Pardons, Pipe Bombs and the Campaign to Make You Forget. Stephen Miller: “Greenland Should be Part of the US” What About the War Crimes? Maduro Arraigned. Trump's Runaway Train Effect. Congrats, Montana St.  On the fifth anniversary of January 6th, Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff broadcasts from a dark, gloomy New York City morning that looks and feels like the day the Capitol was attacked—and he refuses to let America forget what really happened. He opens with a raw reflection on how Trump's insurrection shattered his own family's memories of the date, then tears into Trump's runaway war footing across the Western Hemisphere, from Venezuela to Cuba, Colombia and even Greenland, and a cowardly Congress that won't assert its War Powers responsibilities or even demand answers on alleged war crimes and wounded U.S. troops.​ On this somber anniversary, Paul is joined by the “great and powerful” Scott MacFarlane, CBS News justice correspondent and arguably the most trusted reporter on January 6th in America. Reporting from inside the Cannon House Office Building, Scott reveals that Republican leadership is doing nothing official to mark the day—no memorials, no floor speeches, no shared remembrance for officers who were beaten, gassed, traumatized or killed—creating what he calls a real‑time whitewashing of history, as he details the emotional toll on Capitol Police and congressional staff who hid under desks, called their families, and then came back to work in the same halls that were under siege. He breaks down the state of accountability now: mass clemency for more than 1,500 rioters, pardons that wiped away cases even for people not yet arrested, halted and refunded restitution payments, the new pipe‑bomb arrest outside the RNC and DNC, the slow grind of the Maduro case, and how denialism has shifted from rejecting the 2020 result to denying the insurrection itself.​ Paul zooms out to connect Trump's unchecked global strikes, the risk of another government shutdown, the dissolution of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting after 58 years of funding PBS, NPR and local stations, and new efforts in New York to require teaching January 6th alongside 9/11 to kids growing up in a time when that history is being rewritten. He spotlights independent veteran Senate hopeful Ty Pinkins of Mississippi and reminds listeners why Independent Veterans of America was created to back patriots like him, then rounds out the episode with culture and sports—from the X‑Men's big‑screen return to Montana State's first FCS title in 41 years and the power of football as one of America's last shared rituals—before he and Scott close by saluting the officers and staffers who “stood the line” on January 6th. For everyone tired of partisan gaslighting who knows January 6th was real and still matters, this is a home for country over party, people over politics, and light over heat—and a call to subscribe, share, support independent media, and stay vigilant, especially on January 6th.

2026-01-05 | UPDATES #089 | Odesa goes dark: Russia's winter energy war hits Ukraine's Black Sea lifeline Odesa. It is of course a deliberate use of terror and a war crime, but a core part of Russia's attritional and psychological strategy. Odesa is a frontline city without a frontline. In this part of Ukraine, it's a war of transformers, not of artillery, and this is the deliberate logic of an aggressor that cannot make significant gains on the battlefield, so tries to win advantages by freezing people in the winter darkness.Russia's sustained targeting of Ukrainian energy infrastructure is hammering cities across the country this winter, but Odesa may be taking some of the worst hits. Over the New Year period, Odesa and the surrounding region were hit by renewed drone attacks that struck not only residential buildings but also energy and logistics infrastructure. Reuters reported regional authorities saying: “Strike drones attacked residential, logistics and energy infrastructure in our region.”----------SOURCES: Kyiv Independent (Dec 31, 2025) — “'Russia is targeting civilians' … Odesa … outages reported”https://kyivindependent.com/russia-is-targeting-civilians-russian-drones-strike-residential-building-in-odesa-outages-reported/Reuters (Dec 31, 2025) — “Four injured, including three children in Russian attack on Odesa, Ukraine says” https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/four-injured-including-three-children-russian-attack-odesa-ukraine-says-2025-12-31/Reuters (Jan 1, 2026) — “Ukraine condemns Russian new year drone attack on power infrastructure” https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/ukraine-condemns-russian-new-year-drone-attack-power-infrastructure-2026-01-01/Ukrinform (Jan 1, 2026) — “Russian attacks cause new power outages in three regions” (Ukrenergo statement) https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/4075663-russian-attacks-cause-new-power-outages-in-three-regions.htmlUNN (Jan 5, 2026) — “Ukrainians face power outages on January 6” (Ukrenergo referenced)https://unn.ua/en/news/ukrainians-face-power-outages-on-january-6Ukrainska Pravda (Dec 31, 2025) — “Energy workers report significant power outages…” (Ukrenergo quotes) https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/12/31/8014130/----------Silicon Curtain is a part of the Christmas Tree Trucks 2025 campaign - an ambitious fundraiser led by a group of our wonderful team of information warriors raising 110,000 EUR for the Ukrainian army. https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/christmas-tree-trucks-2025-silicon-curtainThe Goal of the Campaign for the Silicon Curtain community:- 1 armoured battle-ready pickupWe are sourcing all vehicles around 2010-2017 or newer, mainly Toyota Hilux or Mitsubishi L200, with low mileage and fully serviced.

Following overnight U.S. airstrikes on Caracas, the seizure of President Nicolás Maduro, and President Donald Trump's declaration that Washington will take control of Venezuela's oil and effectively run the country, analysts Steve Ellner and Ricardo Vaz warn that the operation constitutes an unlawful use of force. They cite the combination of military assault, extraterritorial abduction, resource seizure, and alleged extrajudicial killings at sea as violations of international law and Venezuelan sovereignty.

If you want 2025 in a nutshell, it doesn't get much better than a blundering Secretary of Defense bragging that the Pentagon bought an expensive, bespoke AI bot and it immediately started calling out the Trump administration for committing war crimes. As the legal industry ventures into a hallucinatory AI frontier, it's worth remembering that sometimes the bots outperform the human lawyers. At the Supreme Court, Justice Sotomayor tries to convince her colleagues not to blow up the federal government over a theory concocted in the 1970s. Sadly, she's fighting the wrong fight. And in a world of mergers -- especially cross-border mergers -- we have a reminder that sometimes it doesn't work out.

America is being dragged into another bloody, senseless war with Venezuela so the Rothschild cabal and Israel can steal their oil while your kids get sacrificed to the beast system. Scottie Nell Hughes joins Stew to blow the lid off this treason. We've been lied to every day since Charlie Kirk was assassinated in broad daylight, with the government, media, and influencers pushing a fake narrative to protect the real killers. On The Stew Peters Show, we're exposing the cabal, the contaminated crime scenes, and the Jewish operatives behind it all, because the truth about this spiritual war for our nation's survival won't be silenced.   John Jubilee joins Stew to expose how gluttony is the silent sin killing Christian men while fat preachers stay silent and 70% of guys can't even do one pull-up. Energized Health, the protocol John Jubilee built, is reversing jab injuries, turbo cancers, and obesity so real warriors actually live long enough to lead their families instead of dying in a reinforced coffin.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth reacts defiantly to two scandals: his department's decision to murder the survivors of a September strike on an alleged Venezuelan drug boat, and a Pentagon report that found that Hegseth's infamous Signal messages put American troops at risk. Jon and Dan discuss what comes next for the former Fox News host, and then jump into the rest of the news, including Trump's disgusting comments about Somali Americans, his insistence that affordability is a Democratic "con job," and Mike Johnson's struggles to hold his caucus together after the GOP's underperformance in the TN-07 special election. Then, Dan talks to Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries about Democratic momentum heading into the midterms, the ongoing investigation into the double-tap strike, and Trump's pardon of embattled Democratic Congressman Henry Cuellar.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

OA1213 - Thomas is back for an action-packed Rapid Response Friday! This week: we compare the letter that just earned the former President of Honduras a pardon of his conviction for definitely being involved with narcotrafficking against the Trump administration's excuses for murder on the high seas of Venezuelans suspected to be involved with narcotrafficking--and if House Speaker Mike Johnson actually has a point in blaming Barack Obama for all of this. Matt then takes a quick look at Steve Bannon's petition for review of his conviction for contempt of Congress by the Supreme Court and explains how “safe third country” agreements now give ICE the power to deport asylum seekers to Central America without a hearing on their claims. Finally in today's footnote, Matt shares an incredible story from his week: an astonishing beyond-Kafkaesque legal argument the government has ordered his client to respond to that you will have to hear to believe. “Double-Tap Warfare: Should President Obama be Investigated for War Crimes?” Florida Law Review (Jan. 2017) Steve Bannon's cert petition to the U.S. Supreme Court in Bannon v.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down Trump's latest spiral after posting 160 times on Truth Social and then appearing to fall asleep in a cabinet meeting. They examine the escalating “Double Tap” scandal, from Pete Hegseth's shifting explanations to sharp criticism from Megyn Kelly, Brit Hume, Marco Rubio, and Rand Paul as Republicans contradict themselves in real time. The hosts also dig into Trump's shocking pardon of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández and his commutation of private-equity CEO David Gentile, highlighting the uproar over freeing major drug traffickers and white-collar criminals. Kander and Gupta then turn to the National Guard shooting involving an Afghan asylee, breaking down the rigorous vetting process, the mental-health failures that followed, and why this was a support-system breakdown rather than an immigration failure.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 37: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: There are three critical headlines: Trump has now convinced me he is sick, the way President Woodrow Wilson was sick. Once again it looks like Tuesday's cabinet meeting attendees were warned: praise him today because he may not recognize you tomorrow. It's Anosognosia and it's why Trump can convince himself that of course nobody knows what body part the MRI they just got was for. They never tell anybody what the MRI is for. What are you, an idiot? Secondly, with his nauseating attack on Somali-Americans of Minnesota yesterday and Tuesday, we will no longer accept any debate on this point: Donald Trump is a full-on White Supremacist, a racist who is no longer hiding it, who cannot continue as president. The hood is OFF. And thirdly, it is increasingly obvious that the Democrats must have put out that Do-Not-Obey-Illegal-Orders video when they did because there a chain of evidence has come to light suggesting the September 2 kill-the-boat-survivors order from the Secretary of War Crimes…was an illegal order, right? Plus, the racist reaction to the DC shootings will remind anybody in the next Afghanistan whose help we need that any promise we make to them, we will break. Thank you John Ratcliffe and Trump. B-Block (35:45) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The Department of Labor couldn't decide which would best enhance its Lincoln meme: the stars from the Confederate flag, or the font the Nazis used. So they chose both! Bari Weiss wants more main stream charismatic figures for CBS News. You know, like Alan Dershowitz. And not to say Larry David destroyed Bill Maher's life with his article about Bill breaking bread with Trump ("My Dinner With Adolf") but Maher is complaining about it again.

Over the past three months, the U.S. military has been firing on boats from South America, killing more than 80 people and prompting Democrats to raise urgent questions about their legality.Now, one of these operations, which killed survivors with a second missile, has prompted congressional Republicans to join those calls for accountability.Charlie Savage, who covers national security for The New York Times, explains the renewed debate and how the administration is justifying its actions.Guest: Charlie Savage, who covers national security and legal policy for The New York Times.Background reading: Lawmakers suggested that a follow-up boat strike could have been a war crime.Amid talk of a war crime, the details and precise sequence of a Sept. 2 attack on a boat in the Caribbean are facing more scrutiny.Photo: Tierney L.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Benjamin Wittes, Natalie Orpett and Eric Ciaramella to talk through the week's big national security news stories, including:“The Art of the Ordeal.” The Trump administration has been at the center of yet another bout of shuttle diplomacy the last several weeks, after an initial “28-point plan” for peace in Ukraine it appeared to hash out with Russia was met with widespread skepticism, both at home and in Kiev — leading it to shift focus to a “19-point plan” officials hashed out in closer consultation with Ukrainian officials and European officials, which was subsequently rejected by Russian President Vladimir Putin. What does this chaotic process tell us about the Trump administration's strategy and priorities? And what is it likely to mean for America's Ukrainian allies? “The War Crime on Drugs.” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is at the center of another controversy, this time over his reported order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on an alleged narcotics-smuggling boat this past September—an order that, intentionally or not, led to a second strike that killed several people who were by that point clinging to wreckage in the open sea, in seemingly clear violation of Defense Department practice and the laws of armed conflict. Hegseth and the White House have sought to shift responsibility for the second strike to senior military personnel, but it's not clear whether Congress—where Democrats and Republicans on the armed services committees are threatening oversight—are persuaded.“Unlawful Good.” Several legislators who are also current or former servicemembers have been labeled the “Seditious Six” by the Trump administration and its allies for public statements they made reiterating that servicemembers' are only obligated to follow lawful orders, specifically in relation to ongoing counter-narcotics military operations in the Caribbean. And at least one—Sen. Mark Kelly, a retired naval officer—has been publicly threatened with a court martial by the Defense Department. How seriously should we take these legal actions? And what could the broader ramifications be for the military?In object lessons, Ben uses his once per decade mulligan. Eric recommends his current reading selection, "Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare," a book that Scott reviewed on the Lawfare Podcast earlier this year. Scott gets into the spirit with one of his favorite seasonal albums, "It's a Holiday Soul Party." And Natalie plugs Lawfare's new Domestic deployment tracker - plus, a fabulous, olive-filled stuffing recipe (just add croutons!)Rational Security will be having its traditional end-of-year episode later this month, which will focus on listener-submitted topics and object lessons!

They dive into the shocking reports of war crimes associated with Secretary Hegseth, dissecting the implications of his orders and the chaotic Cabinet meeting where Trump was caught dozing off. With sharp humor, they explore the bizarre sycophancy displayed by Trump's allies, the implications of the fog of war, and the ongoing fallout from reckless military decisions. As the conversation unfolds, they touch on the growing discontent within the Republican party and the shifting political tides in traditionally red states.

The House and Senate Armed Services Committees launch an investigation into Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth after a report that he ordered a second strike on a boat in the Caribbean while survivors were clinging to the wreckage. Was his order a war crime? Jon, Lovett, and Tommy discuss and then jump into the rest of the news, including the White House's reaction to the shooting of two National Guard members in D.C., Trump's pardon of a former Hondoran president convicted of helping drug traffickers bring hundreds of tons of cocaine into the United States, and a special election in Tennessee where the Democrat has a fighting chance to flip a Trump +22 district. Then, Rob Sand, Democratic candidate for governor of Iowa, joins to talk about his race—and how Iowa farmers are reacting to the Trump trade war. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Rachel Maddow relays the details of a new Washington Post report that Donald Trump's secretary of defense, former weekend cable news host Pete Hegseth, gave orders to kill everyone on board a boat he accused of running drugs to the United States, which meant finishing off the survivors of an initial strike that destroyed the boat — the literal textbook definition of an illegal order. Rep. Adam Smith, ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee joins to discuss a new, bipartisan push to investigate Hegseth's orders.Rachel Maddow talks with Nadya Tolokonnikova, founding member of Russian dissident activism group Pussy Riot, about what it means that the Putin administration has declared her a member of an "extremist" organization, and the parallels to Donald Trump using a similar tactic to give himself the tools for targeting people he doesn't like.

Nicolle Wallace is joined by Senator Richard Blumenthal to discuss Congress' investigation into the military operations in the Caribbean after it was revealed that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave the order to “kill everyone” aboard a vessel suspected to be transporting drugs.Later, Nicolle covers the mysterious MRI Trump received in October, which, when asked by a reporter, Trump said he had no idea which body part it was for. As Trump faces the increased fatigue that comes with aging, the FDA put out a memo that suggests it's going to get stricter when approving vaccines.For more, follow us on Instagram @deadlinewhTo listen to this show and other MS NOW podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

More than 80 people have now been killed by U.S. strikes on suspected drug boats.There are growing questions about an order to kill two of those people — whether it amounts to a war crime.Here's what we know: on September 2, the U.S. carried out two strikes on a boat in the Caribbean. The second, subsequent strike killed two remaining survivors.Details of that second strike were first reported by The Washington Post last week.Today, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth “authorized” Admiral Frank Bradley to conduct both strikes, and that Admiral Bradley issued the order and, quote — “worked well within his authority and the law.” But on Capitol Hill, both the Senate and House Armed Services Committees are asking for a full accounting. For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.

It's a News Day Monday on the Majority Report On today's Program: In the aftermath of the shooting of two National Guardsmen in Washington, D.C., the Trump administration seizes the opportunity to promote "remigration." When asked why Trump is blaming the D.C. shooting on the Biden administration, he lashes out and calls the reporter "stupid." Trump, or his ghost writer, posts a racist tirade on Thanksgiving. Tim Walz responds to the Truth Social post, saying it's yet another example proving Trump is mentally unwell and unfit to serve as president. Walz calls for the release of Trump's most recent MRI so the public can understand what is going on with the president's health. If you are in Tennessee's 7th Congressional district, make sure you get out and vote for Aftyn Behn. In the Fun Half: Senator Chris Van Hollen says that at best the U.S. has committed war crimes in the Caribbean and at worst just cold-blooded murder. Kristi Noem avoids answering questions from Kristen Welker about DHS promoting the white nationalist policy of "remigration". New Yorkers were tipped off about an ICE staging area in a Chinatown parking garage and quickly mobilized, storming the garage to protest and shut down the raid. Bill Maher is still very upset over Larry David's "My Dinner with Hitler" piece that was written over seven months ago. Crackpot Rob Dreher has a crackpot theory that JD Vance can lead the wayward white young men away from Nick Fuentes. JD Vance's "I hate Turkey" bombs in front of soldiers at Ft. Campbell on Thanksgiving All that and more. The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. You can use this number to connect with either the U.S. Senate or the House of Representatives.
