, taking over DC golf courses, the UFC version of the ancient gladiator battles to the death, and reminding us daily that he's passed a dementia screening test four times. His latest middle finger to the nation: suggesting that the Las Vegas-style Fight Club arena on what used to be the White House lawn become a permanent part of the landscape. Vegas has the Dome and Elvis Wedding chapel; the home of Presidents, if Trump has his way, will have its own dome and a massive wedding reception hall. And it's being reported that Trump is looting money from National Parks maintenance to pay for his July 4 fireworks show, the Reflecting Pool, a White House helipad and DC cleanup projects. He'll burn up 1.6-million dollars blowing up stuff on the 4th … even as he burns up billions every week blowing up stuff in Iran. In an administration populated by the absolutely worst cabinet in American history, Trump manages to lower the bar even further with the appointment of Michigander housing developer and certified Trump suck-up Bill Pulte as acting Director of National Intelligence, a job for which he has absolutely no qualifications. Actors Matt Damon and John Krasinski … a.k.a. Jason Bourne and Jack Ryan … would be more qualified. Adding the the Bad Cabinet Blues: the new director of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullins, says as far as he's concerned following court orders is optional. Michigan Democrats are optimistic after making the case to the national party that Michigan should be in the first tier of 2028 presidential primaries. The state party has also rejected appeals related to vote counting in the April endorsement convention. Will the dispute extend to the official nominating convention in August? The state House has turned down a Republican-drafted constitutional amendment which would make all university boards and the State Board of Education gubernatorial appointed bodies instead of elected. Speaker Matt Hall didn't bother to talk with Democrats before putting the measure up for a vote. With a two-thirds vote needed to pass, it didn't come close to adoption, but could be revived for the November election. We are just 50 days away from the start of early voting in Michigan. The four races to watch: the 3-way Republican contest for the opportunity to battle Jocelyn Benson for Governor; the 3-way Democratic contest to battle Mike Rogers for the U.S. Senate; and multi-candidate Democratic primaries for Congressional seats based in Lansing and Macomb County. Speculation has begun over who may be in the running for President of Michigan State University in the wake of last week's departure of Kevin Guskiewicz. Will it be a relatively unknown academic, or a high-powered retired politician? There's precedent for both routes…although the highest profile possibility, Gretchen Whitmer, has already announced she is not interested in the gig. Republicans in Congress are starting to push back on Trump outrages – the House passing a measure to stop Trump's Middle East war, Senators stripping the one-billion-dollar subsidy for his ballroom from the DHS budget, and both chambers primed to outlaw efforts to revive the $1.8-billion slush fund for rewarding January 6 rioters and other Trump fans. It's interesting that congressional Republicans only started to show signs of life after candidate filing deadlines. Michigan Congressman Tom Barrett, who no longer faces the possibility of a primary challenge, was one of four Republicans voting this week to end the Iran War.  The political threat to non-compliant Republicans for pushing back against Great Leader comes as doubts about Trump's mental and physical health grow. His third physical examination since taking office coupled with an incomplete post-exam report on what the doctors learned, his reduced work schedule, the cankles and bruising – have increased the speculation. It sure looks like both his political and mental powers are in decline. This week's best political giggle: an AI doctored photo of Senate candidate Mike Rogers, turning his relatively fit 63-year-old body into a modern-day Charles Atlas. What the heck – it's easier than hours in the gym, or even going on Ozempic. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Introducing our new podcast!

The Department of Homeland Security has posted a proposed contract for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to use a private prison facility in western Minnesota to hold up to 1,600 immigrant detainees. That's according to a contract proposal issued Thursday that seeks to use Prairie Correctional Facility in Appleton, owned by CoreCivic. Gov. Tim Walz has requested the extradition of a Texas ICE agent to Minnesota to face assault charges related to the shooting of a man in Minneapolis during the federal enforcement surge.Those stories and more in today's evening update from MPR News.

The Senate passed a $70 billion immigration enforcement package on Friday after an overnight vote-a-rama on Capitol Hill. The Senate voted 52–47 to approve the legislation, with no support from ‌Democrats. The bill funds Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol through the remainder of President Donald Trump's second term, and now heads to the House. The legislation follows months of partisan clashes over immigration enforcement and Homeland Security funding.The U.S. labor market remained hot in May, with hiring momentum continuing heading into the summer. New government data released on June 5 show the economy added 172,000 jobs last month, from the upwardly revised 179,000 in April. Economists had penciled in a reading of 85,000.

The legislation follows months of partisan clashes over immigration enforcement and Homeland Security funding.The United States imposed new sanctions on Cuban leader Miguel Diaz-Canel, his wife, and several other officials on Thursday. The move follows a broader sanctions push under Trump aimed at increasing pressure on the Cuban government over repression and national security concerns. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Cuba has been the world capital for radical left-wing terrorism for decades, accusing the regime of recruiting, training, and backing violent Marxist movements across the hemisphere and beyond.Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez called the sanctions "despicable" in a post on social media, describing them as the latest example of U.S. interventionism. "Every U.S. action aimed ​at creating a ​scenario of ⁠conflict between the two countries is doomed to failure," Rodriguez said.Trump has announced plans for what he calls "The Greatest Rally, Ever" in Washington, as part of celebrations marking America's 250th anniversary. The president says the event will feature patriotic music, military bands, and performances by Lee Greenwood and Christopher Macchio. The president is also promoting a series of restoration and construction projects across the capital, including repairs to fountains and the iconic Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. We're Paying for Fraud Clay Travis and Buck Sexton talk about the massive government fraud and systemic inefficiencies, particularly within healthcare programs like Medicare and Medicaid. The hosts highlight a Department of Justice crackdown in Ohio involving fraud schemes totaling over $50 million, emphasizing that such cases are only “the tip of the iceberg.” Clay and Buck argue that healthcare fraud is a nationwide crisis, driven by bureaucratic complexity, lack of transparency, and excessive government involvement in the healthcare system. They cite examples of fraudulent billing practices—including cases where providers billed for nonexistent or even deceased patients—and criticize a system that allows billions in taxpayer funds to be misused. A key focus of the discussion is how healthcare costs and administrative bloat contribute to both inefficiency and fraud. The hosts point to the massive number of healthcare administrators and argue that the current structure incentivizes maximizing billing rather than delivering patient care. They also examine how ordinary Americans are disconnected from the true cost of healthcare, which reduces accountability and enables exploitation. Listener input reinforces this argument, with one caller suggesting that reintroducing direct patient financial responsibility could help restore cost discipline and reduce abuse. The Guy Behind the AI Pratt Videos Clay and Buck interview filmmaker Charles Curran, the creator behind the viral pro–Spencer Pratt AI political ads, which have become a major talking point in the ongoing Los Angeles mayoral race. They talk about the rise of artificial intelligence in political campaigns and digital media. Curran explains how his small team of four used emerging AI video tools to produce high-impact, low-cost campaign content that garnered hundreds of millions of views across social media and traditional platforms. The hosts emphasize that this represents a transformational shift in political communication, comparing AI-generated campaign videos to modern-day “political cartoons” that can cut through media noise and engage younger voters. They argue that AI-driven storytelling—rooted in humor, cultural relevance, and perceived authenticity—has the potential to disrupt traditional campaign advertising and lower production costs while dramatically increasing reach and influence. The interview also highlights growing dissatisfaction with conditions in Los Angeles, which inspired Curran’s work. He describes widespread concerns about crime, homelessness, public safety, and urban decay, noting that these issues extend beyond traditionally lower-income neighborhoods into more affluent areas. Clay and Buck connect this to a broader political narrative, suggesting that grassroots frustration with governance in California is fueling outsider candidates and unconventional campaign strategies like the Spencer Pratt movement. College Sports is the Wild, Wild West Clay and Buck interview House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, who outlines the legislative agenda heading into the summer and addresses key policy debates dominating Washington. A major focus is the ongoing effort to reform college athletics and NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) policies, a rapidly evolving issue in sports law and governance. Scalise explains that Congress is working to reconcile differences between competing House and Senate bills aimed at restoring structure to what he describes as a “wild west” environment in college sports. He highlights concerns about lack of NCAA enforcement power, inconsistent state rules, athlete exploitation by agents, and the risk of athletes being classified as employees. The discussion emphasizes the need for antitrust protections, athlete safeguards, financial literacy programs, and standardized rules to stabilize college athletics while maintaining competitiveness across conferences. The conversation then shifts to legislative priorities and government reform, with Scalise detailing efforts to pass funding for the Department of Homeland Security, combat massive healthcare fraud, and address housing affordability. A key talking point is the discovery of tens of billions of dollars in alleged fraud within federal healthcare programs, reinforcing a broader theme across the show about government inefficiency and the need for stronger oversight. The hosts and Scalise frame these initiatives as part of a broader push to reduce wasteful spending, improve national security, and deliver tangible economic benefits for American households. Clay and Buck Going to Hollywood? Clay and Buck talk with bestselling author Brad Thor, who joins the show to discuss his latest thriller Choke Point, the future of storytelling, and the intersection of fiction with real-world geopolitics. Thor provides insights into his writing process, explaining how he develops plotlines inspired by current events—such as China’s Belt and Road Initiative—and transforms them into high-stakes geopolitical thrillers. He also shares his views on artificial intelligence in creative industries, arguing that while AI can generate content, it lacks the human creativity and emotional depth needed for compelling storytelling. The discussion with Thor expands into Hollywood, streaming platforms like Netflix, and the adaptation of books into movies and television, highlighting a growing trend of multimedia storytelling. Thor also previews upcoming projects, including a major film adaptation of his work, underscoring the continued convergence of traditional publishing and visual media in today’s entertainment landscape.

DESCRIPTION A stunning congressional primary victory in New Jersey is igniting controversy nationwide. Tara examines the background of Democratic nominee Adam Hominoye, his past associations with figures tied to terrorism investigations, and why critics believe the story represents a major shift in American politics. The show also explores broader concerns about national security, immigration enforcement, and the direction of the Democratic Party. PODCAST SUMMARY Today's show focused on the Democratic primary victory of Adam Hominoye in New Jersey and the growing controversy surrounding his past associations during the 1990s. Tara examined reports connecting Hominoye to Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, commonly known as the "Blind Sheikh," who was convicted on terrorism-related charges connected to multiple plots and attacks in the United States. According to information discussed during the show, Hominoye served as a translator for Rahman, traveled with him, and later testified as a defense witness during legal proceedings. The conversation also explored Hominoye's reported work with the Benevolence International Foundation, an organization later designated by U.S. authorities as having ties to terrorist financing networks. Tara argued that such associations would have been politically disqualifying in previous eras and questioned why the story has not generated broader national scrutiny. The show then shifted toward Hominoye's policy positions, including reported support for dismantling federal immigration enforcement agencies, restructuring Homeland Security, and dramatically reducing military spending. Tara argued that these proposals reflect a growing ideological shift within portions of the Democratic Party. Throughout the discussion, Tara framed the story as part of a larger debate about national security, border enforcement, political extremism, and the standards candidates are held to when seeking public office. KEY TAKEAWAYS Adam Hominoye secured a Democratic congressional primary victory in New Jersey. Questions continue to surround his past associations with Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman.

DESCRIPTION A fiery show today as Tara takes aim at both parties, blasting President Trump's handling of Iran while sounding the alarm over a controversial Democratic congressional nominee with a history that is generating national attention. From Middle East tensions to questions about extremism and border security, today's broadcast covered what Tara calls two of the most consequential stories in America. PODCAST SUMMARY Today's show opened with a passionate critique of President Trump's recent approach toward Iran following a series of attacks on U.S. interests in the Middle East. Tara argued that Iran has repeatedly tested American resolve through attacks on U.S. military installations and personnel, while receiving concessions instead of consequences. She compared the current strategy to policies she previously criticized under both President Biden and President Obama, insisting that the same standards should apply regardless of party affiliation. The discussion centered on reports that the administration is seeking a diplomatic agreement with Iran rather than expanding military operations. Tara questioned whether publicly signaling restraint could encourage additional attacks and argued that Iran's leadership continues to view concessions as signs of weakness. The show then shifted to a New Jersey Democratic primary race, focusing on candidate Adam Hominoye and his past associations with controversial figures and organizations during the 1990s. Tara argued that information about his background has received little national scrutiny and claimed that previous generations of candidates would have faced far greater political consequences for similar associations. The conversation expanded into broader concerns about immigration enforcement, Homeland Security, border policy, and what Tara described as a growing radicalization within portions of the Democratic Party. The central theme of the broadcast was accountability: whether political leaders should be judged consistently regardless of party and whether voters are receiving the full picture about candidates seeking public office. KEY STORIES Trump's Iran Policy Under Fire Tara criticized the administration's decision to pursue negotiations while Iran continues hostile actions against American interests. The Cost of Deterrence Questions remain about whether diplomatic restraint prevents a wider war or encourages further aggression. New Jersey Congressional Controversy A Democratic primary victory sparked debate over a candidate's past associations and whether the media is giving the story adequate attention. Border Security Debate Intensifies The discussion expanded into immigration enforcement, ICE, Border Patrol, and the future of Homeland Security policy. Political Double Standards Tara argued that politicians should be judged by the same standards regardless of party affiliation.

Breaking! The president is bugf*** insane! But first … docket alerts. Dun-dun-DUNNNNN.   We've reached the "yelling at chestnuts for being lazy" stage of the presidency, as Trump barks out ever-nuttier orders.    Meanwhile in Texas, Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk managed to moot the appeal of an LGBTQ+ student group at West Texas A&M which sued in 2023 to enjoin their school's ban on drag shows. All he had to do was rush out an opinion in 48 hours saying that drag shows are not expressive conduct covered by the First Amendment. And lie about Fifth Circuit precedent!   TG we have at least one good legal development, this time out of Minnesota!   For the main show, we'll break down the legal implications of Elon Musk building a chatbot in his own abusive troll image. Will the Take It Down Act put a stop to AI generation of deepfake CSAM and NCII?    Meanwhile over at the Department of Homeland Security, Secretary Kristi Noem and her minions are a wee smidge confused about the Fourth Amendment. If you can even believe it! But even a blind squirrel gets a nut once in a while. DHS wins a round against legislators seeking to inspect ICE detention facilities thanks to some creative accounting. But the victory may be short-lived.]   And subscribers will get another visit with that Overstock.com weirdo Patrick Byrne, who managed to lose a defamation case against the most defamation-proof defendant in America.

DOCKET ALERTS:   Anthropic got its injunction against the Department of Defense and Pete Hegseth's designation of the company as a supply chain risk.   Elon Musk lost a shareholder class action suit in California over sh*tposts he made when he was trying to get out of buying Twitter. He demands a new trial because the jury made a 420 joke, and everyone knows that only he is allowed to do that. Meanwhile in Texas, X Corp lost a lawsuit against a bunch of Fortune 500 companies for daring to take their business elsewhere   Trump housing goon Bill Pulte is back on his BS, trying again to get someone to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James, this time for insurance fraud.   Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is threatening NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell that there will be hell to pay if he doesn't ditch the Rooney Rule.   And Minnesota law enforcement and prosecutors sued the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security for blockading the evidence in the shootings of Renee Good, Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, and Alex Pretti.   MAIN SHOW:   The Eighth Circuit joins the Fifth in endorsing ICE's fakakta interpretation of the mandatory detention statute.    Facebook/Meta/Zuckerberg loses in two courts — just like Elon/Twitter! In New Mexico, a jury ordered the company to pay $375 million in lawsuit brought by the state over unfair trade practices. And a jury in California awarded $6 million to a woman who became addicted to social media as a little girl and suffered serious emotional consequences.   SUBSCRIBERS:   For seven months, the DOJ told a court that ICE had revised its policy on arrests inside courthouses, including immigration courts. Only … they hadn't. Now a federal judge in New York is on the warpath, and DOJ is trying to make sure that DHS takes the fall.

Amid a politically punishing backlash against Donald Trump's flagrant $1.776 billion money grab for his criminal allies, a judge is considering whether to investigation if the "IRS settlement" on which the slush fund is based began as a legitimate court case or was a fraud on the court from the beginning. Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance talks with Rachel Maddow about the legal guidelines the judge is considering. Rachel Maddow looks at how federal prosecutors in Chicago crossed important lines of propriety in their desperation to secure indictments in politically charged cases and now face an angry backlash from a judge who is not at all pleased with their conduct. Chris Parente, defense attorney for a Chicago anti-ICE protester, talks with Rachel Maddow about pressing misconduct accusations against federal prosecutors who have been exposed for unethical behavior in trying to indict his client.   Senator Andy Kim joins Rachel to talk about the protests at the Delaney Hall immigrant prison in Newark, New Jersey, and the abuses by the Department of Homeland Security broadly across the United States.

Acting Attorney General Blanche told lawmakers Tuesday that the Justice Department is scrapping plans to create a $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization fund." It's a setback for Trump, after Republican senators made clear they did not have the votes to advance a Homeland Security funding bill unless the White House either scaled back or eliminated the fund.

On this Monday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid recaps yesterday's wonderful festivities up and down fifth avenue in Manhattan, where a sea of blue and white gathered to celebrate the Jewish state in Israel during the city's annual Israel Day Parade without its Mayor in Israel-hating Zohran Mamdani.

Since his reelection, President Trump has been fixated on illegal immigration in the US, but now the President is taking on immigrants who are here legally. A new policy memo would require some people seeking green cards to leave the country while they wait abroad for their applications to be processed. The memo, which is vague on how this process would work, is already raising concerns for green card holders. We talk with immigration reporters and an immigration attorney about what this change means and who it impacts most. Guests: Hamed Aleaziz, reporter covering the Department of Homeland Security and immigration policy, The New York Times Michelle Hackman, reporter covering U.S. immigration policy, The Wall Street Journal Alexis S. Axelrad, president-elect, American Immigration Lawyers Association; partner, Barst & Mukamal LLP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
