In typical "tail-wagging-the-dog" fashion, Donald Trump tries to distract the attention of the American people from his many and mounting problems by launching an unlawful attack on a foreign sovereign nation, Venezuela.He then goes on TV on the morning of January 6th 2026, and gives a long, rambling press conference - his decline and dementia on full display - and tries to distract the American people from the fact that today marks the fifth anniversary of Trump's attack on and refusal to stop once in progress the United States Capitol. But Trump's distractions will fail. The people of the United States, who are dedicated to the rule of law and determined to preserve American democracy, will not be distracted. To that end, a group of us will be at an event at the National Press Club in DC to commemorate the January 6 anniversary.The event is being hosted by Jim Acosta and can be live streamed on Jim's Substack and YouTube channels.

This Day in Legal History: Federal Court Strikes Down “Balanced Treatment” Law in ArkansasOn January 5, 1982, a federal district court in Arkansas issued a landmark ruling in McLean v. Arkansas Board of Education, striking down a state law that required public schools to give “balanced treatment” to both evolution and creation science. The law, known as Act 590, had been passed in 1981 and mandated that schools teach creationism—defined in the statute as a scientific model based on a literal interpretation of the Bible—alongside evolution. The law was immediately challenged by a coalition of clergy, educators, and scientists who argued that it violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.Judge William Overton ruled that Act 590 was unconstitutional because it advanced a particular religious viewpoint under the guise of science. In his decision, Overton provided a clear and influential definition of what constitutes science, stating that scientific theories must be guided by natural law, testable, and subject to falsification. He found that “creation science” failed all of these criteria and was therefore religious in nature, not scientific. The court also concluded that requiring its teaching in public schools constituted state endorsement of religion.The ruling marked one of the first major judicial rejections of efforts to include religious doctrine in public school science curricula following the U.S. Supreme Court's earlier decision in Epperson v. Arkansas (1968), which struck down laws banning the teaching of evolution altogether. McLean v. Arkansas would go on to shape the legal and educational landscape in future church-state separation cases, including the pivotal 1987 Supreme Court decision Edwards v. Aguillard, which similarly invalidated a Louisiana law promoting creationism in schools.Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro appeared in a New York court after a surprise U.S. military operation captured him in Caracas. The high-stakes raid, likened to the 1989 Panama invasion, involved U.S. Special Forces breaching Maduro's security and flying him to Manhattan, where he faces drug trafficking and narco-terrorism charges. His wife, Cilia Flores, was also captured. Maduro is accused of running a cocaine network in collaboration with major criminal groups like Mexico's Sinaloa cartel and Colombia's FARC.The capture sparked international outrage. Russia, China, Cuba, and other allies condemned the raid, while U.S. allies cautiously emphasized legality and diplomacy. The U.N. Security Council is set to review the operation's legality. Meanwhile, Venezuela's acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, shifted from initial outrage to signaling willingness for cooperation with the U.S., a notable pivot considering her past as a fiery Chavista loyalist.President Trump justified the move as a counter to drug smuggling, illegal immigration, and the past nationalization of U.S. oil assets. He also made clear his aim to reopen Venezuela's oil sector to U.S. companies. However, he has sidelined Venezuela's opposition leaders, disappointing figures like María Corina Machado. Despite Maduro's removal, his political allies remain in power, and the military's loyalty appears unchanged. Venezuelans at home are wary, bracing for possible unrest.Venezuela's Maduro due in court, loyalists send message to Trump | ReutersTrump's efforts to further reshape the federal judiciary in 2026 are facing a slowdown due to a shortage of vacancies. After returning to office in 2025, Trump secured the confirmation of 26 judicial nominees—more than in the first year of his initial term. However, only 30 new judicial seats have opened since then, compared to the 108 vacancies available when he first took office in 2017. This is largely due to aggressive judicial appointments by both Trump and former President Biden over the past decade, which filled many potential retirements with younger judges.Some judges eligible for senior status—a form of semi-retirement—have opted to remain active. Experts suggest this could be due to either personal preference or distrust among conservative judges about Trump's choices for replacements. The appellate court nominations have particularly slowed, with only three judges announcing retirements in 2025. Still, Trump managed to flip the balance of the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals and strengthen conservative influence in district courts across states like Missouri, Florida, and Mississippi.Despite the low number of available seats—currently 49—Trump still has opportunities to make appointments, especially in Republican-led states. However, 13 of those vacancies are in states with at least one Democratic senator, triggering the “blue slip” custom, which allows senators to block judicial nominees from their states. While this tradition doesn't apply to appellate courts, it still limits district court nominations. Senate Republicans remain divided on whether to uphold the blue slip norm.Trump's ability to further reshape judiciary in 2026 hindered by few vacancies | ReutersIn 2026, U.S. law schools are facing a mix of rising interest in legal education and mounting regulatory and financial pressures. A major shift comes from President Trump's 2025 budget, which capped federal loans for professional degrees at $50,000 annually and $200,000 total. With many law schools charging over $50,000 per year (excluding living costs), incoming students may need to seek private loans, which often come with higher interest rates and stricter credit requirements. In response, some schools—like Santa Clara University—are offering across-the-board scholarships to help bridge the gap.Law school accreditation is also in flux. The American Bar Association (ABA), traditionally the primary accreditor, is facing political attacks over its diversity standards and regulatory burden. Texas is planning to develop its own law school approval system for bar eligibility, and other states like Florida and Ohio are exploring similar options. The ABA is now working to streamline its standards amid this pressure.July 2026 will also see the debut of the “NextGen UBE,” a shorter, skills-focused national bar exam that replaces some memorization with practical assessment. Some states, however, are opting out or creating their own licensing alternatives.Meanwhile, artificial intelligence is gaining traction in legal education. A growing number of law schools are integrating AI training into their curricula, and platforms like Harvey are being adopted by faculty and students alike.Despite the looming challenges, interest in law school remains strong. Applicant numbers rose 20% over the previous year, building on an 18% increase in 2024, and first-year enrollment is also trending upward.US law schools face loan limits, oversight pressures in 2026 | ReutersU.S. courts are poised to play a decisive role in shaping how copyright law applies to generative AI this year, as lawsuits from major publishers, creators, and tech companies come to a head. At issue is whether AI developers like OpenAI, Google, Meta, and others can invoke the legal doctrine of fair use when training models on copyrighted materials, or whether they must pay license fees—potentially amounting to billions.The legal landscape shifted dramatically in 2025. A class action by authors against Anthropic resulted in a $1.5 billion settlement, the largest of its kind, while The New York Times, Disney, and other major rights holders filed fresh lawsuits. Judges began issuing preliminary rulings on whether AI training qualifies as transformative fair use, with conflicting outcomes. One judge called AI training “quintessentially transformative,” supporting tech companies' claims, while another warned that generative AI could harm creators by saturating the market with competing content.Several high-profile cases remain active in 2026, including those involving AI-generated music and visual art. Meanwhile, some copyright holders are choosing collaboration over litigation. Disney, for example, invested $1 billion in OpenAI and granted use of its characters, while Warner Music dropped lawsuits against AI firms to co-develop music tools. These deals hint at possible industry-wide licensing frameworks, though ongoing litigation could still dramatically reshape the economic and legal norms governing AI.AI copyright battles enter pivotal year as US courts weigh fair use | Reuters This is a public episode.

In this New Year's Day episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold opens 2026 with a candid, free-flowing broadcast that blends reflection, headlines, and philosophical critique. Jon sets the tone by explaining his approach to the show, engaging directly with chat, and revisiting the Badlands New Year's Eve stream before turning to expectations for the year ahead. A central focus of the episode is Chief Justice John Roberts' year-end report on the federal judiciary, which Jon reads through and sharply critiques, questioning claims of judicial independence, fidelity to the Founders' intent, and the modern interpretation of the Declaration of Independence. The discussion expands into the concept of mandate, narrative warfare, and public consent, drawing parallels between Thomas Paine's Common Sense and today's information battles. Jon also touches on Minnesota fraud cases, accountability gaps, national debt, economic indicators, Trump statements, and cultural commentary, closing with an emphasis on tempering expectations, resisting psyops, and staying grounded as 2026 begins.

In an absurd twist that makes a mockery of a once-respected law enforcement institution, Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi have decided to create a 2nd Amendment Gun Rights unit at the Department of Justice.They have gutted DOJ's Civil Rights Section, Public Integrity Section, and Environmental Crimes and Enforcement sections, apparently concluding that voting rights don't need to be protected, public corruption and political grift don't need to be punished or deterred, and the environment does not need protection either. Notwithstanding that the United State has more guns per capita than any other country in the world, and more mass shootings - 401 thus far in 2025 - more than any other country, more guns is what America needs to be safer. This kind of imbecility endangers all Americans.

In July of this year, Kash Patel's FBI issued a statement publicly assuring the American people that Kash and company had done an "exhaustive" review of all of the Epstein files - specifically assuring us the review was "thorough." Yet now, we are told that Patel, Pam Bondi, and Trump's other DOJ leadership apparently missed one million Epstein documents. Bondi is already in violation of the federal law that required ALL Epstein files to be disclosed publicly by December 19. Now, the DOJ tells the American people that the are going to need even more time to review these "newly found" documents. Glenn reviews the top five takeaways from this new legal development.

The Supreme Court has put a stop to Trump's efforts to militarize the streets of America. Specifically, they ruled that Trump cannot federalize Illinois National Guard troops and deploy them to the streets of Chicago. This is one of the first times the Supreme Court has pushed back on Trump's dictatorial zeal, and it's a ruling that likely will have broad implications regarding Trump's efforts to militarize Portland, Oregon, Los Angeles, California, and beyond. This development comes at the same time Trump is being devastated by new releases of the Epstein files, and at the same time - a lawsuit is filed to remove Trump's name from the Kennedy Center, and at the same time - a federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to bring back the Venezuelan immigrants they unconstitutionally deported to El Salvador.It feels like Trump is losing power.

Understanding Gross Income: The Foundation of Tax LawThis conversation delves into the intricate world of gross income and its foundational role in tax law. It explores the expansive definition of gross income as outlined in Section 61 of the Internal Revenue Code, the judicial interpretations that have shaped its understanding, and the critical importance of realization in determining taxable income. The discussion also covers common categories of income, statutory exclusions, and the administrative choices made by the IRS that impact taxation. Additionally, it addresses timing rules and the claim of right doctrine, emphasizing the tension between inclusion and exclusion in tax law.In the world of tax law, understanding the concept of gross income is crucial. It's the bedrock upon which the entire tax system is built. This blog post explores the intricacies of gross income, drawing insights from landmark cases and statutory provisions.The Broad Net of Section 61: Section 61 of the Internal Revenue Code casts a wide net, defining gross income as "all income from whatever source derived." This expansive definition ensures that nearly every form of economic gain is captured, from wages and business income to unexpected windfalls.Judicial Interpretation and the Glenshaw Glass Test: The Supreme Court's decision in Commissioner v. Glenshaw Glass established a three-part test for determining income: an undeniable accession to wealth, clearly realized, and under the taxpayer's complete dominion. This test has become a cornerstone of tax law, guiding the inclusion of various forms of income.Navigating Exclusions and Exceptions: While the presumption is that all accessions to wealth are income, there are statutory exclusions, such as gifts and inheritances under Section 102. The Duberstein case highlights the importance of the giver's intent in distinguishing between a gift and compensation.The Role of Realization: Realization is a critical concept in tax law, determining when income is recognized. The Eisner v. McComber case illustrates that mere appreciation in value is not enough; a specific event, like a sale, must occur to trigger taxation.Understanding gross income is essential for navigating the complexities of tax law. By mastering the principles of inclusion, realization, and statutory exclusions, one can effectively analyze and apply tax rules. As the IRS continues to adapt to new economic realities, the definition of gross income will undoubtedly evolve, shaping the future of tax law.Subscribe now to stay updated on the latest insights in tax law and beyond.TakeawaysGross income is the foundation of tax law.The definition of gross income is expansive and includes all accessions to wealth.Judicial interpretations, particularly the Glenshaw Glass case, have shaped the understanding of income.Realization is crucial; income is only taxed when it is realized through a specific event.Gifts and inheritances are excluded from gross income under Section 102.Illegal income is still considered taxable income.The claim of right doctrine allows taxpayers to deduct repayments in the year they occur.Administrative choices by the IRS can lead to non-taxation of certain accessions to wealth.Timing rules are essential for understanding when income is recognized for tax purposes.The tension between inclusion and exclusion reflects the policy goals of the tax system.gross income, tax law, judicial interpretation, Glenshaw Glass, realization, income categories, tax exclusions, administrative choices, timing rules, general welfare exception

When it comes to January 6, 2021, we see what Donald Trump is trying to do. He's trying to whitewash it, he's trying to rewrite history, he's trying to turn a day of what we all saw was democracy-busting violence and hate into "a day of love."The good news is, Trump can't get away with it. Why? Because there are great journalists, authors, and historians who have documented or are documenting exactly what January 6 was really all about. One of those authors is Nora Neus. Nora has authored a great new book that's about to be published called, "24 Hours At The Capitol: An Oral History of the January 6 Insurrection."

Darragh O'Brien, Minister for Transport and Fianna Fáil TD for Dublin Fingal East, discusses the future of Metrolink, after an application for a judicial review of the project was withdrawn.

I walk into the studio with one question on my mind: how do I explain the latest turns in the courtroom battles surrounding Donald Trump in a way that cuts through the noise for you, the listener, without losing the legal stakes that have the whole country on edge?Over the past few days, the headline moment has come from Washington, where the United States Supreme Court handed Donald Trump a sharp setback in a case called Trump v. Illinois. According to the Supreme Court's own opinion and analysis from SCOTUSblog, the Court rejected the Trump administration's attempt to federalize and deploy the Illinois National Guard, along with Texas Guard units, into Chicago to respond to protests and violence around federal property. The administration argued the Insurrection Act and related statutes gave President Donald Trump broad authority to call up the Guard. A lower court had blocked him, questioning both the factual basis and the scope of that power, and the Supreme Court, in an emergency ruling, refused to restore his plan.In practical terms, that meant National Guard troops would not be marching into Chicago under federal orders, at least not on the legal theory the administration offered. The opinion revealed a divided Court. Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch, dissented, accusing the lower court of underestimating the seriousness of the violence that federal officials described. But the majority, as summarized by commentators at the Brennan Center and SCOTUSblog, signaled limits on how far a president can go in using military force at home without close judicial scrutiny.That ruling landed against a broader backdrop of ongoing litigation involving Donald Trump and his administration's actions. Lawfare's “Trials of the Trump Administration” tracker notes that federal courts around the country continue to referee battles over immigration enforcement, civil service protections, the scope of independent agencies, LGBTQ rights, and government spending. In several shadow-docket cases this year, like Trump v. Boyle on firing members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Supreme Court sided with Trump on presidential control over agencies, but in others, especially involving immigration detention and bond hearings, lower courts have pushed back, and the justices have sometimes let those limits stand.Taken together, the last few days have underscored a pattern: Donald Trump is still testing the outer edge of presidential power in court, and the judiciary is no longer giving him a nearly open field. Instead, each new ruling sketches a tighter map of what a president can and cannot do, from sending troops into a state like Illinois to restructuring the federal bureaucracy or reshaping immigration courts.You, as listeners, are watching a slow, legal tug-of-war over the future of the presidency itself, conducted one opinion, one injunction, one emergency application at a time.Thank you for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

In shocking new reporting by Reuters: "Unprecedented errors are eroding the credibility of Trump's Justice Department."As Reuters further reported, "a federal magistrate judge said the errors were part of a broader pattern of unprecedented prosecutorial missteps, resulting in a 21% dismissal rate of the D.C. U.S. Attorney's office criminal complaints over eight weeks compared to a mere 0.5% dismissal rate over 10 years." Glenn presents an inside perspective from someone who worked at the D.C. U.S. Attorney's office for decades as to how things are supposed to work, and how this horrific dismissal rate is attributable to a lack of leadership from Trump-appointed US Attorney Jeanine Pirro.

Ya solo quedan cuatro días para el 25 de diciembre y supongo que tendrás algún plan familiar para esa jornada tan importante en muchos países del mundo. Y si eres de las personas que no celebran las fiestas navideñas, pues me parece fenomenal. Cada uno tiene sus propias tradiciones, sus propias costumbres. No todo el mundo tiene que hacer lo mismo. De esa forma sería todo muy aburrido. Y ya que hablo de este tema, si te apetece contarme lo que haces en estas fechas, ya sabes que puedes hacerlo en los comentarios. Si te interesa saber lo que voy a hacer yo, pues te lo cuento rápidamente. Como te he dicho alguna vez, en España los días más importantes son el 24 y el 31. Bueno, más que los días, las noches, porque las familias se juntan para cenar en Nochebuena, el 24, y en Nochevieja, el 31. Cuando estás soltero, pues cenas los dos días con tus padre. Pero cuando estás casado, hay que dividirse. Una noche con tus padres y la otra con tus suegros. En mi caso, mis padres ya murieron, así que el día que nos toca estar con mi familia solemos juntarnos a cenar con alguna de mis hermanas. Y eso es todo. En nuestro caso los días 25 y 1 de enero son muy tranquilos. Solemos quedarnos en casa comiendo con nuestros hijos y viendo alguna película por la tarde. Durante muchos años esa película siempre ha sido ‘El Señor de los Anillos', porque me encanta, al igual que su banda sonora, o sea, la música de la película. Pero hoy vamos a hablar de algo totalmente distinto, porque he escuchado una noticia en la radio que me ha parecido interesante para tratar el tema de las drogas. Y para comenzar, como siempre, me gustaría darte algo de información sobre lo que sucede en mi país con respecto a este problema. En España se consumen muchas drogas, aunque la situación ha cambiado en los últimos años. La más consumida sigue siendo el cannabis. Casi la mitad de los adultos lo ha probado alguna vez y más del 12% lo consumió en el último año. Eso es lo que dicen los informes más recientes. Entre los jóvenes, sin embargo, el consumo ha bajado bastante, lo que muestra que hay más conciencia sobre los riesgos, sobre los peligros. En cuanto a la cocaína, también se consume mucho en España. Más del 13% de los adultos la ha probado alguna vez y alrededor del 2,5% la consumió en el último año. Aunque los jóvenes la consumen menos que antes, España sigue siendo uno de los países con más cocaína en Europa, porque es una puerta de entrada para esta droga. Con respecto al alcohol y al tabaco, podemos decir que son las sustancias más comunes, pero entre los estudiantes su consumo también está bajando. Cada vez hay menos borracheras y menos cigarrillos. Por último, los expertos avisan de nuevas drogas sintéticas y muy fuertes, que son peligrosas. En resumen, los adultos en España consumen mucho cannabis y cocaína, pero los jóvenes están cambiando sus hábitos y usan menos drogas tradicionales. Bien, pues ya estamos preparados para escuchar la noticia de Radio Nacional de España. Ha ocurrido en una ciudad que se llama Torrevieja, en la provincia de Alicante, dentro de la Comunidad Autónoma de Valencia. Y aparece el nombre de otra ciudad justo al final, que es Elche y pertenece a la misma provincia. Venga, vamos ya con la noticia. “Detenidos un padre y su hija por distribuir cocaína en Torrevieja. La Policía Nacional ha intervenido 12 kilos de droga, tres armas y varios relojes de alta gama. Miguel Ángel Hortz. Los agentes tuvieron conocimiento de que un varón residente en una urbanización de Torrevieja podría estar dedicándose a la venta de cocaína a mediana escala, abasteciendo a redistribuidores de la zona. El investigado carecía de ingresos declarados, pero poseía una residencia de alto valor, vehículos de lujo y complementos de moda de gran precio. También se comprobó que el sospechoso actuaba con su hija de 24 años figurando como testaferro. En el momento de su detención al salir de casa portaba casi tres kilos y medio de cocaína, dinero en metálico y un reloj valorado en 17 mil euros. Además, su hija fue detenida en las inmediaciones de la vivienda familiar. Uno de los detenidos ha sido puesto a disposición del juzgado de instrucción de guardia de Torrevieja, quien ha decretado su ingreso en prisión provisional. Ambos han sido detenidos por los delitos de tráfico de drogas, tenencia ilícita de armas y blanqueo de capitales. La investigación ha sido desarrollada por la Policía Judicial de la Comisaría de Policía Nacional en Elche.” Por desgracia, cada día hay noticias de este tipo en España, porque la droga mueve mucho dinero y hay gente que prefiere dedicarse a eso en vez de buscar un trabajo. Lógicamente, ganan mucho más con la droga, pero también pueden acabar en la cárcel. Empezamos con las palabras más complicadas, porque hoy tenemos bastantes. Distribuir: Repartir o entregar algo en diferentes lugares o a distintas personas. La empresa distribuye sus productos en toda Europa. El grupo se dedicaba a distribuir drogas en varias ciudades. Intervenir: Tomar parte en una acción para modificarla o controlarla; en contexto policial, significa incautar o confiscar. La policía intervino varias armas ilegales. El gobierno intervino en el conflicto para evitar violencia. Alta gama: Productos de calidad superior y precio elevado. Compró un coche de alta gama. Los relojes de alta gama son símbolos de lujo. Urbanización: Conjunto de viviendas agrupadas en una zona residencial. Vive en una urbanización cerca del mar. La urbanización cuenta con piscina y seguridad privada. Mediana escala: Nivel intermedio de tamaño o alcance, ni pequeño ni grande. La empresa produce a mediana escala. El tráfico de drogas era a mediana escala, no internacional. Abastecer: Proporcionar lo necesario para el consumo o uso. El supermercado abastece a toda la zona. El detenido abastecía a redistribuidores locales. Redistribuidores: Personas que reciben productos para volver a distribuirlos. Los redistribuidores se encargan de vender la mercancía. La red incluía varios redistribuidores en la región. Carecer: No tener algo. Siempre con la preposición DE. Carece de experiencia en el sector. El sospechoso carecía de ingresos declarados. Testaferro: Persona que presta su nombre para ocultar la identidad del verdadero dueño. Usó a su amigo como testaferro para comprar la empresa. La hija figuraba como testaferro en las propiedades. Portar: Llevar consigo algo. Portaba un arma sin licencia. El detenido portaba tres kilos de cocaína. Inmediaciones: Zona cercana a un lugar. Hay un parque en las inmediaciones del colegio. La policía vigilaba las inmediaciones de la vivienda. Juzgado de instrucción de guardia: Tribunal que investiga delitos y está disponible para casos urgentes. El acusado fue llevado al juzgado de instrucción de guardia. El juzgado de guardia decretó prisión provisional. Prisión provisional: Medida cautelar, momentánea, que consiste en encarcelar a alguien mientras se investiga. El juez ordenó prisión provisional para el sospechoso. Estuvo en prisión provisional durante seis meses. Tenencia ilícita de armas: Poseer armas sin autorización legal. Fue acusado de tenencia ilícita de armas. La policía encontró pruebas de tenencia ilícita de armas. Blanqueo de capitales: Ocultar el origen ilegal del dinero para hacerlo parecer legal. El empresario fue condenado por blanqueo de capitales. Usaban negocios ficticios para el blanqueo de capitales. La verdad es que hoy tenemos un vocabulario muy útil, sobre todo si ves series de televisión española relacionadas con temas de drogas o policiales. Espero que te sirva. Venga, escuchamos la noticia por segunda vez. “Detenidos un padre y su hija por distribuir cocaína en Torrevieja. La Policía Nacional ha intervenido 12 kilos de droga, tres armas y varios relojes de alta gama. Miguel Ángel Hortz. Los agentes tuvieron conocimiento de que un varón residente en una urbanización de Torrevieja podría estar dedicándose a la venta de cocaína a mediana escala, abasteciendo a redistribuidores de la zona.

Ambos han sido detenidos por los delitos de tráfico de drogas, tenencia ilícita de armas y blanqueo de capitales. La investigación ha sido desarrollada por la Policía Judicial de la Comisaría de Policía Nacional en Elche.” Bueno, pues ahora te cuento la noticia cambiando algunas palabras por sinónimos, como hacemos siempre. El informativo de Radio Nacional de España nos cuenta que han arrestado a un hombre y a su hija por comercializar cocaína en la localidad de Torrevieja. La Policía Nacional confiscó 12 kilogramos de estupefacientes, tres armas de fuego y varios relojes de lujo. Los agentes descubrieron que un vecino de una zona residencial podría estar implicado en la venta de droga a nivel intermedio, suministrando a revendedores de la región. El sospechoso no tenía ingresos declarados, pero poseía una vivienda de gran valor, automóviles exclusivos y accesorios costosos. Además, se comprobó que actuaba junto a su hija de 24 años, quien figuraba como representante ficticia para ocultar la identidad real. En el momento de la captura, cuando salía de su domicilio, llevaba consigo casi tres kilos y medio de cocaína, dinero en efectivo y un reloj tasado en 17.000 euros. Su hija también fue detenida en los alrededores de la casa familiar. Uno de los arrestados fue puesto a disposición del tribunal de guardia, que ordenó su encarcelamiento provisional. Ambos enfrentan cargos por tráfico de drogas, posesión ilegal de armas y lavado de dinero. La investigación ha estado a cargo de la Policía Judicial de la Comisaría de Elche. Muy bien, pues vamos otra vez con la noticia y luego te cuento cómo está el tema de la droga en otros países europeos. “Detenidos un padre y su hija por distribuir cocaína en Torrevieja. La Policía Nacional ha intervenido 12 kilos de droga, tres armas y varios relojes de alta gama. Miguel Ángel Hortz. Los agentes tuvieron conocimiento de que un varón residente en una urbanización de Torrevieja podría estar dedicándose a la venta de cocaína a mediana escala, abasteciendo a redistribuidores de la zona.

Ambos han sido detenidos por los delitos de tráfico de drogas, tenencia ilícita de armas y blanqueo de capitales. La investigación ha sido desarrollada por la Policía Judicial de la Comisaría de Policía Nacional en Elche.” Todo claro, ¿no? Pues vamos con la comparación de España con otros países en cuanto al tema de la droga. Según los últimos informes, España es el país de Europa donde se consume más cocaína, por delante de Francia, Dinamarca y los Países Bajos. Este primer puesto se explica por varios factores: la posición estratégica como puerta de entrada del narcotráfico latinoamericano, la abundancia y pureza del producto, y un precio que se ha mantenido estable durante décadas. Además, el estilo de vida mediterráneo y el turismo masivo favorecen un consumo social que se ha normalizado en ciertos entornos. Muy bien, pues antes de despedirme repasamos las palabras y expresiones que hemos aprendido hoy. Distribuir: Repartir o entregar algo en diferentes lugares o a distintas personas. Intervenir: Tomar parte en una acción para modificarla o controlarla; en contexto policial, significa incautar o confiscar. Alta gama: Productos de calidad superior y precio elevado.

Jack Smith has testified to Congress. He wanted to testify publicly but Rep. Jim Jordan was afraid that the the testimony would make Trump look bad, so the Republican denied Smith's request to testify publicly. After the testimony, Rep Jamie Raskin said Jordan "made an excellent decision in not allowing Jack Smith to testify publicly, because had he done so, it would have been absolutely devastating to the president and all the president's men involved in the insurrectionary activities of January 6." Glenn discusses the implications of Smith's testimony.

I had the incredible good fortune of getting to know Rob Reiner in recent years. I even had the wonderful - and somewhat surreal - experience of appearing on stage with Rob in Los Angeles. The first part of this podcast is dedicated to my remembrance of Rob. The second part takes on the insanely indecent and offensive, not to mention false, attacks Trump made against Rob and Michele Reiner shortly after they were murdered. Trump's unfitness for office is as clear as it is necessary for the health and well being of the body politic, and American people, and the continued viability of our democracy.

No one can ever accuse FBI Director Kash Patel of learning from his mistakes. He got it wrong during the Charlie Kirk shooting investigation when he announced that the shooter was in custody, only to have to backtrack later when it was learned that the FBI had the wrong guy.And now Kash has gone and done it again. He just made the exact same mistake by announcing that the FBI had apprehended the suspect in the Brown University shooting, and yet again, it turns out the FBI had the wrong guy.Glenn discusses the many problems attendant to Kash Patel getting it wrong in such a public way. He explains how this kind of blunder will actually provide the real shooter with what's called a third-party perpetrator defense at trial.Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner/substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We've all heard the saying "three strikes and you're out." Donald Trump, Pam Bondi, and Lindsey Halligan have now struck out three times trying to prosecute New York State Attorney General Letitia James. The first indictment that Lindsey Halligan unlawfully obtained against James was dismissed by a federal judge. The second time involved another prosecutor who went into the grand jury and tried to convince them to indict James. The grand jury concluded there was not sufficient evidence to indict her, and refused to do so.Undeterred, DOJ tried to indict James again, and yet again the grand jury said no. This is an example of the American people - the members of the grand jury - standing up to the prosecutorial overreach, abuse, and misconduct of Trump, Bondi, and Halligan.Glenn also discusses the prosecutor from Missouri that the DOJ has now sent into the grand jury TWICE to fail.

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noam looked into the cameras as said. "There's no American citizens that have been arrested or detained. We focus on those who are here illegally. And anything that you would hear or report that should be different than that is simply not true and false reporting." That is an outright lie. As but one example, 25-year-old Army veteran George Retes was ARRESTED AND DETAINED, unlawfully and unconstitutionally, a fact that was documented on video.A great pro-democracy, nonprofit organization, Home of the Brave, has release a powerful video exposing and documenting what George Retes suffered at the hands of a lawless Trump administration.One of the most important ways to combat the unconstitutional conduct of Trump and company is to stand up, speak out, and document how Trump's lawless policies are hurting We the People. And that is precisely what Home of the Brave is doing. Glenn sat down with Home of the Brave's Sarah Matthew to discuss the organization's mission. Sarah served as White House Deputy Press Secretary in the first Trump administration but resigned after the Trump-inspired attack on the United States Capitol, and ever since, she has been a vocal critic of Trump.Link to Home of the Brave: www.ofthebrave.org Find Glen on Substack: Glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
