In the immediate aftermath of the fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis, Senate Democrats are attempting to translate outrage into leverage. After a closed-door caucus, they emerged unified around a set of concrete demands tied to Homeland Security funding: tighter warrant requirements, bans on agents wearing masks, mandatory body cameras, visible identification, and a uniform code of conduct with independent investigations. These are not abstract reforms. They are specific guardrails aimed at slowing enforcement down and restoring a baseline of accountability.The politics here are brutal. Republicans are warning that reopening the funding package would stall it in the House, and they may be right. Any deal that ultimately passes will require Donald Trump's explicit blessing, otherwise it dies before it clears the lower chamber. At this point, a partial government shutdown looks likely no matter what. The real strategic question for Democrats is prioritization. If they are forced to choose, which reform matters most. Masks. Warrants. Body cameras. They can't win them all, and it's up to them to determine which one is worth a shutdown fight.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

The bureau confirmed the investigation is ongoing but offered no details. County officials acknowledged the focus on 2020 materials and declined further comment.Anything touching the 2020 election is radioactive. Anything touching Georgia is worse. This reopens the deepest fault line inside the state Republican Party, the one that pits Donald Trump against Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Trump tried and failed to destroy both men politically, and they emerged stronger for it. Whenever 2020 resurfaces, that fragile détente collapses. Even without knowing where this investigation leads, the act of reopening the file guarantees renewed tension inside Georgia politics and fresh oxygen for conspiracy narratives.The Fed Holds Steady Under Growing PressureThe Federal Reserve held interest rates steady at 3.5 to 3.75 percent, signaling confidence in economic growth and a stabilizing labor market after three rate cuts late last year. The language shift mattered. The Fed removed references to rising employment risks and emphasized that rates are now near neutral. Chair Jerome Powell stressed that future decisions will be data-driven, not political.That reassurance comes amid extraordinary pressure. The Justice Department is investigating matters related to the Fed, the Supreme Court is weighing a case on presidential authority over the institution, and Donald Trump is nearing a decision on who he will nominate to succeed Powell. Two Trump-appointed governors dissented, favoring a quarter-point cut. Through it all, Powell insisted the Fed's independence remains intact. Whether markets believe that as the political scrutiny intensifies is the question that now hangs over monetary policy.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:01:58 - Bill Scher on a Potential Gov Shutdown and Dem Primaries00:43:47 - Update00:44:18 - Democrat Demands for DHS00:46:17 - Fulton County FBI Investigation00:47:51 - Fed Rate Holds00:49:13 - Chris Cillizza on CBS News, Washington Post, and Modern Media01:41:01 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Portugal folklore turns feral in the mountain village of Podence, where the only warning is the clatter of cowbellsricocheting off stone walls. Then the Caretos burst from the dark—men (and now women and kids, too) swallowed in ragged ribbons of red, yellow, and green, faces erased behind blood-red demon masks, hips loaded with heavy bell harnesses that turn every lunge into a metallic scream. It's Carnival… but it moves like a hunt.This is Entrudo—a tradition believed to reach back to pre-Roman Celtic seasonal rites, an “entry” into the warm season after winter's darkness. Long before Lent ever claimed the calendar, this was a community ritual of mischief, rule-breaking, and purification: scare off the bad spirits, shake loose the old year, and drag spring and fertility into the streets by force of noise.Inside this episode:The first warning: cowbells in a stone alley, laughter turning predatoryAncient roots: the pagan “entry” of Entrudo and the Celtic ties that won't dieThe disguise: fringed wool suits, horned masks, and the deafening bell harnessRitual permission: three days where chaos is allowed—then paid forFire and farewell: the burning of effigies, bonfires, and Carnival's final cleansingNear-extinction and comeback: depopulation, revival, facanitos, and a tradition rebornUNESCO recognition: how Podence's “carnival demons” became world-famous without going tameCousins of the Caretos: Peliqueiros, Joaldunak, and Iberia's other bell-bearing “devils”If you ever find yourself in Podence after dark—listening to cowbells get closer—remember: the masks don't perform. They pounce.We're telling that story tonight.

Dear Mr. Baker,I am but one in a sea of many Americans viewed as a threat to the established order. I was once a part of that order. I helped build it. It would turn out I couldn't survive because I couldn't follow the rules of thought and speech that are mandated by everyone on the Left, especially those at the New York Times.It's personal, you see. I used to believe that if all I did was read Page One of the New York Times, I'd be well-informed. Brainwashed is more like it.It's easy to spot the bias now where it wasn't before. For instance, this was the New York Times on January 12th, and one of the strongest activists for the Democrats pretending they're pushing some sort of objective conclusion on X.But that's just another day at the New York Times. I know you didn't write this piece, Michelle Goldberg did, but it is worth mentioning as an aside that no, the “resistance libs” were not right. They were never right. I was one of them until I wasn't. It's been an ugly road out of the Doomsday Cult of the Left, but now, I live free as an exile.We were never the “resistance.” We were always the empire. We colonized the internet, after all, and, together with Barack Obama, the rise of Silicon Valley, social media, and the iPhone, as society migrated online, we were in control of all of it.But that's a story for a different time, Mr. Baker. This letter is much more urgent regarding the matters at hand. Your “analysis” and observation about Trump and protests is so wildly off base, a complete distortion of reality, that I felt compelled to write you this letter. You wrote:You write:President Trump had a ringing message of solidarity on Tuesday for demonstrators in the streets. “KEEP PROTESTING - TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!!” he wrote on social media. He decried “the senseless killing of protesters,” and added that those pulling the triggers “will pay a big price.”He meant the protesters in Tehran, not Minneapolis. By contrast, the people in the streets of Minnesota, he wrote just 63 minutes earlier, were “anarchists and professional agitators” trying to cover up a fraud scandal. He vowed that “THE DAY OF RECKONING & RETRIBUTION IS COMING!”The eruption of protests on opposite sides of the planet at this moment in history has brought Mr. Trump's views of democracy and popular dissent into stark relief. The situations in Iran and Minnesota, of course, are different and complicated, but the president's rule of thumb seems simple enough: Those who take to the streets supporting a cause he favors are laudable heroes. Those who take to the streets to oppose him are illegitimate radicals.I read this, and my jaw dropped open, Mr. Baker. Where have you been for the past five years as we watched a split screen of protests in the Summer of 2020 and then on January 6th? Are you actually saying that you at the New York Times and anyone on the Left saw these things as comparable? Democracy and popular dissent in stark relief, boy, I couldn't have said it better myself.Tell me this is satire. Tell me you do not live in such an isolated bubble that you can't possibly see the blatant hypocrisy here? The treatment of these two events was very different and will be written about in opposite ways in history books forever. One will be seen as heroic and democracy in action, and the other, as dangerous. An insurrection in action. People like me were pulling our hair out, not because we would justify the riot at the Capitol, but because all of you said nothing about what happened in the Summer of 2020, a year that broke America and broke me.It wasn't only your paper that lied that Trump “incited” a mob to storm the Capitol and that it was a threat to “democracy.” That was the narrative pushed by every legacy media outlet, with no kind words for the protesters who were also doing what protesters do - getting angry and having their voices heard by a government and a culture that had demonized them, dehumanized them, and abandoned them. Trump included.The Democrats put up a Green-Zone-like fence around the Capitol. Ordinary Americans had their doors kicked in as the FBI hauled them off to jail. Anyone who even attended the “mostly peaceful” protest on January 6th was called an “insurrectionist” and “election denier,” and anyone who dared to question the 2020 election or who voted for Trump was inspected under a microscope by you all as some kind of insect or insurgent terrorist. Vice President Kamala Harris likened it to 9/11 and the attack on Pearl Harbor. These were American citizens, many of whom had been on lockdown, their businesses destroyed after COVID, and had watched the absurd events of 2020 play out. Masks, no masks, “systemic racism was more urgent than COVID,” then the pivot back to COVID, changing election rules, preventing people from gathering and thus, preventing campaigning, a surge of mail-in voting that won the election all before Election Day, a revolution in the streets that almost no one in the mainstream was even talking about once they got really bad, lest they hurt the Democrats.Oh, I know the game. I know we're all supposed to see the Trump supporters as racists, angry that Black and Brown people were in government, a second Confederacy flying their Dixie flags on January 6th, and that the protests over the Summer were about racial inequality and therefore justified. But here's the thing about democracy. You don't get to decide. We either all have the same rights or we don't have a democracy.There was nothing in your coverage, or the Liz Cheney show trial, that was, in any way, fair to the Americans who protested that day, and even to Donald Trump, who had a right to have their voices heard. No, they didn't have the right to riot. Ashli Babbitt lost her life over it, and then her memory was dragged through the mud by all of you.Here is how the Times covered Ashli Babbitt:And here is how they covered Renee Good:You see, one is treated like human garbage, and the other is treated like a hero. So just say it. Just admit that this has become a two-tiered society, you are among the ruling class, and the underclass has none of the same rights. You will decide they are “racists” and thus have no real stake in what happens in this country, even when they win the popular vote. Now that the protests in Minneapolis are violent, as violent as, if not more so than, January 6th, still you say nothing and pretend they are fighting the good fight. What has changed in ten years? Nothing except the Democrats failing to address the problem, allowing millions to flood over the border, and shaming Americans for caring about it. It's a sickness on the Left by now, a reality distortion that spilled out into real-world violence. Just look at what happened at Evergreen College. These students believed they were protesting “racism” at one of the most liberal colleges in America. Why? Because Bret Weinstein did not think it was right that white people should be asked to leave the campus on a “day of absence.”This kind of strange, new, justified violence by people who don't live in the same reality as the rest of us has become the new normal on the Left, backed up by all of you. How dare you compare them to the protesters in Iran? Complicated, you say? Oh, it's way beyond that. Pampered, privileged, bored white women and bratty college kids attacking ICE are, in no way, risking their lives. Yes, if you attack a police officer or an ICE officer, you are risking your life. Every American knows that if they live in the real world. In Iran, you are risking your life just for standing there and protesting peacefully, or speaking out of turn, or anything they decide is a crime punishable by death, which include adultry, dissent against the government, and blasphemy. At the New York Times, you want the tragic death of Renee Good to be the symbol for protesters dying at the hands of the regime, but, as usual, it is not the truth. That won't stop you from perpetuating the mass delusion and injecting it into the veins of your already unhinged readership.Here is Page One of the New York Times today. Every headline is about Renee Good. That is still the most important news of the day, even as hundreds, maybe thousands of Iranians are slaughtered.Followed by non-stop negative Trump coverage:The protests in Minneapolis are not against ICE. They are against democracy. The wrong people won the election, and that means the Left throws a fit. They've been throwing fits for ten years, starting in 2015 when they attacked a group of Trump supporters in California, calling them “racists,” because all of you sold them that lie. The violence continued on through Trump's inaugural and protests all through his first term. The Summer of 2020 was the biggest by far in modern American history, yet the legacy media, your paper, Mr. Baker, did not capture the truth of what happened. The baby tyrants who run your newsroom insisted the one op-ed by Tom Cotton, Send in the Troops, was itself violence and that caused the resignation of Bari Weiss and James Bennett, a shamefulprotst moment that should live on in infamy if people tell the truth. The Left's protesting now says one thing: Do what we want, or else. That is, Mr. Baker, closer to fascism than Trump will ever be. // This is a public episode.

A measles outbreak in South Carolina has reignited a debate many thought was settled decades ago—but this time, it's different. At a packed school board meeting, a teacher's family raises alarms, a gubernatorial candidate calls for re-examining vaccine exemptions, and parents are left asking uncomfortable questions. With over 430 reported measles cases, including infections among vaccinated individuals, this episode dives into vaccine efficacy, religious exemptions, herd immunity, and the lingering trust gap left behind by COVID-era government messaging. If vaccines work, why are vaccinated teachers getting sick? If mandates expand, where does it stop? This isn't an anti-vaccine discussion—it's a conversation about transparency, risk, trust, and whether public health policy still matches reality.

Welcome back to MACABRE: Dark History, where today we descend into the farmhouse from hell and meet the man who didn't just haunt Wisconsin—he rewired horror forever.In this episode, we unravel the deeply disturbing life of Ed Gein, the quiet loner from Plainfield, Wisconsin whose crimes blurred the line between reality and nightmare. From a suffocatingly religious upbringing and obsessive attachment to his mother, to grave robbing, body snatching, and the unspeakable creations found inside his home—this is the true story behind the inspiration for some of horror's most iconic monsters.We explore what was actually proven, what became exaggerated by the press, and how Gein's crimes shaped pop culture, influencing everything from slasher films to psychological horror tropes still used today. Along the way, we dig into the investigation, the trial, the mental health questions, and why Gein remains one of the most unsettling figures in American history—despite having a relatively low confirmed body count.It's grotesque. It's grim. It's deeply uncomfortable.And it's another reminder that sometimes the scariest monsters are painfully real.Listener discretion is very advised.

It was 2020 - a year that may just have changed American culture more than any other year in the 250 that the country's been around. And folks were FUSSING. Masks, toilet paper, the cost of food... it was driving us all crazy. But, just a day before Preacher Man's birthday, it also provided a good opportunity for us to think about the things that were occupying our thoughts and conversations. An episode about Gossip - that's what this is.Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend andPreacher Man muse on?

importante: il messaggio che Luca doveva consegnare poteva compromettere una persona innocente.En: As they led the way, Giulia noticed something important: the message Luca had to deliver could

On this remastered episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we complete our 3-part series on Picking a TTRPG that is not DnD or Pathfinder by adventuring deep into the vast and thrilling universe of tabletop RPGs. From the spine-chilling cosmic horror of Alien RPG to the gritty nihilism of Death in Space, we're exploring the diverse themes of space exploration, teenage superheroes, cyberpunk chaos, and even the villainous fun of Necessary Evil. Join us as we tackle the art of balancing crunch with accessibility, dive into the rise of one-page RPGs for quick and chaotic adventures, and share tips on crafting immersive narratives that players will love. Whether you're a seasoned RPG fan or just starting your journey, this episode is packed with laughs, insights, and galactic-level inspiration. Summary In this action-packed episode, the hosts boldly go where no podcasters have gone before, diving into the endless void of tabletop RPGs. They tackle the cosmic horror of Alien RPG, the nihilistic beauty of Death in Space, and even dare to balance crunchiness with accessibility (spoiler: it's like herding space cats). From dark Imperium nihilism to Star Wars' Force-wielding antics, they traverse the galaxy of RPG themes, stopping only to admire the Cyberpunk neon and hack a Shadowrun corporate server. Marvel superheroes swing by, Necessary Evil villains cackle maniacally, and Masks' teen heroes roll for high school drama. Just when you think they're done, they reveal the rise of one-page RPGs—because why spend hours preparing when you can save the universe in 15 minutes? Grab your dice and your sense of humor, and tune in to explore the weird, wonderful, and wildly nerdy world of tabletop gaming.

Exploring specific genres, like space horror, post-apocalyptic worlds, or teenage superhero drama in Masks, can help groups find the perfect game. Beloved franchises like Star Wars RPG and Marvel Multiverse capture iconic elements, while innovative hybrids like Cyberpunk and Shadowrun blend themes in exciting ways. Lesser-known RPGs often hide creative gems, and one-page RPGs stand out as quick, accessible options for introducing new players or enjoying fast-paced fun.

What if the students who say they're “good” are the ones we need to check on the most?In this episode of unMASKing with Male Educators, Ashanti Branch pulls back the curtain on what young men are actually carrying beneath the surface, using real words, real data, and real stories from the Global Young Men's Conference and the Million Mask Movement.Drawing from over two decades of work with young men, Ashanti walks listeners through powerful mask reflections created by students across the Bay Area. These masks reveal a striking disconnect between what young men show the world, happy, funny, kind, and what they hide, sadness, anger, exhaustion, loneliness, fear. Through stories, statistics, and lived experience, Ashanti challenges educators, parents, and systems to stop mistaking compliance for wellness and silence for safety.This episode is both a wake-up call and an invitation: to slow down, ask better questions, create emotionally safer spaces, and truly mean it when we ask, “How are you doing?”Why “I'm good” is often a mask, not the truthWhat young men's masks reveal about loneliness, sadness, and emotional overloadThe dangerous gap between how students appear and how they actually feelWhy emotional safety is foundational to attendance, behavior, and academic successHow fear, violence, and instability shape students' ability to show up to schoolThe hidden emotional labor young men carry to protect others from worryingWhy humor, kindness, and being “the funny one” can be survival strategiesHow social media, isolation, and consumption culture deepen disconnectionWhat educators miss when curriculum matters more than connectionHow the Million Mask Movement helps schools get to the root, not just the symptomsWhy listening—not fixing—is often the most powerful interventionA call to parents, educators, and leaders to stop staying silentIn this episode, Ashanti explores:(0:00) Welcome to unMASKing with Male Educators(0:41) Why this conversation matters as we head into 2026(2:00) Data as words: listening to what young men aren't saying(5:04) Voices from the Global Young Men's Conference(6:28) Introducing the Million Mask reflections(12:00) Why students don't show up when they don't feel safe(15:12) Survival brains, fear, and school attendance(16:30) Front-of-mask data: happy, funny, kind(17:09) Back-of-mask data: sad, angry, tired, alone(19:34) What “happy” students are hiding(22:41) The emotional cost of never being asked twice(24:55) The funny kid: humor as armor(27:18) Social media, isolation, and identity fragmentation(30:47) Why words matter more than spreadsheets(33:15) Invitation to make a mask and bring this work to schools(35:33) Speaking truth to systems and school boards(38:00) A call to parents, educators, and advocates(40:00) Closing reflections and what's coming nextResources & Ways to EngageThe Million Mask Movement – Create a mask anonymously: https://millionmask.orgEducator Portal – Bring mask-making and emotional data into your schoolGlobal Young Men's Conference – Youth voice, belonging, and healing spacesEver Forward Club – Brotherhood, connection, and mentorshipConnect with Ashanti BranchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/branchspeaks/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BranchSpeaksTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/BranchSpeaksLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashantibranch/Website: https://www.branchspeaks.com/Support the Podcast & Ever Forward Clubhttps://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/branch-speaks/support#unmaskingwithmaleeducators #millionmaskmovement #takingoffthemask #emotionalSafety #SEL #youthvoice #schoolculture #mentalhealthineducation

In this wide-open Sunday sit-down, host David Smith and guest Jack unpack America's contradictions — from food aid and fairness to military spending, political corruption, and the pandemic's fallout. What starts as a debate about SNAP benefits and welfare accountability turns into a full-blown conversation about foreign aid, CIA funding loops, pandemic psy-ops, and whether UFOs are already here.It's part kitchen-table talk, part late-night philosophy, part social autopsy — equal parts real talk and ridiculous.They tackle:The truth and myths about EBT/SNAP and government aid.U.S. spending priorities — veterans vs. Ukraine, Israel, and the military-industrial complex.How COVID policy, vaccine kickbacks, and mask theater exposed public trust cracks.Whether AI, surveillance, and Agenda 21-style “smart cities” mean freedom or control.UFOs, Bob Lazar, Operation Blue Beam, and alien overlords (because of course it ends there).This is “And Another Thing With Dave” at its purest: irreverent, unfiltered, and brutally honest — where serious ideas mix with satire and skepticism.Thank you for tuning in!If you are digging what I am doing, and picking up what I'm putting down, please follow, subscribe, and share the podcast on social media and with friends.

Dale and Rachel catch up on life, travel, and the strange conversations that only long-term platonic friends can have. They debate manicures, dating standards, and whether asking for a feet picture is ever acceptable. Rachel explains why she wore a salmon sperm face mask on a flight and how she handled the internet backlash that followed.The conversation shifts to Dale's NBC6 appearance, the brainstorming process behind naming his sports segment Dale's Download, and the stress of live television. They also share stories from Spirit Airlines, reality show hosting at Camp Challenge, and wrap with their “say it with your chest” segment, touching on airline fees and a serious moment about witnessing immigration enforcement in real time.

Send us a textIf love feels slippery or one-sided, this conversation brings it down to earth. We sit with Chris and Kathy Daly, they learned in their marriage to trade performance, guilt, and quiet resentment for something sturdier: a Christ-shaped love that chooses, forgives, and serves even when the feelings lag. Their story doesn't hide the hard parts—blended family tensions, baggage from previous marriages, and the temptation to keep a perfect mask—but it shows how faith and community can turn pain into purpose.We walk through the moment their guard dropped at church and what changed when they realized love isn't a mood but a decision. Kathy shares how freedom from shame unlocked the capacity to give and receive affection again. Chris frames marriage with the “triangle” model: as each spouse looks to Jesus, they naturally draw closer to each other. Together, they unpack the difference between selfish and selfless love, why pride blocks repair, and how practical encouragement fills your partner's “bucket” so there's actually something in reserve when conflict hits.Forgiveness is the hinge in their approach. You'll hear a simple but unforgettable exercise that makes bitterness feel as heavy as it is, and a freeing reminder to trust God's justice rather than play judge. We also get into communication that actually works—naming expectations, speaking love languages, and asking questions like “How do you know I love you?” These aren't big gestures; they're daily investments that keep you off the “crazy cycle” and build a resilient, affectionate bond.We also introduce Re:Engage, our 14-week marriage pathway at Lifehouse Church. Each spouse completes a weekly chapter on their own, then talks through it together before group, creating space for deep conversations that busy couples often skip. The result: shared vocabulary, honest testimony, and a safe community where isolation loses its grip. Whether you feel steady or stuck, there's room to grow—and real people ready to walk with you.If this resonated, subscribe, share it with a couple who needs hope, and leave a review so more listeners can find these conversations.

Your dungeon architects are back at it, with this third installment of Masks of Nyarlathotep. This time we take a look at the Australia leg of that world-hopping campaign.

This week we're closing out the year with the moments that shaped 2025; the trends that genuinely made a difference, the habits that stuck and the simple rituals our whole community kept coming back to. From red light masks and fibre-maxxing to the wellness shifts that actually felt doable, we're sharing what mattered most and why it resonated. We're also diving into your end-of-year questions, from navigating UPFs and building easy plant-forward meals to creating cosy evening rituals and figuring out which habits are really worth prioritising. It's a practical, honest look at what helped us feel grounded this year and the small anchors we're taking with us into 2026. Grab your copy of Ella's new book 'Quick Wins' - out today!

In this episode, Jason Schroeder breaks down a counterintuitive but powerful idea that explains why so many projects never truly improve: money hides waste. Through real construction examples, including data centers and everyday field decisions, Jason shows how throwing money at problems masks poor systems, bad planning, and missed opportunities for real improvement.  What you'll learn in this episode: Why excess money can prevent teams from seeing and fixing real problems. How rushed, overfunded projects often abandon lean thinking and production systems. The connection between money, time, and other resources masking waste. Why solving problems without money builds better thinking and stronger systems. What Japanese craftsmanship and preservation reveal about waste and value. If money were no longer available as a quick fix, what problems on your projects would finally be forced into the open?

Do you ever feel like you're always “the responsible one,” “the fixer,” “the overthinker,” or “the good one” — and you can't turn it off?In this episode of The Restored Minds Show, licensed therapist Matt Codde, LCSW unpacks the idea of personas — the masks we learn to wear to feel safe, accepted, and in control. Matt explains how these roles are often deeply tied to OCD, anxiety, and panic loops, and why living from a persona instead of your true essence leaves you exhausted, resentful, and disconnected from yourself.If you've been stuck in overthinking, people-pleasing, or perfectionism and wondering why you still don't feel free, this episode will help you see what's really running the show — and how letting go of outdated personas can be a powerful step in your healing journey.

Melissa Dawn is a Master Certified Coach, bestselling author, and founder of CEO of Your Life. She guides retreats and executive leaders with this message: Lead with heart, not just strategy. Top 3 Value Bombs 1. Authentic leadership starts with self-awareness. Removing the masks we wear—like the 'coaching mask" or the' professional mask"—frees us to lead with impact and integrity. 2. Heart-centered leadership is a strategic advantage. Being transparent, vulnerable, and real drives performance, trust, and long-term retention. 3. Speaking with clarity and care builds connection. In today's purpose-driven workforce, treating people as people—not tasks—creates loyalty and momentum.
