Le retour de Donald Trump à la Maison Blanche inspire la presse française, prolixe, mais dans l'ensemble plutôt méfiante et critique vis-à-vis du nouveau président qui prêtera serment lundi 20 janvier. La Tribune Dimanche nous annonce une « rupture », un « nouveau désordre mondial », fait « d'autoritarisme, de nationalisme religieux, de souverainisme économique, et de populisme exacerbé ». Alors que, précise le journal, « le Trump d'aujourd'hui est bien plus préparé qu'il y a huit ans, bien plus puissant aussi. Il a dans sa poche tout ce qui pourrait jouer le rôle de contre-pouvoir dans son pays : la Cour suprême, le Congrès, le monde des affaires. »Le Nouvel Obs n'est guère plus optimiste, et met en Une Donald Trump et Elon Musk, avec ce titre : « Le nouvel impérialisme », et ce sous-titre : « Le duo de milliardaires ouvre une nouvelle ère dangereuse des relations internationales, dans laquelle la Maison Blanche assume une volonté hégémonique décomplexée ». « Le monde pénètre en terra incognita », annonce de son côté l'Express, « non seulement personne ou presque ne peut freiner Trump (…) mais de plus il s'est adjoint un vice-roi en la personne d'Elon Musk, qui lui aussi rêve de pulvériser les règles établies ».« Egos boursouflés »Le duo Donald Trump-Elon Musk, a l'avenir incertain. C'est du moins le point de vue du Nouvel Obs, qui se demande si « les egos boursouflés de Musk et Trump s'accorderont durablement. » Certains « riant sous cape », parlent du « président Elon Musk ». Ce qui n'inquiète pas Donald Trump outre mesure : « Je suis tranquille, dit-il. Vous savez pourquoi ? Il ne peut pas être président, il n'est pas né dans ce pays ». Manière de rappeler qu'Elon Musk a vu le jour en Afrique du Sud et qu'il ne sous-estime pas ses ambitions.Quant à la nouvelle administration Trump, « elle ressemble à un bric-à-brac d'idéologies contradictoires », poursuit le Nouvel Obs : « populistes et ploutocrates, conservateurs traditionnels, francs-tireurs de la nouvelle droite et transfuges démocrates, tenants du protectionnisme et représentants d'industries aux intérêts supranationaux ». « Ma raison d'espérer, explique le politologue Lee Drutman, c'est qu'ils soient submergés par les luttes intestines entre les grandes fortunes et la faction populiste ».Imprévisibilité trumpienneLa presse hebdomadaire s'attarde aussi sur les ambitions internationales de Donald Trump. L'Express, qui compare Donald Trump à un « dynamiteur », revient sur ce qu'il appelle « le feu d'artifice de provocations à l'égard de ses alliés ». « Lors d'une conférence de presse à Mar-a-Lago en Floride, le président élu a asséné qu'il n'excluait rien. Ni d'attaquer le Panama pour reprendre le contrôle du canal interocéanique cédé à ce pays fin 1999, ni de s'emparer du Groenland – partie intégrante du Danemark depuis deux siècles, ni de faire pression sur le Canada pour en faire le 51ème état américain. » « On croyait le 47ème président isolationniste », ajoute l'Express, « on le découvre impérialiste ». « Il croit obtenir davantage par l'agression que par la coopération. En cela, il ressemble à Vladimir Poutine ».Une perspective qui fait peur à l'Europe : « l'imprévisibilité trumpienne met les acteurs européens dans un état de stress qu'ils n'avaient pas connu depuis… le précédent mandat du républicain », remarque l'Express. Alors que pour le Nouvel Obs, « cette soudaine brutalité des relations internationales, vise particulièrement l'Europe, qui a le front de vouloir réguler les géants de la tech, et qui fait pièce à Poutine en soutenant l'Ukraine. » L'hebdomadaire lance en quelque sorte un appel : « il faut impérativement qu'après l'investiture de Trump, l'Union européenne se ressaisisse et accepte de s'affirmer comme la seule entité géopolitique à même de faire face à l'Amérique qui se dessine ».Vent de libertéCertains journaux français apportent toutefois leur soutien à Donald Trump. C'est le cas du Journal du Dimanche qui s'enthousiasme à l'idée de la trace que Donald Trump laissera dans l'histoire. « Jamais il n'aura été aussi près du but qu'il s'est fixé depuis ses premiers pas à la Maison Blanche : transmettre sa vision de l'Amérique, et sa façon de diriger en héritage. Faire avec le pays ce qu'il a fait avec le Parti républicain en réconciliant classes populaires et classes dirigeantes. » Le JDD salut particulièrement les projets de Donald Trump en matière d'immigration, alors qu'il bénéficie du soutien « de la plupart des exécutifs locaux, des forces de l'ordre et surtout de l'opinion publique, lassée par quatre ans d'incurie ». « Bonne chance aux droits de l'Homme ! », s'exclame, avec ironie, le JDD qui ajoute : « Sous Biden, 7,5 millions de migrants ont franchi la frontière sans documents. »Le Journal du Dimanche a aussi interrogé Sarah Knafo, eurodéputée d'extrême droite, qui avec son compagnon, l'ex-candidat à la présidentielle Éric Zemmour, est invitée à l'investiture de Donald Trump. « Comment interprète-t-elle cette invitation ? » lui demande le JDD. « Un vent de liberté souffle sur l'Occident, répond-elle, ce mouvement monte aux États-Unis, en Italie, en Grande-Bretagne. Je pense, sans prétention, que nous en sommes les représentants français ». Donald Trump a donc bien choisi ses invités.
Ryan Corbett, an American businessman, moved to Afghanistan in 2010 with his family and became actively involved in the community. In August 2022, he, along with several others, was captured and detained by the Taliban after returning to the country to renew his business visa and pay his employees. Since then, his wife, Anna Corbett, has advocated for his release and pleaded with the Biden administration for assistance. Earlier this week, Anna joined Rundown host Dave Anthony to share Ryan's story and describe her efforts to secure her husband's release. She explained how the outgoing Biden White House failed to secure a recent deal to bring Ryan home but why she has renewed hope after traveling to Mar-a-Lago and meeting with President-elect Trump's National security adviser pick, Mike Waltz. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Anna Corbett, allowing you to hear more about her husband's story and the effort to get him out of an Afghanistan jail.

Rudy Giuliani decided to skip his trial on Thursday so that he could spend the morning posting videos of his dog playing at Mar-a-Lago. The court waited for more than 2 hours for him to show up before ultimately deciding to delay the day's proceedings. But Giuliani won't face any consequences for his blatant disregard for the law - later that afternoon it was announced that he had reached a full settlement and that will put an end to the litigation. During his Senate confirmation hearing this week, Donald Trump's pick to be Treasury Secretary - billionaire hedge fund manager Scott Bessent - warned that the country is facing "calamity" if wealthy people (like him) don't get tax cuts. History has proven that giving money to rich people does nothing to improve the lives of working class people, but here we are again having to debunk the lies of trickle down economics. Nothing will ever be enough to satisfy Donald Trump. The incoming President launched another tirade this week after it was announced that the FBI had closed their DEI office back in December, because they knew he would shut it down anyway. So he got what he wanted and STILL threw a temper tantrum on social media because that's the only thing this man-child knows how to do.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

Toen Amerika in 2017 herdacht dat zijn zevende president, Andrew Jackson, 250 jaar geleden geboren was, verscheen de grootste fan zélf aan zijn graf. Donald Trump noemde deze herdenking het ware begin van de viering van 250 jaar Verenigde Staten. Jackson was en is voor hem Amerika en de Amerikaan. Wie was dit rolmodel? Wat vertelt hij ons over Trump zelf, diens visie op Amerika en over zijn tweede termijn? ***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Zend een mailtje naar adverteren@dagennacht.nl en wij zoeken contact.Op sommige podcast-apps kun je niet alles lezen. De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***Andrew Jackson leefde lang – van 1767 tot 1845 - een generatiegenoot van velen die hun stempel op onze beschaving zetten, zoals Napoleon, de Humboldt-broers en Goethe. Hij leefde van Koning George III tot Queen Victoria, van Prins Willem V tot Thorbecke. Fascinerende jaren van revolutie, doorbraken in wetenschap en technologie en culturele omwentelingen. Jackson was echt een kind van zijn tijd. Als tiener was-ie al een rebel. Als militair werd hij een nationale held die op één lijn gesteld werd met George Washington. Hij was een vastgoedondernemer en slavenhandelaar, een arme boerenjongen die een vermogend landheer werd. Jackson was vanaf dag één politiek een polarisator pur sang. Hij kon vreselijk haten en sprak en schreef daar ongeremd en fel over. Hij was een wildebras en ‘n drammer en daarmee ook vernieuwer van de politieke cultuur. Met hem geen nobele, verlichte aristocraten van de geest in het Witte Huis. Hij begon de eerste politieke partij als machtsmachine om verkiezingen te domineren. Alexis de Tocqueville bezocht hem als jeugdig Frans edelman en zei: "De lage toon van de Amerikaanse politieke cultuur begint helemaal aan de top daarvan." Andrew Jackson deed als president tussen 1829 en 1837 van alles waar nu de kranten ook mee vol staan. Slaande ruzie kreeg hij met zijn vicepresident, John Calhoun. Hij schoffeerde het Congres zozeer, dat ze overwogen hem te impeachen. Hij wilde Texas kopen van buurland Mexico - goedschiks of kwaadschiks. Hij wilde het federale financiële stelsel ontmantelen en heeft daarmee twee eeuwen later nog diepgaande invloed op zijn land. Tocqueville was gefascineerd door Jackson, door diens verachting voor anderen in de politiek, z'n tomeloze ambitie, hoe hij alles over had voor zijn herverkiezing en hoe de media en alle debatten op straat en in cafés alleen maar over hem gingen. "Het doel van alle politieke manoeuvres, het onderwerp van elke gedachtenwisseling." Donald Trump geniet er dan ook van de vele controverses en haat van Jackson te releveren en dan te zeggen: "Jeeez, where did you hear this before?" Jacksons erfenis is zeer omstreden. Zelfs Trump noemt hem ‘an imperfect man'. Als generaal en gouverneur was hij verantwoordelijk voor volkerenmoord onder de inheemse Amerikanen. Zijn beleid leidde ertoe dat na zijn twee termijnen de zuidelijke slavenstaten de nationale politiek domineerden die uitliep op de ongekend bloedige burgeroorlog.Onder Donald Trump is het populisme en de daarbij horende polarisatie weer helemaal terug. Andrew Jackson was in veel opzichten het origineel. De eerste populist in het Witte Huis. De eerste militaire geweldenaar die als nationaal figuur president werd. Het eerste onpolitieke icoon dat politiek triomfeerde. En hij was de eerste, moderne 'Democrat' als president, geen partijgenoot dus van Trump! Op aanraden van Steve Bannon liet Trump bij de start van zijn eerste termijn een groot schilderij van Jackson neerhangen in het Oval Office. Als rolmodel zonder meer een briljante vondst.***Verder lezenJohn Meacham - American Lion, Andrew Jackson in The White House***Verder kijkenAndrew Jackson - Good Evil & The Presidency - PBS Documentary***Verder luisteren473 - 2025 wordt opnieuw een historisch jaar oa over John Quincy Adams464 – De Amerikaanse verkiezingen van 2024 zijn geen aardverschuiving459 – Rolmodel George Washington405 - De Amerikaanse democratie in gevaar: het gevecht tussen Biden en Trump397 - Benjamin Franklin, Zijner Majesteits meest loyale rebel360 - 4th of July: Mar-a-Lago, de plek waar het al 100 jaar gebeurt289 - Donald Trump als gevaar voor de democratie - Joe Biden en zijn strijd voor de ziel van Amerika221 - Madam Speaker: de spijkerharde charme van Nancy Pelosi206 - 'Aardverschuiving': Michael Wolff over Donald Trumps laatste dagen als president.

Will Congressional leadership ever get to see the Jack Smith Special Counsel Mar a Lago report and stinging rebuke of Trump (and the public as well), or will the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals reverse Judge Cannon and unblock her block. Michael Popok reports on a brand new head scratcher of an order from the 11th, that on one hand seems to both side with Cannon but also invite a new emergency appeal from the DOJ to allow the report to go to Congress.

In this episode of Passing Judgment, we unravel the current status of the four pending criminal cases against former President Trump. Host Jessica Levinson explains that while Trump was convicted in the New York State hush money case, he received no real sentencing. The Georgia election interference case stalled due to conflict of interest allegations against the district attorney. Jessica provides a detailed overview of each case and what it means now that Trump is set to return to office. Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:New York State Hush Money Case: Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts related to falsifying business records for hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. However, the sentence resulted in no jail time, fines, or probation due to constitutional concerns about punishing a sitting president.Georgia Election Interference Case: This case, involving Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election results, stalled due to conflict of interest allegations against District Attorney Fani Willis. The delay and constitutional concerns have put the case on indefinite hold.Federal Cases: Both the DC election interference and Mar-a-Lago classified documents cases stalled due to legal challenges and questions of immunity. Following Trump's recent election victory, Special Counsel Jack Smith resigned, and the cases were effectively closed.Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica

Le gouvernement israélien doit donner son feu vert ce jeudi (16 janvier 2025) à l'accord annoncé par le Qatar et les États-Unis sur un cessez-le-feu à Gaza. Aux États-Unis, Joe Biden comme Donald Trump revendiquent leur rôle dans la conclusion d'un accord. « Biden et Trump dépassent leur animosité pour sceller l'accord de cessez-le-feu à Gaza », titre le New York Times. Mais, note The Hill, « s'il a fallu 15 mois pour conclure un cessez-le-feu, il n'a pas fallu plus d'une seconde à une bataille politique pour surgir à Washington sur la paternité de l'accord ». En tous cas, chacun avait un intérêt à régler la question avant lundi prochain (20 janvier 2025), jour de l'investiture : pour Joe Biden, une « ultime justification de son mandat ». Pour Donald Trump, l'accord est une épine de moins dans son pied alors qu'il revient au pouvoir. Et « il peut se féliciter de cet accord », estime un éditorialiste du Washington Post, selon qui les pressions du président élu pour la libération des otages ont peut-être, plus que sur le Hamas, eu un effet sur le Premier ministre israélien. Interrogé par Politico, un spécialiste estime que « Netanyahu veut peut-être adopter une approche différente avec l'administration Trump », quand selon lui c'est « le soutien inconditionnel de Joe Biden à Netanyahu qui lui a permis de continuer sa guerre ».Discours d'adieuJoe Biden ce mercredi (15 janvier 2025) est apparu à la télévision américaine pour faire son discours d'adieu. Et il s'est inquiété de voir l'Amérique tomber aux mains d'une « oligarchie » – il n'a pas nommé Donald Trump et les multimilliardaires de la tech qui le soutiennent, mais tout le monde a compris.Politico parle d'une « utilisation inhabituelle » de ce genre de discours, qui est « traditionnellement l'occasion de vanter ses réalisations et d'exprimer sa confiance en l'avenir ». Or, ce fut un discours d'adieu « sombre ». C'est dire si, comme l'écrit USA Today, « son mandat sera à jamais marqué par les deux mandats de Trump ». Joe Biden a exhorté les Américains à défendre les institutions du pays contre ces « forces puissantes », parlant de ce qu'il appelle le complexe techno industriel – selon le New York Times, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, ou encore le groupe Meta de Mark Zuckerberg.À lire aussiJoe Biden défend son bilan international et loue des États-Unis renforcés dans le mondeLe Canada s'interroge sur les menaces de Donald TrumpÀ quatre jours de l'investiture de Donald Trump, les pays voisins affinent les préparatifs. Donald Trump a ainsi affirmé qu'il imposerait des tarifs douaniers 25% plus élevés au Canada – or, les trois quarts des exportations canadiennes partent aux États-Unis. Et le président élu n'exclut pas de voir le Canada devenir le 51ème État des États-Unis. Les autorités canadiennes prennent la menace au sérieux : le Premier ministre démissionnaire Justin Trudeau en a parlé ce mercredi avec les chefs des gouvernements provinciaux. La correspondante de RFI au Canada, Pascale Guéricolas, a interrogé Julie White, la porte-parole de l'Association des manufacturiers et exportateurs du Québec. Selon elle, les menaces de Donald Trump vont peut-être avoir un impact sur la localisation des usines, qui s'implanteraient de l'autre côté de la frontière, « ce qui va être négatif pour beaucoup de régions du Québec ». La crise qui s'annonce pousse plusieurs analystes à multiplier les nations clientes, et changer les produits vendus pour réduire la dépendance du Canada vis-à-vis des États-Unis. À écouter aussiCanada: le gouvernement Trudeau «en position de faiblesse» face à TrumpLibérations à CubaUn premier groupe d'une vingtaine de prisonniers a été remis en liberté ce mercredi (15 janvier 2025) à Cuba, sur les 553 qui doivent être libérés. La veille, Joe Biden avait annoncé le retrait de l'île de la liste noire des États soutenant le terrorisme. Mais 14 y medio s'inquiète : selon l'organisation Prisoners Defenders, « le langage ambigu utilisé fait craindre qu'il ne s'agisse pas de libérations mais de sorties de prison ». Et à Cuba, sorties de prison signifie plutôt libération conditionnelle ou bonifications de peine, transformée par exemple en travail forcé sans internement. La presse d'État cubaine, elle, se félicite surtout du retrait de la liste noire : ce n'est, titre Granma, « rien de plus que la reconnaissance de la vérité ». Mais la future administration américaine ne semble pas être sur la même longueur d'ondes que Joe Biden : Marco Rubio, choisi par Donald Trump pour être son futur ministre des Affaires étrangères, était auditionné ce mercredi par le Sénat. Et, rapporte 14 y medio, ce fils d'immigrants cubains a affirmé qu'il n'a « aucun doute sur le fait que Cuba soutient le terrorisme ». À lire aussiÉtats-Unis: Joe Biden retire Cuba de la liste des États soutenant le terrorismeL'administration Trump et HaïtiMarco Rubio a aussi parlé d'Haïti ce mercredi : selon lui, le problème fondamental, c'est la faiblesse de l'État haïtien : « il n'y a pas de légitimité de l'autorité, et je dis cela en reconnaissant le fait que certaines forces de la police haïtienne en Haïti ont été extraordinairement courageuses ». Le futur secrétaire d'État américain a répété que les États-Unis n'interviendraient pas sur le sol haïtien, et il a « encouragé les partenaires étrangers » à « contribuer à cet effort pour fournir un certain niveau de stabilité ». Réaction de Frantz Duval, rédacteur en chef du Nouvelliste : Marc Rubio est sur la même position que l'administration américaine sortante. Le journaliste remarque aussi que son appui à la force multinationale « signifie peut-être que les États-Unis ne vont pas appuyer sa transformation en force de l'ONU. » Enfin, Marc Rubio désire que les autres pays de l'hémisphère collaborent à la mission, ce que l'administration Biden n'avait pas obtenu. « Pour le moment, c'est le statu quo mais c'est mieux que ce qu'on craignait, c'est-à-dire un abandon total du dossier », explique Frantz Duval.Le rédacteur en chef du Nouvelliste se demande par ailleurs où est passée la diplomatie haïtienne : « Haïti a beaucoup de dossiers qui sont chauds, et Haïti n'a pas de présence ces jours-ci de présence ni à Washington, ni à Mar-a-Lago. On ne sait pas si Haïti fait un lobbying pour avoir des appuis », aussi bien de la part de Joe Biden - qui multiplie les décisions dans ses derniers jours de présidence - que du président élu qui prend ses fonctions lundi prochain (20 janvier 2025).Rentrée des classes à Los AngelesÀ Los Angeles, les pompiers continuent de lutter contre les feux qui ravagent les alentours de la ville. Mais une semaine après le début des incendies, c'est malgré tout un petit retour à la normale pour certaines familles sinistrées : leurs enfants ont pu reprendre les cours ce mercredi, dans un autre établissement scolaire. Une rentrée des classes qu'Achim Lippold, l'envoyé spéciale de RFI à Los Angeles, a suivie dans la Brentwood Science School où une crèche transitoire a été mise en place accueillir les enfants du quartier de Pacific Palisades, ravagé par les feux. Mais un autre défi de taille attend maintenant ces familles : trouver un logement abordable dans une ville où les prix immobiliers ont explosé.À lire aussiIncendies à Los Angeles: des vents chauds et violents continuent d'attiser les flammes Le journal de la PremièreLes pratiques « ultramarines » de la grande distribution seront-elles bientôt dans le collimateur de la justice ?
This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Roger Parloff, Renée DiResta, and Tyler McBrien to talk through the week's big national security news, including:“The Art of the Heel.” As President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration nears, the various legal cases against him are gradually winding down to their inevitable end. But Trump is not letting them go quietly: instead, he has fought certain final steps tooth and nail, ranging from the (mostly meaningless) sentencing in his New York case to the final release of the report that Special Counsel Jack Smith is obligated to write. How do these various threads seem like they will resolve? And what will the legacy be for presidential accountability?“Make Meta MAGA Again.” The recent election appears to be triggering a wave of changes in corporate America, as a number of leading tech companies like Meta have begun quite publicly breaking down disinformation protections, paring back DEI programs, and eliminating offices and personnel that have long peeved conservatives. And even CEOs who have not implemented such changes have seemed eager to meet with Trump at his home in Mar-a-Lago. How much of this shift is smoke and how much is fire? And what might it mean in the long term?“Embracing a Growth Mindset.” President-elect Trump sent shivers through the international community last week when he refused to rule out the possibility of using economic coercion or even military force to expand U.S. territorial control, specifically over Greenland and the Panama Canal, two allied foreign territories that he has previously identified as having a direct bearing on U.S. national interests. How realistic are his threats? And what are the ramifications likely to be?In object lessons, Tyler shared why there seem to be so many Australians in Brooklyn, as reported in “Bogans in Brooklyn,” from The Baffler (say that three times fast). Roger recommended “V13: Chronicle of a Trial” by Emmanuel Carrère, for coverage of a different trial than the ones he's been used to. Scott, in a stubborn refusal to admit that the holidays are over, was jolly about the Netflix movie “That Christmas.” And Renée reflected on AI's potential to help people reach consensus through democratic deliberation and supernotes.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Le mardi 7 janvier, Donald Trump, qui a été élu président des Etats-Unis quelques semaines plus tôt, est en conférence de presse chez lui, dans sa villa de Mar a Lago, en Floride. Face à un parterre de journalistes, il tient des propos inquiétants sur le Groenland mais aussi sur le Panama, en réitérant son envie déjà exprimée avant Noël, de s'emparer par la force, s'il le faut, de ces deux territoires stratégiques, pour assurer selon lui « la sécurité nationale » des Etats-Unis et « la liberté à travers le monde ».Mais Donald Trump n'est pas le seul à vouloir conquérir de nouveau territoire. Son bras droit, Elon Musk, patron de X, Tesla et SpaceX, considère comme lui que le Canada devrait devenir à terme « le 51ème Etat américain ». Celui qui est aujourd'hui l'homme le plus riche du monde s'est même immiscé dans la vie politique européenne, allant même jusqu'à insulter des représentants politiques de premier plan.Pour Code source, deux journalistes du Parisien, Ariane Riou, du service international, et Mehdi Bouzouina, correspondant aux Etats-Unis actuellement à Washington, expliquent pourquoi l'alliance entre Donald Trump et Elon Musk inquiète en Europe.Écoutez Code source sur toutes les plates-formes audio : Apple Podcast (iPhone, iPad), Amazon Music, Podcast Addict ou Castbox, Deezer, Spotify.Crédits.

A 10 meses da realização da COP30, em Belém (PA), o governo brasileiro ainda não definiu o presidente da conferência do clima, evento organizado pela ONU (Organização das Nações Unidas). O país está atrasado em relação ao Azerbaijão, sede da COP29, que no mesmo período de 2024 já havia definido o titular do cargo. O presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) realiza uma reunião nesta quarta-feira, 15, com ministros para discutir o assunto. "Essa reunião é importante porque a COP30 vai ser um dos grandes eventos do Brasil neste ano. Todo cuidado é pouco, porque tem repercussão internacional. O nome mais cotado é do embaixador André Corrêa do Lago, secretário de Clima, Energia e Meio Ambiente do Itamaraty e negociador brasileiro na COP29. Esta também é uma definição cobrada pelo novo ministro da Secretaria de Comunicação da Presidência, Sidônio Palmeira, que busca uma mudança e afirma que a COP30 tem de ser cuidada com muita atenção para repetir o sucesso do G20 do ano passado no Brasil", conta Eliane.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the end, even Trump's most reliable “bff” in the criminal justice system, Judge Cannon turned on him and rejected his late-night filing to stop the release of the Jack Smith Special Counsel DC Election Interference final report, in classic “paperless order” style. Michael Popok takes it further and suggests that Trump has waived the dismissal of his indictment in the Mar a Lago case by moving to intervene to come back into the case and that the prosecution should continue against him.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 86: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: MAGA in disarray. While the mass deportation scheme becomes the latest casualty of having elected a bunch of incompetent egomaniacs, Steve Bannon has declared war on Elon Musk. AND Elon Musk’s toady David Sachs. AND Peter Thiel. Bannon no longer will stop at getting Musk exiled from the White House because Bannon and the rest of the nativist lunatics hate all foreigners but Musk wants to not hate foreigners who can make him more rich via the H1B Visas. Bannon now wants Musk and the others to be the first immigrants thrown out of the country. He actually told this to Italy’s most-read newspaper, Corriere della Sala: "He is a truly evil guy, a very bad guy. I made it my personal thing to take this guy down... he should go back to South Africa. Why do we have South Africans, the most racist people on earth...making any comments at all on what goes on in the United States." The point isn't whether Musk actually does kill and eat Musk. It's that they fight. Because at the same time Musk is admitting he can only cut half of the "government inefficiency" he promised to, and "Border Czar" Tom Homan is warning Republicans that Trump won't be deporting millions immediately. More like 60,000. And the Trump junta has admitted it can't unilaterally lower grocery prices, or install universal tariffs, and he's not going to dig up the Panama Canal and move it to Mar-a-Lago on Inauguration Day, he ain’t buying Greenland and coercing Canada and guess what, he didn’t “settle” Russia’s war on Ukraine in 24 hours, and his minions are hinting his attempts to turn the LA fires into an exploitable political event are going to crash. And even before re-gaining power, Trump has pre-failed. B-Block (34:55) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Joe Scarborough doubles down on his role as Marshal Petain-In-The-Ass at MSNVIchy. Politico dubs him "Elon Mush" then deletes it. And Naomi Wolf thinks victims of the Southern California firestorm aren't panicking enough. C-Block (45:20) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: It's bleak and the forecast for next week is Trump. So I need a laugh and maybe you do too. And this we bring you back to 1994 and the greatest off-air laugh in ESPN's history: Soccer Breakdown.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In breaking news over the weekend, Special Counsel Jack Smith still lives, and his colleagues are taking on Judge Cannon to tell her that she has no jurisdiction to continue to block the release to the public of the Special Counsel's DC Election interference final report and that there is nothing in that report that substantive bears on any case that used to be in front of her involving classified documents and Mar a Lago. Michael Popok ties together 4 different filings in the matter and predicts when the public will finally get the report! #FreetheReport Head to https://zbiotics.com/LegalAF to get 15% off your first order when you use LEGALAF at checkout.

Inauguration Day draws near with the President-elect spending time over the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago estate meeting with Republican lawmakers, discussing how to move forward with his agenda to cut taxes and secure the border. Republicans in the House are divided on whether to pass one large reconciliation bill, or two separate bills to extend tax cuts and deliver on immigration reform. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) joins the Rundown to discuss how Congress will act on the California wildfires, how he and his colleagues will work to unify around the President-elect's plans, and touches on the heightened security surrounding Inauguration Day. Recently, the US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy issued a new advisory calling on Congress to require labels warning consumers about the link between increased alcohol consumption and cancer. To understand the Surgeon General's recommendation, Devi E.

The preview we've had into Donald Trump's second administration already feels, by American standards, disturbingly abnormal: Picking a former “Fox and Friends” host for defense secretary. Billionaire after billionaire trekking to Mar-a-Lago to curry favor with the president-elect. The Washington Post withholding an opposing endorsement. Meta ending its third-party fact-checking.But all of this is actually pretty normal — not in the U.S. but in many other countries. Researchers call them personalist regimes, in which everything is a transaction with the leader, whether it's party politics or policymaking or the media. It's a style of politics that follows different rules, but there are still rules. And understanding personalist politics, and their tried-and-true playbook, is a way to help make the next four years legible.Today's guest is one of the leading scholars on personalist regimes, in both their democratic and their authoritarian forms. Erica Frantz is a political scientist at Michigan State University and an author of “The Origins of Elected Strongmen: How Personalist Parties Destroy Democracy From Within.” In this conversation, we discuss what personalist regimes are and how they operate, the personalist qualities of Trump and the signs of democratic backsliding that Frantz thinks Americans need to track in the coming weeks and years.This episode contains strong language.Book Recommendations:Dictators at War and Peace by Jessica L.

Did Trump-appointed judge Aileen Cannon abuse her judicial discretion yet again in favor of Donald Trump? Judge Cannon no longer presides over the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, as it is now in the exclusive jurisdiction of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. Apparently undeterred by her lack of jurisdiction over the documents case, The New York Times just reported that, "Judge Cannon Blocks Release of Special Counsel's Final Report on Trump."Will this act turn out to be the third time Judge Cannon abuses her judicial discretion to the benefit of Trump?Glenn discusses the implications of this latest Cannon ruling.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2X aka Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Donald Trump and the Department of Justice have a tumultuous relationship to say the least. It's become a focal point of the president-elect's campaign against the federal government.
