In the early 1920s, Americans owned 80 percent of the world's automobiles and consumed 75 percent of the world's rubber. But only one percent of the world's rubber grew under the U.S. flag, creating a bottleneck that hampered the nation's explosive economic expansion. To solve its conundrum, the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company turned to a tiny West African nation, Liberia, founded in 1847 as a free Black republic. Empire of Rubber: Firestone's Scramble for Land and Power in Liberia (New Press, 2021) tells a sweeping story of capitalism, racial exploitation, and environmental devastation, as Firestone transformed Liberia into America's rubber empire. Historian and filmmaker Gregg Mitman scoured remote archives to unearth a history of promises unfulfilled for the vast numbers of Liberians who toiled on rubber plantations built on taken land. Mitman reveals a history of racial segregation and medical experimentation that reflected Jim Crow America—on African soil. As Firestone reaped fortunes, wealth and power concentrated in the hands of a few elites, fostering widespread inequalities that fed unrest, rebellions and, eventually, civil war. A riveting narrative of ecology and disease, of commerce and science, and of racial politics and political maneuvering, Empire of Rubber uncovers the hidden story of a corporate empire whose tentacles reach into the present. Gregg Mitman is the Vilas Research and William Coleman Professor of History, Medical History, and Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. An award-winning author and filmmaker, his recent films and books include The Land Beneath Our Feet and Breathing Space: How Allergies Shape Our Lives and Landscapes.

1. Clemency Controversy Involving Joe Biden Sources allege that in his final days in office, former President Joe Biden issued mass clemency orders using an autopen (an automated signature device). These clemency orders reportedly affected ~2,500 inmates, and were described by the White House as targeting nonviolent drug offenders. However, internal DOJ emails (particularly from Bradley Weinsheimer, a senior DOJ official) suggest: The language in the clemency warrants was vague and legally flawed. Some recipients were violent offenders, contradicting the White House’s public narrative. DOJ officials were confused and sought clarification from Biden, which they reportedly did not receive. 2. Examples of Alleged Violent Offenders The episode names individuals like Rushell Macintosh, Stephen Fowler, and Plays Anderson, claiming they committed violent crimes and were among those granted clemency. 3. Criticism of Biden’s Use of Autopen Biden defended the use of the autopen, saying he approved broad categories and left staff to apply them. The DOJ emails suggest uncertainty and disagreement within the administration about the legality and clarity of the orders. 4. Political Implications and Allegations The podcast connects this clemency issue to broader political themes: Allegations of DOJ politicization. Claims that Democrats are losing voter registration battles in 30 states. Accusations that Democrats are considering gerrymandering, amnesty, and counting undocumented immigrants to regain political ground. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

The phrase “old country store” has also been removed.The company said the colors in the logo were inspired by the chain's scrambled eggs and biscuits.The change is part of a “strategic transformation” to revitalize the brand that started back in May 2024. Under that mission, Cracker Barrel's brand refresh includes updates to visual elements, restaurant spaces and food and retail offerings.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Twin Cities scream club builds community through relieving stressHollie Carr started the group after seeing a Chicago scream club on TikTok. Many people found her group the same way.“Are you here to scream?” Hollie Carr asked people who strolled by her Sunday night as the sun began to set near the Cedar Nichols Trailhead in Burnsville.Carr founded Scream Club Twin Cities MN in early August. The group travels to different lakes, rivers and streams every week to scream across the water. And they're always looking for new participants.“Screaming is inclusive of everyone,” Carr said. “It doesn't matter what your issues are or what your stress is. Our goal is to scream in community.”Minnesota spent nearly $46,000 on welfare per person in poverty in 2023Every year, the U.S. Census Bureau publishes the Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances. This is the country's only source of state and local spending data, allowing a detailed state-by-state comparison. The survey also divides spending data into categories, making it possible to analyze which public services states prioritize.Overall, public welfare is the largest expenditure for most states. However, the level at which states prioritize assistance programs over other public services, such as roads and police, differs.Minnesota, for instance, has a massive welfare system, dedicating a larger share of its revenue to assistance programs than most states. Additionally, Minnesota ranks among the top states for poverty-adjusted welfare spending, making it one of the most generous in the nation. In 2022, Minnesota spent approximately $42,000 (in 2023 $) per person on poverty, ranking second-highest in the entire country.This trend continued in 2023, as newly released data from the U.S. Census Bureau reveals.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The game of golf is unique in many ways, but one of the most unique aspects is how every course is different. Some are links style, some are mountain courses, and then there are those traditional target golf courses. When you put them all together, it is what makes golf a beautiful game. The intricacies of each course can be one of the most attractive aspects of the game. To discuss this, and more, Kyle Surlow from the "Nice Grass, Nice People" podcast joins host Jeff Hartman for the latest Two-Man Scramble.

Alpha-gal syndrome is a type of food allergy. It makes people allergic to red meat and other products made from mammals.In the United States, the condition usually begins with the bite of the Lone Star tick. The bite transfers a sugar molecule called alpha-gal into the body. In some people, this triggers a reaction from the body's defenses, also called the immune system. It causes mild to severe allergic reactions to red meat, such as beef, pork or lamb. It also can cause reactions to other foods that come from mammals, such as dairy products or gelatins.The Lone Star tick is found mainly in the southeastern United States. Most cases of alpha-gal syndrome are reported in the south, east and central United States. But the condition appears to be spreading farther north and west. Deer are carrying the Lone Star tick to new parts of the country. Other types of ticks carry alpha-gal molecules in different parts of the world. Alpha-gal syndrome has been diagnosed in parts of Europe, Australia, Asia, South Africa, and South and Central America.Some people may have alpha-gal syndrome and not know it. There are people who often have serious allergic reactions, also called anaphylactic reactions, for no clear reason. Tests also show that they don't have other food allergies. Researchers think that some of these people may be affected by alpha-gal syndrome.There's no treatment other than avoiding red meat and other products made from mammals. If you have a serious allergic reaction, you may need medicine called epinephrine and treatment at the emergency room.Avoid tick bites to prevent alpha-gal syndrome. Wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts when you're in wooded, grassy areas. Use bug spray too. Check your whole body for ticks after you spend time outside.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

American Eagle sparks backlash for touting Sydney Sweeney's 'great jeans'American Eagle's “great jeans” advertising campaign with actor Sydney Sweeney is at the center of the latest political firestorm online, drawing accusations of racial undertones in its messaging.Sweeney, who rose to fame for her starring roles in HBO's “Euphoria” and “The White Lotus,” is the star of the clothing retailer's latest denim-focused fall campaign, with the tagline, “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.”It's a play on words for Sweeney's “great genes.” Indeed, in one clip, which accrued more than 1.1 million views on American Eagle's Instagram page, Sweeney stands before a poster of herself titled, “Sydney Sweeney has great genes,” before the word “genes” is crossed out and replaced with “jeans.”Round-the-world walker prepares for home stretchA man hoping to become the first person to complete an unbroken round-the-world walk is preparing for the last leg of his journey.Karl Bushby set off from Chile in 1998. Since then he has walked across American and Asian continents, swam 186 miles (300km) across the Caspian Sea and fought off ice lumps and polar bears through the Bering Strait, all without using any form of transport.The former paratrooper has less than 2,000 miles (3219km) left to walk before he arrives at his home city of Hull.Mr Bushby, who is currently in Mexico waiting for a visa to complete his challenge, has said returning home will be a "very strange place to be" after being away for some 27 years.Following his 31-day swim across the Caspian Sea last year, Mr Bushby said he continued his journey to Azerbaijan and then through to Turkey.The traveller, originally from Sutton Park, said he "had to step aside" from his mission, named the Goliath Expedition, while he waited for a visa.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

After Congress approved President Donald Trump's clawback of funds distributed through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, tribal stations are frantically searching for money to keep from going dark. Tribes are stepping up in some cases, audiences are responding with increased donations, and the stations are scaling back their operations. In the meantime, higher education officials are worried about a Trump budget plan to cut federal funding to tribal colleges and universities by nearly 90%. Representatives from some of those institutions say they will have to significantly scale back their operations. Others say they will have to close outright. We'll get more detail on both of these major funding changes.
Mike Welch tournament director for the 3M Open taking place next week. Get your tickets hereFeds execute search warrants connected to ‘massive scheme to defraud' a Minnesota housing programAlpha News was on location as a search warrant was being served at several locations related to a “massive scheme to defraud” Medicaid and Minnesota's Housing Stabilization Services (HSS) program.According to the search warrant, the fraud investigation involves HSS providers who billed for various services intended to provide stable housing for Minnesotans.The search warrant states, “The Program has proved to be extremely vulnerable to fraud.”The vulnerability stems from limited requirements for service providers and the vast services they can provide for Medicaid reimbursement.“Since Minnesota became the first state to offer Medicaid coverage for Housing Stabilization Services, dozens of new companies have been created and enrolled in the program. These companies, and the individuals who run them, have taken advantage of the housing crisis and the drug addiction crisis in Minnesota to prey on individuals who need help getting back on their feet as they recover from drug addiction,” the warrant says.“These companies and individuals do so by contacting Medicaid-eligible people in halfway houses and residential drug treatment facilities and offering to help them find stable housing. After registering these people to receive housing stabilization services, the companies fraudulently claim to provide dozens of Program service hours to their new ‘clients.' In reality, client after client has reported that they received little or no actual services or assistance from these companies. But the companies engaged in this scheme have received millions of dollars in Medicaid funds for housing stabilization services they did not actually provide,” it continues.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
