America is turning 250. And we're throwing a yearlong celebration of the greatest country on Earth. The greatest? Yes. The greatest. We realize that's not a popular thing to say these days. Americans have a way of taking this country for granted: a Gallup poll released earlier this week shows that American pride has reached a new low. And the world at large, which is wealthier and freer than it has ever been in history thanks to American power and largesse, often resents us. We get it. As journalists, we spend most of our time finding problems and exposing them. It's what the job calls for. But if you only focus on the negatives, you get a distorted view of reality. As America hits this milestone birthday, it's worthwhile to take a moment to step back and look closely at where we actually are—and the reality of life in America today compared to other times and places. That reality is pretty spectacular. Could Thomas Jefferson and the men gathered in Philadelphia who wrote down the words that made our world—“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”—ever have imagined what their Declaration of Independence would bring? The Constitution. The end of slavery—and the defeat of Hitler. Astonishing wealth and medical breakthroughs. Silicon Valley. The most powerful military in the world. The moon landing. Hollywood. The Hoover Dam. The Statue of Liberty (a gift from France). Actual liberation (a thing we gave France). Humphrey Bogart and Tom Hanks. Josephine Baker and Beyoncé. Hot dogs. Corn dogs. American Chinese food. American Italian food. The Roosevelts and the Kennedys. The Barrymores and the Fondas. Winston Churchill (his mom was from Brooklyn). The Marshall Plan and Thurgood Marshall. Star Wars. Missile-defense shields. Baseball. Football. The military-industrial complex. Freedom of religion. UFO cults. Television. The internet. The Pill. The Pope. The automobile, the airplane, and AI. Jazz and the blues. The polio vaccine and GLP-1s, the UFC and Dolly Parton. The list goes on because it's really, truly endless. Ours is a country where you can hear 800 languages spoken in Queens, drive two hours and end up among the Amish in Pennsylvania. We are 330 million people, from California to New York Island, gathered together as one. Each of those 330 million will tell you that ours is not a perfect country. But we suspect most of them would agree that their lives would not be possible without it. So for the next 12 months, we're going to toast to our freedoms on the page, on this podcast and in real life. And we're doing it the Free Press way: by delving into all of it—the bad and the good and the great, the strange and the wonderful and the wild. And today—on America's 249th birthday—we're kicking off this yearlong event with none other than Akhil Reed Amar. Akhil has a unique understanding of this country—and our Constitution. Akhil is a Democrat who testified on behalf of Brett Kavanaugh, is a member of The Federalist Society, who is pro-choice but also anti-Roe—and these seeming contradictions make him perfectly suited to answer questions about the political and legal polarization we find ourselves in today. Akhil is a constitutional law professor at Yale and the author of the brilliant book The Words That Made Us: America's Constitutional Conversation, 1760–1840. He also hosts the podcast Amarica's Constitution, and you might recognize his name from his work in The Atlantic. I ask him about the unique history that created our founding document, the state of the country, our political polarization, the American legal system, and what this country means to him.

In this episode of The Olympia Standard, we dive into the debate over who and what deserves a statue on Washington's capitol campus. As the state grapples with the future of its Marcus Whitman monument, we explore the deeper meanings behind public memorials, the myths they enshrine, and the process (or lack thereof) for removing them. From the racist legacy embedded in the Whitman statue to the forgotten controversy over Governor John Rogers, we argue that it's not only okay to take statues down, it's sometimes the most historically honest thing we can do.

In hour 2, Spadoni and Shasky reflect on Larry Baer's comments that insinuated that Barry Bonds will get a statue. What makes a player eligible for a statue in your mind and who should be the next one in the Bay Area beside Steph Curry?

Steph Curry will get a statue someday, and we learned yesterday that the Barry Bonds statue is on the way as well. Who else is in line to get a statue somewhere in the Bay Area?

We kept the conversation going about Barry Bonds and the ‘steroid era' of baseball. We defended the players from this era and players like Bonds because some of them were truly some of the greatest we ever saw play.

We defended the players from this era and players like Bonds because some of them were truly some of the greatest we ever saw play. MLB insider Bob Nightengale from USA Today joined the show. Bob was the first to indicate that the Cubs contacted the Pirates about Mitch Keller. Bob explained how much Keller could fetch in a trade, saying ‘people like a lot' even though he's not an ace of a staff. Bob thinks Keller would return a Top 5-10 prospect in another team's system because people are reluctant to trade away their prospects. Bob said there is a lot of interest in Isiah Kiner-Falefa around the league as the deadline approaches. He believes David Bednar will garner plenty of interest within the next month as well. Did the Pirates make a mistake not firing Ben Cherington after last season? Bob thinks the Pirates adding a few offensive pieces could get them to a legit level given the pitching they already have. Bob firmly said the Pirates have not made Oneil Cruz available. Donny Football Debrief – Justin Tucker has been suspended 10 games. He's currently not on a roster. Is his career over?

On Wednesday's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett is joined by Jim Moore, the Go-2-Guy for his normal Wednesday appearance.

Who do yo think should have a statue?

Looks like the city of Brandon is sending out text messages gauging peoples interest in moving the civil war statue, but for some reason they decided to also ask people race as part of their questioning. I of course don't play that game so I said I was a black woman that wanted it moved

A photo of the artist: Judith Simonian with Charles Yuen Many of Simonian's works in the exhibition at JJ MURPHY Gallery are still lifes, such as “Marysia's Salon” (2024), which was inspired by a visit to a Polish beauty parlor in her East Village neighborhood. “Bottle Symphony in Red” (2023) recalls Giorgio Morandi. Whereas Morandi's still lifes are a delicate arrangement of vases, jugs, bowls, urns, and bottles, painted in muted colors—whites, browns, and tans—set against a neutral background, Simonian bombards our senses through her use of high-intensity reds, pinks, blue-greens, grays, blacks, and yellow ochre. In “Inside Outside” (2023), the artist similarly portrays a room as an expressionistic whirlwind of vivid colors. Simonian's paintings deal with intervals, or the spaces between points. Simonian's still lifes often open up an interior space to an exterior one. In “Marysia's Salon,” a photograph tacked on the wall suggests the world outside. “Bobby Pins of Manhattan” (2023-24) provides a glimpse of the city skyline through the window, including the landmark Empire State Building. “Cat in the Lamp” (2024) depicts a black cat inside an illuminated yellow lampshade in front of a large window that overlooks water. Simonian employs careful framing to create meaning. It is possible to view several of her landscape paintings as political allegories. In "Greener Pastures" (2025), the shimmering image of the Statue of Liberty appears to be a mirage, while green brushstrokes seem to hint at water on deck or maybe even a school of fish. "Resting on Her Side" (2024) depicts rocky terrain and the bleak spectacle of a capsized ship. Judith Simonian has had solo exhibitions of her work at 1GAP, Brooklyn; Edward Thorp Gallery, New York City; and John Davis Gallery in Hudson, NY. Her work has been shown in numerous museums, including The New Museum, NYC; MoMA/PS1, NYC; Islip Museum, NY; Montclair Art Museum, NJ; Weatherspoon Art Museum, NC; San Francisco Museum of Art, CA; Santa Barbara Museum of Art, CA; Newport Harbor Art Museum, CA; and the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, WI. Simonian has been awarded many prestigious honors, including a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship, an Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation Individual Support Grant, and a National Endowment for the Arts Grant. She received her BA and MA degrees from California State University, Northridge. The artist lives and works in New York City.

Parental discretion is strongly advised.IN THIS EPISODE: If you came of age in Baltimore during the 50s and 60s, you probably heard the talk about Druid Ridge Cemetery's most famous grave marker. Just about everyone knew about “Black Aggie,” the statue of a draped, melancholy and mysterious woman seated at the Agnus family plot in the south-facing side of the cemetery in Pikesville. Word was that her stony eyes turned red at night. Sit on her lap at midnight and you would meet your own end within two weeks. Teens, often fueled by beer and bravado, travelled to Druid Ridge at night to test the rumor. It was terrifying, exhilarating and the stuff of Baltimore urban legends for years. By 1967, she was she had disappeared. We'll look at the legend of Black Aggie. (Black Aggie) *** The story of Morrow Road is one of Michigan's oldest and most enduring legends. There are many versions of the legend – but all of them contain two disturbing elements… a missing child, and a ghostly mother desperately looking for him. But the tragedy doesn't end there – as there have been some harrowing experiences for those who have gone searching for the spectral mother. (The Grieving Ghost of Morrow Road) *** Asylum 49, formerly the Tooele Hospital in Utah, is a place where the lines between the living and the dead blur in terrifying ways. Half abandoned medical facility turned haunted attraction, half functioning retirement home, this schizophrenic building is home to spectral nurses, mischievous child spirits, and a sinister man in black… and not just for Halloween – but all year round. The old hospital's haunted reputation has even drawn ghost hunters and mediums who claim it hides a portal to another dimension. (Asylum 49 – A Haunted Haunted Attraction) *** A family moves into a new home only to find they aren't alone. Items began disappearing, then reappearing later. The lights would turn on and off on their own. Typical poltergeist activity – but when they started to do renovations to the home, the paranormal activity escalated… and after some investigation, they found their ghost had a very sad story to tell.

This week, Andrew takes us through Nebuchadnezzar's dream of a great statue and Daniel's bold interpretation. Through the story Andrew reminds us how human kingdoms rise and fall, but God's kingdom though unimpressive by worldly standards lasts forever.

It's the end of everything! Welcome back to Part 2 of our season finale featuring Dr. Charles Liu, co-host Allen Liu, and our guest archaeology expert and author, Hannah Liu, MEd. (If you haven't caught up to Part 1, we highly recommend you do before embarking on the next leg of this journey! Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts!) We pick right up where we left off, with the next question from our audience. Daniela asks, “If a black hole hits the Sun, will Earth be destroyed?” Chuck explains a few ways a black hole can mess with our day, including the fact that long before any actual collision took place, the Sun would start shedding material that would destroy us. He compares that unlikely event to the actual example of cosmic destruction we're watching in NGC 4676 – aka “The Mice” – which are two galaxies swirling together in a death spiral playing out over hundreds of millions of years. Naturally, this leads Chuck to ponder what happens when civilizations fall apart here on Earth, and Hannah brings up the collapse of the Roman Empire. As she explains, “the fall of Rome happened a lot of times, and also, no time.” From 44 BCE and the assassination of Julius Caesar, to the 476 invasion and conquest of Rome by the Germanic tribes denoted by Edward Gibbon in The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, to the fact ever since nations have claimed to be the descendants or inheritors of Rome. Chuck points out the influence of Gibbon's book on Isaac Asimov's “Foundation” series, followed by a very quick romp through “Decline and Fall of America” literature including The Handmaid's Tale, A Canticle for Liebowitz, Man in the High Castle, and the zombie apocalypse tour de force, World War Z. Then it's time for another question from the audience: Michael says, “I heard that scientists brought back a dire wolf. Could they bring back dinosaurs or animals that could destroy us all?” It turns out, these resurrected animals are just gray wolves that have been engineered to have some characteristics of the extinct predator. It's still a pretty impressive feat, though, and you'll hear how they collected bits and pieces of dire wolf DNA to “resurrect them.” Allen also brings up similar modification experiments they're doing on chickens to make them more dinosaur-like. Allen points out that bioengineered germs are far more likely to cause our destruction than resurrected dinosaurs, regardless of the world envisioned in the Jurassic Park franchise. And speaking of Michael Crichton, Chuck gives us a breakdown of his sci-fi classic, The Andromeda Strain, about bacteria from space that cause a biological outbreak here on Earth. Hannah points out that historically, some of the biggest killers of human beings have been plagues. She gives us a guided tour of the bubonic plagues, from the Black Death, which may have wiped out as much as 60% of the population of Europe, to the Plague of Justinian a thousand years earlier that killed as many as 100 million people, while also name dropping the Antonine Plague and the Spanish Flu!) And that's it Season 4 of The LIUniverse. Stay tuned for Season 5 after the summer.

Ils sont plus de 800 000 Vénézuéliens à vivre aux États-Unis. Mais depuis le retour de Donald Trump au pouvoir, leur quotidien a basculé. Entre durcissement des lois migratoires et suspicion généralisée, beaucoup se sentent désormais indésirables. Comment cette situation est vécue depuis Caracas ? C'est un reportage de notre correspondante Alice Campaignolle. Depuis le 9 juin 2025, le Venezuela fait officiellement partie des 12 pays visés par le nouveau « travel ban » américain. Les visas de tourisme, d'études ou encore de commerce sont suspendus, et Caracas a réagi en lançant une alerte maximale à ses citoyens, les appelant à ne plus voyager aux États-Unis. « Pays dangereux », avertit le ministère des Affaires étrangères vénézuélien. Pour les Vénézuéliens déjà sur place, la situation est de plus en plus précaire : leur statut spécial de protection a été supprimé, et une nouvelle mesure pourrait bientôt leur interdire de demander un permis de travail pendant leur procédure d'asile. Sur le terrain, cette politique migratoire se traduit par des contrôles renforcés, des séparations familiales et une ambiance de peur permanente. Des familles entières voient leurs dossiers d'asile traités de manière incohérente. La militante Hélène Villalonga alerte sur une vague d'injustices qui frappe sa communauté. Des enfants sont autorisés à rester, tandis que leurs parents sont expulsés ou placés en détention. Même des Vénézuéliens qui avaient soutenu Donald Trump, espérant une ligne dure contre le régime de Nicolas Maduro, se sentent aujourd'hui trahis et abandonnés. Franyeli Zambrano, expulsée récemment, raconte l'angoisse du quotidien : malgré un statut régulier, son foyer a été pris pour cible par les autorités. Elle dénonce une chasse aux migrants qui touche même ceux parfaitement intégrés. Ce durcissement inquiète d'autant plus que Donald Trump a promis d'expulser un million de migrants sans documents valides au cours de sa première année de mandat. Si ce chiffre semble irréaliste, plus de 5 000 Vénézuéliens ont déjà été renvoyés dans leur pays depuis janvier. La Statue de la Liberté fête son 140ème anniversaire Cette semaine, les États-Unis célèbrent les 140 ans de l'arrivée de la Statue de la Liberté à New York, un monument emblématique offert par la France, symbole universel de liberté et d'accueil. Pourtant, dans l'Amérique de 2025, ces valeurs sont fortement bousculées. Beaucoup de New-Yorkais interrogés par notre correspondante Loubna Anaki voient un profond décalage entre ce que représente la statue et la réalité politique actuelle, marquée par un durcissement migratoire sans précédent sous l'administration Trump. La contradiction est flagrante : alors que la statue accueillait autrefois les migrants venus chercher une vie meilleure, les États-Unis multiplient désormais les expulsions et les interdictions d'entrée. Le célèbre poème gravé sur son socle – un appel aux pauvres et opprimés du monde – semble trahi par les décisions prises par Donald Trump.   Malgré ce contexte tendu, « Lady Liberty » continue de fasciner. Chaque jour, des milliers de visiteurs affluent pour la voir de près, émerveillés par sa taille, sa couleur verte inattendue, ou l'histoire qu'elle incarne. Créée par le sculpteur français Bartholdi avec l'aide de Gustave Eiffel, la statue est arrivée en 1885 mais n'a été inaugurée qu'un an plus tard. Si elle est restée presque inchangée en 140 ans, elle demeure le témoin silencieux d'un pays en perpétuelle évolution – et aujourd'hui plus divisé que jamais sur la question de l'immigration. Donald Trump critique le jour férié de « Juneteenth », la fête qui célèbre la fin de l'esclavage Dans un message publié sur ses réseaux sociaux, le président américain a dénoncé ce qu'il appelle « trop de jours fériés » aux États-Unis. Selon lui, cela coûte des milliards à l'économie, et même les travailleurs n'en voudraient pas. Il a menacé d'en supprimer certains, sans nommer directement Juneteenth. Mais The Daily Beast rappelle qu'en 2020, en pleine campagne électorale, Trump avait promis d'en faire un jour férié national. C'est finalement Joe Biden qui l'a officialisé en 2021. Et selon CNN, cette année, beaucoup de célébrations ont été annulées, en raison de problèmes de sécurité et d'une résistance croissante aux politiques de diversité et d'inclusion. Pour la professeure LaTasha Levy, citée par la chaîne, ces reculs montrent que nombre d'entreprises n'étaient jamais réellement engagées. Mais Politico rapporte que les églises noires, très actives dans la lutte pour les droits civiques, montent au front. Elles interpellent les grandes entreprises, comme Target, accusées de reculer sur leurs engagements. Le pasteur Jamal Bryant, en Géorgie, rappelle que ces politiques ne sont pas un geste de charité, mais un partenariat légitime avec la communauté afro-américaine. La montée de la violence policière dans les zones rurales C'est une tribune à lire dans le Washington Post, signée par un ancien policier. Elle s'ouvre sur un drame : en 2022, un homme en détresse mentale appelle la police après une panne sur une route isolée du Colorado. Il ne menace personne. Mais parce qu'il refuse de sortir de son véhicule, les policiers lui tirent dessus et le tuent. L'an dernier, 1 365 personnes ont été tuées par la police aux États-Unis – un record. Et ce qui frappe, c'est que ces violences basculent vers les zones rurales. Entre 2020 et 2024, les morts lors d'interventions pour « personne armée » ont presque quadruplé en zone rurale. Pourquoi ? La pandémie, l'exode urbain et la flambée des loyers ont poussé des millions d'Américains vers la campagne. Mais les services locaux n'ont pas suivi. Les policiers de petites villes sont dépassés, mal formés, souvent seuls face à des situations complexes. Résultat : la méfiance s'installe, et les incidents quotidiens – une dispute conjugale, un chien qui aboie – tournent au drame.   Haïti : Livres en folie, « un vecteur de résistance culturelle » C'est dans un contexte d'insécurité extrême que se tient en ce moment, à Port-au-Prince, la foire littéraire Livres en folie. Plus de 90 auteurs présents, plus de 1000 ouvrages exposés. Cette 31è édition s'impose, écrit Gazette Haïti, comme un véritable « vecteur de résistance culturelle dans le pays ». Dès l'ouverture, c'est la jeunesse qui a attiré tous les regards, venue en nombre pour découvrir les livres et rencontrer les écrivains. Pour l'auteur Gary Victor, cette jeunesse incarne l'espoir. « Il existe un réservoir de jeunes porteurs d'idées, qui aspirent à une autre vie. ». Des mots forts, qui résonnent comme un rappel essentiel, écrit Gazette Haïti. : « malgré les épreuves, malgré le chaos, Haïti continue de tenir debout… portée par l'élan de ses enfants ».   Journal de la 1ère Les algues sargasses empoissonnent la vie des habitants de Guadeloupe.

Still the tallest statue in the USA, the Statue of Liberty arrived from France - in no less than 214 crates - in New York City on 17th June, 1885. Costing just $10m in today's money, the Lady went on to symbolise the immigrant journey - even though the designers and engineers behind it had no such intention. And it wasn't supposed to be green, either - that's because it's oxidized. In this episode, Olly, Rebecca and Arion consider whether NYC bagged themselves a bargain, reveal the origins of the ‘ticker tape parade', and wonder if they could ever do something so epic for their Mums...
