Se cumple hoy un año de las polémicas elecciones en Venezuela, en las que Nicolás Maduro afirma haber retenido el poder y la oposición, en cambio, sostiene que hubo un fraude. Profundizamos En Perspectiva con el periodista Omar Lugo desde Caracas. Maduro anunció este domingo que se realizarán “grandes eventos musicales” y marchas en el país para celebrar su victoria.   Según dijo, Nahum Fernández, el vicepresidente del Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela (PSUV), le había informado que durante 10 días “va a haber grandes eventos musicales, marchas populares en las calles, para celebrar el primer año del triunfo heroico contra el fascismo”.  Además, este lunes cumpliría 71 años el antecesor de Nicolás Maduro, el expresidente Hugo Chávez Frías.  Los comicios que cumplen un año este lunes generaron una polémica que se extiende hasta estos días, ya que el candidato opositor, Edmundo González Urrutia, continúa asegurando que la victoria fue suya y que el régimen madurista cometió un fraude.  “El régimen es ilegítimo y así lo certifican las actas resguardadas en Panamá”, publicó este domingo González en su cuenta de la red social X, y compartió el mensaje del secretario de Estado de Estados Unidos, Marco Rubio, quien escribió: “Maduro NO es el presidente de Venezuela y su régimen NO es el gobierno legítimo. Maduro es el líder del Cártel de Los Soles, una organización narcoterrorista que se ha apoderado de un país. Y está acusado de introducir drogas en Estados Unidos”.  Organismos internacionales y el propio Centro Carter, que estuvo acreditado como veedor ante el Consejo Nacional Electoral (CNE) de Venezuela, declaró que el proceso “no se adecuó a parámetros y estándares internacionales de integridad”y que la elección “no puede ser considerada como democrática”.

La justice colombienne rend son verdict ce lundi 28 juillet 2025. Alvaro Uribe, premier président de ce pays latino-américain à être jugé, saura s'il est reconnu coupable de «subornation de témoins». C'est «le procès du siècle», souligne El Tiempo. Il faut dire que l'accusé a été «deux fois président de la République» et est «considéré comme l'une des personnalités politiques les plus influentes de l'histoire récente du pays», précise le quotidien. «La décision [du tribunal] aura, sans aucun doute, des conséquences politiques», analyse encore El Tiempo. La Colombie est en année pré-électorale. La présidentielle aura lieu l'an prochain (2026). Or, le pays connaît «une polarisation [politique] croissante». Alvaro Uribe, 73 ans, est «le chef de l'un des partis d'opposition» et «les États-Unis sont attentifs au dénouement de cette affaire», détaille le quotidien.     Alvaro Uribe risque de 6 à 12 ans de prison L'ancien président colombien ne dormira pas dormir en prison ce soir, explique El Espectador. Car même si la juge le déclare coupable, elle ne devrait préciser sa peine que lors d'une autre audience qui aura lieu la semaine prochaine, selon El Tiempo. En réalité aujourd'hui, il y a trois scénarios possibles, détaille El Espectador. La juge peut déclarer Alvaro Uribe coupable, non coupable ou l'absoudre au bénéfice du doute, ce qui ne voudra pas dire qu'il est innocent mais que l'accusation n'a pas réussi à convaincre le tribunal que l'ancien président de droite a bien tenté de persuader des membres de groupes paramilitaires détenus de témoigner en sa faveur alors qu'il était accusé par un sénateur de gauche d'avoir des liens avec ces organisations responsables de violations des droits humains. Quelle que soit la décision, Alvaro Uribe, le Parquet ou les victimes pourront fait appel, précise El Espectador. Puis l'affaire pourrait aller jusqu'à la Cour de cassation et même devant la Cour suprême.   Les Vénézuéliens entre espoir et découragement, un an après la réélection de N. Maduro Au Venezuela, cela fait 1 an, jour pour jour, que Nicolas Maduro a été réélu président. Les résultats n'ont jamais été publiés, et de forts soupçons de fraude pèsent sur ce scrutin. L'opposition revendique toujours la victoire de son candidat Edmundo Gonzalez, aujourd'hui en exil en Espagne. Depuis l'élection, la répression contre les opposants s'est déchaînée, et l'opposition est réduite à peau de chagrin. Découragés, certains Vénézuéliens se détournent de la politique, comme l'a constaté notre correspondante à Caracas, Alice Campaignolle. Mais d'autres refusent de céder au désespoir. El Nacional publie aujourd'hui un numéro spécial intitulé «Le Venezuela ne se rend pas». «L'espoir, ébranlé par la censure, la répression et la perte de confiance dans nos institutions, demeure (...) Des millions de Vénézuéliens croient toujours au changement», affirme le quotidien qui maintient qu'Edmundo Gonzalez a remporté la présidentielle de l'an dernier. Ce numéro spécial «commémore cet événement historique qui n'est pas un simple souvenir statistique, mais un point de départ. Parce que même si la dictature n'est pas tombée, ses mensonges ont été exposés au grand jour. Et le pays a découvert qu'il était majoritaire. Cette prise de conscience, personne ne peut l'effacer», insiste El Nacional qui en est sûr : pour la dictature, le compte à rebours a commencé.   Pierre Réginald Boulos va être renvoyé en Haïti La presse haïtienne revient sur l'arrestation aux États-Unis de Pierre Reginald Boulos car les services d'immigration ont annoncé qu'il serait bientôt expulsé. ICE «a confirmé la révocation du statut légal de l'homme d'affaires haïtien» et son renvoi dans son pays dans un message publié hier sur X, raconte Gazette Haïti. Pierre Reginald Boulos a menti dans sa demande de visa. Le patron de la chaîne de supermarchés Délimart «a négligé de mentionner sa campagne de violence et son soutien aux gangs pour déstabiliser Haïti», écrit l'agence d'immigration américaine. Arrêté à Miami le 17 juillet 2025, Pierre Reginald Boulos «doit se présenter devant la justice américaine le 31 juillet 2025 où il sera fixé sur son sort», précise encore Gazette Haïti. Dans une lettre ouverte adressée au secrétaire d'État américain, Marco Rubio, la semaine dernière, et que l'on peut lire sur le site Rezo Nodwes, Joverlein Moïse, le fils aîné de l'ancien président assassiné, demande à ce que les responsables de la mort de son père ne soient pas extradés en Haïti, «pays en état de déliquescence institutionnelle» écrit-il, surtout le système judicaire. «Les capacités financières de ces criminels dépassent de loin celles de nos institutions judiciaires affaiblies, des institutions qu'ils ont, pour beaucoup, déjà infiltrées, corrompues et neutralisées», estime Joverlein Moïse, qui ne cite pas directement Pierre Reginald Boulos.   Le système judiciaire haïtien impuissant face aux gangs De passage dans les studios de RFI, l'avocat Arnel Remy, responsable du Collectif des avocats pour la défense des droits humains (CADDHO), a détaillé à Achim Lippold les défis auxquels le système judiciaire haïtien est confronté. Dans la juridiction de Port-au-Prince, il ne reste plus qu'une seule prison en état de fonctionnement, celle de Delmas, explique-t-il. Les hommes et les femmes sont donc détenus ensemble, ce qui est contraire aux conventions internationales. À la surpopulation carcérale, s'ajoutent des détentions provisoires qui peuvent durer des années. Me Remy regrette que les autorités n'aient mis en oeuvre la réforme de la justice promise. Il faut, selon lui, «numériser le système judiciaire haïtien. Cela éviterait que des dossiers soient perdus ou volés.» Quant aux gangs, Arnel Remy dénonce l'impunité totale dont ils jouissent. «En voyant qu'ils circulent en toute tranquillité dans Port-au-Prince, d'autres jeunes sont malheureusement incités à suivre le même chemin», explique-t-il.   Questions autour des taxes américaines sur le cuivre chilien Au Chili, l'annonce de Donald Trump d'imposer des droits de douanes de 50% sur le cuivre inquiète. Beaucoup de questions demeurent sur le champ d'application et les conséquences concrètes de cette mesure qui pourrait entrer en vigueur le 1er août 2025. Le Chili est le premier producteur mondial du métal rouge, et les États-Unis son deuxième acheteur, après la Chine. C'est un dossier signé Naïla Derroisné.   Le journal de la 1ère En Martinique, la gestion des déchets est un véritable défi.

Reconnaître l'État de Palestine. C'est l'annonce faite hier par Emmanuel Macron. La France officialisera cette reconnaissance lors de la conférence de l'ONU en septembre. Et les réactions sont nombreuses ce matin dans la presse internationale. The Times of Israel ouvre le bal avec les mots de Marco Rubio, secrétaire d'État américain. Il dénonce une décision « imprudente. Une gifle aux victimes du 7-Octobre », peut-on lire dans les colonnes du quotidien. The New York Times parle d'« une déclaration surprise », après « des mois d'allusions et d'hésitations ». The Washington Post y voit « une initiative diplomatique audacieuse dans un contexte de colère mondiale croissante face à la famine à Gaza ». La BBC relève la réaction de l'adjoint de Mahmoud Abbas, Hussein Al-Cheikh. Pour lui, cette décision reflète « l'attachement de la France au droit international ». Même tonalité du côté du mouvement terroriste du Hamas, qui parle d'une décision « allant dans la bonne direction pour rendre justice à notre peuple palestinien opprimé ». Et d'un appel à d'autres États pour « en faire autant ». À l'opposé, Benyamin Netanyahu prévient : « un État palestinien serait un tremplin pour anéantir Israël, et non pour vivre en paix à ses côtés ». The Times of Israel raconte comment la déclaration de Macron est tournée en dérision par plusieurs membres du gouvernement israélien. « Alors qu'Israël est susceptible de prendre des mesures punitives contre la France », écrit le quotidien, « certains ministres ont estimé que la réponse la plus appropriée serait d'annexer le territoire sur lequel les Palestiniens espèrent établir leur futur État ». Le ministre des Finances d'extrême droite, Bezalel Smotrich, remercie Macron d'avoir « fourni une nouvelle raison convaincante pour enfin appliquer la souveraineté israélienne sur les régions historiques de Judée et de Samarie ». Le ministre de la Justice, Yariv Levin, affirme, lui, que « la terre d'Israël appartient au peuple d'Israël ». D'autres vont plus loin encore. Le ministre de la Diaspora, Amichai Chikli, relaie la vidéo virale de la prétendue gifle de Brigitte Macron à son mari, expliquant que « c'est la réponse du gouvernement israélien » aux déclarations du président. La ministre de la Protection de l'environnement, Idit Silman, poste sur le réseau social X une image générée par IA de Macron embrassant le chef du Hamas, Yahya Sinwar [tué le 17 octobre 2024 à Gaza, NDLR]. Dans l'opposition, le ton est moins provocateur. Ayman Odeh, président du parti Hadash-Ta'al, parle d'une « étape nécessaire pour un peuple qui a tant souffert ». Gilad Kariv, député travailliste, fustige une « course puérile entre ministres pour attaquer le président français », au lieu de travailler à une stratégie de long terme. Il conclut : « une bande de bébés trop grands dirige notre pays ». À lire aussiConflit israélo-palestinien: «Reconnaître l'État de Palestine, c'est changer de prisme» Mais ces réactions israéliennes tranchent avec d'autres lectures dans la presse internationale. Arab News rapporte que l'Arabie saoudite « salue cette décision », la qualifiant de « prise de position historique ». De Riyad au Caire, en passant par Amman et Beyrouth, la France est saluée pour avoir « enfin franchi le pas » – aux côtés de 147 pays déjà favorables à la reconnaissance de la Palestine, selon le site argentin Todo Noticias. Et au Royaume-Uni, c'est le Guardian qui observe une onde de choc à Westminster. Un « comité multipartite de députés », appelle le gouvernement britannique à reconnaître à son tour l'État de Palestine, « immédiatement ». Le Premier ministre Keir Starmer, « confronté à une pression croissante pour tenir la promesse du Parti travailliste », convoque une réunion d'urgence avec la France et l'Allemagne. Objectif : discuter de la crise humanitaire à Gaza. Une crise qualifiée de « famine indéfendable » par le chef du gouvernement britannique. Et les bilans continuent de s'alourdir. Au moins quarante morts jeudi dans des frappes israéliennes, selon la défense civile locale. Parmi eux, des enfants et des personnes venues recevoir de l'aide. Quarante-cinq autres sont mortes de faim en quatre jours. Dans un communiqué glaçant, Philippe Lazzarini, commissaire général de l'UNRWA, parle d'« habitants de Gaza transformés en cadavres ambulants ». Il décrit des jeunes « émaciés, faibles, et courant un risque élevé de mourir s'ils ne reçoivent pas le traitement dont ils ont besoin de toute urgence ». Et rappelle que les médecins de l'agence survivent eux-mêmes avec « un petit repas par jour », selon Sky News Australia. Car, reconnaissance ou pas, ce sont bien la guerre et la famine qui se poursuivent sur le terrain.

On Friday, July 18, the Trump administration formally announced that the United States will be rejecting a certain World Health Organization agreement. Specifically, this was an agreement that U.S. officials say would have granted the WHO certain powers over America in the event of another pandemic. Let's go through the details together.

David Waldman brings us the latest old news. That is, it only seems like old news.  Trump remains deplorable, as his deplorables keep finding out. But even David's random country generator for potential Trump hassling seems stuck on several African nations, although Donald might be first to admit that when it comes to African countries, they're all just a bunch of Nigers to him. Remember Jeffery Epstein? Epstein's posthumous celebrity is so hot right now, that people are even beginning to recall Ghislaine Maxwell. The Gop House is working so hard to forget Jeff that they have completely forgotten that they are elected representatives. Donald K. Trump hopes that you'll Pepperidge Farm the Clinton Administration. The Wall Street Journal will not be allowed to watch Trump golf in Scotland because of their Epstein reporting. Back to the story of John A. Sarcone “III”, the loyalist Trump wants as US attorney for upstate New York. Is Sarcone only the “acting” US attorney? Is he an “assistant” with no one to assist? Who cares? What does the law have to do with being an attorney for Trump? Law has nothing to do with being a lawyer for Trump, which is why Two-thirds of the DOJ unit defending Trump policies in court have quit. First, Trump disappeared hundreds of Venezuelans to a Salvadoran Prison. Then, Marco Rubio and Ric Grenell got into a bidding war for them and Grenell's check bounced. Now, the prisoners have been shuffled off to Venezuela. Were innocent lives art of the dealed?

Our government disappeared hundreds of Venezuelans to a hellish Salvadoran prison for 125 days. When Trump's and Stephen Miller's whole CECOT plan even became too much for the dictator who runs El Salvador, Marco Rubio helped orchestrate a political win for Venezuela's strongman, Nicolas Maduro—who gets to look like a white knight in the hostage exchange. Meanwhile, the administration still has not recovered from its rake-step claim that there was no Epstein list. Did Bondi release her memo because the 1,000 FBI personnel who were made to review the Epstein documents kept finding Trump's name? Cover-ups are hard. Plus, now the Dems have new reasons to not cooperate with Republicans. Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller. show notes Tim and Sam's livestream after Andry and the other Venezuelans were released from CECOT Bill and Sarah discuss the Epstein timeline for 'Bulwark on Sunday' Rep.

Bruno Guglielminetti et Jérôme Colombain reviennent sur le lancement de Grock 4, l'IA de XAI, proposée à 300 $ en version "Heavy". Sa puissance et son fonctionnement en mode "collège d'experts" impressionnent, mais des propos antisémites générés par Grock 3 ont déclenché une vive controverse. Ils évoquent aussi le départ probable de Linda Yaccarino de X, la montée des navigateurs dopés à l'IA comme Comet, et les offres premium de Google avec Gemini. En cybersécurité, un deepfake vocal de Marco Rubio a piégé plusieurs responsables politiques. Enfin, ils discutent du faux groupe IA Velvet Sundown, qui interroge l'avenir de la musique générée.

Jimmy criticizes the Trump administration and Senator Marco Rubio for imposing sanctions on Francesca Albanese, a UN official who reported corporate profiteering from Israel's actions in Gaza.  He and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger argue that instead of holding war criminals like Benjamin Netanyahu accountable, the U.S. targets whistleblowers who expose human rights violations, highlighting the hypocrisy of lifting sanctions on known terrorists while punishing those who defend international law. Plus segments on China and 20 other nations meeting to discuss taking action to stop the Israeli genocide in Gaza and Trump calling his devoted MAGA followers “stupid” and “weaklings” for falling for what he terms the “Epstein Hoax.” Also featuring Mike MacRae, Stef Zamorano, Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss. And a phone call from Alan Dershowitz!

Darrell Castle continues his discussion of Jeffrey Epstein and the list of his customers which doesn't exist along with the subjects of his blackmail which as we know does not exist either. DOES THE EPSTEIN LIST REALLY MATTER Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. There are many things of vital importance today such as war in the Middle East and war in Ukraine but I have decided to continue my discussion of Jeffrey Epstein and the list of his customers which doesn't exist along with the subjects of his blackmail which as we all know does not exist either. Just to refresh your collective memories a little bit last week the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that Jeffrey Epstein did not maintain a client list of prominent people who were being blackmailed by Jeffrey Epstein acting as the agent for the Israeli Intelligence Service, Mossad. There are many reasons why the list is so important and why it threatens what's left of government credibility. First of all, it's extremely frightening to think that we have a government that is completely untrustworthy in all respects. I'm not talking about Democrats and Republicans I'm talking about the U.S. Government in general. Who would want to pay taxes voluntarily or serve in the military of a government like that. To further complicate things throughout history when people have lost faith in their government's credibility revolution has been the result. Two prominent examples would be the French Revolution of 1789 and the Russian/Communist Revolution of 1917. In both cases the government which came forward to save the country from chaos and mass murder was far worse and killed far more people than its predecessor. Here in 2025 America, we have a government which came in with such promise for most of us and certainly for the President's followers who were known as MAGA. Together, America was going to be great again. MAGA had certain goals which carried the campaign to victory. There would be an end to illegal immigration and there would be deportation of illegal criminals. So far so good although Democrats in congress fight each and every deportation even when the one being deported is a known criminal. Now we hear rumors that Trump might be considering some form of amnesty but his base rebelled when that test rumor was circulated. The answer to the rebellion was simple. Amnesty was proposed piecemeal and in a disguised fashion. The folks in big agriculture, the restaurant business and chicken slaughterhouses need their cheap labor so maybe the President would consider an exemption for workers in those industries.  The heart of MAGA was of course the hope of peace. This president was going to bring peace and withdraw America from forever wars. Trump said in his campaign that he could end the war in Ukraine with a few phone calls but now six months after inauguration the war rages on and it has become his war. Just this week he decided to bully Vladimir Putin by giving him 50 days to comply with Trump's demands or he would “ruin Russia financially.” Zelensky said that it is too long and just wastes time and lives. I guess he just wants to get on with killing. He is shipping “billions of dollars” of new weapons to Ukraine including long range missiles designed to reach deep into Russia, but now he says they won't be used to hit Moscow. I hope that someone reminded the President that Russia has about 6000 nuclear warheads with systems to deliver them which cannot be defeated conventionally. He would also be wise to remember that Genghis Khan, Nepoleon Bonaparte, and Adolph Hitler were all unsuccessful in their efforts to intimidate and then conquer Russia. The point is that with a couple of notable exceptions the peace president is no more. The notable exceptions were Marco Rubio's successful negotiations to bring peace to the Pakistan-India War and a war in Africa which had been on again off again for decades.

« Jour de vote sous haute surveillance dans un climat calme, mais tendu », titre Ici Lomé. « Le pays ayant connu en juin une vague de manifestations réclamant le départ de Faure Gnassingbé, dont la famille règne depuis près de soixante ans sur le pays », poursuit le journal. Les Togolais étaient appelés aux urnes pour élire 1527 conseillers municipaux dans 117 communes. Jeudi, dans les rues, « les boutiques étaient ouvertes, les marchés animés (…), les activités économiques ne semblaient pas perturbées par le scrutin ». Aucune tension non plus dans les « anciens bastions de l'opposition », le calme ambiant contrastait avec « les appels à la mobilisation lancée par le Mouvement du 6 juin », rapporte toujours Ici Lomé. « Une ambiance sereine relevée aussi bien par les acteurs politiques que par les observateurs », note également Republic of Togo. « À Lomé comme dans d'autres centres urbains, la participation est restée timide », constate de son côté Togo Breaking News. Ce qui témoigne selon le titre d'un « désintérêt relatif ou d'un engouement discret malgré les enjeux liés à la gouvernance locale ». « La qualité d'une élection ne se mesure pas uniquement à son taux de participation, écrit Republic of Togo, mais aussi à sa transparence, sa régularité et sa capacité à refléter la volonté populaire ». Les résultats provisoires sont attendus dans les jours à venir. Au Sénégal, une page historique s'est tournée « L'armée française quitte officiellement le Sénégal », écrit Dakaractu. L'escale aéronautique militaire, située à l'aéroport et le camp Geille, ont été restitués aux autorités sénégalaises. « Le transfert de ce camp, haut lieu de la coopération franco-sénégalaise marque la fin de la dernière base militaire permanente dans le pays ». Un événement « chargé de symboles », poursuit le titre. Mais « derrière les discours protocolaires transparait une vérité amère : la France quitte l'Afrique de l'Ouest sous pression, contrainte d'admettre que sa présence militaire n'est plus la bienvenue », poursuit Dakaractu. « Ce retrait est bien plus qu'une simple reconfiguration militaire, analyse Afrik.com, il scelle la fin d'une époque où la France conservait un ancrage stratégique au cœur de l'Afrique de l'Ouest... Pour les autorités sénégalaises, c'est un acte de souveraineté retrouvé ; pour Paris, une volonté affichée de faire évoluer son rôle sur le continent ». « Il ne s'agit pas d'une rupture à l'image de celle intervenue dans l'espace de l'Alliance des États du Sahel » avec le Mali, le Burkina Faso et le Niger, pointe Aujourd'hui au Faso mais « ce départ voulu par les nouveaux dirigeants sénégalais va ouvrir la voie à un nouveau paradigme dans la coopération entre l'ancienne puissance coloniale et ses ex-colonies bien qu'il s'agisse d'un "partenariat rénové" comme l'a souhaité Diomaye Faye ». C'est aussi ce que retient à Paris Le Monde Afrique, « contrairement aux retraits français dans les autres pays du Sahel, ce départ se fait sans rupture entre les deux États ». Les ministres des Finances du G20 en Afrique du Sud « Les pays du Sud global plaident pour une réduction des inégalités », titre Africanews. « Les nations africaines appellent au changement. Les coûts d'emprunt élevés continuent de décourager les investissements et d'étouffer les dépenses publiques dans les domaines de la santé, de l'éducation et des programmes d'infrastructures », rapporte le site internet. « L'Afrique du Sud, qui préside le G20 cette année, a mis l'accent sur la nécessité d'aborder les causes profondes des inégalités économiques mondiales », note Afrik.com. Mais le pays doit composer avec un « contexte tendu, aggravé par les tensions avec les États-Unis », pointe Africaradio. Le secrétaire américain au Trésor, « Scott Bessent était absent, tout comme Marco Rubio, secrétaire d'État, lors des précédentes réunions (…) ce qui fragilise la coordination multilatérale à quelques mois du sommet des chefs d'État prévu à Johannesburg les 22 et 23 novembre. 

Julia Ioffe joins guest host Leigh Ann Caldwell to unpack the implications of the sweeping layoffs at the State Department, which have left 1300 staffers out in the cold. Then they examine Marco Rubio's tenure as Secretary of State, illuminating his emerging role as a key architect of Trump's evolving foreign policy—while sidestepping his actual duty to manage the reorganization of the State Department.

Send us a textThis week, Ken Fong and I take on a sobering question: Why do so many Americans celebrate cruelty? With the help of British psychiatrist Dr. Russell Razzaque, we explore the mental state of Donald Trump and the deeper dynamics that fuel authoritarian behavior. At the core? Fear. Not fear of crime or poverty—but of losing status, especially among white men who once held unchallenged social dominance.We look at the disturbing celebration of cruelty—like the now-infamous photo of Trump, Marco Rubio, and Kristi Noem laughing in front of cages at “Alligator Alcatraz,” a holding camp for migrants. For many in the MAGA base, this isn't about policy—it's about resentment, superiority, and pushing others down to feel powerful again.Drawing on insights from David Brooks and Alasdair MacIntyre, we trace how our culture shifted from communal virtue to individual preference. We've moved from the language of “duty” and “honor” to the language of “want” and “leverage.” And in doing so, we've lost the moral grounding that once came from religion, tradition, and community.The 2024 award-winning German feature film, The Zone of Interest, makes the powerful, dramatic point. We humans can be so focused on our personal comfort and well-being that we remain oblivious to the callous cruelty and inhuman brutality right next door.We also ask: How did compassion and humility get replaced by bile and demonstrative cruelty? Why does backing and supporting Trump feel personal and set in stone to his followers? And how do we reclaim a moral vocabulary that elevates character over charisma?Finally, don't miss our call to action: Join the Good Trouble movement this month. Protest. Speak up. Reclaim our shared values.LINKS: Psychiatrist Russell Razzaque, M.D.ATLANTIC David BrooksFILM: ZONE OF INTERESTGOOD TROUBLE Protest Support the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

The Justice Department Shuffle & The Epstein Files Saga Welcome to Purple Political Breakdown, where we cut through the political chaos with nuanced analysis and deep research. This episode dives into the explosive political developments that have Washington spinning faster than a Marvel movie timeline. Nuanced News Breakdown: We start with what we're calling the "Justice Department Shuffle" - Attorney General Pam Bondi's systematic firing of over 20 Justice Department employees who worked on January 6th cases and Trump's classified documents investigation. These weren't random layoffs but targeted removals through the "Weaponization Working Group," bringing total Jack Smith special counsel-related firings to about 35 people. The episode explores how internal drama over the Jeffrey Epstein situation delayed these firings, and why the MAGA base - including Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk, and Steve Bannon - are calling it a cover-up. We'll break down the Trump-Rosie O'Donnell citizenship threat drama, the State Department's bureaucratic earthquake where Marco Rubio fired over 1,300 employees in a single day, and the legal battles mounting around Trump's E. Jean Carroll case and birthright citizenship executive order. Plus, we cover immigration enforcement controversies, Supreme Court cases on transgender athlete bans, and why FBI Director Kash Patel is reportedly considering leaving the administration. Research Deep Dive: Our main research segment takes you inside the Trump-Epstein files saga - the most explosive political story of 2025. We trace the relationship from 1987 through their 15-year friendship, Trump's 2002 comments calling Epstein a "terrific guy," their documented social interactions at Mar-a-Lago, and the real estate dispute that allegedly ended their relationship in 2005. We examine key figures like Alexander Acosta (who gave Epstein the controversial 2008 plea deal and later became Trump's Labor Secretary) and Pam Bondi's complicated history with the case as Florida's Attorney General. The episode breaks down the campaign promises made by Trump's inner circle about releasing Epstein files and exposing client lists, contrasted with the anticlimactic July 2025 Justice Department memo that found "no incriminating client list." The research culminates with Elon Musk's explosive June 2025 Twitter accusation that Trump is in the Epstein files and that's why they haven't been made public - turning a former alliance into a political nuclear bomb that has Congressional Democrats demanding answers and Trump's base questioning everything they were promised. This episode perfectly captures how decades-old relationships can become current political crises, and how the promise of transparency can itself become a source of explosive controversy.

Could a summit between President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping be on the horizon? Secretary of State Marco Rubio says it's a "high probability." It follows Rubio's meeting with China's top diplomat—details on that, coming up. The Trump administration is working to ban ownership of U.S. farmland by Chinese nationals. But that's just one piece of the bigger picture when it comes to keeping America's food supply safe. The Pentagon is becoming the top stakeholder in the United States' largest rare earths miner. This deal is a key step toward securing America's rare earths supply amid challenges from China. And are trade tensions between the U.S. and Brazil pushing South America's largest economy closer to China? A Brazilian expert says yes—and shares more about China's rising influence in the region. The United States names China a key threat during a meeting of top military chiefs from the U.S., Japan, and South Korea. At the same time, a B-52 bomber made a rare flight this year over the Korean Peninsula.  

The Department of Justice's recent Jeffrey Epstein report has left some in the MAGA crowd with more questions than answers. FBI deputy director Dan Bongino is considering leaving his job following a heated confrontation with Attorney General Pam Bondi over how the Justice Department handled files on the convicted sex offender. Mary McCord and Joe Walsh join The Weekend to discuss the fight roiling the MAGA faithful.

Understand that none of the candidates who ran in 2016 or 2020 for Democrats will be viable candidates. And they had long lists in both races. The person who will inherit the Democrats' baton will be completely new. I will leave you to figure out who the possibilities are. But the Republicans have a lineup.As PJ Media wrote, undoubtedly JD Vance is a top contender for getting the baton from President Trump.

Tommy and Ben take a break from impersonating Marco Rubio to cover Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington to kiss Trump's ass, the ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas in Qatar, the IDF's latest plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza, and shifting opinions on Israel within the Democratic Party. They also discuss Trump's confusing about-face on sending weapons to Ukraine, the continued incoherence of Trump's tariff policy and his needless antagonism of the BRICS countries. Finally, they talk about the finger-wagging at Tucker Carlson for his interview with Iran's president, the border crisis in Afghanistan, the Dalai Lama's succession plan and how China could interfere, the dispute between Thailand and Cambodia that's caused a political meltdown in Bangkok, and the administration's cruel termination of Temporary Protected Status for Hondurans and Nicaraguans. Then, Ben speaks with Representative Jason Crow about how the “Big Beautiful Bill” will tank America's global standing, intelligence in the age of Trump and Tulsi Gabbard, and where the Democratic Party needs to go on foreign policy.

An ABC News investigation reveals years of discussions by Texas officials about flood warnings systems that were never purchased. The Transportation Security Administration announces the end of shoe checks in security lines. And the State Department claims someone has been contacting foreign governments on Signal, while impersonating Marco Rubio.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Trump extended his deadline for countries to make tariff deals, and sent a host of letters threatening new measures. Brian Schwartz at the Wall Street Journal brings us up to speed. Mary Ilyushina with the Washington Post discusses Putin’s “anti-woke” visa, and how U.S. citizens are using it to migrate to Russia. Cuts are coming for the federal SNAP program, which provides food assistance to more than 40 million Americans. Marcia Brown with Politico explains how the move will leave food banks scrambling to make up the difference. Plus, a Marco Rubio imposter has been using AI to contact foreign ministers, the soccer governing body FIFA turned to Trump Tower for office space, and we say goodbye to a hated airport-security measure. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.

Michael Popok is back at the Intersection with breaking news at the hot corner of law and politics and tackles: 1)  Trump's Big Beautiful Bill's attempts to defund and put Planned Parenthood out of business being blocked by a Big Beautiful Temporary Restraining Order; 2) Judge Xinis telling the DOJ, effectively, that they can't be trusted and ordering that they go under oath in the witness box this week about the Abrego Garcia case; 3) how one Federal Judge in Boston is single handily blocking the Trump Administration's Birth Right Citizenship cancelling executive order; 4) Marco Rubio is a "Deeper Fake" than we thought with a new Signal scandal rocking the Trump Administration and undermining our national security, and so much more.

David Waldman returns for the Wednesday KITM and look who he brought — Greg Dworkin! Greg asks, where are the Evangelicals? Well, not out doing God's work, that's for sure. Donald K. Trump, who lies a lot, lied a lot at his cabinet meeting yesterday. Ric Grenell and Marco Rubio art of the dealed each other out of prisoner swaps in El Salvador. (Marco's AI imposter could do a better job.) Pete (Hic!) seth held back arms to Ukraine but left boss Trump out of the chat. That's ok, Donald's boss never listens to him either. Kimberly Guilfoyle could've been First Lady, twice, but will settle for a big fat Greek ambassadorship. Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't seem to know that much, but that's only because she's an idiot. Marge clearly does her research. Trump thought all this Jeffery Epstein nonsense was killed in its jailcell and cremated long ago, but no, just like some drugged 13-year-old girl, they just can't seem to let it go. Meanwhile, in the midst of a tragic disaster in Texas, reporters have the bad taste to show disrespect for inept public servants. Sirens would have helped, as would even a timely text. The Bayeux Tapestry travels from France to Britain for the first time in history, but you can look at it on your phone. UVA president James E. Ryan threw himself in front of the Trump Train to save his university, and its grant structure. The FBI investigates the FBI for its associations with other FBI members as if they were the Stasi. Trump tariffs are going to make copper more expensive here than almost anywhere. 

A verdict has been delivered by the jury in the Diddy trial. Should you care about it? Jesse Kelly reveals whether he cares. This news comes as Marco Rubio just terminated USAID. Jesse gives his thoughts on that, as well as a big legal win against the media. You'll also hear from former UPenn swimmer Paula Scanlan about a big policy change from her alma mater. Plus, a historic FBI scandal broken down by Jerry Dunleavy of Just The News.
