Podcasts about Missing in action

On today's episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast: As deadly storms rip through the country and families plead for help, Donald Trump remains silent—and FEMA is missing in action. Meanwhile, the Trump-GOP tax scam is about to send the national deficit skyrocketing, and his administration is pretending it's not happening. We also cover the heartbreaking news of former President Biden's aggressive cancer diagnosis, and Trump's unhinged calls to investigate Beyoncé and other celebrities for supporting Kamala Harris. Plus, major defeats for Trump-style candidates abroad, a disturbing update on the Epstein files and Trump's FBI, new developments in the Russia-Ukraine war, and much more.

Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast.  I'm your host Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. Ever stare at your to-do list, waiting for that spark of motivation… and it never shows up? You're not alone - and there's nothing wrong with you. In this episode, we break down why motivation is unpredictable (and totally overrated), and what to do when it's missing in action.  With a mix of mindset reframes and simple action steps, you'll learn how to stop waiting for motivation and start building momentum - even on your most “meh” days. Topics Covered: ↠ Why waiting for motivation might be holding you back ↠ How to reframe your relationship with “low-energy” days ↠ How perfectionism kills momentum (and what to do instead)   PS.

All Bones Considered: Laurel Hill Stories #074, segment 3 CPT Alan Wood Lukens was variously reported as killed in action, missing in action, hospitalized at an unknown site in France, and possible prisoner of war. He had been killed in action in September, but it took the Lukens family until January to determine what had really happened to Allen. He was awarded a posthumous Distinguished Service Medal

This episode of Geared Up dives into the state of Apple Intelligence and the larger implications of Apple's AI strategy - but that's just the beginning. Jon Rettinger and Andru Edwards open with a passionate breakdown of why Apple’s long-awaited foray into AI has become one of its most disappointing product efforts to date. With features like Genmoji and writing assistance that feel underwhelming, and more ambitious tools like Siri’s personal context still missing in action, they argue Apple has lost its AI credibility, and possibly its lead in consumer trust. But that’s only part of the show. The conversation expands to a fascinating look at the latest iPhone 17 hardware leaks, including the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air and the controversial new visor design. What are the tradeoffs of a 5.5mm thick smartphone? Can Apple maintain battery life and camera quality in such a thin device? John and guest Quinn Nelson dissect what this design direction means, especially for power users and iPhone Max fans. Quinn also shares firsthand insights into the self-driving space with his deep dive into the Comma 3X - a DIY, open-source driving assistant that’s outperforming most built-in systems. He explains how it works, what it’s capable of, and why it represents a fascinating alternative to Tesla’s FSD. This isn’t just theoretical tech - he’s installed it in his Rivian and shares real-world results, strengths, and limitations. Rounding out the episode is an alternate history segment that explores a tantalizing what-if: what if Apple had bought Android in 2005? The discussion considers how mobile tech could have evolved, the role of Samsung, the collapse of competition, and the future of platform control. It’s a blend of speculation and strategy that will fascinate any student of tech history. If you care about smartphones, AI, autonomy, or the decisions that shape the tech industry, this episode packs all of it in. From present-day failures to future visions and speculative histories, it’s one of our most thought-provoking yet.Support the show: http://youtube.com/gearlive/joinSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Over my 20+ years in corporate leadership, I've seen what happens when smart, capable people stay stuck too long - and I don't want that to be you.So today, I'm walking you through 7 red flags that signal you're in a dead-end job, how to spot them before it's too late, and what to do if you recognize them in your current role.

The Tiffany Henyard saga gets even more absurd as FBI agents expand their investigation into Thornton Township. Just when you thought this circus was over, federal authorities are now questioning township employees about suspicious spending while the disgraced politician hands out unauthorized food boxes and skips meetings. Is anyone surprised that the woman who branded everything with her name can't even show up to do her job after losing elections in spectacular fashion?Watch as we break down the latest developments including the township brawl lawsuit, Henyard's missing-in-action status from both positions, and why her political career is essentially over. Will she face criminal charges despite the multiple federal investigations, or will 'Tahoe Tiff without the Tahoe' somehow escape consequences yet again?

Episode Summary: The Justice of Divine Balance (Pages 323-338)This chapter explores the importance of balance, letting go of what no longer serves, and trusting the natural flow of life. It invites us to examine how chasing external validation—such as success, approval, or control—can leave us feeling empty and disconnected, while aligning with truth, peace, humility, and authenticity brings clarity and fulfillment. We also explore how change and loss, though difficult, can be pathways to freedom. This offering provides guidance on how to navigate transitions, including global energetic shifts, with grace, surrender, and purpose.Key Themes:* Balance is achieved by releasing attachments and trusting life's natural flow.* External pursuits—success, status, control—often lead to disillusionment and imbalance.* True fulfillment arises from inner peace, humility, and authenticity.* Loss is not punishment; it is often a necessary step for realignment and growth.* The world's energetic shifts require us to embrace change with trust rather than resistance.The Illusion of Fulfillment Through External MeansMany of us believe that something outside of ourselves will provide the fulfillment we seek. Yet, when we focus on lack or fixate on what “should” be instead of what is, we create a false sense of separation.* Real happiness does not come from external success. As the book states, “You may hit the bull's-eye on sex, money, and power, but focusing on such targets leaves your authentic self missing in action.”* When we chase validation, status, or material wealth, we often feel unfulfilled, even when we achieve those goals.* True peace does not come from accumulating more or achieving perfection—it comes from accepting ourselves as we are.* Freedom begins when we release the part of ourselves that constantly seeks and desires without ever feeling satisfied.The Archery Metaphor: Aiming for the Right TargetsThe book uses archery as a metaphor for life, illustrating how we often aim at the wrong targets:* Many people rush toward lofty goals before they have built the foundation necessary to hold steady. As the text says, “Your minds love to race to Olympic Archery distances before you have even effectively learned the discipline and work required to hold a bow.”* Chasing external success can feel like hitting a target—only to realize it wasn't the one that truly mattered.* Instead, we are encouraged to:* Refocus our aim—targeting what brings real peace and connection.* Adjust expectations—understanding that transformation requires patience and alignment.* Release the illusion of perfection—embracing authenticity over unattainable ideals.* As the book states, “The more honest you are, the more balanced your bow, the more open your soul's eye, through accepting what you are designed to be, hitting the mark will be effortless.”The Necessity of Release and RenewalPeriods of loss and transformation are necessary for growth:* Without release, imbalance occurs.* Loss is not punishment; it is often a divine realignment.* Letting go allows for expansion and greater clarity.* Examples of how loss can lead to liberation:* Losing a job can open doors to a more meaningful path.* The end of a relationship can lead to deeper self-discovery.* Releasing outdated beliefs allows for new perspectives and growth.Rather than resisting loss, we are invited to see it as a doorway to something new. As the book states, “An opportunity for reevaluation, refinement, restoration, and simplification.” Less can often be more.The Earth's Energetic Shift and Our Role in ItWe are in a time of global energetic rebalancing. The Earth itself is evolving, and we must evolve with her:* The Earth's frequency is shifting, requiring a collective realignment.* Many current struggles—exhaustion, anxiety, disconnection—stem from being out of sync with natural rhythms.* Synchronizing with the Earth's cycles brings clarity and well-being.* As the planet undergoes shifts, natural events will mirror these changes, reflecting necessary realignments.To navigate this shift, we are encouraged to:* Honor our bodies—resting, nourishing, and attuning to our needs.* Release unnecessary consumption—creating spaciousness rather than filling every moment.* Trust life's cycles—understanding that every transition has purpose.There are two choices:* Fight and resist change, creating struggle.* Surrender, adapt, and trust the unfolding process.We are reminded that this is not a passive process. Growth requires participation. The less resistance, the faster clarity arrives.Choosing Peace in a Changing WorldDespite external turmoil, peace is the underlying force driving this shift:* The current era is moving toward transparency and alignment, though resistance remains.* Those in power—whether in external systems or within our own ego—will struggle to maintain control.* The collective will reach a point of oversaturation with dissonance, leading to a greater desire for unity.Yet, we can choose the path of peace now:* Be a light-holder, guiding others toward a new way of being.* Embrace simplicity and authenticity—animals, elders, and children are examples of this.* Recognize that true balance means living for oneself without imposing on others.As the text says, “There is such strength in allowing and be-ing just as you are. When you can allow yourself to just be… you create space for fulfillment, service, and joy.”The Nothing Prayer: A Gateway to EverythingThe chapter concludes with The Nothing Prayer, a powerful tool for restoring simplicity and balance. As recommended in the book, this prayer shifts focus from external chaos to inner stillness, liberating us from attachments and desires.“I have nothing. I want nothing. I will be brought what I need…”Reciting this prayer often is a practice in surrender and trust.Key TakeawayThe world is shifting, and we are invited to shift with it. Balance is not found in control or accumulation but in trust, surrender, and alignment with our true nature.Reflection:What are you holding onto that no longer serves you? How can you embrace release as a path to deeper peace?Next Steps: Read & Listen

Episode four has arrived and Fei is missing in action! Perhaps she journeyed to Rhuidean herself, but no worries. Garrett and Adam break down this episode, start to finish. Our first episode this season focused on a single plot brings many thoughts from the boys, including a WTF Rafe segment with a theme we've heard all too often. Let's hope it doesn't have the same result before season's end.

Sgt. Itay Chen was taken captive by Hamas on October 7. The IDF believes he is dead—but his family is still holding out hope.Ever since Itay was declared Missing in Action, Ruby and Chagit Chen—and the Chen family—have tirelessly fought to bring him home. Ruby and Itay are American citizens, so they hoped that would play to their advantage. In March of 2024, the IDF declared that Itay was killed on Oct. 7 and his body is being held by Hamas.Itay's family has chosen not to sit shiva until his body is returned from the Strip for burial. They are still holding out hope—however slim, or grim—that Itay's fate is different than the army believes. That he will return home alive.Ruby joins us to speak about his family's reality over the last 500-plus days—fighting for Itay while continuing their lives, working with US administrations, and ensuring he is not forgotten.This interview was held on March 12.#BringItayHome on SocialMediaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@itaychenInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/bring_itay_homeFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61561269004170For more 18Forty:NEWSLETTER: 18forty.org/joinCALL: (212) 582-1840EMAIL: info@18forty.orgWEBSITE: 18forty.orgIG: @18fortyX: @18_forty

Over the past near-century, Academy Award categories have come and gone. In the silent film era there was an award for Best Title Writing. You know, the written cards that summarized the “dialogue”? Oscar worthy. This year's 96th Academy Awards broadcast saw Oscars handed out in a whopping 23 different categories, from the big wins like Best Picture, to awards for behind-the-scenes expertise in costuming and score. But one group of people thinks there should be yet another added to that list: best stunts. Stunt actors are real life action heroes behind the biggest movies, but it's unlikely we know their names and faces, at least not if they're doing their jobs right. They risk life and limb to bring films to life. The chariot race in Ben-Hur? The entire Fast and Furious franchise? None of them would be possible without stunt coordinators and performers. On this week's Storylines, Joan Webber tells the story of a decades-long effort to get stunt workers their Oscar due.Produced by Joan Webber. Story editing by Julia Pagel.  This documentary first aired on Storylines back in April of 2024.Storylines is part of the CBC Audio Doc Unit

And the losers will be the world's poorest people - the money for Britain's boosted defence budget will come from foreign aid. Sir Ed Davey - leader of the Lib Dems - tells Coco he has an alternative: bigger taxes on big tech (and some other ideas).

We've had several emails lately enquiring about Jim Byrne's future plans. He was missing in action for the latter half of 2024 and has been relatively quiet since returning to the saddle. We haven't had Jim on the podcast for close to five years. The time is right to catch up with one of Queensland's best ever jockeys. Jim begins by talking about Michael Cahill's recent farewell meeting on the Gold Coast, but makes it clear he's not yet ready to follow suit. He talks of his departure from the riding ranks in late 2023, a break he was badly needing. Jim says he was relatively injury free for the first half of his long riding career. He says most of his troubles began in 2019 when he was dislodged from a young horse after a track gallop.  He says he was unaware of the extent of the damage. It was two weeks later when he virtually lost the use of his right arm during a two year old race at Eagle Farm. Jim admits to being a very bad patient during long injury layoffs. The champion jockey recalls the wonderful trot he was enjoying in late 2019 when involved in a freakish fall after passing the post at Doomben. More surgery followed. He was barely back in the saddle when he came down with a golden staph infection in one elbow. He also needed minor surgery when one of the screws holding a knee plate suddenly slipped out of alignment. Jim finally got on a trouble free run and the winners were flowing again. He was lucky enough to form an association with the brilliant Rothfire. His five wins on the horse included the Gr 1 J.J Atkins. Around the same time Byrne teamed up with the brilliant Apache Chase. One of his six wins on the horse came in the Gr 1 Kingsford Smith Cup. The jockey was especially thrilled to win the feature race for longtime supporter Desleigh Forster. The veteran jockey talks of his apprenticeship to the highly respected Pat Duff whose recent passing saddened the Queensland racing industry. Jim hasn't forgotten the name of his first winner at Beaudesert but the trainer's name has slipped his memory. He talks of his first ever metropolitan win on the Noel Doyle trained White Hope. Jim has no doubt a win in the Gr 3 Lightning Hcp at Eagle Farm was the one to bring him under notice as an emerging talent. He delights in reflecting on his 13 rides on the Newcastle trained Adam, the first of them resulting in a narrow defeat in the Doomben $10,000. He looks back on his homestretch duel with Michael Pelling on Laurie's Lottery. He even threw in a protest. The jockey pays tribute to Adam's trainer Ray Brock. Jim then looks back on his first Gr 1 win- a thrilling Stradbroke victory on Adam. He remembers a Sydney Gr 2 win on the genuine stallion and several placings in elite company. Jim looks back on a brief association with brilliant grey filly Gold Edition. The daughter of Lion Hunter gave the jockey two wins at Flemington during Melbourne Cup week in 2006.  He looks back on a surprise “pick up” ride in 2008 which gave him an unexpected win in the time honoured Queensland Derby. Jim was often a “go-to” jockey for interstate trainers taking horses to the Brisbane winter carnival. He remembers with affection a brief but exciting partnership with Redzel which produced an all the way win in the Doomben $10,000. He talks of a Ramornie Hcp win at Grafton for the Snowden stable.  Jim has fond memories of a Gr 2 Hill Stakes win on Desert War for the Waterhouse stable. The ace rider reflects on his association with the dynamic sprinter General Nediym. He says the horse was probably past his best, but still very effective at the top level. Jim has been quietly planning his life after racing for several years. He and wife Rhamie are developing a very workable saddlery shop in the basement of their Brisbane home. Rhamie is emerging as a Group 1 seamstress. The veteran jockey pays a much deserved tribute to his wife of 30 years.  Jim brings us up to date with the  current progress of his four kids, Corey, Georgia, Madison and Lachlan. Jim Byrne has a legion of fans in the Sunshine State. They'll be delighted to hear from the four time Brisbane premiership winner.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWIs U.S. democracy under threat from within? Join me, Jeff Alan Wolf, on "A World Gone Mad," as I critically examine Vice President JD Vance's alarming remarks at the Munich Security Conference, where he appears to downplay the Russian threat and criticize European allies. I voice my outrage and concern over his allegiance to Trump and potentially, by extension, Putin, while spotlighting Lindsey Graham's surprising stance on Ukraine. The episode calls for a strong U.S. alliance with President Zelensky and emphasizes the necessity of his involvement in any talks concerning Ukraine's future, challenging Trump's controversial suggestion of sidelining Zelensky. This discussion is a call to action for Republicans to prioritize democracy over party loyalty and for the mainstream media to hold them accountable.As President's Day approaches, a grassroots movement is gearing up for a nationwide anti-Trump demonstration, with the rallying cry of "50 protests, 50 states, one day," aimed at resisting what some see as a Trump-Musk coup. This episode highlights the significance of these protests and encourages listeners to participate, strategize, and share their experiences under hashtags like #BuildTheResistance and #50501. A reminder of the power of collective action, the episode calls for solidarity, strategic planning, and self-care among participants. Tune in for more insights and stay informed as I navigate these turbulent political waters.AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

Episode #310: Mike shares an in-depth look at the Burma Front during World War II, emphasizing the forgotten contributions of Merrill's Marauders, a U.S. long-range penetration unit tasked with seizing the Myitkyina airfield. The airfield was crucial in maintaining Allied supply lines, but the mission was grueling, with only 130 out of 2,750 soldiers remaining combat-fit by the end.In 1995, Mike accompanied veterans on an emotional return to Burma to revisit wartime locations, including Myitkyina. But the trip was marred by strict military oversight from the Burmese junta, who attempted to co-opt the visit for their own propaganda purposes. Nevertheless, the veterans succeeded in reconnecting with key sites and honoring their fallen comrades, and recovering the remains of U.S. servicemen missing in action, which was complicated by sensitive political barriers, but resolved through the involvement of Senator John McCain.The discussion also delves into Mike's spiritual journey with Burmese mysticism, particularly the weikza tradition, which blends meditation and supernatural beliefs. Mike describes how this practice influenced his perspective on Burma, helping him understand its complexities through both historical and spiritual lenses. He came to believe that he had been a member of the Ta'ang ethnic group in a past life, deepening his connection to Burma's cultural heritage."The thing is, see things as they really are, and then act with skillful action," Mike says, urging listeners to strip away biases and conditioned perspectives to truly understand Burma's complex realities. "Stop it! You have colored glasses on through a conditioned mind, and you're making wrong decisions about Burma and everything else, and what is Myanmar, and so we have to do is clear that conditioned mind and see things as we are and deal with things right there."

Lunar New Year. Kansas Day....   ....and we can't forget about Wichita Dinner Table night.   This week, we have the Tyler York with Wichita Area Builders Association joining the fray.   Along with Tyler, we have some awesome shoutouts this week, news taking place in the community and an LL Truth from Live Local.   Grab a seat with Troy, DJ Carbon, Annette Lawless and me as we have some fun at the table. Missing in action for the first time is The Kansas Gastronomist who, we believe, might be taking the night off at Olive Garden.

Breakdown has been broken down for a minute now - and I go into why. It's not all bad news! I promise.

First up on today's wide-ranging show, Ralph speaks to political scientist Adolph Reed about how American politics has started taking its cues from professional wrestling and how the left can rebuild itself. Then, we welcome Steve Silberstein from National Popular Vote to update us on their interstate compact's progress. Finally, we're joined by three interns from the American Museum of Tort Law—Dylan Bird, Gabriel Duffany, and Rachel Donovan discuss a rather unique summer assignment.Adolph Reed is Professor Emeritus of political science at the University of Pennsylvania and an organizer with the Debs-Jones-Douglass Institute's Medicare for All-South Carolina initiative, and co-host of Class Matters Podcast. His most recent books are The South: Jim Crow and Its Afterlives and (with Walter Benn Michaels) No Politics but Class Politics.One of the things that struck me, especially, is during the pandemic it was striking to see how much full-blown animus toward government— or toward the idea of public and public goods—that there is out there in society at large. And we know Heritage (and the rest of the reactionary, the Koch brothers) have been fueling that and stoking that kind of resentment for as long as they've been around, frankly, right…But what's different is that since the Clinton years, the Democrats have been just as likely to attack the idea of government or public goods and public services, right? And they're more likely to do it backhandedly…So there hasn't been any space for people to connect even the fact that they like to go to the public library or like to use the public park with this bipartisan, full-bore attack on the idea of government. And that has gone so far and so deeply within society.Adolph ReedSteve Silberstein founded and served as the first president of Innovative Interfaces Inc., a leading supplier of computer software for the automation of college and city libraries. Mr. Silberstein sold his interest in the company in 2001 and now devotes his time to philanthropic and civic matters, one of which is sitting on the Board of Directors of National Popular Vote.Of the states that have passed [the National Popular Vote compact], it's mostly been with Democratic votes. Because for a while there's been a theory that Republicans couldn't win the national popular vote. That's why they opposed it. But now that they have actually won the popular vote this time around, that theory which caused some of them to oppose it has gone by the wayside.Steve SilbersteinThere's no reason for [Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan being “swing states”]. You know, those states didn't even exist when the constitution was established. It's just purely an accident…Those states are not typical of the United States—each state is unique in some way. So, Wisconsin has a big dairy industry. Pennsylvania has coal mining or fracking or something like that. So the candidates just concentrate on those—what are really very obscure issues to most of the people in the country. These states are not typical. They are not representative in any way shape or form of the rest of the country.Steve SilbersteinDylan Bird is a sophomore at St Lawrence University, pursuing a double major in Global Studies and Spanish on a Pre Law Track. Gabriel Duffany is a sophomore at the University of Connecticut, pursuing a double major in Human Rights and Communication also on a Pre Law Track, and he is an intern at the American Museum of Tort Law. Rachel Donovan is the Outreach Coordinator at the American Museum of Tort Law, and she is pursuing studies in education. All three recently worked as summer interns at the American Museum of Tort Law in the VoxBox Civic Engagement Summer Course, and they participated in Ralph Nader's Dictionary Pilot.It's a very daunting task when somebody hands you a full dictionary—over a thousand pages or so—and asks you to read it front-to-back. Once you start to actually sink your teeth into it…I actually found it to be a very positive experience. Rather than simply looking up individual words and ending your journey there, the goal really becomes the exploration of knowledge.Dylan BirdFor me, what really did stand out wasn't the individual words. It was more so the process of defining that I found the most compelling. So it showed up to me in the linguistic sense that these aren't exact definitions here. They're more so measurements, gauges of people's public opinions and definitions that would shift over time. So it was interesting to see how the evolution of words came, how meanings evolved over time with new technologies, new cultural moments. And as a news writer, I found that fascinating—the complexities of a word, the connotations that go with it, they can make or break the framing of any certain topic.Gabriel DuffanyI think that this project could be very important for students of all ages because it's not often that you would use a physical dictionary very much anymore—versus just going online and looking up a word. And now multiple definitions could come up—you may not even find exactly what you're looking for, because words undergo new meanings on a near-daily basis. And I think having the chance to read the original definition may give students new meanings to words that they may have thought they had the knowledge of due to social media.Rachel DonovanNews 12/25/241. On December 19th, the Teamsters announced they would launch “the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history.” This strike covers nearly 10,000 Amazon workers who have joined the Teamsters, with workers taking to the picket line in New York City Atlanta, Southern California, San Francisco and Skokie, Illinois. Teamsters President Sean O'Brien is quoted saying “If your package is delayed during the holidays, you can blame Amazon's insatiable greed. We gave Amazon a clear deadline to come to the table and do right by our members. They ignored it…This strike is on them.” Scenes from this strike went viral over the holidays; one video posted by Labor Notes journalist Luis Feliz Leon shows NYPD officers guarding a path for Amazon trucks to depart after clearing away a blockade by striking workers – in case you were wondering whose side the cops are on.2. In more Amazon union news, INDY Week's Lena Geller reports that on December 23rd Amazon workers filed for a union election at the RDU1 warehouse in Garner, North Carolina. These workers are organizing under the auspices of Carolina Amazonians for Solidarity and Empowerment, aka CAUSE, which states that “despite an illegal campaign of intimidation by Amazon, which is desperate to keep unions out to continue paying poverty wages and failing to improve dismal work conditions,” the union believes they have “easily” exceeded the 30% card check threshold to demand an election. If successful, RDU1 would become the first unionized Amazon facility in the South.3. Independent investigative journalists Ken Klippenstein and Dan Boguslaw are out with a report on a potential conflict of interest in the Luigi Mangione prosecution. Apparently, “Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker, who is overseeing pre-trial hearings for…Mangione, is married to a former Pfizer executive.” Judge Parker's husband, Bret Parker, had served as Vice President and assistant general counsel at Wyeth, and held the same titles after that company was purchased by Pfizer. According to financial disclosures, Mr. Parker still collects a pension from Pfizer in the form of a “Senior Executive Retirement Plan.” The Parkers also own hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of stock in Pfizer itself, along with other pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and healthcare companies. These holdings raise grave questions about the impartiality of this judge.4. In more news from New York, Gothamist reports New York Governor Kathy Hochul has vetoed a bill which would have “reversed New York's longstanding ban on jury service for anyone convicted of felonies at any point in their lives. If enacted, the bill would have allowed people with felony convictions to serve only after completing their sentences, including parole.” This bill passed with the support of the New York Civil Liberties Union and Phil Desgranges, an attorney at The Legal Aid Society, called this bill “common-sense legislation.” State Senator Jabari Brisport wrote “Fun fact about [New York] politics. The Governor has until end of year to sign bills so she usually waits until [the] holiday season and vetoes a bunch right before Christmas, hoping no one notices.” The Gothamist piece notes that Hochul vetoed 132 bills over the weekend.5. Turning to Israel, a remarkable story in unfolding around the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. According to Democracy Now!, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is planning to skip the anniversary “out of fears he might be arrested for committing war crimes in Gaza.” As we have documented on this program, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his former defense minister Yoav Gallant in November, and since then various countries have grappled with their obligations under international law to arrest the pair. While certain ICC signatory nations like Germany and France have sought to weasel out of these commitments, according to this report, “Poland's deputy foreign minister recently confirmed Poland would comply with the ICC arrest warrants if Netanyahu visited.”6. On the domestic front, newly elected Congressional Progressive Caucus chair Greg Casar has sent a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin demanding that the Biden administration withhold new transfers of offensive weaponry to the Israeli military. In this letter, he and other progressive members of Congress make clear that the administration itself has “correctly identified steps the Israeli government must take in order for continued transfers…to be in accordance with U.S. law,” and that “the Israeli government has failed to take sufficient action or change course.” This letter is signed by 20 members of Congress including Casar himself along with Summer Lee, James McGovern, Mark Pocan, Pramila Jayapal, Sara Jacobs, AOC, Rashida Tlaib, and others.7. In a stunning story picked up by POLITICO, Republican Congresswoman Kay Granger – chair of the critical House Appropriations Committee until last April – has been missing in action for months. Despite continuing to hold her Texas seat, she has not cast a vote at all since July. Calls to her office went unanswered and unreturned. Visits to her office found it vacant. And when investigative reporters sought her out, they wound up finding her in an assisted living facility wracked with dementia. This story is tragic; Granger's son has spoken out since publication, addressing how rapidly his mother's mental decline has progressed. Yet, this is just the most striking example of the gerontocracy that has gripped Capitol Hill. And at least Granger had the sense remaining to recuse herself from votes; rebellious Republican Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky is quoted saying he's “more concerned about the congressmen who have dementia and are still voting.”8. Moving to some good news, the Federal Trade Commission announced last week that they, along with the Attorney General of Illinois, have reached a $25 million settlement with food delivery giant GrubHub, stemming from the firm's engagement in “an array of unlawful practices including deceiving diners about delivery costs and blocking their access to their accounts and funds, deceiving workers about how much money they would make delivering food, and unfairly and deceptively listing restaurants on its platform without their permission.” In addition to the monetary penalty, the company must make significant changes to its operations model, including “telling consumers the full cost of delivery, honestly advertising pay for drivers, and listing restaurants on its platform only with their consent.” This is a victory for consumers, workers, restaurants, but perhaps above all, the rule of law. As FTC Chair Lina Khan puts it “There is no ‘gig platform' exemption to the laws on the books.”9. On December 23rd, President Biden announced that he would commute the death sentences for 37 out of the 40 federal prisoners on death row, in a major victory for ending executions by the state. These sentences have been commuted to life in prison without the possibility of parole. In a statement, Biden wrote “I've dedicated my career to reducing violent crime and ensuring a fair and effective justice system…Make no mistake: I condemn these murderers, grieve for the victims of their despicable acts, and ache for all the families who have suffered unimaginable and irreparable loss. But… I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level.” He ends this statement by alluding to the fact that as president he has imposed a moratorium on federal executions and fears that the incoming Trump administration will resume state-sponsored killings. Per AP, the three inmates whose sentences were not commuted are: Dylann Roof, the Mother Emanuel AME Church shooter, Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, and Tree of Life Synagogue shooter Robert Bowers.10. Finally, on Christmas Eve, Bernie Sanders issued a statement laying out “How to Make America Healthy Again,” echoing the language used by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Under Bernie's plan, this initiative would include Medicare for All, lowering the cost of prescription drugs, paid family and medical leave, a 32-hour work week, raising the minimum wage, and reforms to the food industry itself, such as banning junk food ads and stronger warning labels on high-sugar products. As with Bernie's qualified embrace of the “Department of Government Efficiency” this should be seen as a savvy move to call the Trump team's bluff. Will they really go after big sugar? Or will they bend the knee to their corporate benefactors yet again?This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.
