Part 1:We talk with Jonathan Feingold as part of the Race Class series.#RaceClass Ep. 71 | Political Polarization is NonsenseArnie & Jon discuss how mainstream political commentary keeps missing the moment. Just this week, New Hampshire's Libertarian Party posted on X: "We openly support the assassination of basically every elected Democrat in New Hampshire." This language is extreme, but it's a direct line from the daily rhetoric coming out of the federal government and rightwing officials around the country. And yet, most pundits continue to cite "political polarization" as the problem we need to solve, not officials who incite violence against their neighbors. We also chat about how racism remains both ends and means for Tech bros and the billionaire class.Jonathan FeingoldProfessor of LawBoston University School of Lawjfeingol@bu.edu|#RaceClass Podcast|researchPart 2:We talk with Robert L. Borosage, progressive writer and activist.We discuss the likelihood that Trump will use nuclear weapons in Iran, since there seems to be no way for him to declare victory and stop the war. Iran is a loss to the US, and Trump never wants to be perceived as a loser. Hegseth's actions at the Pentagon signal a willingness to support this.WNHNFM.ORG production

Who should choose a party's vice presidential nominee - the presidential candidate or the delegates?Mike ter Maat, the Libertarian Party's 2024 vice-presidential nominee, joins Faithful Politics to explain why he wants to change how the Republican Party chooses its VP candidate. ter Maat is now seeking the GOP's 2028 vice-presidential nomination while arguing that Republican convention delegates should independently select the nominee rather than simply accepting the presidential candidate's choice. His campaign publicly describes delegate selection of the VP nominee as its central proposal.Josh and Mike discuss Republican convention rules, the modern vice presidency, and whether a VP with an independent political base could provide another check on concentrated presidential power. They also examine ter Maat's move from the Libertarian Party into the Republican liberty movement, his critique of both major parties, and his broader argument that political institutions need stronger internal checks and more room for disagreement.GUEST BIOMike ter Maat is an economist, former police officer, and the Libertarian Party's 2024 vice-presidential nominee. Libertarian delegates selected ter Maat as their vice-presidential nominee at the party's May 2024 national convention, where he received a majority on the second ballot.After the 2024 election, ter Maat moved into Republican politics and is now seeking the Republican Party's 2028 vice-presidential nomination. His campaign is built around giving Republican convention delegates an independent role in choosing the party's VP nominee. Earlier in his career, he worked as an economist, including at the White House Office of Management and Budget, and later spent more than 11 years in law enforcement in Broward County, Florida.
It's Friday, September 18th, 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 Adam McManus Ugandan Muslim father tried to burn Christian daughters alive At around midnight on September 6, Amina and Shamila, two newly converted Christian sisters, were inside their home in Kasese District in the country of Uganda, Africa when their house was set on fire, reports International Christian Concern. The arsonist was their Muslim father, Muhamud. He had doused the house with gas, then set it alight while the girls slept inside. He had told them he would act to fulfill Islamic law since they had rejected Islam when they recently converted to Christianity on August 26. The girls awoke to the smell of gas and the sight of flames surrounding them. Amina said, “We saw flames of fire consuming our house. We now started looking for Plan B to escape death.” The girls barely escaped in time. Shamila added, “We knew that our lives were in danger. We removed the bricks and escaped through the hole. Thank God that He gave us a way to get out alive.” The girls survived the fire which destroyed almost everything they owned. Amina said, “We are happy to say that the fire consumed our shelter, but did not consume our faith and hope in Jesus Christ.” Indeed, 1 Peter 1:3 says, “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy, He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." In your prayers today, thank God for protecting Amina and Shamila, these Ugandan sisters who recently trusted Christ. Pray for their father to be held accountable and that he, too, would come to Christ. Muslims represent only 14% of the Ugandan population. Rising gas/food prices are "killing" Trump and Republicans Appearing on Fox News, Brit Hume, their Chief Political Analyst, explained to Bret Baier that the November 3rd election is not looking good for President Donald Trump and the Republican Party. HUME: “The Fed is concerned about the same thing that our polling today, that came out today, suggests the American public is concerned about. That's the issue that helped elect Donald Trump. And I'm talking about inflation right now. “Question has been raised: Has the Trump administration made the economy better or worse? Fully 63% say it's made it worse, and that is 11 points higher, 11 percentage points higher than the number of people who thought that last year. That is not a number that the president can be very content with, and if you look at what people are saying about what is a major problem for their family: 62% said grocery prices, 61% said gasoline prices. Those are both things that are up. “The president was elected in the hope, I believe, that inflation could be brought under control, and to some extent on many products it has. But when it comes to gasoline, a reflection of the Iran war, and groceries, which have continued to go up, the problem is worse. “And it's certainly plaguing the president and driving down his approval rating. When a president's approval rating is down, particularly in a midterm election, it is very hard on his party.” House ensures data centers cover their own energy costs On September 16, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a measure put forward by Republicans that would provide a federal blueprint to ensure that data centers pay for their use of local energy grids, reports The Epoch Times. It was adopted in a 417–3 vote. The legislation would impose new requirements on artificial intelligence data centers. Typically, they draw huge amounts of electricity from local power grids, straining supplies and leading to utility bill shocks for households across the nation. Estimates indicate that data centers use about 4 percent of the U.S. electric grid. According to Electric Choice, the energy used to power these facilities, which draw roughly 176 terawatts of electricity per year, could otherwise be used to power 16 million homes. Hollywood refused to honor Chuck Norris at Emmys Hollywood is facing a Texas-sized backlash after television legend Chuck Norris was conspicuously left out of the Emmy Awards' televised “In Memoriam” tribute, reports Christian talk show host Todd Starnes. Norris, the conservative Christian action star who became a television icon playing Cordell Walker on CBS's “Walker, Texas Ranger,” died in March at the age of 86. Yet his name and image were nowhere to be found during Monday night's tribute. Breitbart's John Nolte suggested that politics may have been behind the snub, calling Norris a “conservative TV icon” and arguing the omission amounted to blacklisting. Academy chairman Cris Abrego said before the broadcast that an unusually large number of prominent television figures had died and it was “not feasible” to include everyone in the televised segment. But for Norris fans, leaving out the man who dominated Saturday-night television for nearly a decade was one roundhouse kick too many. Single mothers are getting older Single moms are getting older. According to the Institute for Family Studies, “Births to unmarried mothers are stereotypically thought of as occurring to young women. This is still true — but increasingly less so. In recent years, the age profile of unmarried mothers has changed due to shifting birth rates. Birth rates to young, unmarried women are declining, while birth rates to unmarried women over 35 are increasing. “The birth rate to unmarried women, ages 15 to 44, declined by 19% in the decade between 2014 and 2024. “Meanwhile, the unmarried birth rate for women over 35 is increasing — by 15% between 2014 and 2024. “At the same time, the unmarried birth rate for women over 40 increased by 40%. Notably, 2024 was the first year where the birth rate to unmarried women ages 40-44 was higher than the birth rate to unmarried teens.” Court upholds Indiana's ban on ‘horrific' ‘trans' surgeries for kids Last Friday, a federal court sided with Indiana in upholding a state law prohibiting ‘horrific' ‘trans' surgeries from being conducted on children, reports the Federalist. Indiana Republican Attorney General Todd Rokita said, “We have won this critical fight against radicals who would otherwise impose this horrific practice on our kids for ideological and financial reasons. My office will keep standing between our children and those who would sacrifice their health, innocence, and well-being on the altar of woke gender ideology.'” Head of Texas Libertarian Party is a polygamist And finally, you probably have never heard of Andrew Amelang, the Chairman of the Texas Libertarian Party. He is also a proud polygamist, reports The Daily Citizen. Worse yet, he also holds a key leadership position in an organization called Biblical Families. The website claims that “plural marriage” is Biblical. Full stop. Any Christian worth his salt knows well that the presence of a particular act, like polygamy, rape or incest in the Bible, does not mean that God endorses it. By no means! The Bible holds up a mirror to the sinfulness of man and thus his need for a Savior. Genesis 2:24 could not be more clear. "Therefore, shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” The verse does not say he will cleave unto his multiple wives.

When the Trump administration decided to take down Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) over his opposition to deficit spending, war, and protecting Jeffrey Epstein's clients, many Americans were outraged that one of the only constitutional conservatives in Congress could be unseated by a dishonest smear campaign and an empty suit like his primary opponent, Ed Gallrein. Because Kentucky's 4th district is deep red, Gallrein believes that he can walk into the seat while barely even campaigning. However, the Libertarian Party has other ideas. Matt Kibbe sits down with Jeremy Todd, the Libertarian candidate for Massie's soon-to-be-vacant seat, to discuss how his platform and values are similar to those of Thomas Massie, while being distinct from the rest of the Republican Party.
Libertarian political strategy has always been shaped by a difficult question: should libertarians invest their energy in the Libertarian Party, or work inside one of the major parties (usually the Republican Party) to influence policy from within the duopoly? This double-header episode brings that tension into sharp relief through two contrasting voices — Mike ter Maat, who argues that the GOP is where the decisive battles for liberty can be fought and perhaps won, and James Mills, who believes the LP remains the most principled and viable home for advancing freedom.Chapters:0:00 Intro0:22 Welcome & Guest Intros1:56 Why Leave the LP?9:17 GOP Over LP Strategy13:37 Using the Republican Liberty Caucus17:17 Why the GOP Can Move24:39 Coalition Lessons29:39 Delegates Empowered Plan36:19 Ohio Libertarian Bid47:58 Ballot Access Hurdles54:20 Reaching Libertarian Neighbors59:15 Vote for Principle1:03:27 Trojan Horse or Outsider?Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Come meet fellow Christian libertarians, sharpen your thinking, and be part of a growing movement rooted in faith and freedom at the Christians for Liberty Conference.Lunch is included in the price of the ticket.

Matt is joined by Jason from Australian Hunting Podcast for an in-depth and at times fiery discussion about the current state of firearms laws in New South Wales, what the changes could mean for licensed firearm owners, and where the shooting community goes from here.Jason has been talking about firearms legislation and politics on his podcast for more than a decade, and many of the concerns he raised years ago are now becoming reality. Together, Matt and Jason discuss why they believe licensed shooters are facing some of the most significant changes seen in years and why firearm owners need to understand exactly what is happening rather than simply assuming it won't affect them.One of the biggest issues discussed is the removal of access to NCAT appeals for certain firearms licensing decisions. Jason explains why he believes the loss of an accessible avenue to challenge a decision could have consequences extending well beyond firearms, particularly when the alternative of pursuing a matter through the Supreme Court may be financially unrealistic for an ordinary person.The conversation also turns to firearm limits, lengthy licensing and PTA processing times, the effect on firearm dealers and businesses, and the proposed compensation figures for affected firearms. Matt and Jason question whether the scheduled payments realistically reflect the value of many firearms and discuss the potential financial impact on shooters who have invested thousands of dollars into rifles and shotguns that may be affected.With the NSW election approaching, politics inevitably becomes a major part of the discussion. Matt and Jason examine the response from Labor, the Liberals, Nationals, Shooters Fishers and Farmers, the Libertarian Party and One Nation, and discuss why promises to oppose legislation are very different from an explicit commitment to repeal it.The conversation goes well beyond simply telling people who they should vote for. Instead, it raises a bigger question for Australia's shooting community: after decades of relying on the same political strategies, does something need to change?Matt and Jason also discuss the importance of firearm owners becoming more engaged, contacting representatives, supporting organisations that genuinely represent their interests and having conversations with people outside the shooting community.Importantly, both reinforce throughout the conversation that firearm owners must continue to comply with the law. Their argument is that change needs to occur through democratic and lawful processes, particularly through political engagement and the ballot box.The episode also examines the response of Australia's major shooting organisations and asks whether the shooting community could have been better organised years ago. With organisations increasingly working together now, Matt and Jason discuss whether the industry needs a stronger united voice and whether personal interests, politics and organisational differences have prevented that from happening in the past.This isn't a traditional hunting story. It's a long-form conversation about firearms ownership, politics, due process, the future of shooting in Australia and what could happen next.Whether you agree with everything said or strongly disagree, this is a conversation worth having. Have a listen, make up your own mind, research the changes for yourself and, most importantly, understand what the decisions being made today could mean for the future of hunting and shooting in Australia.Disclaimer: Content shared on this podcast is for general information and entertainment purposes only.

Former CIA intelligence analyst and targeter Sarah Adams joins Tudor Dixon for a warning about foreign influence operations targeting American politics and elections. Adams breaks down what she describes as the growing alliance between Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), Islamist political organizations, and political candidates—and explains why Americans should pay closer attention to the organizations, money, and influence networks operating behind campaigns. Tudor and Sarah examine concerns surrounding Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, the Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR Action, campus organizations, and the role social media influencers can play in amplifying foreign-backed narratives—sometimes without even realizing where the messaging originated. They also explore why Adams believes the threat isn't limited to the political left. Could similar influence operations fracture Republicans and conservatives by pushing voters toward third parties or convincing them to stay home? Plus, Adams reveals a stunning vulnerability inside Washington: congressional staffers aren't universally required to undergo background checks. She explains what she witnessed while working on Capitol Hill and why she believes Congress needs stronger counterintelligence safeguards. It's a wide-ranging conversation about foreign influence, election interference, political extremism, national security, and whether Americans recognize the threat before it becomes too powerful to ignore.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Whitener brings a perspective that is rarely heard in public health spaces, and this conversation is all the better for it. Dr. Whitener is not a career politician.

A FEDERAL GRAND JURY JUST INDICTED THE SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER FOR ALLEGEDLY PAYING NEO-NAZIS TO STAY NAZIS. Today we walk through the New York Post bombshell on the SPLC indictment, the alleged $3 million pipeline through shell companies to violent extremists, and the wider pattern of manufactured hate stories that have shaped American media for forty years. Then we head to California, where Arnold Schwarzenegger just blew the whistle on Sacramento's gas price racket, and Adam Smith's 250-year-old playbook explains exactly why Californians are paying nearly six bucks a gallon. Judge Andrew Napolitano joins us with his sharp new column asking whether America at 250 is still a republic or already an empire. Then we simulcast with Chris Salcedo on the future of the liberty movement, the collapse of the LP, and whether there's still room for a liberty wing inside conservatism.

Who had the dumbest political take of the week: Bernie, the war party, or libertarians themselves? Nate is solo for Dumb Bleep of the Week, and this one turns into a roast of everyone. Anna Paulina Luna's alleged "smack" gets the SmackGate treatment. Bernie Sanders wants the public to own 50% of major AI companies. Scott Bessent brings up Woodrow Wilson, which should immediately set off every liberty alarm in your brain. Then the episode shifts into Iran, war powers, Dave Rubin, Mark Levin, Trump's "moderate shooting" ceasefire line, Austin Peterson, and the final question: are some libertarians more loyal to the Libertarian Party than to libertarianism?

The former Executive Director of the Libertarian Party, Dan Fishman, joins us to discuss what Thomas Massie's primary defeat means for the Republican Party, the liberty movement, and American politics.
The Libertarian Party has just wrapped their National Convention so it seems like the perfect time to do an Anarchist Audit
Jeremy Kauffman just returned from the Libertarian National Convention, where the delegates chose as their chairman the kind of person you might expect. We talk about how to succeed and how to spread ideas (and how not to). Listen to Jeremy's speech at the Libertarian Party national convention here on X.

THE LIBERTARIAN CASE AGAINST OPEN BORDERS, THE LP'S WORST CONVENTION IN MEMORY, AND TWO 300-FOOT STATUES THAT NEED TO GET BUILT. We break down the GLP-1 craze and why the shortcut costs more than the drug, then make the full libertarian nationalist argument on immigration — Friedman, Hoppe, Putnam, and the bacon cheeseburger. Spike Cohen joins to respond to the LPNH disaffiliation, Andrew Allgood's arrest, and the question of whether the Libertarian Party has any runway left. Camellia closes on the viral plan to build two 300-foot Lewis and Clark statues on the Missouri River and what it means for American culture.
Josh Parks was raised in Lexington, South Carolina, just a few miles from the state capital of Columbia. He first became interested in politics while interning for Strom Thurmond in Washington during college. In 2008, Josh's political views were profoundly shaped by Dr. Ron Paul, whose message of fiscal responsibility, a noninterventionist foreign policy, and the protection of individual liberty inspired him to embrace a more principled understanding of conservative values. Josh joined the Libertarian Party in 2021. He currently serves as Chair of the Richland County Libertarian Party and as Membership Chair for the South Carolina Libertarian Party. Josh is President of Bridgeway Consulting, where he has helped more than 100 businesses and nonprofit organizations build stronger leaders and healthier workplace cultures. Josh and his wife, Lauren, a public school teacher, have three children. He is a candidate for the South Carolina House of Representatives, representing District 75.

Nate went to the Libertarian National Convention and came back exhausted, frustrated, and convinced the LP has a serious problem. This is his eyewitness breakdown of the convention chaos, the LPNH fight, the rubber chicken heckling, the property rights dispute, and why national LP politics keeps failing liberty. The Libertarian Party should be focused on real-world freedom, lower taxes, less war, property rights, and reducing government power. Instead, Nate argues the convention exposed constant infighting, procedural fights, faction battles, and a party more focused on controlling the "libertarian" brand than winning liberty for actual people. This episode covers the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire controversy, Jeremy Kauffman, the disaffiliation fight, the viral slap incident, promo materials, private property, and why state and local liberty work may matter more than national party drama. 00:00 Good Morning Liberty 01:45 The Libertarian National Convention was a mess 04:00 Why libertarianism is not growing 05:30 No real strategy for more liberty 08:00 Party over principles in the LP 09:30 What has the national LP actually accomplished? 15:45 New LP leadership and the first controversy 18:15 Bylaws, delegate rules, and procedural games 23:15 Jeremy Kauffman and the LPNH fight 25:00 Rubber chickens and heckling speakers 37:15 The alleged Nazi salute moment 41:00 The viral slap and property rights dispute 59:00 What liberty-minded people should do now 01:12:00 Lynn Ulbricht and the good people still doing the work Links: Watch All Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi78svKlBr_8o0dDOX8DxO_Wwxu6WYhhA Watch Host Favorites: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi78svKlBr__Zu40RL7mWxCuOOe54zgy2 Join the Fed Haters Club @ joingml.com All links @ gml.bio.link Subscribe, like, comment, and share this episode.

Bill Redpath, a longtime Libertarian Party leader and Ohio U.S. Senate candidate discussed in the interview, argues that America's two-party political structure keeps real competition out while federal spending and entitlement promises keep getting harder to sustain. The conversation also digs into tariffs, tax simplification, a more open legal immigration system, the war in Iran, and why Congress should stop handing presidents a blank check on military action.

The near total dominance of the two major political parties is nothing new. Democrats and Republicans have distinct ideological and political differences, but for some, it’s their similarities that drive them away from both. Many voters are not affiliated with any party. In fact, those unaffiliated voters number more than either of the major parties by a substantial margin. Most of the remaining registered voters are members of the other minor parties: The Independent Party, the Constitution party, the Libertarian Party, No Labels, the Pacific Green Party, the Progressive Party, We the People Party and the Working Families Party. In next week’s Oregon Primary, all voters will be sent ballots that include local and state candidates for nonpartisan offices and measures. But for those who are unaffiliated or a member of a minor party, no partisan candidates will appear, and they cannot vote for any of the major party candidates. Minor parties do not have their primary process funded by taxpayers, as the two major parties do. A public opinion survey from January 2026 by DHM Research showed significant frustration with both major parties. And a recent national survey of voter opinions of Congress indicated contempt for both Democrats and Republicans. But what does all this mean for minor parties, if anything? We ask representatives from three of those minor parties to share how they think two-party rule is working for the electorate at large and what changes they’d like to see to include more voters more often. Our guests are Annie Naranjo-Rivera with the Oregon Working Families Party, Sonja Feintech with the Libertarian Party of Oregon and Sal Peralta with the Independent Party of Oregon.
The Founders didn't build a libertarian utopia or a progressive origin myth — they built libertarian nationalism, and 250 years later Washington can't define it. Austin reads what Jefferson, Hamilton, Madison, and Jay actually wrote and makes the argument both sides need you to never hear. Then: Rubio quoted Cypress Hill and started a 2028 primary nobody announced. Vance was in Iowa explaining a war he privately opposed. We run both men through the libertarian nationalist scorecard. Jeremy Kauffman — blockchain entrepreneur and LP of New Hampshire chairman — joins to answer whether a party with no senators, no governors, and a peak of three percent still deserves to exist. The national LP censured his state party. He endorsed Trump anyway. And Maggie Anders, Young Voices Commentator, breaks down Spencer Pratt's run for Mayor of LA — second place in a fourteen-candidate field, Joe Rogan's backing, a viral Gotham ad, and five weeks to the June 2nd primary. Karen Bass called it a Trump impression. Los Angeles is a lot right now.

AMAZON BANNED YOUR CHURCH, YOUTUBE FLAGGED YOUR VIDEOS, AND PAYPAL SHUT DOWN YOUR ACCOUNT BASED ON THE HATE MAP OF AN ORGANIZATION THAT WAS SECRETLY WRITING CHECKS TO THE KU KLUX KLAN, AND THIS WEEK THEY GOT HIT WITH AN ELEVEN-COUNT FEDERAL INDICTMENT. The Southern Poverty Law Center has been federally indicted on wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering charges. The DOJ alleges they secretly funneled more than three million dollars to operatives inside the KKK, the Aryan Nations, the National Alliance, and the National Socialist Movement -- while using their hate map to get conservative and Christian organizations deplatformed, debanked, and destroyed. One of their paid operatives was in the leadership chat group that planned the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. Biden's DOJ opened the investigation and closed it. Trump's DOJ reopened it. Now it's a grand jury indictment. We have the full breakdown -- the Charlottesville detail the media is burying, the Big Tech angle nobody else is running, and the question of who in Biden's DOJ decided this file wasn't worth pursuing. Then -- the science of fatherhood that the culture does not want you to hear. A Notre Dame anthropologist spent an entire pregnancy collecting his own saliva every week and sending it to a lab to measure his own testosterone in real time. What he found was later confirmed across 624 men in the largest longitudinal study of fatherhood ever conducted. Your brain physically rewires when you show up. Your testosterone doesn't drop -- it redirects. And fatherlessness isn't just a social crisis. It's a hormonal one, compounding across generations. Forty percent out-of-wedlock birth rate and nobody in Washington will say what the peer-reviewed science already knows. We will.

CannCon and Ashe in America welcome James Wiley, Red Flame of Liberty, fresh off a commanding 72% sweep at the Colorado Republican Assembly for Secretary of State. The three dig into the credentialing chaos that left delegates standing in line for hours and produced 80 more votes than voters. Wiley breaks down the BIOS password scandal that exposed Colorado voting machines to potential foreign compromise, the Libertarian Party lawsuit against Jenna Griswold, and the cover-up audio from deputy secretary Christopher Beale. The conversation shifts to Wiley's campaign platform, built around a sharp and surprisingly effective question: do you want AI running your elections? They also tackle the erosion of the caucus system, the delegate republic vs. direct democracy debate, and wrap with a breakdown of Tina Peters' new appellate filing and a win for Maricopa County recorder Justin Heap.

They also covered several key political issues from the past two administrations and discussed how a Libertarian administration would address them.

Today's Headlines: The Trump administration is facing growing bipartisan backlash over aggressive ICE enforcement following recent shootings in Minnesota. Texas Governor Greg Abbott said the federal government needs to “recalibrate” its approach, while Republican Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Chris Madel dropped out of the race, calling the immigration operation an “unmitigated disaster” and condemning what he described as racial profiling. The criticism has spread beyond Democrats, with the Libertarian Party calling for ICE to be abolished and the Wall Street Journal editorial board urging ICE to pause operations in Minnesota. Amid mounting pressure, the administration demoted Customs and Border Protection official Greg Bovino and reassigned ICE personnel out of Minneapolis, signaling a temporary de-escalation. Border czar Tom Homan has been sent to oversee the situation as Trump publicly emphasized cooperation with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. New reporting raises concerns about ICE activity elsewhere, including allegations that agents in Colorado left so-called “death cards” in vehicles after detentions. Separately, documents reveal ICE is using a Palantir-built surveillance tool to map neighborhoods for immigration raids using data from multiple federal agencies. Internationally, Trump said negotiations with Iran remain “in flux” as the U.S. increases its military presence in the region. Israel confirmed the return of the final hostage's remains, allowing the Gaza ceasefire to move toward its next phase. Trump also announced higher tariffs on South Korean imports, cited the use of a secret weapon in the raid that captured Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro, and commented on allegations that a top Chinese general leaked nuclear secrets to the U.S. Meanwhile, a massive winter storm across 19 states has been linked to at least 22 deaths, with hundreds of thousands still without power. Congress is also racing to avoid a potential government shutdown tied to funding for the Department of Homeland Security and ICE oversight.
