Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) defended her choice on Wednesday to solicit donations following a vote to oust former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). The ouster of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as speaker has inflamed partisan tensions in the House at a time when bipartisanship will be necessary to keep the government open. Ukraine's controversial transgender spokesperson Sarah Ashton-Cirillo has claimed to have been reinstated in the role representing the Territorial Defence Forces (TDF) after being suspended last month. At least three global manufacturers of high-speed trains have shown interest in selling electric-powered trainsets to California, but more may weigh in as the state moves through its purchase process. This ambitious initiative aligns with a Scandinavian model of incarceration, emphasizing rehabilitation over punishment. While met with both support and skepticism, this shift signifies a significant step toward reimagining the entire prison system.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The razor manufacturing company Braun is being slammed for a “shockingly immoral” promo featuring a shirtless woman who identifies as transgender and has visible mastectomy scars. The Ukrainian military has announced that it has suspended controversial transgender spokesperson Sarah Ashton-Cirillo for allegedly making unapproved statements on social media; however, there have been no updates from the Ukrainians or the Biden administration on the fate of an American citizen journalist currently imprisoned in Ukraine. On Aug. 24th, 2021, the month of August was designated as “Transgender History Month” in San Francisco. This was thanks to the efforts of trans activist Jupiter Peraza and The Transgender District. As of Sept. 6th, August has been declared “Transgender History Month” in the entire state of California, thus making it the nation's first. Reps. Zach Nunn (R-IA) and Steve Cohen (D-TN) filed a bipartisan resolution to seize frozen Russian assets and use that money instead of U.S. taxpayer dollars to aid Ukraine in its reconstruction efforts from Russia's invasion of their country.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of The ZeroLine, host Sarah Ashton-Cirillo is joined by Jessica Berlin, Foreign Policy Analyst and Commentator. As a German-American dual national living in Germany, but who has spent time in Ukraine since Russia's invasion, Berlin provides a fascinating perspective on the various calculations and miscalculations by not only Russia, but the US and its NATO partners. From corruption in German and its dependency on Russia oil to what Berlin describes as fundamental misunderstandings of how to deter both Russia and China, Berlin doesn't let her patriotism color her clear view of what could have been done to prevent the invasion or to end the war quickly. She explains that our 30 years of “perceived stability” allowed us to “forget how to speak in the language of violence and power – the language dictators use to gain and hold power.” That loss of memory has enabled authoritarians to gain power around the globe – including in America.  Timestamps: [00:00:01] Transatlantic expert fights for Ukraine's freedom.
