This Day in Legal History: Harry Blackmun Confirmed to SCOTUSOn May 12, 1970, the U.S. Senate unanimously confirmed Judge Harry A. Blackmun to the Supreme Court, filling the vacancy left by Justice Abe Fortas. Nominated by President Richard Nixon, Blackmun had previously served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit and was considered a moderate, scholarly jurist. His confirmation marked the culmination of a tumultuous series of failed nominations for the seat, including two rejections by the Senate, making Blackmun's 94–0 approval a moment of bipartisan relief.Blackmun would go on to serve nearly a quarter-century on the Court, authoring over 700 opinions. He is perhaps best known for writing the majority opinion in Roe v. Wade (1973), which recognized a constitutional right to abortion. The decision would shape political and legal debates for decades and define Blackmun's legacy, despite his broader jurisprudential contributions. Over time, he evolved from a judicial centrist to one of the Court's more liberal voices, especially on issues of individual rights and the death penalty.After retiring in 1994, Blackmun remained active in legal education and public service until his death in 1999. The Library of Congress released his extensive papers in 2004, providing scholars with a revealing look into the internal workings of the Court during his tenure. His former clerks, some of whom became influential legal figures themselves, publicly remembered him for his deep humanity and commitment to justice. Blackmun's confirmation anniversary serves as a reminder of how judicial legacies can transcend the expectations of those who appoint them.U.S. District Judge Susan Illston issued a temporary 14-day halt on the Trump administration's federal government restructuring plan, citing a lack of congressional authorization for mass layoffs and agency overhauls. The order came in response to a lawsuit filed by unions, nonprofits, and local governments opposing the large-scale “reductions in force” initiated by the Department of Government Efficiency (DGE), led by Elon Musk. Judge Illston emphasized that the president cannot broadly restructure federal agencies without clear approval from Congress. The plaintiffs submitted extensive evidence showing critical services being disrupted, including nearly complete staff terminations at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in Pittsburgh. Similar losses were reported at Head Start, the Farm Service Agency, and the Social Security Administration. Illston found the plaintiffs likely to succeed on the merits of several claims, including violations of administrative law and overreach by DGE, the Office of Management and Budget, and the Office of Personnel Management. The administration's efforts, ordered in February by Trump, aim to automate services, eliminate redundant roles, and reduce federal personnel. Critics argue the changes are destabilizing and harmful to community services. Illston's ruling aims to preserve the status quo while legal challenges proceed, with a hearing on a potential preliminary injunction scheduled for May 22.Judge orders temporary halt to Trump administration's government overhaul | ReutersRumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish PhD student at Tufts University, returned to Massachusetts after being held for over six weeks in U.S. immigration custody in Louisiana. Her arrest stemmed from a revoked student visa, which the government linked to an opinion piece she co-wrote criticizing Tufts University's response to the war in Gaza and urging divestment from companies tied to Israel. Ozturk was apprehended by masked officers in Somerville, Massachusetts, and was quickly transferred from Vermont to a detention facility in Louisiana. Her legal team, including the ACLU, argued her detention was a retaliatory act against constitutionally protected speech, aimed at silencing pro-Palestinian voices on campus.U.S. District Judge William Sessions granted her release after determining she had strong grounds for claiming her constitutional rights were violated. Upon arrival at Logan International Airport, Ozturk expressed relief and gratitude, thanking supporters and calling attention to other detained women. Representative Ayanna Pressley condemned the detention as a politically motivated act of intimidation, citing inhumane conditions and medical neglect during Ozturk's confinement. The case has drawn national attention amid broader efforts by the Trump administration to deport campus activists engaged in pro-Palestinian advocacy.Tufts student returns to Massachusetts after release from immigration custody | ReutersOver the weekend Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested and charged with trespassing at the Delaney Hall immigration detention center in New Jersey during an unannounced visit by three Democratic members of Congress. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents detained Baraka after a scuffle at the facility's gate while a bus of detainees was arriving. Representatives Bonnie Watson Coleman, LaMonica McIver, and Robert Menendez Jr. were also present and said to have been jostled during the confrontation. According to ICE and the Department of Homeland Security, the group's uncoordinated attempt to enter the site was unsafe and politically motivated.Baraka, who is campaigning for governor, stated after his release that he was there to support the lawmakers and did not cross into restricted areas. His supporters and congressional aides claim he remained outside the facility's fence and that ICE exaggerated the incident. DHS accused the group of endangering detainees and law enforcement, while the lawmakers insisted they were exercising lawful oversight powers. The detention center, operated by the GEO Group, has faced criticism from immigrant rights advocates for allegedly lacking local permits and operating against community wishes. The controversy has become entangled in Baraka's gubernatorial campaign, spotlighting tensions over immigration policy and the role of private detention facilities.New Jersey mayor charged with trespassing at US immigration detention center | ReutersPresident Donald Trump announced plans to slash U.S. prescription drug prices to match the lowest prices found internationally, prompting a global selloff in pharmaceutical stocks. In a post touting cuts of “59%, PLUS!,” Trump previewed an executive order mandating a “most-favored nation” pricing rule. This would require that Americans pay no more than citizens in the cheapest country for the same medication—a move that starkly contradicts the administration's prior market-driven rhetoric, now seemingly embracing a form of price fixing. Investors, analysts, and drugmakers scrambled to assess the implications, especially since Medicare and Medicaid represent a major share—around 40%—of U.S. drug spending.The proposed pricing shift offers manufacturers two theoretical paths to comply: lower U.S. drug prices to align with cheaper countries like France or Japan, or raise prices overseas to maintain U.S. revenue levels. It remains unclear which route companies will choose, but economic incentives suggest they'll resist U.S. price drops by inflating foreign costs instead. Trump framed the move as restoring fairness to American consumers, whom he described as having long subsidized global drug development. The executive order follows a prior, unsuccessful attempt during his first term to peg Medicare prices to international benchmarks—a plan struck down in court for procedural flaws.The Inflation Reduction Act already initiated drug price negotiations under President Biden, but Trump's new approach could broaden the scope or accelerate the effort. However, legal and legislative obstacles remain, especially since the administration cannot set prices for the commercial market without congressional support. Analysts are watching closely for whether the policy targets just Medicare, specific drug types, or a wider range. Meanwhile, critics note the contradiction in Trump's newfound support for a centralized pricing strategy after years of decrying government interference in markets.Trump Vows US Drug Price Cuts of Up to 80% in Industry Blow (2) This is a public episode.

* Pakistan launches retaliatory military operation against India Pakistan has launched 'Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos' in retaliation against India, targeting military sites in Beas and destroying an S-400 missile defence system, according to state broadcaster PTV. The strikes come after India allegedly attacked Pakistani territory, prompting Islamabad to respond with what it calls a “solid structure” of defence. India condemned the strikes, labelling them as a "blatant violation of sovereignty" and vowed to counter any further aggression. * UN: 70% of Gaza under Israeli military orders or militarised zones The UN says 70% of Gaza is now either under Israeli military control or displacement orders, severely hampering humanitarian efforts. UN spokesperson Farhan Haq criticised Israeli authorities for blocking repairs to a damaged fibre optic cable vital for communication in the region. Despite recent attempts to access fuel supplies in Rafah, the UN reports continued challenges in securing critical resources for humanitarian work. * Turkish FM Fidan: 'I was poisoned in assassination attempt' Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has revealed he was targeted in an assassination attempt involving arsenic and mercury poisoning five years ago. Speaking on 24 TV, Fidan said he was exposed to high levels of the toxic metals in a plot he linked to terrorist groups. The former intelligence chief also accused opposition parties of using information from criminal networks to undermine him, calling it a "dangerous path". * 80% tariff on Chinese goods 'seems right': Trump US President Trump has endorsed an 80% tariff on Chinese goods ahead of key trade talks in Switzerland, saying it "seems right" in a Truth Social post. Trump has already raised tariffs to 145% on Chinese imports, escalating tensions with Beijing, which has retaliated with its own levies on US goods. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is set to meet China's economic chief He Lifeng, as both sides attempt to resolve the trade standoff. *Turkish student Rumeysa Ozturk released on bail in US A US federal judge has ordered the release of Turkish PhD student Rumeysa Ozturk, who was detained for co-authoring an op-ed on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the school's student newspaper. The judge ruled Ozturk posed no flight risk and lifted travel restrictions, allowing her to return to Massachusetts. Ozturk, a doctoral student at Tufts University, had been held by immigration authorities for over six weeks.

This Day in Legal History: House Judiciary Committee Impeachment Hearings on NixonOn May 9, 1974, the House Judiciary Committee officially opened its impeachment hearings against President Richard Nixon, marking a critical escalation in the fallout from the Watergate scandal. Chaired by Representative Peter Rodino of New Jersey, the committee convened to determine whether Nixon had committed impeachable offenses in connection with the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters and the subsequent cover-up. The hearings were a culmination of mounting political and public pressure following revelations from investigative journalism, court proceedings, and the Senate Watergate Committee.The proceedings were televised, drawing intense national attention as Americans witnessed, in real time, a constitutional reckoning with executive misconduct. Over several weeks, the committee heard testimony and reviewed evidence, including the now-infamous White House tapes that revealed Nixon's attempts to obstruct justice. The hearings underscored the seriousness of Congress's oversight powers and the weight of constitutional accountability.On July 30, 1974, the committee approved three articles of impeachment against Nixon—obstruction of justice, abuse of power, and contempt of Congress. These charges reflected a broad consensus that Nixon had violated his oath of office and undermined democratic institutions. Faced with certain impeachment in the House and likely conviction in the Senate, Nixon resigned on August 8, 1974, becoming the only U.S. president to do so.Chairman Rodino, a previously low-profile legislator, rose to national prominence for his steady leadership during the crisis. His role in navigating the deeply partisan and constitutionally fraught process earned bipartisan respect. Rodino continued to serve in Congress until 1989 and passed away in 2005 at the age of 95.David Souter, a former U.S. Supreme Court Justice appointed by President George H.W. Bush, died at age 85 at his home in New Hampshire. Though expected to be a reliable conservative, Souter surprised many by siding with the Court's liberal wing on major issues, including abortion rights, separation of church and state, and gay rights. He co-authored the pivotal 1992 opinion that upheld Roe v. Wade, warning that overturning it would damage the Court's legitimacy—a view later overruled by a more conservative bench. Souter also opposed the death penalty in cases involving intellectual disability and supported judicial limits on executive and legislative overreach.His 19-year tenure was marked by independence and restraint, and he became a symbol of the unpredictability of judicial behavior. Critics on the right, angered by his rulings, coined the phrase “no more Souters,” prompting future Republican administrations to more rigorously vet nominees. Souter dissented in the controversial Bush v. Gore case and opposed school vouchers and government endorsement of religion, including public prayer and Ten Commandments displays. He played a quiet but significant role in defending detainee rights during the post-9/11 legal battles.A New England native and Rhodes Scholar, Souter was known for his minimalist lifestyle, distaste for technology, and preference for solitude. He never married, avoided Washington society, and retired early to return to a quiet life in New Hampshire, where he pursued historical scholarship and occasional judicial service.David Souter, Bush Supreme Court Pick Who Joined Liberals, DiesFormer US Supreme Court Justice Souter dies, court says | ReutersIn his ongoing quest to staff the government with people he's seen on cable news, Donald Trump has named Fox News host Jeanine Pirro as acting U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia—the nation's top prosecutor in its most politically sensitive jurisdiction. Pirro, a former New York district attorney better known recently for her TV courtroom theatrics and 2020 election denialism, replaces controversial pick Ed Martin, who was pulled after Senate Republicans raised eyebrows about, among other things, his unapologetic defense of Jan. 6 rioters.Announcing the switch on Truth Social, Trump hailed Pirro as “incredibly well qualified,” citing her time as a prosecutor—though most Americans probably know her from The Five, not from the courthouse. Pirro's name, notably, appeared in Dominion Voting Systems' defamation lawsuit over 2020 election falsehoods—a suit Fox settled for $787.5 million. But hey, if you're a regular on his favorite network and say nice things about him, that's apparently the gold standard.Martin, meanwhile, didn't exactly get benched. Trump reassigned him to be pardon attorney, associate deputy attorney general, and head of a new “Weaponization Working Group,” which seems tailor-made to investigate Trump's political enemies under the guise of justice reform.Pirro joins a growing list of Trump-era appointees whose primary qualifications include screen time on Fox News. With Pete Hegseth and Sean Duffy already in the administration, it's clear the only law school that matters to Trump is the University of Primetime Opinion.Fox Host Jeanine Pirro Tapped as Top Acting D.C. Prosecutor (2)A federal judge in Vermont will hold a bail hearing Friday for Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish doctoral student at Tufts University, who's been held in immigration detention for over six weeks. Rather than wait for the Trump administration to comply with an earlier court order to bring her back to Vermont from Louisiana, Judge William Sessions ruled she can appear remotely. Ozturk was arrested in Massachusetts in March, shortly after co-authoring a pro-Palestinian op-ed in the campus newspaper—a move her lawyers argue triggered her detention.The case has become a flashpoint in Trump's push to deport pro-Palestinian activists, particularly those affiliated with U.S. universities. After being shuffled between states, Ozturk's lawyers challenged her ongoing detention as unlawful, especially since she was in Vermont when her legal challenge began. The 2nd Circuit had just granted the administration an extension to transfer her by May 14, but Ozturk's legal team argued that waiting another week could worsen her health, citing a series of escalating asthma attacks in custody.The government protested that Friday's hearing might conflict with the appeals court's timeline, but the judge seemed more persuaded by the urgency of Ozturk's condition. Her lawyers, including those from the ACLU, say the delay is unnecessary and harmful.US judge to weigh releasing detained Tufts student on Friday | ReutersThis week's closing theme takes us back to the vibrant world of North German Baroque with a short, spirited gem from Dietrich Buxtehude—Canzonetta in C major, BuxWV 225. Buxtehude, who died on May 9, 1707, was one of the most influential organists and composers of his time, best known today for the impact he had on the young J.S. Bach, who famously walked over 250 miles to Lübeck just to hear him play. Though much of Buxtehude's output was liturgical or improvisatory in nature, the Canzonetta is a delightful exception—playful, nimble, and full of personality.Written for keyboard, this short piece showcases Buxtehude's knack for rhythm and counterpoint without the weightiness of a fugue or choral fantasy. The Canzonetta format itself—essentially a lighter cousin of the canzona—offers him room to experiment with melodic interplay and bright harmonic shifts, all in under four minutes. It feels less like a stern organ master at work and more like a clever musical mind having a bit of fun with form and phrasing.The piece is brisk but unhurried, ornate without being fussy. It's exactly the kind of music that hints at the roots of later Baroque developments, particularly in how themes are traded between voices and playfully developed. In its buoyancy and wit, Canzonetta, BuxWV 225 reminds us that even in the sacred-heavy world of 17th-century North German music, there was space for charm and cheer. As we wrap this week, it's a fine reminder of Buxtehude's range—and why his influence has echoed so far beyond the centuries he lived in.Without further ado, Dietrich Buxtehude—Canzonetta in C major.

Immigration: May a non-citizen challenge their removal from the place of their arrest for the purposes of immigration detention? - Argued: Tue, 06 May 2025 12:46:19 EDT

This is TRT World's Daily News Brief for Thursday, May 8th. Pakistan shoots down Indian jets as tensions soar "To calm tensions between the two arch-rivals India and Pakistan, world leaders have urged them to stop fighting. US President Donald Trump called for both nations to cease hostilities, while Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan offered diplomatic support to de-escalate the situation. Pakistan has said Indian strikes resulted in the deaths of 31 Pakistani civilians and injuries to 57 others, vowing to respond. It also said its air force brought down five Indian fighter jets and one drone in an act of ""self-defence” — including three Rafale aircraft." Israel kills over 50 Palestinians in continued Gaza bombardment "At least 54 Palestinians were killed and dozens more wounded in fresh Israeli air strikes across Gaza, according to medics. In Al-Tuffah, 16 Palestinians were killed in Israeli shelling of a school-turned-shelter, while 22 others were killed in an attack on a market in Gaza City. Further casualties occurred in Khan Younis, Bani Suhaila and various refugee camps. Gaza's government media office confirmed that Israel has targeted over 234 shelters. Total blockade on Gaza has caused severe famine among Palestinians, with the world urging Tel Aviv to allow aid to flow. Israel has killed over 52,600 people in the Palestinian enclave, mostly women and children, since October 7, 2023. " US court blocks Trump admin's transfer bid for detained Turkish student "A federal appeals court has ordered the transfer of Turkish doctoral student Rumeysa Ozturk from an immigration jail in Louisiana to a court in Vermont, where a bail hearing is scheduled for May 9. Ozturk was arrested in March after co-authoring a critical op-ed on Israel's genocidal war on Gaza. The ruling rejects the Trump administration's attempt to block her transfer. Ozturk's legal team argues her detention violates free speech rights." Russia declares ceasefire with Ukraine during Victory Day "Russia declares a unilateral ceasefire lasting until midnight on 11 May, marking the 80th anniversary of Victory Day, a national holiday, commemorating the 1945 defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II. President Vladimir Putin's move to pause hostilities during the national holiday met resistance from Kiev. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected the initiative and warned foreign dignitaries against attending Moscow's celebrations, citing safety concerns. The Kremlin hit back, labelling the warning a “threat,” while spokesman Dmitry Peskov vowed a “swift and effective” military response to any breach by Ukraine." Black smoke rises again as Vatican delays papal decision "Tension runs high in Vatican City as black smoke once again billowed from the Sistine Chapel, signalling no decision yet on the next pope. The 133 cardinals, the most diverse group ever assembled, began their second day of secret voting Thursday. With no clear favourite, speculation swirls—from Italy's Pizzaballa to Sri Lanka's Ranjith. As Catholic pilgrims crowd St Peter's Square, hope lingers as the Christian world awaits the white smoke that will herald the 267th pontiff."

Israeli strike on Gaza hospital ‘ugliest form of genocide': Palestine Palestine has denounced an Israeli air strike on the al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City as “one of the ugliest forms of genocide”. An Israeli warplane fired two missiles into the al-Ahli Arab Hospital, causing damage to the facility, which serves over a million Palestinians in northern Gaza. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry said this was a clear contempt for international law and accused Israel of “deliberately destroying 34 hospitals in Gaza since the war began and imposing starvation, thirst, and a blockade on vital medical supplies" Israel threatens to further shrink, isolate Gaza Meanwhile, the Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has threatened to further shrink and isolate Gaza as carnage continues in the blockaded enclave. Katz said that Gaza will become smaller and more isolated, and more and more of its residents will be forced to evacuate from the fighting zones. US finds no link between Rumeysa Ozturk and antisemitism, terrorism The US State Department has found no evidence that Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish graduate student at Tufts University in Massachusetts, engaged in anti-Semitic activity or supported a terrorist organisation. A March memo from within the State Department concluded there were no grounds to revoke Ozturk's visa based on the Trump administration's claim that she supported the Palestinian resistance group Hamas or engaged in anti-Semitism or violence as alleged by the Department of Homeland Security. Russian strike kills over 30 people in Sumy: Ukraine A Russian missile strike on Ukraine's northeastern city of Sumy killed at least 32 people, including two children, and wounded dozens, Kiev said, in the deadliest attack in months. The local emergency service said on social media that the latest toll was that 32 people died, including two children"" and that 84 people were injured, including 10 children. Türkiye eyes Erdogan, Trump meet as Antalya Diplomacy Forum concludes Türkiye's foreign minister has said that work is underway for a meeting between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and US President Donald Trump. Hakan Fidan told reporters at the conclusion of Antalya Diplomacy Forum 2025 that work is ongoing on whether the meeting will take place in the US or Türkiye, Fidan also said Erdogan intends to visit Syria.

* Israel expands ground invasion in Gaza Israel has announced the launch of a new ground invasion in Gaza, with rescuers saying military attacks had killed many people across the Palestinian territory. Simultaneously, Israel has escalated attacks on Lebanon and Syria, with a strike in south Lebanon, killing a Hamas commander. Defence Minister Israel Katz said that Israel would bolster its military presence inside Gaza to, what he claimed, "destroy and clear the area of terrorists and terrorist infrastructure". * Tens of thousands to attend anti-Trump protests across US Around 200 groups are planning to hold over 1,300 protests against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk on Saturday, marking the largest single-day demonstration of the new Trump administration. The "Hands Off!" anti-Trump protest, organised by progressive groups like Third Act and MoveOn, opposes Trump's alleged "hostile takeover" of the government, economy, and rights, with Musk as a key ally. Key grievances include Trump's tariffs causing a stock market crash, cuts to USAID, government layoffs by Musk's DOGE, and policies seen as anti-immigrant and harmful to the environment and democracy. * China strikes back at Trump with own tariffs China has said it would slap 34 percent tariffs on all imports of US goods from April 10 after Washington imposed steep new levies on Chinese products, vowing "countermeasures" to protect its rights and interests. Beijing's Commerce Ministry also imposed export controls on seven rare earth elements, including gadolinium and yttrium, which is used in consumer electronics. China will also file a lawsuit with the World Trade Organization over tariffs, the ministry said. * Russian strike kills 14 in Ukraine leader's home city A Russian ballistic missile strike on Volodymyr Zelenskyy's home city of Kryvyi Rig has killed 14 people, including six children, the Ukrainian leader said. The missile struck a residential area near a children's playground and wounded more than 50 people, according to the head of the city's military administration. Regional governor said the number of reported casualties was "constantly increasing". * Judge denies government's bid to move Rumeysa Ozturk case to Louisiana A federal judge has denied the Trump administration's attempt to dismiss or transfer Turkish student Rumeysa Ozturk's case to the state of Louisiana, instead ruling that the proceeding will be transferred to Vermont. US District Judge Denise Casper also granted a request to block the government from removing Ozturk from the US while her petition challenging her detention is considered.

The arrest and detainment of Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil by Immigration and Customs Enforcement garnered national attention.Last week, the video of the arrest of a Turkish PhD student at Tufts University, Rumeysa Ozturk, by masked federal agents received similar attention. In addition to Ozturk and Khalil, nearly a dozen international students and faculty at universities across the country have been detained for possible deportation as part of President Donald Trump's crackdown on those who've voiced pro-Palestinian views.The arrests have raised questions — not just about the rights of immigrants with legal status in the U.S. — but about the right to dissent, regardless of citizenship, under the Trump administration.Want to support 1A?

This episode starts with a trip down memory lane. If you were at school in the 90's you might feel a shiver as the r Trawl ladies relive some Sunday night theme tunes. You could call it the calm before the storm because, in the next minute, they're talking about the new child labour laws in the US. Ron De Santis wants to get those minors working through the night, ideally with no breaks. Seems fair.....Compared to Marjorie Taylor Greene however, De Santis almost cuts a reasonable figure. Marjorie is not liking the UK at the moment and makes no bones about showing her extreme disdain to a UK journalist. Hmm, that 'special' relationship appears to have gone rather toxic.Should we want any kind of a relationship with the Trump adminstration? When a young woman can be taken from the streets simply because she opposes what's happening in Palestine, you've hit a new low and yet that's what's happened to Rumeysa Ozturk. Rumeysa was on her way to meet friends at an Iftar dinner where they would break their Ramadan fast. Instead, the 30-year-old was arrested and physically restrained by immigration officers. Six plainclothes officers surrounded Ozturk as she walked alone, though the officers did not show their badges until she was restrained. Horrifying.On the subject of Palestine, Marina and Jemma barely know what to say any more given that this week, more humanitarian aid workers and medics have been killed by the Israeli army which breaches international law. Instead they have picked a few clips of brilliant people speaking powerfully. On a lighter note, Vance went to Greenland and the entire trip was so pitiful it was comical. It begs the question, is he the worst diplomat ever?

If you want an ad-free experience, you can subscribe below underneath the show description.The initial arrest and deportation plan for Mahmoud Khalil, a legal resident of the U.S., and the “secret police” style arrest of Rumeysa Ozturk during Ramadan - one openly facilitated by Canary Mission - should be the final nail in the coffin of the U.S. Constitution. Canary Mission is a shadowy organization - which takes open responsibly for Ozturk's arrest - with shadowy funding that compiles lists of people considered enemies of Israel and then presents what amounts to a “hit list” to the White House for carrying out the dirty work. Similar organizations are behind the forgotten deportation of illegal immigrants so the “feds” can focus on legal residents, and as the precedent is set, American citizens who criticize a foreign government. The only crime committed by Ozturk was writing an OP-ED for her university calling for transparency and abiding by school conduct code. Her arrest, along with the extortion-like letter sent to Columbia by the Federal Government, South Dakota's speciality anti-semitism law, and the DOJ Special Anti-Semitism task force, indicates that a powerful agent is in control the U.S. Government, AND it wants the First Amendment shut down: speech, protest, publication, privacy, and religion. Well, also the 2nd Amendment too. -FREE ARCHIVE (w. ads)SUBSCRIPTION ARCHIVEX / TWITTER FACEBOOKMAIN WEBSITECashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.

This week, Paul and Adam discuss the revelations that a reporter for The Atlantic was invited to join a high level group chat on Signal, which involved attack plans for Yemen. Also discussed, the case of Turkish national Rumeysa Ozturk, a student on a study visa in the US being abducted by ICA agents and transferred out of state contrary to a court order. Paul has some sources telling him about operations within the OPP, and Adam discusses how 'Mr. Big' operations work, and why they are seen as problematic. Finally, the guys end with a chat about baseball, and whether Mike Trout may end up on a decent team for once.

I go through the life and abduction of Rumeysa Ozturk.

Ralph welcomes journalist Chris Hedges to talk about his new book "A Genocide Foretold: Reporting on Survival and Resistance in Occupied Palestine." Then, Ralph speaks to David Swanson of World BEYOND War about what his organization is doing to resist this country's casual acceptance of being constantly at war. Finally, Ralph checks in with our resident constitutional scholar Bruce Fein.Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, who spent nearly two decades as a foreign correspondent in Central America, the Middle East, Africa and the Balkans. He is the host of The Chris Hedges Report, and he is a prolific author— his latest book is A Genocide Foretold: Reporting on Survival and Resistance in Occupied Palestine.We not only blocked the effort by most countries on the globe to halt the genocide or at least censure Israel to the genocide, but of course have continued to sendbillions of dollars in weapons and to shut down critics within the United States… And that sends a very, very ominous message to the global south, especiallyas the climate breaks down, that these are the kind of draconian murderous measuresthat we will employ.Chris HedgesIt's a very, very ominous chapter in the history of historic Palestine. In some ways, far worse even than the 1948 Nakba (or “Catastrophe”) that saw massacres carried out against Palestinians in their villages and 750,000 Palestinians displaced. What we're watching now is probably the worst catastrophe to ever beset the Palestinian people.Chris HedgesIt's a bit like attacking somebody for writing about Auschwitz and not giving the SS guards enough play to voice their side. We're writing about a genocide and, frankly, there isn't a lot of nuance. There's a lot of context (which is in the book). But I expect either to be blanked out or attacked because lifting up the voices of Palestinians is something at this point within American society that is considered by the dominant media platforms and those within positions of power to be unacceptable.Chris HedgesIt eventually comes down to us, the American people. And it's not just the Middle East. It's a sprawling empire with hundreds of military bases, sapping the energy of our public budgets and of our ability to relate in an empathetic and humanitarian way to the rest of the world.Ralph NaderDavid Swanson is an author, activist, journalist, radio host and Nobel Peace Prize nominee. He is executive director of World BEYOND War and campaign coordinator for RootsAction. His books include War Is A Lie and When the World Outlawed War.The biggest scandal of the past two days in the United States is not government officials secretly discussing plans for mass killing, for war making, but how they did it on a group chat. You can imagine if they were talking about blowing up buildings in the United States, at least the victims would get a little mention in there.David SwansonThe Democrats are the least popular they've been. They're way less popular than the Republicans because some of the Republicans' supporters actually support the horrendous behavior they're engaged in. Whereas Democrats want somebody to try anything, anything at all, and you're not getting it.David SwansonYou know how many cases across the world across the decades in every hospital and health center there are of PTSD or any sort of injury from war deprivation? Not a one. Not a single one, ever. People survive just fine. And people do their damnedest to stay out of it, even in the most warmongering nations in the world. People try their very hardest to stay out of war personally, because it does great damage.David SwansonBruce Fein is a Constitutional scholar and an expert on international law. Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.If there were really an attorney general who was independent, they would advise the President, “You can't make these threats. They are the equivalent of extortion.”Bruce FeinVigorous Public Interest Law DayApril 1, 2025 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm at Harvard Law School the Harvard Plaintiffs' Law Association is hosting Vigorous Public Interest Law Day with opening remarks by Ralph Nader. The program will feature highly relevant presentations and group discussions with some of the nation's most courageous public interest lawyers including Sam Levine, Bruce Fein, Robert Weissman, Joan Claybrook, and Pete Davis, to name a few. More information here.News 3/26/251. Starting off this week with some good news, Families for Safe Streets reports the Viriginia Assembly has passed HB2096, also known as the Stop Super Speeders bill. If enacted, this bill would allow would judges to “require drivers convicted of extreme speeding offenses to install Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) technology in their vehicles, automatically limiting their speed to the posted limit.” According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or NHTSA, established by Ralph Nader, speeding was responsible for 12,151 deaths in 2022 and is a contributing factor in the skyrocketing number of pedestrians killed by automobiles which hit a 40-year high in 2023, per NPR.2. In more troubling auto safety news AP reports NHTSA has ordered a new recall on nearly all Cybertrucks. This recall centers on an exterior panel that can “detach while driving, creating a dangerous road hazard for other drivers, [and] increasing the risk of a crash.” This panel, called a “cant rail assembly,” is attached with a glue that is vulnerable to “environmental embrittlement,” per NHTSA. This is the eighth recall of the vehicles since they hit the road just one year ago.3. At the same time, the Democratic-controlled Delaware state legislature has passed a bill to “award…Musk $56 billion, shield corporate executives from liability, and strip away voting power from shareholders,” reports the Lever. According to this report, written before the law passed, the bill would “set an extremely high bar for plaintiffs to obtain internal company documents, records, and communications — the core pieces of evidence needed to build a lawsuit against a company.” On the other hand, “Corporate executives and investors with a controlling stake in a firm would no longer be required to hold full shareholder votes on various transactions in which management has a direct conflict of interest.” As this piece notes, this bill was backed by a pressure campaign led by Musk and his lawyers that began with a Delaware Chancery Court ruling that jeopardized his $56 billion compensation package. In retaliation, Musk threatened to lead a mass exodus of corporations from the state. Instead of calling his bluff, the state legislature folded, likely beginning a race to the bottom among other corporate-friendly states that will strip anyone but the largest shareholders of any remaining influence on corporate decision making.4. Speaking of folding under pressure, Reuters reports Columbia University will “acquiesce” to the outrageous and unprecedented demands of the Trump administration. These include a new mask ban on campus, and placing the school's Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies department – along with the Center for Palestine Studies –under academic receivership for at least five years. By caving to these demands, the University hopes the administration will unfreeze $400 million in NIH grants they threatened to withhold. Reuters quotes historian of education, Professor Jonathan Zimmerman, who decried this as “The government…using the money as a cudgel to micromanage a university,” and Todd Wolfson, president of the American Association of University Professors, who called the administration's demands “arguably the greatest incursion into academic freedom, freedom of speech and institutional autonomy that we've seen since the McCarthy era.”5. The authoritarianism creeping through higher education doesn't end there. Following the chilling disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil, the Trump administration has begun deploying the same tactic against more students for increasingly minor supposed offenses. First there was Georgetown post-doc student Badar Khan Suri, originally from India, who “had been living in Virginia for nearly three years when the police knocked on his door on the evening of 17 March and arrested him,” per the BBC. His crime? Being married to the daughter of a former advisor to Ismail Haniyeh, who in 2010 left the Gaza government and “started the House of Wisdom…to encourage peace and conflict resolution in Gaza.” A court has blocked Suri's deportation. Then there is Rumeysa Ozturk, a PhD student at Tufts who was on her way home from an Iftar dinner when she was surrounded and physically restrained by plainclothes agents on the street, CNN reports. Video of this incident has been shared widely. Secretary of State Marco Rubio supposedly “determined” that Ozturk's alleged activities would have “potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences and would compromise a compelling U.S. foreign policy interest.” These activities? Co-writing a March 2024 op-ed in the school paper which stated “Credible accusations against Israel include accounts of deliberate starvation and indiscriminate slaughter of Palestinian civilians and plausible genocide.” The U.S. has long decried regimes that use secret police to suppress dissident speech. Now it seems it has become one.6. Yet the Trump administration is not only using deportations as a blunt object to punish pro-Palestine speech, it is also using it to go after labor rights activists. Seattle public radio station KUOW reports “Farmworker activist and union leader Alfredo Juarez Zeferino, known…as ‘Lelo,' was taken into custody by [ICE].” A farmworker and fellow activist Rosalinda Guillén is quoted saying “[Lelo] doesn't have a criminal record…they stopped him because of his leadership, because of his activism.” She added “I think that this is a political attack.” Simultaneously, the Washington Post reports “John Clark, a Trump-appointed Labor Department official, directed the agency's Bureau of International Labor Affairs…to end all of its grants.” These cuts are “expected to end 69 programs that have allocated more than $500 million to combat child labor, forced labor and human trafficking, and to enforce labor standards in more than 40 countries.”7. All of these moves by the Trump administration are despicable and largely unprecedented, but even they are not as brazen as the assault on the twin pillars of the American social welfare system: Social Security and Medicare. Social Security is bearing the brunt of the attacks at the moment. First, AP reported that Elon Musk's DOGE planned to cut up to 50% of the Social Security Administration staff. Then, the Washington Post reported that the administration planned to force millions of seniors to submit claims in person rather than via phone. Now the administration is announcing that they are shifting Social Security payments from paper checks to prepaid debit cards, per Axios. Nearly half a million seniors still receive their payments via physical checks. These massive disruptions in Social Security have roiled seniors across the nation, many of whom are Republican Trump supporters, and they are voicing their frustration to their Republican elected officials – who in turn are chafing at being cut out of the loop by Musk. NBC reports Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, chairman of the Senate Finance subcommittee on Social Security, said “he had not been told ahead of time about DOGE's moves at the agency.” Senators Steve Daines and Bill Cassidy have echoed this sentiment. And, while Social Security takes center stage, Medicare is next in line. Drop Site is out with a new report on how Trump's nominee to oversee the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services – Dr. Oz – could shift millions of seniors from traditional Medicare to the insurer-controlled Medicare Advantage system. Medicare and Social Security have long been seen as the “third rail” of American politics, meaning politicians who try to tamper with those programs meet their political demise. This is the toughest test yet of whether that remains true.8. The impact of Oscar winning documentary No Other Land continues to reverberate, a testament to the power of its message. In Miami Beach, Mayor Steven Meiner issued a draft resolution calling for the city to terminate its lease agreement with O Cinema, located at Old City Hall, simply for screening the film. Deadline reports however that he was forced to back down. And just this week, co-director of the film Hamdan Ballal was reportedly “lynched” by Israeli settlers in his West Bank village, according to co-director Yuval Abraham, an anti-occupation Jewish Israeli journalist. The Guardian reports “the settlers beat him in front of his home and filmed the assault…he was held at an army base, blindfolded, for 24 hours and forced to sleep under a freezing air conditioner.” Another co-director, Basel Adra of Masafer Yatta, told the AP “We came back from the Oscars and every day since there is an attack on us…This might be their revenge on us for making the movie. It feels like a punishment.” Stunningly, it took days for the Academy of Motion Pictures to issue a statement decrying the violence and even then, the statement was remarkably tepid with no mention of Palestine at all, only condemning “harming or suppressing artists for their work or their viewpoints.”9. In some more positive news, Zohran Mamdani – the Democratic Socialist candidate for Mayor of New York City – has maxed out donations, per Gothamist. Mamdani says he has raised “more than $8 million with projected matching funds from about 18,000 donors citywide and has done so at a faster rate than any campaign in city history.” Having hit the public financing cap this early, Mamdani promised to not spend any more of the campaign raising money and instead plans to “build the single largest volunteer operation we've ever seen in the New York City's mayor's race.” Witnessing a politician asking supporters not to send more money is a truly one-of-a-kind moment. Recent polling shows Mamdani in second place, well behind disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo and well ahead of his other rivals, including incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, per CBS. However, Mamdani remains unknown to large numbers of New Yorkers, meaning his ceiling could be much higher. Plenty of time remains before the June mayoral election.10. Finally, in an extremely bizarre story, Columbia Professor Anthony Zenkus reports “Robert Ehrlich, millionaire founder of snack food giant Pirate's Booty…tried to take over the sleepy Long Island town of Sea Cliff.” Zenkus relays that Ehrlich waged a “last minute write-in campaign for mayor in which he only received 62 votes - then declared himself mayor anyway.” Though Ehrlich only received 5% of the vote, he “stormed the village hall with an entourage, declaring himself the duly-elected mayor, screaming that he was there to dissolve the entire town government and that he alone had the power to form a new government.” Ehrlich claimed the election was “rigged” and thus invalid, citing as evidence “One of my supporters voted three times. Another one voted four times…” which constitutes a confession to election fraud. Zenkus ends this story by noting that Ehrlich was “escorted out by police.” It's hard to make heads or tails of this story, but if nothing else it indicates that these petty robber barons are simply out of control – believing they can stage their own mini coup d'etats. And after all, why shouldn't they think so, when one of their ilk occupies perhaps the most powerful office in the history of the world. Bad omens all around.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

Israel strikes Beirut for first time since Lebanon ceasefire "An unprecedented Israeli air strike hit south Beirut, marking the first such attack since the ceasefire reached in November with Hezbollah.

Ozturk was detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement near her Somerville home for criticising Israel in her academic work. The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed her visa revocation, citing her activism but providing no evidence of violence." Myanmar earthquake death toll tops 1,000 "A devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Myanmar has claimed 1,002 lives, with more than 2,000 wounded, according to the country's military government. The quake, which struck near Sagaing, caused widespread destruction, particularly in Mandalay. A state of emergency is in effect across six regions. As international aid begins to arrive, China has deployed a rescue team, with both Russia and the US offering assistance. The disaster also affected neighbouring Thailand, heightening concerns across the region." VP Vance calls for stronger US leadership in Arctic "US Vice President JD Vance stressed the importance of American leadership in the Arctic during a visit to Greenland, warning that inaction could leave the region vulnerable to rivals like Russia and China. Speaking at a US Space Force base in Greenland's Pituffik, Vance emphasised the need to strengthen Arctic security, criticising European allies, particularly Denmark, saying they haven't done a good job. He also stressed the significance of the US's presence in Greenland, highlighting its crucial role in national security and urging Greenlanders to consider a partnership with the US for enhanced security and economic benefits." Elon Musk's xAI buys his X platform "Elon Musk has announced that his AI startup, xAI, has officially acquired X—formerly known as Twitter—for $33 billion in an all-stock deal, valuing the combined entity at $80 billion. Musk touts the merger as a leap toward ""accelerating human progress,"" intertwining xAI's AI prowess with X's vast user base. The acquisition follows Musk's controversial 2022 purchase of Twitter, which was marked by workforce cuts and advertiser exodus. Notably, banks recently offloaded $12 billion in X's debt amid renewed investor interest in AI and the platform's improved performance."

Israeli kills 28 more Palestinians in Gaza "At least 28 more Palestinians have been killed in Israeli air strikes across Gaza as attacks targeted residential homes and civilians. Israel launched an aerial offensive on Gaza on March 18, killing at least 830 people and wounding nearly 1,800. The assault shattered a January ceasefire, displacing 124,000 Palestinians again and deepening the humanitarian crisis." US lawmakers, rights groups condemn arrest of Turkish student over criticism of Israel "US lawmakers and rights groups have condemned the arrest of Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish PhD student at Tufts University and Fulbright scholar, over her criticism of Israel. Ozturk was detained by masked federal agents in broad daylight, with authorities claiming her of supporting Hamas—an allegation her family and advocates strongly deny. US lawmakers and rights groups say her arrest is part of a wider crackdown on free speech and civil liberties in the US, particularly against those voicing support for Palestinians. Israel constantly denying aid supplies to Gaza: UN "Israel has rejected most attempts by humanitarian organisations to deliver essential supplies into Gaza, the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) has said. With intense hostilities continuing for a second week, UNRWA warned that basic supplies are running out and could be depleted within days if aid is not allowed in. The agency said most efforts to coordinate access with Israeli authorities have been blocked, worsening the humanitarian crisis in the besieged territory. Sudan's Burhan declares Khartoum 'free' after reclaiming airport Sudan's Sovereign Council Chairman Abdel Fattah al Burhan declared Khartoum ""free"" after the army expelled the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and reclaimed key sites, including the airport.

Set to take effect on April 2, the move will hit foreign-made cars and light trucks, adding to existing tariffs on those goods."

With the rise of AI in 2024, breaking through the volume of content online and standing out authentically can feel impossible. So how do you produce engaging content that is unique to you, sets you apart and has the impact you want to create through your work?On today's episode, our guest host Hazal Ozturk is here to talk about just that, sharing how she has learnt to engage with her audience in a meaningful way and reach multi-six figures in her business. Hazal is a corporate marketer of 10 years turned marketing and business coach for ambitious entrepreneurs looking to scale to multi 6-figures without feeling like they're faking it, using her “Self, Strategy, Systems” framework. Her coaching company, Hey Hazal, has helped her clients achieve results like multi-6 figure quarters, 13x their profit, leave their 9-5's, go viral and create a thriving, easeful and authentic online business. She's also host of her own top charting podcast, The Self-Makers Podcast. She takes us through her proven strategies for honing in on authentic messaging, sharing vulnerably and the power of embracing a CEO mindset when fears set in: Authentic MarketingThe concept of authenticity in marketing has evolved and is now more crucial than ever. Hazal defines authentic marketing not as sharing every aspect of one's life, but as sharing content that feels genuine and meaningful. She encourages us to look within to know what to share and how to remain true to ourselves in not crossing our own boundaries.Effective Messaging and StorytellingHazal introduces a four-step process to help businesses fine-tune their messaging: identifying the client's biggest problems, understanding how these issues manifest in their lives, recognizing unproductive attempts at resolution and offering unique solutions. She shares practical storytelling prompts to help business owners create engaging and authentic content that drives results.The Importance of Thought LeadershipOwning your thought leadership is pivotal for personal and professional growth. As we grow larger and more influential, it becomes increasingly likely that we will encounter disagreements and even dislike from others. It's essential to understand that having divisive opinions is okay and part of being a thought leader. By accepting this reality, coaches can better prepare themselves for the inevitable challenges that come with expanding their influence.Building a Resilient MindsetCultivating a solid relationship with oneself is crucial in order to withstand the many challenges that come with entrepreneurship. Hazal highlights that having a grounded and secure sense of self allows us to navigate mindset wobbles, which everyone experiences at every stage of business. By developing resources and support systems, we can hold and understand our feelings better and create the tools to build that resilient mindset.This is an amazing episode that will help you recalibrate and find fresh ideas to enhance the impact you create with your marketing. If you're looking for more ideas on how to show up in business as your most magnetic, authentic self, click the link below to check out Hazal's amazing podcast, The Self-Makers Podcast.LINKSResources Mentioned: The FREE Mastermind Launch PlaybookConnect with Hazal:Instagram: @hey.hazal Website: https://heyhazal.com/ Podcast: The Self-Makers PodcastConnect with Ellie:  Website:         https://www.ellieswift.com/Instagram:     @elliehswiftFacebook Group:     www.facebook.com/groups/shineonsocialellieswift/
