The role of social media and why those deranged people need to celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk.Washington Post columnist fired over social media posts after Charlie Kirk's assassinationA left-wing columnist revealed in a Substack on Monday that she was fired by the Washington Post over social media posts amid the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the Colorado school shooting. "On Bluesky, in the aftermath of the horrific shootings in Utah and Colorado, I condemned America's acceptance of political violence and criticized its ritualized responses — the hollow, cliched calls for ‘thoughts and prayers' and ‘this is not who we are' that normalize gun violence and absolve [W]hite perpetrators especially, while nothing is done to curb deaths," Karen Attiah wrote.Kirk, a leading conservative activist, was assassinated at a campus event in Utah on Wednesday. That same day, a separate shooting at a Colorado school left two students injured and the assailant dead.Attiah included multiple screenshots of her posts on Bluesky, including one that read, "Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that people perform care, empty goodness and absolution for [W]hite men who espouse hatred and violence.""My only direct reference to Kirk was one post— his own words on record," Attiah wrote on Substack. In a post to her Bluesky account, Attiah wrote, "'Black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a [W]hite person's slot'- Charlie Kirk." Attiah appeared to reference a July 2023 remark made by Kirk during "The Charlie Kirk Show" about affirmative action in which he named Joy Reid, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee, according to Reuters, rather than speaking broadly about all Black women, as one viral X post suggested.Attiah said she was fired for speaking out against political violence, "racial double standards" and America's "empathy towards guns.""The Post accused my measured Bluesky posts of being ‘unacceptable', ‘gross misconduct' and of endangering the physical safety of colleagues — charges without evidence, which I reject completely as false. They rushed to fire me without even a conversation. This was not only a hasty overreach, but a violation of the very standards of journalistic fairness and rigor the Post claims to uphold," Attiah wrote in the post, where she included a 2019 photo of herself and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Edition No246 | 14-09-2025 - When Russian drones violate Polish airspace and NATO in Europe scrambles, what does the American president post? If you read the headlines, you may get one version of reality – that decisive action is coming, it's being planned, it's almost here. If you peel away the normalization bias and sane washing, then it's clear that nothing is happening, and nothing is likely to happen from US side that would deter Vladimir Putin. Trump will not defend you. Trump's response to the unprecedented attack on Poland, Europe and NATO, he immediately turned around and delivered an ultimatum not to Russia, but to NATO itself. We'll unpack why Donald Trump's threats and conditions land on allies—not on Moscow—whenever Europe is tested, how the media “sane-washes” the noise into a tepid bath of normal, and why Europe must plan like the cavalry isn't coming. Because it's not. “The war in Ukraine would end if all NATO countries stopped buying oil from Russia,” Trump posted—calling those purchases “shocking” and saying they “greatly weaken your negotiating position.” (Sky News, Sept. 13, 2025).

Newly discovered bank and tax documents show that Trump and one of his inner circle Bill Pulte have been lying to a federal court that Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook committed mortgage fraud by falsely claiming that she told her lender that 2 homes of hers were both “primary residences” in order to gain an economic and tax advantage. As Michael Popok reports based on Reuters expose, turns out that Cook told her lender in writing that her Atlanta property was a “vacation” or “second home” and she never declared the property as her “primary” for property tax purposes. On the other hand, Pulte's own parents committed tax fraud that has been investigated by Michigan state officials. Upgrade your sleep with Miracle Made!

Ralph welcomes Timothy Whitehouse, executive director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) to speak about how federal workers across all government agencies are being unfairly denigrated and summarily fired by the Trump Administration to clear the way for corporate corruption. Plus, we are joined by Toby Heaps, Editor-in-Chief of “Corporate Knights” magazine to talk about the benefits of the cooperative business model over the corporate shareholder model.Timothy Whitehouse is executive director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). Prior to joining PEER, he was a senior attorney at the Environmental Protection Agency and was head of the Law and Policy Program at the North American Commission for Environmental Cooperation in Montreal.The time to stigmatize federal workers is over. It's time to start rallying for unions for federal workers and what they do, and to support the idea that government plays an important role and that government (the civil service) must be as non-political as possible. Our country will be much better for it.Timothy WhitehouseThat's a good way to describe it: supersonic. We knew things were going to be really bad, but they are much worse than bad because there's no check and no balance on this President's madness. And some of the people and institutions we had hoped would stand up a little bit are collapsing one by one.Timothy WhitehouseOur foreign enemies could not have devised a better way to grind our system to a halt, and that's what's happening.Timothy WhitehouseToby Heaps is the CEO and co-founder of Corporate Knights, and Editor-in-Chief of Corporate Knights magazine. He spearheaded the first global ranking of the world's 100 most sustainable corporations in 2005, and in 2007 coined the term “clean capitalism.” Toby has been published in the Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, and the Globe and Mail, and is a regular guest speaker on CBC.I think in the co-op movement, the biggest bugaboo holding it back (in North America, that is) is people's perception that it's not a significant force. And it is already a significant force. In many cases, we're not familiar that the company might be a co-op (such as Associated Press or Ocean Spray) but in the United States alone, the turnover of co-op enterprises sales in 2023 was $324 billion US. And so, it's a significant part of the economy already.Toby HeapsI can't underline enough that if you care about a sustainable economy that works for people and planet, that the operating model is not just the clean economy (the environmentally friendly economy), it's the cooperatively-run economy.Toby HeapsThe principal obstacle to co-ops is the inadequate engagement of consumers to know about the huge benefits— to control the local economy from multinational corporations (absentee), who are pulling strings in ways that are very damaging, and basically to assume the purchasing power of the consumer.Ralph NaderNews 9/12/2025* Several major stories surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case have emerged in the past week. First, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released a note written by President Trump to Epstein included in the latter's “birthday book” from 2003. In this note, Trump refers to Epstein as his “pal” and writes “May every day be another wonderful secret," according to Reuters. Trump has denied that this letter even existed, going so far as to sue the Wall Street Journal for defamation over their reporting in July. Trump continues to deny that he wrote the letter, though his signature is a perfect match, and he has sought to tamp down the matter, calling it a “dead issue,” per NBC.* In Congress, Republican allies of Donald Trump are seeking to quash the Epstein issue as well. On Tuesday, Republicans on the House Rules Committee “shot down a bid to put the Epstein Files Transparency Act—which would compel the Justice Department to release all unclassified records related to Jeffrey Epstein—to a floor vote,” in an 8–4 party-line vote, the New Republic reports. However, despite this setback, dissident Republican Thomas Massie continues to press the issue. Speaking about the birthday note, Massie said “It's…indicative of the things that might come out if we were to release all of the files…embarrassing, but not indictable. And I don't think avoiding embarrassment is a reason to avoid justice,” per CNN. Massie added in an interview on ABC that "I think it's going to be embarrassing to some of the billionaires, some of the donors who are politically connected to [Trump's] campaign. There are probably intelligence ties to our CIA and maybe to other foreign intelligence." Democrat Ro Khanna insisted in this same interview that he and his allies, including Massie, will be able to pull together a House majority of 218 members to force a vote on releasing the files.* Our final Epstein story for the week concerns James O'Keefe. Former leader of Project Veritas, O'Keefe continues to carry out far-right hidden-camera sting operations. In a rare move targeting conservatives, O'Keefe engineered a date between Joseph Schnitt, a deputy chief of staff at the Office of Enforcement Operations at DOJ, and an operative in his employ wherein Schnitt admitted that the Trump administration will “redact every Republican or conservative person in those files, [and] leave all the liberal, Democratic people.” In this video, Schnitt also implies that Epstein's lieutenant, Ghislaine Maxwell was relocated to a lower security prison to “keep her mouth shut,” as part of a deal with the government. This according to the Hill. One should certainly take revelations from O'Keefe with a heavy dose of salt, but these troubling comments should also raise suspicions about the government's possible plans to manipulate information related to this case for political ends.* Aside from the Epstein affair, the Trump administration continues to issue destructive policy directives in all directions. AP reports the federal Department of Transportation has scrapped a Biden-era rule that required airlines to “compensate stranded passengers with cash, lodging and meals for flight cancellations or changes caused by a carrier.” This rule, which sought “compensation starting at $200…[and] as high as $775…for delays of nine hours or more,” was consistent with European aviation consumer protections. Unsurprisingly, airlines – represented by lobbyists in the employ of the industry trade group Airlines for America – bitterly resisted the rule and celebrated the administration's abandonment of this basic consumer protection. The Biden Transportation Department had also been weighing rules that would have required airlines to provide, “free rebooking on the next available flight, including flights on rival airlines, as well as meals and lodging when passengers are stranded overnight.”* At the same time, the Trump administration's Federal Trade Commission is abandoning its rules banning noncompete clauses for employees. An eye-popping 1 in 5 workers are bound by noncompetes, approximately 30 million Americans, and experts estimated that banning such clauses could boost wages to the tune of nearly $300 billion per year and help create 8,500 new businesses, per NPR. The FTC voted 3-1 to vacate its defense of the rule, with Chair Andrew Ferguson and Melissa Holyoak, both Republicans, issuing a joint statement. Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, the lone remaining Democrat on the commission after Trump purged the FTC earlier this year, voted no.* Turning to foreign affairs, the Guardian reports two ships in the Gaza aid flotilla have been struck by drone attacks while docked in Tunisia. The first struck the Family Boat, which carries activist Greta Thunberg, though she was not on board at the time. The second struck the Alma, a ship bearing British flags while docked in the port of Sidi Bou Said. In a video, one can see, “a luminous object hitting the boat and fire erupting on board.” Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, is quoted saying, ‘‘Authoritative sources suggest the attack involved an incendiary grenade, wrapped in plastic materials soaked in fuel, which may have ignited before even hitting the vessel.” These attacks come amidst a renewed Israeli bombing campaign against its neighbors, including bombing the Qatari capital of Doha and the Yemeni capital Sanaa. Trump says he is “very unhappy” about the strikes; Israel's ambassador to the United States however says the world will “get over it.” This from Al Jazeera.* Meanwhile, Drop Site is out with yet another bombshell report, this time on Israel's propaganda push to cover up the scale of the hunger crisis in Gaza. According to this report, the Netanyahu government signed a previously unreported $45 million deal with Google to push false propaganda through the massive platform. One video, viewed more than 6 million times, asserts “There is food in Gaza. Any other claim is a lie.” Israel also reportedly paid $3 million for an ad campaign on X, formerly Twitter, and another $2 million on a French platform called Outbrain. This report also cites other examples of Israeli propaganda campaigns in recent years, including against UNRWA and regarding the illegal strikes in Iran.* In more positive news, the pro-Palestine campaign in Hollywood continues to grow. This week, Variety reports a group of over 3,900 filmmakers, actors and other industry professionals signed a new pledge to boycott working with “Israeli film institutions and companies that are ‘implicated in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people.'” This group includes many household names, such as Mark Ruffalo, Joaquin Phoenix, Jonathan Glazer, Tilda Swinton, Javier Bardem, Emma Stone, Boots Riley, Ayo Edebiri, and many, many more. The list continues to grow as this pledge circulates. According to the Hollywood Reporter, this campaign is led by Film Workers for Palestine, which explicitly modeled their strategy after Filmmakers United Against Apartheid. That group, founded by eminent filmmakers like Martin Scorsese, demanded that the film industry refuse distribution in apartheid South Africa.* Beyond Israel/Palestine, events are rocking Nepal, the small Himalayan nation that lies between India and China. The BBC reports “Fierce protests against corruption and nepotism spiralled into arson and violence on Tuesday. The prime minister resigned as politicians' homes were vandalised, government buildings torched and parliament set ablaze. Twenty-nine people have died since Monday.” The "Gen Z" youth groups leading the protests have distanced themselves from these acts of destruction, claiming their movement was "hijacked" by "opportunists". Nepal's military has been deployed in the capital of Kathmandu in an attempt to restore order and enforce a curfew. The government of Nepal, led by now-ousted Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli, sought to cultivate a closer relationship with China to offset Nepal's historical dependence on India. For the time being, China seems to be taking a wait and see approach to the situation in Nepal, with foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian calling for all parties to “properly handle domestic issues and restore social order and national stability as soon as possible,” per the South China Morning Post.* Finally, Democracy Now! reports that in an apparent fit of retaliation, the Trump administration is now threatening to redeport Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the American green card holder recently returned from his wrongful deportation to El Salvador's CECOT mega-prison. This time, instead of sending him to El Salvador, the government plans to send Garcia to the tiny African kingdom of Eswatini, formerly Swaziland. Garcia had previously expressed fear of being deported to Uganda. This move would surely be punitive, capricious and just plain bizarre, but that is hardly a deviation from the course of the Trump administration. We express solidarity with Garcia, who stands practically alone against the juggernaut of the United States' deportation apparatus.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Violence has a way of shaking us to the core. In recent weeks, two tragedies have gripped our nation. But here's the question: How should we respond? Not just politically, not just socially—but spiritually. Today, we're going to step back from the headlines and ask: What does the Bible say when a nation is rocked by violence? We'll explore five timeless truths from scripture—truths about the value of life, the call to justice, the danger of hatred, the responsibility of leadership, and the hope of peace through Christ.Connect --> https://drmatmonharrell.bio.link/ Written by Dr. Matmon HarrellReferencesEconomic Times.

It's Thursday, September 11th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Papua New Guinea held National Repentance Day Papua New Guinea held its National Repentance Day last month with prayer and worship gatherings across the country. The event began in 2007 to remember the nation's Christian heritage. The island country in Oceania is home to over 10 million people, most of whom identify as Christian. Papua New Guinea amended its constitution in March to declare itself a Christian nation. Rev. Jack Urame leads the Lutheran Evangelical Church in the country. He spoke at the recent event, calling for genuine repentance. He said, “Repentance is a way of life, acknowledging God as the source of our life, our country, and our very existence.” Matthew 3:8 says, “Bear fruit in keeping with repentance.” Nearly half of Evangelicals are in Africa Researchers shared data on global evangelicalism at an event hosted by the World Evangelical Alliance last week. Dr. Gina Zurlo, editor of the World Christian Database, estimates that there are up to 937 million Evangelicals worldwide. Also, the center of evangelicalism has shifted. Nearly half of Evangelicals are in Africa, 26% are in Asia, and only 11% are in North America. The country with the largest Evangelical population is now China, not the United States. Poland shot down suspected Russian drones Reuters reports that Poland shot down suspected Russian drones that entered its airspace yesterday. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said it was “the closest we have been to open conflict since World War II.” But he also said he had “no reason to believe we're on the brink of war.” Russia denied responsibility for the incident. This marks the first time a NATO member has fired shots since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. Conservative activist Charlie Kirk assassinated on college campus Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old Christian founder of Turning Point USA, a massive conservative student organization on 3,500 college campuses, was fatally shot and killed on Wednesday, September 10th by an assassin at a Utah Valley University event in Orem, Utah, reports The Blaze.com. Justin Hickens was a witness, reports NBC News. HICKENS: “I was about 20 yards away on Charlie's left. There were thousands of people there. Unfortunately, there was no metal detectors. There was security by Charlie. But, you know, anybody could have shown up with whatever unfortunately. And I, I happen to kind of maneuver my way down close on the side. “The first interaction probably took about 10 minutes, it was a religious-related exchange. And then there was someone who stepped up, ironically, coincidentally, who asked the question about mass shootings. And about 60 to 90 seconds in, we just saw, we heard a big, loud shot. I saw a bunch of blood come out of Charlie. I saw his body kind of kick back and go limp, and everybody dropped to the ground. “Luckily, there were no other bullets sprayed into the crowd, because nobody was really able to go anywhere. It was just like a big open pavilion.” Kirk had 5.3 million followers on his X account and drew an audience of more than 500,000 monthly listeners to podcasts of his radio program, "The Charlie Kirk Show." He also authored or contributed to several books, including Time for a Turning Point: Setting a Course Toward Free Markets and Limited Government for Future Generations as well as The College Scam: How America's Universities Are Bankrupting and Brainwashing Away the Future of America's Youth, reports Reuters. Utah Republican Governor Spencer Cox characterized the shooting this way. COX: “I want to be very clear that this is a political assassination. We are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights. First one of those is life. And today, a life was taken. “Charlie Kirk was, first and foremost, a husband and a dad to two young children. He was also very much politically involved, and that's why he was here on campus. Charlie believed in the power of free speech and debate to shape ideas and to persuade people.” While police initially arrested an older man as a suspect, he was subsequently released, reports The Daily Mail. Then, after FBI Director Kash Patel had a subject in custody, he was also released. The manhunt continues. Blaze Media CEO Tyler Cardon said, "Charlie Kirk was one of one. He was a gifted communicator, loving husband and father, visionary builder, and a faithful Christian. He was the most effective representative of conservative Christian values of his generation. A force of nature. I will miss him dearly." Conservative CNN commentator Scott Jennings said this. JENNINGS: “I'll be honest with you, I am in utter disbelief at this. I sat in this room last summer, the night they shot the president. And now they shot Charlie. I'm not sure it's safe to be an outspoken conservative walking around in America right now. “This nation is in desperate need of prayer and some kind of an intervention. What was Charlie doing? Making a speech, engaging in rhetoric, having a debate. That's the bedrock of our nation.” Kirk's appearance at Utah Valley University was the kick-off event for The American Comeback Tour in which students, who disagreed with him, were invited to come to the microphone at the “Prove Me Wrong” table and ask Kirk a question. Blaze TV host Sara Gonzales was incredulous. GONZALES: “Charlie is doing this tour. Why? Because he wants to have a respectful dialogue with people who don't agree with him. That's the entire intention. That's why he sits there and he invites people up to the mic. He doesn't have to have a mic there. He doesn't have to invite people with opposing opinions up there. “The literal intention behind all of this is to have a civil debate, regardless of your opinion. And apparently, in this country, you can't have a differing opinion from the woke radical ideology without someone attempting to kill you.” Turning Point USA, whose revenue exceeded $81 million in 2022, has not only influenced multiple American elections, but has also sparked difficult conversations, changed perspectives, and helped build new connections on college campuses. President Trump addressed the nation last night on September 10th. TRUMP: “I am filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk on a college campus in Utah. Charlie inspired millions, and tonight, all who knew him and loved him are united in shock and horror. “Charlie was a patriot who devoted his life to the cause of open debate and the country that he loved so much, the United States of America. He's a martyr for truth and freedom, and there has never been anyone who was so respected by youth. “Charlie was also a man of deep, deep faith. And we take comfort in the knowledge that he is now at peace with God in Heaven. “This is a dark moment for America. Charlie Kirk traveled the nation, joyfully engaging with everyone interested in good faith debate. His mission was to bring young people into the political process, which he did better than anybody – ever -- to share his love of country and to spread the simple words of common sense. On campuses nationwide, he championed his ideas with courage, logic, humor and grace.” President Trump objected to how the Left and the media have demonized conservatives like Charlie Kirk. TRUMP: “It's long past time for all Americans and the media to confront the fact that violence and murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree day after day, year after year, in the most hateful and despicable way possible. For years, those on the radical Left have compared wonderful Americans, like Charlie, to Nazis and the world's worst mass murderers and criminals. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we're seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now.” And Pastor Greg Laurie of Harvest Christian Fellowship shared this emotional reaction. LAURIE: “I'm sure many of you have heard the heartbreaking news. Charlie Kirk has died. This is an incredible loss. Charlie was such a courageous young man. “He was not only a bold and unwavering voice for Biblical truth in our culture, but also a devoted follower of Jesus Christ, a husband and a family man. He will be deeply missed. “As shocking as this news is, we can take comfort in knowing that Charlie is now in Heaven. The moment he took his last breath here on Earth, he took his first breath in the presence of the Lord. That is the hope we hold on to as believers: eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ.” Charlie Kirk is survived by his wife Erika, a former Miss Arizona USA beauty pageant winner, and their two children. Phillip Brown, a Christian businessman in Belton, Texas, said, “I pray that more young men will take his place and not be silenced.” Hero of 9/11 remembered And finally, today marks 24 years since the tragic 9/11 attacks. In the early morning of September 11, 2001, 19 al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners. The terrorists crashed two of the planes into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. The third plane crashed into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. And the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania as passengers fought back against the hijackers. One of those passengers was a Christian man named Todd Beamer. A call from the plane's phone records how he recited the Lord's prayer and Psalm 23 before confronting the terrorists. The plane crashed, killing everyone on board but saving the hijackers intended target, perhaps the U.S. Capitol or the White House. Beamer's last recorded words were “Are you guys ready? Let's roll.” It became a rallying cry in the wake of the attacks which left nearly 3,000 people dead. Psalm 23:4 says, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, September 11th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Edition No245 | 10-09-2025 - Poland has triggered NATO Article 4, in what is being interpreted by informed commentators as a significant sub-threshold escalation by Russia's, and explicit threat Europe and the NATO alliance, as well as marking the war's widening arc. Poland says a mass of Russian “drone-type objects” broke into its airspace as Moscow hammered Ukraine. Polish and allied jets — including Dutch F-35s — scrambled and shot several down. Warsaw shut airports, ordered people indoors, and did something only anticipated in the gravest moments: invoked Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty. “Last night the Polish airspace was violated by a huge number of Russian drones. Those drones that posed a direct threat were shot down,” Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote. (Associated Press via NPR/OPB, Sept. 10, 2025)The EU's top diplomat Kaja Kallas called it “the most serious European airspace violation by Russia since the war began,” adding that “indications suggest it was intentional, not accidental.” (Reuters, Sept. 10, 2025; ABC News, Sept. 10, 2025) This is no isolated scare. It fits a pattern: missiles and drones “straying” into NATO skies, GPS jamming from Kaliningrad, and the return of Zapad, Russia's most confrontational military drills with Belarus. Tonight, we map the pattern, the risks, and what comes next.

Dziś w nocy rosyjskie drony naruszyły przestrzeń powietrzną Polski. Według premiera Tuska doszło co najmniej do 19 przypadków wtargnięć dronów na terytorium Polski. Do ingerencji doszło w trakcie ataku Rosji na Ukrainę, choć – jak potwierdził premier – spora część dronów nadleciała znad Białorusi. Jak poinformowały władze, bezzałogowce zostały zestrzelone, a ich szczątki spadły na tereny wschodniej Polski. Nie ma strat w ludziach, a skala zniszczeń jest na razie oceniana. To był pierwszy przypadek udziału jednostek NATO w likwidacji rosyjskiego zagrożenia na terenie Sojuszu. Źródło w NATO powiedziało agencji Reuters, że incydent był celowym wtargnięciem rosyjskich dronów na terytorium NATO. Polski rząd podjął konsultacje z partnerami w ramach art. 4 Traktatu Północnoatlantyckiego. Przewodnicząca Komisji Europejskiej Ursula von der Leyen powiedziała w Parlamencie Europejskim, że mieliśmy do czynienia z bezmyślnym i celowym naruszeniem przestrzeni powietrznej Polski i Europy.Jaki był cel rosyjskiej operacji? Czy należy ją wiązać z rozpoczynającymi się w piątek ćwiczeniami ZAPAD 2025?

I helgen träffades Ukraina av den största attacken från Ryssland sen krigets start. Över 800 drönare och 13 robotar skickades mot Ukraina och minst 4 har bekräftats döda i attackerna, enligt president Zelenskyj. För första gången sen krigsutbrottet attackerade Ryssland en regeringsbyggnad i Kiev – bör det ses som en eskalation från rysk sida, hur är läget vid fronten just nu och vad kan omvärlden göra för att få till en vapenvila mellan länderna?

Comisia și Consiliul European au organizat marți seara audieri și dezbateri pe tema Republicii Moldova. Acestea au avut loc după ce la prânz Maia Sandu a ținut un discurs în plenul Parlamentului European. Iar miercuri ar urma să fie votată o rezoluție privind viitorul european al Chișinăului. Invitatul Moldova Zoom este europarlamentarul Siegfried Mureșan, unul dintre inițiatorii rezoluției care reiterează sprijinul Parlamentului European pentru aderarea Republicii Moldova la blocul comunitar. Și un reportaj din Zona de Securitate de pe Nistru, dintr-un sat care se învecinează cu regiunea separatistă pro-rusă Transnistria. Știrile zilei: Președinta R.Moldova, Maia Sandu, a ținut un discurs în plenul Parlamentului European despre apărarea democrației, în ajunul alegerilor cruciale din 28 septembrie. „Dacă democrația noastră nu poate fi protejată, nicio democrație din Europa nu este în siguranță”, avertizează președinta moldoveană, spunând că Moldova este poligonul de testare al Rusiei, ținta reală fiind Uniunea Europeană. Preşedinta Comisiei Europene, Ursula von der Layen ține în aceste momente discursul său anual cu privire la starea Uniunii, în care prezentă principalele priorităţi şi viziunea UE pentru anul următor. În cadrul sesiunii plenare a Parlamentului European urmează să fie votată, miercuri, o rezoluție prin care va fi reiterat sprijinul Parlamentului European pentru aderarea Republicii Moldova la blocul comunitar. Forul cere Rusiei să înceteze acțiunile destabilizatoare și să își retragă trupele și muniția din regiunea separatistă transnistreană. Rezoluția mai cere începerea negocierilor pe capitole pentru aderarea Republicii Moldova la UE. Vicepreședintele Parlamentului European, Victor Negrescu, a lansat idea ca 2028 să fie anul aderării Moldovei la bloc. În Republica Moldova, un candidat la funcția de deputat a fost arestat în propria casă de așa-numitele forțe de ordine din regiunea separatistă Transnistria. Vladimir Meleca este președinte al filialei Partidului Liberal (PL) din regiunea transnistreană și candidat la funcția de deputat. Acesta a fost arestat în locuința sa din Crasnogorca, din raionul Grigoriopol, din Transnistria. Reținerea a fost efectuată de patru indivizi care s-au prezentat ca fiind angajați ai așa-numitului minister al securității de stat de la Tiraspol. Actul a fost precedat de o percheziție, în urma căreia au fost confiscate bunuri personale, inclusiv telefonul mobil, calculatorul și diverse publicații. Reținerea lui Meleca vine în contextul în care Guvernul de la Chișinău așteaptă eliberarea mai multor deținuți politici, după ce a condiționat asigurarea tranzitului gazelor naturale către regiunea transnistreană de eliberarea acestor cetățeni deținuți ilegal, notează TV8. În a doua jumătate a zilei de ieri, Partidul Liberal a anunțat că Vladimir Meleca a fost eliberat de organele separatiste, dar i s-a intentat un dosar pentru declarații politice și i s-a interzis să plece din Transnistria. Marina Tauber, considerată o apropiată a oligarhului fugar Ilan Șor, și alți lideri ai blocului pro-rus Pobeda, au ajuns în vizorul Serviciului Federal de Securitate din Rusia (FSB) pentru sustragerea banilor pe care Kremlinul le trimitea pentru destabilizarea situației din Moldova. În 2023, membrii grupării ar fi deturnat circa 10 milioane de dolari din fondurile alocate de Moscova, arată o anchetă realizată de Deschide.md. Sursele publicației din interiorul blocului Pobeda susțin că sumele sunt chiar mai mari și că circa 70% din fondurile transferate în ultimii ani de Rusia pentru finanțarea ilegală a partidelor au dispărut fără urmă. Alexandru Bălan, fost director adjunct al SIS din Republica Moldova a primit un mandat de reţinere pentru 24 de ore după audierile de la sediul DIICOT. Procurorii români susțin că activitățile sale au pus în pericol securitatea națională a României. Bălan ar fi fost implicat în divulgarea neautorizată a unor informații secrete de stat către ofițeri din cadrul Comitetului Securității de Stat – KGB al Belarusului. Cehia expulzează un diplomat belarus acuzat de spionaj, a anunțat Ministerul Afacerilor Externe de la Praga. Cazul are legătură cu ancheta în care este vizat fostul director adjunct al SIS, Alexandru Bălan. Serviciul de Informații și Securitate din Cehia a declarat că, împreună cu serviciile românești și maghiare, a „desființat o rețea de informații belarusă care se construia în Europa” și care recruta agenți și aduna informații sensibile. Și premierul polonez Donald Tusk a anunțat marți arestarea unui „agent din Belarus” și expulzarea unui diplomat din această țară aliată a Rusiei pentru „activitate agresivă” împotriva Poloniei, relatează AFP. „Arestarea este rezultatul cooperării în special cu serviciile de informații din România și Cehia”, a scris Tusk pe X. Ministrul polonez de interne a indicat că în operațiune au fost implicate și serviciile de informații din Ungaria și Republica Moldova. Polonia va închide granița cu Belarus joi, 11 septembrie, la miezul nopții, ora locală, ca urmare a exercițiilor militare Zapad-2025 (Vest-2025), desfășurate de comun cu Rusia în apropierea frontierei estice a UE și NATO. Anunțul a fost făcut marți de premierul Donald Tusk, scrie Reuters. Exercițiile sunt anunțate în perioada 12-16 septembrie și au stârnit îngrijorări în materie de securitate în statele membre NATO vecine, Polonia, Lituania și Letonia. Îngrijorările s-au accentuat după ce în dimineața zilei de astăzi drone rusești au intrat în spațiul aerian al Poloniei și au fost doborâte de forțele armate poloneze.

To put this into perspective, US Debt-to-GDP has averaged ~69% over the last 50 years. The CBO projects that the budget deficit will exceed 5% of GDP every year until 2055. In US history, deficits this high have only occurred for 5-straight years one time, during World War II. The US debt crisis is set to get even worse. Worst Revision In History: BLS Admits A Record 911K Fewer Jobs Were Added Two weeks ago, before both Bloomberg and Reuters, we told our subscribers to "brace for another huge negative payrolls revision"... BLS reported that as part of its preliminary annual benchmark revisions, a record 911K payrolls for the period April 2024-March 2025 would be revised away last year's stunning 818K negative revision, which was the second biggest since the global financial crisis (and which we also warned ahead of time was coming), virtually nobody expected this year's number to be higher. It was not only higher, but it was the biggest negative revision on record! fake jobs numbers that were "created" by the Biden admin, and saddled Trump with relentless negative revisions. Expect 1-2 more months of painful job prints, and then another powerful rally higher into the 2026 midterms under a new BLS commissioner as all of Biden's fake baggage is expunged. Trump was absolutely correct to fire the BLS commissioner one month ago: one year of major negative revisions is happenstance; twice is coincidence; three times is enemy action... and in her case, it was just unexcusable incompetence as the most important economic data point the market uses was dead wrong. There was virtually no domestic job creation in the last year of the Biden admin when one excludes the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens who entered the work force. The Fed should have started cutting rates in February, and would have started cutting rates in February if it knew the true sad state of the US labor market. Just as remarkable: 2 million jobs from the last 3 years of the Biden admin have now been revised away.

Britain has a new Foreign Secretary, Yvette Cooper, and this week's episode dives into the UK's foreign policy and how it could in theory transcend some of the country's current political divides. To dig into this topic, Jane and Jason are joined by Michael Stephens, senior fellow at Global Nation and an associate fellow at RUSI. Mike's new report, ‘Rules Britannia' is being launched today, and is full of proposals for how Britain can help Order the Disorder. Mike and his co-authors are trying to build a broad consensus across political parties and traditions, to advance ‘a unifying vision of Britain's role in the world that is grounded in our national values'. Brits do generally see their country as one that can play a positive role in the world. But the recent years have lost that consensus with rival sloans: from Brexit and “Global Britain”, to the short-lived “tilt to the Indo-Pacific”, then the “NATO-first” approach of the strategic defence review. In short, recent British policy has been somewhat confused by the succession of different governments and foreign secretaries in the past few years. And as results British citizens do not feel current policy reflects their priorities. Delving into the topic, the panel talk about opportunities for the U.K. to play a leading role in areas that it's good at: rule of law, international finance and public health. These are the domains where there can be cross-party support rooted in a sense of Britain's comparative advantages. We also discuss why Ukraine has - so far - been a unifying cause for Brits, with successive prime ministers committed to supporting the country's independence with military assistance - in stark contrast to the US. And who else can Britain work with in a “global middle-power alliance” to “change the calculations of the rule-breakers that are currently upending the international order” (per the report), while also trying to persuade the US not to abandon that order wholesale? In one of the punchier moments of debate, Jason questions why migration is dominating the headlines and why no one right now in British politics seems to want to make the positive case for attracting the best talent from around the world.

Hyundai has invested billions in American manufacturing. Now the immigration arrests of hundreds of workers at one of its plants in Georgia have shaken its confidence, Business Insider says. Meanwhile, Reuters reports that the Trump administration is planning more workplace enforcement operations. Axios economics reporter Courtenay Brown joins to discuss what a recent disappointing jobs report tells us about the U.S. economy. A patchwork legal group is standing up to Trump in court and winning. The Atlantic’s Michael Scherer explains their strategy and why it’s working. Plus, Russia struck a government building in Kyiv, thousands marched in D.C. and Chicago in protest against Trump's use of federal agents for state law enforcement, and the men’s and women’s winners from the U.S. Open.

In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, we cover immigration raids from Boston to Savannah, the latest jobs report and economic culprits, Venezuela's narco-terror fight, China's alignment with Russia, Zelenskyy's swipe at Trump, and a Pentagon name change with global implications. Quick hits to launch your week with the facts shaping America's future. Immigration Crackdowns: Operation Patriot 2.0 launched in Massachusetts targeting violent criminals shielded by sanctuary laws. Trump teased Chicago raids with an “Apocalypse Now” meme, while a Savannah raid at Hyundai's mega-factory nabbed 475 illegals — the largest single-site operation in DHS history. Jobs Report Disappoints: Only 22,000 jobs were added in August, with revisions showing losses in June. Native-born employment is rising as 820,000 foreign workers have left, but debate rages over whether the culprits are Jerome Powell's high rates, Trump's tariff wars, Silicon Valley's AI revolution, or Biden's weak foundation. Venezuela Narco-Terror Strike Debate: Trump sank a Tren de Aragua drug boat, killing 11. Democrats and Sen. Rand Paul demand Coast Guard arrests, while Trump's War Secretary Pete Hegseth insists, “A drug cartel is no different than al Qaeda.” China, Russia, and India Align: Trump blasted, “Looks like we've lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest China.” Reuters revealed Beijing firms sold $50 million in drone parts and military supplies to Moscow, tightening the Xi-Putin alliance. Zelenskyy Criticizes Trump Over Alaska Summit: The Ukrainian president told ABC it was “a pity” Trump gave Putin legitimacy. Yet he admitted, “President Trump is right about the Europeans,” as EU nations import record Russian gas despite sanctions. Department of Defense Renamed: The White House rebrands it the Department of War, reflecting a more aggressive posture from Venezuela to Ukraine and the Pacific.

Send us a textAfter the Supreme Court's recent ruling in the US vs. Skrmetti case, trans youth and their families have been reeling. The decision upheld state bans on healthcare for trans youth, further stripping away life-saving care and deepening the fear and uncertainty so many of us and our kids already live with. Through it all, Mama Dragons has been here–holding families, offering comfort, and standing as a community of fierce love and unwavering support as this case has unfolded. Today In the Den, Sara sits down with special guests Sam Feder and Erin Reed to go behind the headlines and to explore the longer, more human story–one of courage, resistance, and the fight for dignity, a story that is powerfully told in the new documentary Heightened Scrutiny. This incredible film follows fearless civil rights lawyer Chase Strangio as he battles at the Supreme Court for transgender adolescents' access to gender-affirming healthcare, confronting not only the legal system but also a media landscape that distorts public perception and threatens the struggle for trans rights.

Je kent Project Beethoven nog wel. Het Rijk en de regio staken vorig jaar samen 2.5 miljard in onderwijs en infrastructuur om chiptrots ASML in Nederland te houden. ASML klaagde namelijk over het Nederlandse vestigingsklimaat en dreigde met vertrek naar Frankrijk, dat met industriepolitiek grote bedrijven wilde lokken. Maar waar het hart vol van zit, loopt de portefeuille van over. ASML kan niet stoppen met zijn Franse flirt. Het steekt even 1.3 miljard euro in het Franse AI-bedrijf Mistral. Wat betekent dat voor beide bedrijven? Wat krijgt ASML ervoor terug? En: is Mistral eigenlijk wel een partner van formaat? Verder herinnert u zich ook nog wel de Europese schuldencrisis. "Whatever it takes", zei ECB-baas Mario Draghi toen Griekenland, Italië, Spanje en andere Zuid-Europese landen hun broek amper nog op konden houden en de Euro uit elkaar dreigde te spatten. Dat is nu wel anders. De zuiderlingen lopen de Duitsers lachend voorbij op de beurs. Toch moet je tussen al die omhoog geschoten banken goed opletten wat je koopt. Tot slot bespreken we een stortvloed aan beursgangen in de VS. De dealmakers op Wall Street zitten te watertanden: ein-de-lijk weer dikke fees verdienen aan IPO's van datacenters, cybersecurity en... concertkaartjes?

Season 5, EPISODE 253 Blue Roan Quarter Horses For Sale: Superior Bloodlines, Disposition, and Conformation For over 77 years, the Froelich Legacy Quarter Horse program has been dedicated to raising Quarter Horses with the kind of conformation, color, and disposition that make them stand out in any setting. From ranch work to the show pen, our horses are bred to perform with steady minds, strong builds, and eye-catching color. Breeding Legacy: Blue Roans Before They Were Cool Our roan program began with the AQHA stallion McKeag, whose influence established us as respected breeders of rare and beautiful Blue Roans. McKeag's legacy continues through his son FQHR McLovin, who has proven to pass on an even stronger disposition than his sire. Customers often remark that McLovin foals are “born broke” with a natural work ethic—colts and fillies that simply need to be taught the buttons. Our Current Stallions FQHR McLovin – A direct McKeag son carrying forward his sire's stamp with even more disposition and trainability. His foals are known for their honest minds and ability to go straight to work. Siring horses that have excelled in versatility and having sired a 6-time world champion in roping. FQHR Conagher – A younger stallion quickly making his mark. His foals show outstanding conformation, muscle definition, and personable, loving natures that make them a joy to raise. LHR Smart Sugar Boon – A powerful performance cross on foundation blood. His pedigree ties back to legends like Peptoboonsmal and Smart Little Lena, bringing athleticism and cow sense while maintaining the kind of mind we demand in our program. Our focus today is on producing horses with balanced conformation, proven genetics, and minds that fit any rider. Whether for ranch work, arena competition, or simply a trusted partner to ride, Froelich Legacy Quarter Horses are bred to handle the job and look good doing it. Annual Quarter Horse Production Sale: 3rd Saturday of September The Froelich Legacy Quarter Horses program proudly offers Blue Roan Quarter Horses for sale each year during the annual production sale, traditionally held on the third Saturday in September. These horses are more than just beautiful—they bring together the ideal combination of athletic ability, trainability, and color that discerning buyers want. The breeding philosophy is simple: breed Quarter Horses we love to ride—selecting bloodlines from the greats to produce horses with the perfect balance of cow sense, athletic ability, and a steady temperament. Whether pulling calves to the branding iron, roping in the arena, or enjoying a relaxed evening trail ride, these colorful Quarter Horses continually prove their versatility.

Cattle Industry News Livestock Market Report & Outlook From Dr. Andrew Griffith The latest livestock comments from Livestock Marketing Specialist Dr. Andrew Griffith who said prices were strong for every class of animal offered on the market, which tends to bring optimism to all involved. This optimism leads to thoughts of expanding herd sizes to capitalize on the strong market. He continued by saying fed cattle traded unevenly steady last week. To put this market into perspective he asked the question, how many finished cattle does it take to purchase a new pickup truck? Assuming a 1,400-pound steer and an $80,000 pickup truck, it would take 23 head to have equal value. Using similar elementary math, it would have taken 27 head to purchase a similar yet slightly lower-priced truck in 2024, and it would have taken 25 to 26 head to purchase a similar pickup truck in 2021. This comparison means absolutely nothing other than the value of a finished steer has increased more than a pickup truck in relative terms. However, it is a rather small increase, relatively speaking. He wrapped up by saying how these relative prices change over time is not all that important. What is important is if cattle feeders are making money or not.

Monthly cow prices in 2025 have climbed steadily, rising from $126 in January to a record $157/cwt in July, highlighting a strong and consistent upward trend throughout the year. For perspective, prices were just $62 in 2019, meaning values have surged $81/cwt over six years or a 131% increase. Looking further back, cow prices were $43 in 2003, rising steadily over the next decade to peak at $107 in 2014 and $103 in 2015. That historic run was followed by a multi-year downturn before the current rally pushed prices to unprecedented levels. REFERENCES: https://www.nationalbeefwire.com/u-s-cattle-report New World Screwworm Soaring In Mexico Mexico's official count shows that New World screwworm is continuing to spread rapidly in the country, keeping the U.S. border closed to cattle imports and redirecting production to the Mexican packing industry. According to Mexican government data viewed earlier and cited by the Reuters news agency, Authorities had a tally of 5,086 cases through August 17, 53% more than July's total. The infestations were mostly afflicting cattle, though cases were also reported in sheep, horses and dogs. USDA last month reinstated a ban on Mexican livestock imports — the third halt since late 2024 to imports of cattle to U.S. feedlots and packers. The agency announced a $750-million sterile fly production facility in Texas to combat the flesh-eating parasite, which had been eradicated in North America for decades before a rapid march northward starting two years ago in Panama. In Texas alone, USDA estimates a screwworm outbreak could cost the state $1.8 billion in livestock deaths and other costs.

Ralph welcomes Palestinian-American writer, activist, and scientist Susan Abulhawa to discuss the ongoing Palestinian genocide and the evidence that supports a vastly higher death toll in Gaza.Susan Abulhawa is a Palestinian-American writer and political activist. She is the author of Mornings in Jenin—translated into thirty languages—and The Blue Between Sky and Water. Born to refugees of the Six Day War of 1967, she moved to the United States as a teenager, graduated in biomedical science, and established a career in medical science. In July 2001, she founded “Playgrounds for Palestine,” a non-governmental children's organization dedicated to upholding the Right to Play for Palestinian children.I consider this, first of all, immoral. It's disrespecting the Palestinian dead while they kill the Palestinians who are still alive with US bombers and artillery shells and other weapons coming from Washington, D.C. And it underestimates the kind of urgency that should be confronting this genocide.Ralph NaderThis is something that I think generations will study for a very long time to come. The complicity of Western media across the board is no less criminal than the genocide itself.Susan AbulhawaThis is a complete wiping out of life. A total destruction. And it's completely driven by this unfathomable hate and colonial arrogance and Jewish supremacy and this notion of entitlement. Of being favored by God, of being promised some real estate by a real-estate-agent Lord. I mean, it beggars belief the narratives that we see spoken in mainstream outlets and in the halls of power. Truly, it beggars belief.Susan AbulhawaNo, I don't believe Israel has a right to exist. It has never had a right to exist. No political entities have a right to exist. People have a right to exist. They have a right to exist in their own homeland with dignity. People have a right to universal dignity. A supremacist ideology—and that's ultimately what Zionism is predicated on, on supremacy and entitlement for a group of people at the detriment of another group of people—that is not a right, and it should never be a right. It should be anathema, in fact.Susan AbulhawaNews 9/5/25* The Intercept reports AIPAC has lost another Democratic ally in Congress. Congresswoman Deborah Ross of North Carolina has pledged that she will not accept AIPAC campaign contributions in her 2026 reelection bid. In previous elections, Ross has accepted over $100,000 in AIPAC donations. This comes on the heels of another North Carolina Congresswoman, Valerie Foushee – who received over $800,000 in AIPAC contributions – also renouncing donations from the group. As the Intercept notes, in June, the North Carolina Democratic Party adopted a resolution calling for a “complete arms embargo on all military aid to Israel until it ends its apartheid rule of Palestinians.” Dr. Paul McAllister, a reverend and chair of the Interfaith Caucus of the North Carolina Democratic Party, is quoted saying “AIPAC uses the muscle of their resources to oust anyone who disagrees with them regarding Israel, the conduct of Israel and the atrocities that may be committed by the government of Israel — so it is good that Deborah Ross is willing to recognize and acknowledge that.”* In more Israel news, a new aid flotilla bound for Gaza departed from Genoa, Italy last Sunday. Unlike previous flotillas however, this one carries the protection of a surprising group: Italian dockworkers. According to POLITICO EU, “Speaking at a rally on the docks of Genoa, one of Europe's largest ports, a dockworker representing the USB union said…‘Around mid-September, these boats will arrive near the coast of Gaza. If we lose contact with our boats, with our comrades, even for just 20 minutes, we will shut down all of Europe.'” Genoa has expressed unprecedented solidarity with Gaza. A food drive in the city collected “more than 300 tons of humanitarian aid…[and] over 40,000 people, including the city's mayor, Silvia Salis, joined a torchlit march through the streets in support of the [humanitarian flotilla on Saturday].” During the procession, Salis remarked “Every day I am proud to be the mayor of this city, but tonight, if possible, I am even more so.”* In yet another Israel story, Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, an Israeli cybersecurity apparatchik, who was arrested in August during an undercover operation “targeting child sex predators,” failed to appear for his court date in Nevada. Alexandrovich fled to Israel after being bailed out of jail in the U.S.; his lawyer, David Chesnoff, told the court that he told Alexandrovich not to attend the hearing. Judge Barbara Schifalacqua is now demanding that Alexandrovich appear before the court this week, but it remains to be seen whether he will actually show. This case has become politicized, with liberals and conservatives accusing one another of allowing Alexandrovich to flee the country. The government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu falsely denied that Alexandrovich was arrested at all. This from Al Jazeera.* In more sex predator news, Representatives Ro Khanna, Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor-Greene held a press conference this week with survivors of abuse at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein to push for full disclosure of the Justice Department's files on the case. At this conference, survivors also said they will release their own list of names. This comes amidst a renewed push for Congressional action spearheaded by the survivors. On Tuesday, the House Oversight Committee released a batch of records, but most of these have been made public before. The survivors met with lawmakers this week, including Speaker Mike Johnson, who said “I think the Oversight probe is going to be wide and expansive, and they're going to follow the truth wherever it leads,” per the Washington Post. Congresswoman Nancy Mace was also seen emerging from a meeting with the survivors visibly upset, though we do not know what exactly was discussed in this meeting. What is clear is that the Epstein story is not going away any time soon.* In local news, the National Guard has shared a statement with CBS News' Scott MacFarlane in which they boast that, “Guardsmen have cleaned more than 3.2 miles of roadways, collected more than 500 bags of trash, and disposed of three truckloads of plant waste.” Looking beyond the absurdity of deploying the National Guard to pick up trash, Samuel Littauer, Commissioner of ANC 3C01 – a local government district in Washington – crunched the numbers and found that “DC's cleaning crews cover around 81 miles/day for around $150K/day… [while the] National Guard has cleaned a total of 3.2 miles and costs more than $1M/day.” This means, “It's about 170X more cost efficient per mile to fund DC's existing work.”* Yet, despite the staggering inefficiency of the federal occupation – to say nothing of the outrageous, authoritarian government overreach – D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has signed an order outlining how the District will “continue to work with the U.S. Marshals Service, the FBI, U.S. Park Police, the Drug Enforcement Administration, [and] the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives,” according to WTOP. This report notes that, “Bowser's order provides a path for working with federal law enforcement…[a] public indication that federal law enforcement could remain in the city indefinitely.” Other D.C. officials, including the District's delegate in Congress Eleanor Holmes Norton, have decried the occupation. Unfortunately, Norton is not even afforded the power of a single vote in Congress. This debacle further underscores the necessity for sovereign statehood for D.C.* In more news of federal law enforcement overreach, Prem Thakker of Zeteo reports new figures that show, “61,226 people are currently in ICE detention — the highest number ever in US history.” Thakker goes on to report that “According to ICE data, 70% of these people have no criminal conviction.” This unjustifiable mass detention shows no signs of slowing down, with ICE being granted larger and larger budgets and more and more latitude by the administration. The parallels to other shadowy secret police organizations throughout history continue to grow more pronounced.* Labor Notes editor Luis Feliz Leon reports Columbia University is seeking to bust graduate worker unions – at Columbia and beyond. A statement from the union reads “Over the summer, the university expelled and suspended 80 students, eliminated all but ten…graduate instructor jobs, and filed an Unfair Labor Practice Charge that could reshape the future of higher ed.” This marks yet another blow to the august reputation of Columbia, already damaged by their authoritarian overreaction to pro-Palestine protests and their capitulation to borderline extortion by Trump.* In the federal government, Trump continues to attack critical safety regulators. Reuters reports, “Two of the three remaining commissioners at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the U.S. nuclear safety watchdog, told a Senate hearing on Wednesday they feel President Donald Trump could fire them if they obstruct his goal to approve reactors faster.” Trump, via executive order, has committed the United States to, “fast-tracking new reactor licenses and quadrupling U.S. nuclear energy capacity by 2050…while also reducing staffing at the NRC.” The Commission is already down to just three members from its usual five and according to this report, “a dozen senior level managers…have left or announced they will leave since January, and…143 staff departed between January and June.” The Commission is currently considering five reactor applications and “expects another 25 to 30 soon.” Whatever one's thoughts are on nuclear energy in general, it is wildly irresponsible and dangerous to consider these reactor proposals by a commission short-staffed and constantly threatened with dismissal.* Finally, the Government Accountability Project has submitted a stunning whistleblower complaint on behalf of Chuck Borges, Chief Data Officer at the Social Security Administration. This complaint concerns “serious data security lapses, evidently orchestrated by DOGE officials, currently employed as SSA employees, that risk the security of over 300 million Americans' Social Security data…including apparent systemic data security violations, uninhibited administrative access to highly sensitive production environments, and potential violations of federal privacy laws by DOGE personnel.” The most critical violation is the DOGE staffers' move to “create a live copy of the country's Social Security information in a cloud environment that circumvents oversight.” As this complaint explains, “This vulnerable cloud environment is effectively a live copy of the entire country's Social Security information…that…lacks any security oversight from SSA or tracking to determine who is accessing or has accessed the copy of this data.” This includes “all data submitted in an application for a United States Social Security card—including the name of the applicant, place and date of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, parents' names and social security numbers, phone number, address, and other personal information.” If this data were to be compromised – as is eminently possible given the unsecured and unsupervised nature of the cloud copy, “Americans may be susceptible to widespread identity theft, may lose vital healthcare and food benefits, and the government may be responsible for re-issuing every American a new Social Security Number.” This staggering degree of carelessness and incompetence is almost unbelievable, if not for the fact that it comports perfectly with the DOGE track record. We can only hope lawmakers and regulators take swift action to shut down this ticking timebomb of data before it's too late.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

A GROUP called the International Association of Genocide Scholars issued a statement this week declaring that Israel's war against Hamas met the criteria for genocide. Not so fast! The mainstream media not surprisingly ran with the story, but only the Washington Free Beacon did actual journalism, asking some obvious questions: Who are these people? How does one become a “genocide scholar”? How many people voted on the resolution to declare Israel guilty of genocide? It turns out there are about 600 members in the IAGS, and the only requirement to become a “genocide scholar” is paying a $125 fee. Passing a resolution to declare a genocide only requires a 20% quorum, meaning only 120 members have to vote. In this case, 129 dues-paying members of the IAGS cast ballots on the resolution, which based its findings on statistics provided by Hamas, and that was enough to convince the legacy media like AP, Reuters, Washington Post, and New York Times that Israel is committing genocide. It's a propaganda war, and Israel is losing. Also: Tucker Carlson thinks Hamas is a political organization; free speech is dead in the UK; President Trump was an FBI informant in the Jeffrey Epstein case (!); and the next blood moon.

U.S. warships killed 11 people on a suspected Venezuelan smuggling craft on Tuesday. Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested they had drugs bound for the U.S., and said Trump planned to “wage war” on drug cartels. Idrees Ali, a Pentagon correspondent for Reuters, has been exploring whether the administration's moves are legal. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sparred with Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill yesterday in a hearing before the Senate Finance Committee. Stat has the key takeaways. Democrats are looking to regroup and make a plan for the midterms as Congress returns. The Washington Post’s Marianna Sotomayor details the party’s efforts to redefine itself. Plus, Portugal is in mourning after 16 people died in a cable-car tragedy, Trump’s nominee for a role on the Federal Reserve board pledged to be independent, and how to buy Darth Vader’s lightsaber. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.
There's a growing expectation that the National Guard will soon be deployed to Chicago. It hasn't happened yet, but signs are pointing to it. Several weeks ago, the Guard was sent into Washington, D.C., and now there's enough time and distance to measure the results — carjackings down 80 percent, violent crime down over 30 percent. That's not just coming from the White House. Muriel Bowser, the Democratic mayor of D.C., is also saying it. She doesn't want to be on the wrong side of public sentiment. She's even making overtures to the White House about keeping some form of Guard presence to avoid a crime snapback.But Washington is a special case. It's a federal district, and its autonomy is only delegated by the government. Chicago is not. In a federal system, cities like Chicago are under the control of their state governments — in this case, the governor and mayor, neither of whom want the National Guard there. That's what makes this next move, if it happens, such a flashpoint. If Trump sends in the Guard — and I do believe it's a when, not an if — the legal and political battle will hinge on the how, the how many, and the where.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.And then there's the question of when they leave. Lawsuits will be filed. Injunctions will be issued. But I'm convinced this is going to happen because it's good politics for Trump. He sees the Nixon playbook from 1968 — using force to control urban unrest — and believes it worked then. He believes it'll work now. And if you look at the RealClearPolitics numbers, there's a logic to it.Trump is underwater by 9.3 points on foreign policy. On the economy, he's down 11.5. On inflation, it's nearly minus 20. The country doesn't think he's doing a good job on the issues that normally shape campaigns. Foreign policy numbers can shift — if hostages are released or a ceasefire happens in Ukraine, those could bounce. But economic sentiment is more stubborn. And the danger is that Trump falls into the same trap Biden did: saying the economy's fine while people feel like it's not.That disconnect isn't abstract. It's felt at the gas pump, at the grocery store. It's the pain of realizing you don't have the money to cover the tab, of pulling items from your cart while your kids ask why you're crying. It's a humiliating, personal experience, and telling people it's not real only makes it worse. Trump's not winning that argument.But he is closer on immigration. It's loud, it's polarizing, but he's only down 1.3 points in aggregate. Polls in August were a split: tied in Harvard Harris and YouGov, down eight in Reuters, up ten in Morning Consult. Two ties, two outliers. For an issue that gets as much airtime as immigration, that kind of polling tells you Trump's message still resonates.And then there's crime. The only issue where Trump is in the black — plus one. That's after the Guard was deployed to D.C. He sees this as the cornerstone of his pitch: what if government actually worked for you? What if America came first? He wants to frame Democrats as soft, as willing to defend criminals while waving spreadsheets that say crime is technically down. And he wants to pit that against your lived experience — that you don't feel safe, that your neighbor's car got broken into, that you hesitate before getting on the subway late at night.It's federally illegal. I believe the courts will eventually force a pullback. But not before Trump gets the message out. Because on this issue, unlike all the others, the American people are with him.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:04:40 - Trump Crime Ratings00:13:31 - Update00:16:23 - RFK Jr.00:23:21 - Eric Adams00:26:42 - Free Press Deal00:31:11 - Interview with Jen Briney01:04:29 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ FOR THIS WEEK'S "ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING" PODCAST WHICH DROPS SEPTEMBER 5 @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speakingAs we head toward this week's Pisces Full Moon lunar eclipse on September 7, we know we'll be seeing not only the emergence of the themes of this month's set of eclipses, but also the stark reality of how they are manifesting at this point in time. The themes of all eclipse series generally manifest within the collective before their arrival. And this month's eclipses—including tomorrow's September 7 Pisces Full Moon lunar eclipse which occurs at 15-degrees & 23-minutes of this empathic sign of collective energies at 11:09 a.m. PT & 2:09 p.m. ET—clearly illustrate this.It's been at least since February 21 when Attorney General Pam Bondi promised to release the Epstein “list.” Subsequent actions & reactions have taken place since, but the interest in bringing justice for the perpetrators of Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse of hundreds—if not thousands—of young girls & women—has been prominent in the news since.This month's set of eclipses—both the September 7 Pisces Full Moon lunar eclipse & the Virgo New Moon solar eclipse on September 21—carry the same themes. Eclipses generally belong to a set of two (sometimes three) which occur twice annually & are defined as a part of the longer-term Saros Series. Each series has its own interpretation.“This Saros Series appears to be concerned with the bringing to the surfaces of long-term worries about loved ones, health, or issues to do with paperwork or communication,” according to astrologer Bernadette Brady who's analyzed the meanings of Saros series eclipses in her book “Predictive Astrology, The Eagle And The Lark.”“This could manifest as a worrying piece of news about a loved one or responsibilities with paperwork coming home to roost. Any news will have a sense of destiny or fatedness about it,” she concludes.As those of us who pay attention know, “release the Epstein files!” has been a cry heard throughout the collective for months. However, it's as the themes of this eclipse series began to manifest that these cries have grown louder, to the point where survivors of Epstein & Maxwell's abuse whose health has suffered from it, have now decided to make themselves known the world.The survivors of Jeffrey Epstein & his convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell took to the steps of the U.S. Capitol on September 3--only days before the September 7 lunar eclipse--it was to implore Congress to pass the "Epstein Files Transparency Act." Doing so would “force the release of all unclassified records related to the disgraced financier held by President Donald Trump's administration,” according to Reuters. "This is about ending secrecy wherever abuse of power takes root," said Anouska De Georgiou, a former model and actress who was one of about ten self-described Epstein victims who spoke about her experience at a press conference outside the U.S. Capitol." Newsweek ran this story after reporting on what was said during this Epstein survivors' press conference on September 3, starting with this headline: “'We know the names'…Victims threaten to compile own list of abusers” The article continues: “ Jeffrey Epstein survivor Lisa Phillips said that she and fellow victims planned to compile their own list of abusers from within the disgraced financier's friends and associates, after the Trump administration denied the existence of an Epstein "client list." "We know the names. Many of us were abused by them," she said at Wednesday's Capitol Hill rally.”As Brady noted in her book about this series of eclipses: "Paperwork coming home to roost," anyone???Be sure to join us for all this Astro News You Can Use--& more about this series of eclipses—such as the years during which they occurred in the past, which might jog your memory as to whether they factored importantly into your life then! (I know they did mine!) In addition, we discuss the repercussions of Saturn's recent retrograde back into Pisces, the Mars in Libra square to Jupiter in Cancer, Uranus's station retrograde at 1-degree Gemini, & the events they've already triggered. As well as events related to the upcoming September 5/6 station of Uranus retrograde combined with its closeness to the September 7 lunar eclipse.These include the 6 magnitude earthquake in Afghanistan, which has caused 2,200 deaths to date, the defiance of international law by the Trump Administration when it “blew up” the Venezuelan boat it “suspected” of carrying drug cartel Tren de Aragua gang members & killing 11 aboard in international waters in defiance of internationally excepted maritime law (Saturn Rx in Pisces; Neptune still in Aries, anyone?)And then there's the number of legal cases ending Trump's unlawful use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport immigrants without due process by declaring the U.S. has been invaded & it “at war” & the judicial smackdown of his claim that he can unilaterally impose tariffs on any country he chooses without Congressional approval. And the judicially directed "unfreezing" of the $2.2 Billion the Trump Administration had withheld in funding from Harvard University.And…so…much…more!Tune in to “Karmic Evolution's Astrological Speaking” podcast, which drops today, September 5 @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speakingor on any of your favorite podcast stations for deeper astrological analysis of all this!

Political/Rights NEW: President Trump Fires ANOTHER San Francisco Immigration Judge Who Granted Asylum in Nearly Every Case
Congress is back from summer recess with a list of big priorities — and some come with tight deadlines. NBC’s Sahil Kapur tells us more. The landmark trial of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is approaching its conclusion. Manuela Andreoni, chief correspondent for Reuters in Brazil, speaks with us about the stakes of the case. The Trump administration has issued more than $6 billion in fines to immigrants that it says have ignored deportation orders. Now it’s coming to collect. Wall Street Journal reporter Jack Morphet has the story. Plus, the world's leading professional association of genocide scholars said Israel's actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of the crime, a federal judge ruled that Trump’s deployment of troops to L.A. was illegal, and the White House policy threatening fall’s favorite flavor. Today’s episode was hosted by Gideon Resnick.
In this episode of Passing Judgment, Jessica Levinson welcomes Reuters reporter Joseph Axe to discuss the intensifying battle over redistricting across the country. They examine Texas' unprecedented mid-decade redistricting push, California's proposed response, and the broader trend of overt partisan gerrymandering. The episode delves into what these changes mean for voters, political polarization, and the balance of power in Congress, highlighting how the fight over district lines could have lasting impacts on American democracy.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:What is Redistricting and Why It's Unusually Timely Now: The discussion highlights why redistricting is happening now, outside the normal decade cycle, mainly due to political pressure—specifically, former President Trump urging Texas to redraw its maps to increase Republican representation.The Texas Redistricting Battle: There's a deep dive into recent, unprecedented actions in Texas, where Republicans are seeking to replace a map they themselves passed just four years ago with one even more favorable to their party.Partisan vs. Racial Gerrymandering: Political gerrymandering is drawing lines to benefit a party (now effectively permitted by the Supreme Court), while racial gerrymandering—diluting the voting power of racial minorities—remains illegal, though often overlaps with partisan efforts.Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica
