Last week, the Israeli military launched a major new ground assault on Gaza. The aim, according to Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is to force the surrender of Hamas, free the remaining Israeli hostages, and bring the entire territory under Israel's control. The UK, France and Canada have demanded Israel halt "its military operations" and "immediately allow aid" in. While Trump spoke about his support for Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu during his campaign, in recent weeks his patience seems to be wearing this. The US ambassador to Israel maintains Hamas is still responsible for starting the war by attacking Israel on 7 October 2023, and says the militant group must release the 58 Israeli hostages it is still holding. Meanwhile Hamas has been in private talks with the US about a ceasefire.Katie Stallard is joined by Raja Khalidi and Rajan Menon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

President Trump concludes a landmark Middle East tour with multitrillion-dollar investment and arms deals from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, signaling a dramatic shift in U.S. foreign relations. While Trump is greeted with royal treatment abroad, political tensions explode at home. The commentary takes aim at President Biden's foreign policy failures, the Democratic Party's alleged sympathy for extremist causes, and the mainstream media's fading control over public perception. With sharp criticisms of FBI Director James Comey and concerns voiced by Tulsi Gabbard about assassination rhetoric and unconstitutional censorship, the segment paints a picture of a country at a political breaking point—where truth, power, and control are violently colliding

The measure failed with a tied vote of 49-49. The resolution was supported by Democrats and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.). While Trump has since suspended most of the reciprocal tariffs for 90 days—with tariffs on China a notable exception—he left in place a 10 percent tariff on those countries in accordance with the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which allows the U.S. president to unilaterally enact tariffs for national security reasons.

Today on KPFA Radio's Women's Magazine Lisa Dettmer  talks to three Queer farmers of color, Oriana Bolden, Loa Niumeitolu and Kellee Matsushita-Tseng about how we can create alternative spaces to sustain us during this newest round of fascism.  While  Trump is orchestrating a neoliberal collapse  and we weather  the constant barrage of attacks on our lives we need to create alternative communities rooted in the land.   But our capitalist  industrial model of growing and consuming food is contributing to both climate change and social inequity and unfortunately large agro industrial farming is not that  different than plantation farming. industrial capitalism is undermining our ability to build sustainable food systems for all.  98% of Farm Land is controlled by white people and  many  argue that alternative economies—including alternative food networks—continue to benefit middle class white folks, while further marginalizing communities of color and low-income folks.  So today I am going to talk to 3 Queer farmers who are  creating  farms and gardens farming for BIPOC and low income and Queer people which is so important to  creating a truly just movement for food sovereignty and  is so important right now to help create alternative communities that can sustain us when we can not count on government grants or financial support reminding us that  we will need to create   independent grassroots movements rooted in the land  where we can be sustained with food and well being and   where we can create our  own systems for  mutual aid and an alternative non extractive non exploitive economic and eco system.  Today we talk  to 3 farmers who are doing that.   Oriana Bolden  is a Black, queer, filmmaking farmer located in Grass Valley, CA, where Oriana  stewards medicinal herbs, edible flowers and long-celebrated, but “forgotten” herbs, spices and indigenous foods that are local and ecologically and culturally important.  And we talk to Loa Niumeitolu, who  is a Tongan poet, community organizer, educator and urban farmer. She is the director of Planting Oceania, a Pacific Islander collective that plants their ancestral foods and medicine for self determination and to heal from the destructions of colonization.. planting Oceania plants on the unceded territories of Lisjan and Raymatush tribes.”    And lastly we talk to Kellee Matsushita-Tseng who  is a yonsei, 4th generation queer japanese-chinese american, living and farming on unceded territory of the  Uypi-tribe   in Santa Cruz. Kellee joined the Food, What?! team in 2023 with over a decade of both farming and education experience, with special love for connecting people to seed stewardship. In addition to their work with youth at Food What?!, Kellee works to build seed sovereignty movements as a means of cultivating community power and organizes with a collective of AAPI farmers and organizers across the country, called Second Generation Seeds, which preserves, improves, and breeds crops significant to communities of the Asian diaspora.  Kellee is also a founding member of Bitter Cotyledons, a collective of queer and trans asian Americans that cultivates creative resilience through ancestral foodways and community.

Lindsey Graham's controversial budget proposal has exposed the GOP's dangerous commitment to runaway spending, with only a mere $4 billion cut over a decade. While Trump's agenda, including deportations and military contracts, is tied to this budget, the real cost could be America's financial collapse. As inflation soars and the middle class faces unprecedented struggles, can the GOP truly avoid the debt death cycle? Or is this the beginning of the end for fiscal conservatism?

Democrats have been struggling with low favorability since last November, but recent special elections in Wisconsin and Florida might suggest things are looking up. Liberal judge Susan Crawford won a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court this week, despite Elon Musk investing $25 million towards conservative Brad Schimel's campaign. Two House seats went up for grabs in Florida. Both went to Republicans, but Democrats lost by smaller margins than previous polls suggested they would. Can Democrats spin these results as a win? Over at the White House, President Trump declared April 2 as “Liberation Day.” He introduced steep tariffs on countries across the world, promising to “make America wealthy again.” While Trump promises an American manufacturing boom, economists predict the tariffs could slow the U.S.' financial growth. Some on the left and the right argue that might be a good thing. “De-growth,” the idea that reducing growth could create a more sustainable economy, has been gaining traction across the aisle. Are these tariffs what people want? Trump continued to stir the pot this week when he used an NBC News appearance to float the idea of running for a third term. Despite the two-term limit outlined in the 22nd Amendment, Trump told NBC's Kristen Welker that “there are methods” around it. How legitimate are these “methods?” Should voters be concerned about a third Trump term?

This Day in Legal History: Smith v. AllwrightOn April 3, 1944, the United States Supreme Court delivered a landmark decision in Smith v. Allwright, reshaping the landscape of voting rights in the American South. The case centered on Lonnie E. Smith, a Black voter from Texas who was denied the right to vote in the Democratic Party's primary election due to a party rule that only allowed white voters to participate. At the time, the Democratic primary was the only meaningful election in many Southern states, as the party dominated politics, making exclusion from the primary tantamount to disenfranchisement.The Texas Democratic Party argued that, as a private organization, it had the right to determine its own membership and voting rules. However, the Court, in an 8–1 decision authored by Justice Stanley Reed, held that primaries were an integral part of the electoral process and could not be exempt from constitutional scrutiny. The justices concluded that excluding Black voters from primaries violated the Fifteenth Amendment, which prohibits racial discrimination in voting.This ruling effectively overturned the Court's 1935 decision in Grovey v. Townsend, which had upheld the use of white primaries. The Smith decision marked a critical step toward dismantling the legal architecture of Jim Crow voter suppression. While states continued to use other tactics to limit Black political power, the ruling energized civil rights activists and laid the foundation for future litigation.By reasserting federal authority over state electoral practices, Smith v. Allwright signaled a turning point in the judicial battle against racial segregation and disenfranchisement. It also demonstrated the Court's growing willingness to confront systemic racism in voting, a commitment that would deepen during the civil rights era. This case is remembered as one of the pivotal moments in the long struggle for voting rights in the United States.The U.S. Supreme Court largely upheld the FDA's authority to deny applications for flavored vaping products, supporting actions taken during the Biden administration under the 2009 Tobacco Control Act. The unanimous ruling rejected arguments from companies like Triton Distribution and Vapetasia LLC, which claimed the FDA unfairly imposed new testing requirements and ignored their marketing plans. These companies had applied to sell flavors like “Suicide Bunny Mother's Milk and Cookies” and “Killer Kustard Blueberry.”The Court found the FDA's approach consistent with its earlier guidance, despite claims from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that the agency had pulled a “regulatory switcheroo.” Justice Samuel Alito wrote the opinion, agreeing with most of the FDA's decisions but sending the case back to the appeals court to reassess whether the agency erred in refusing to consider the companies' marketing plans—an element the FDA had previously called “critical” for evaluating youth appeal.Though the ruling solidifies the FDA's regulatory role, its long-term impact is uncertain. President Trump, in furtherance of his undying effort to always be on the wrong side of everything, has promised to “save vaping,” though his campaign never clarified what that means in terms of future regulation. The case, FDA v. Wages and White Lion, leaves the appeals court to decide whether any procedural missteps by the FDA were ultimately harmless.Supreme Court Largely Backs Biden-Era FDA on Flavored Vapes (1)Elon Musk's time in Washington as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DGE) appears to be nearing its end. Both Musk and President Trump have hinted that his departure is imminent, with Trump noting that DGE itself “will end.” Originally designed as a temporary advisory panel to cut federal costs, DGE has morphed into a more integrated part of the government, staffed with Musk allies tasked with canceling contracts and slashing budgets.However, signs of a wind-down are emerging. DGE staff are being reassigned to federal agencies, layoffs are underway, and the organization's influence seems to be diminishing. Musk, a special government employee limited to 130 working days per year, is approaching that limit, though neither he nor the administration has confirmed when his tenure will end.Musk's recent political involvement also took a hit when his preferred candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court lost, despite significant financial backing and a campaign visit. Tesla's 13% drop in quarterly sales adds further pressure. Trump praised Musk's contributions but acknowledged his corporate obligations, suggesting a graceful exit is likely rather than a public fallout.DGE had once shared leadership between Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, but Ramaswamy left to run for Ohio governor. While Musk boasted about aiming to reduce the deficit by a trillion dollars, critics say the group's progress has been overstated. Despite speculation, Trump hasn't committed to keeping DGE operational post-Musk, indicating the administration may be moving to a new phase of governance.Musk could be headed for a Washington exit after turbulent times at Trump's DOGE | AP NewsPresident Donald Trump announced a new agreement with law firm Milbank, marking another chapter in the growing divide among U.S. law firms over how to handle pressure from his administration. According to Trump's Truth Social post, Milbank initiated the deal, which includes a commitment to provide $100 million in pro bono legal services for causes like veterans' support and combating antisemitism.The agreement comes amid a broader Trump administration effort to punish firms that have opposed or challenged his policies. Several law firms—such as Perkins Coie, WilmerHale, and Jenner & Block—have filed lawsuits seeking to block executive orders they claim were retaliatory and violated constitutional protections of free speech and due process. Federal judges recently issued temporary blocks on parts of those orders.In contrast, other firms including Paul Weiss, Skadden Arps, and Willkie Farr have opted for settlement-style deals with the administration to avoid similar sanctions. Milbank's chairman, Scott Edelman, reportedly described the agreement as aligned with the firm's values and praised the productive talks with the administration.This situation underscores a growing rift in the legal community: some firms are resisting what they see as political coercion, while others are choosing cooperation to preserve their standing with the federal government.Trump reaches agreement with Milbank law firm | ReutersPresident Trump announced a sweeping new tariff policy during a Rose Garden press conference, unveiling a "reciprocal" trade strategy aimed at countering what he described as decades of unfair treatment by U.S. trading partners. Holding a copy of a government report titled Foreign Trade Barriers, Trump declared that the U.S. will now impose tariffs that are approximately half the rate other countries charge American exports—but with a minimum baseline tariff of 10%, and many rates going significantly higher.Countries hit with new tariffs include:* China: 34%* European Union: 20%* Japan: 24%* South Korea: 25%* Switzerland: 31%* United Kingdom: 10%* Taiwan: 32%* Malaysia: 24%* India: 26%* Brazil: 10%* Indonesia: 32%* Vietnam: 46%* Singapore: 10%Trump also confirmed a 25% tariff on all foreign-made automobiles, stacking on the above-referenced rates, effective at midnight, and pointed to motorcycle tariffs as a key example of longstanding trade imbalances. He argued that U.S. manufacturers face rates as high as 75% abroad, while the U.S. imposes just 2.4%.The president justified the move as necessary to protect American jobs and industry, singling out countries like Canada and Mexico for benefiting from U.S. subsidies and defense spending. Detroit autoworker Brian Pannebecker spoke in support, calling Trump's actions a hopeful step toward revitalizing shuttered factories.While Trump emphasized that the tariffs fall short of full reciprocity to avoid overwhelming allies, he made clear the era of what he called “economic surrender” was over. The announcement included plans to sign an executive order formalizing the new tariff regime, which boosted U.S. stock futures as markets reacted positively to the aggressive trade stance. Oh no I'm sorry, I got that wrong: stock futures tanked.  This is a public episode.

President Donald Trump is calling today “Liberation Day,” but many Americans are wondering, liberation for whom? At 4:00 p.m., Trump is expected to unveil sweeping new tariffs on everything from auto parts to copper and even medicine. He says there'll be reciprocal tariffs aimed at countries that have taken advantage of the U.S.—but details remain fuzzy, especially regarding the economic consequences. According to the Yale Budget Lab, the average American could pay up to $3,400 more a year if Trump's plan goes into full effect. Wall Street's already been reacting. Last quarter, the S&P 500 saw its worst performance since 2022, and consumer confidence just hit a 12-year low. While Trump claims the plan will fund tax cuts and bring back manufacturing jobs, economists warn it could hurt U.S. farmers, small businesses, and everyday consumers the most.

As I stand outside the Manhattan courthouse on this chilly Sunday morning of March 30, 2025, the air is thick with anticipation. Just days ago, President Donald Trump received his sentence in the New York hush money case - unconditional discharge. It's been a whirlwind few months for the former and current president, with legal battles raging across multiple fronts.Let's rewind to January 10th, when Justice Juan Merchan handed down the sentence in the case involving falsified business records related to payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels. While Trump avoided jail time, the conviction itself was a significant blow to his image.But the legal saga doesn't end there. The federal cases against Trump in Florida and Washington D.C. took unexpected turns after his 2024 election victory. In July last year, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the classified documents case in Florida, citing improper appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith. The Justice Department's subsequent appeal was dropped in November, effectively ending that prosecution.The January 6th case in D.C. met a similar fate. After the Supreme Court remanded the case back to the district court in August 2024, Judge Tanya Chutkan ultimately granted the government's motion to dismiss in December. The presidential immunity claim that had initially delayed the trial became moot after Trump's re-election.Now, all eyes are on the ongoing Fulton County, Georgia case. District Attorney Fani Willis's sprawling racketeering indictment against Trump and 18 co-defendants continues to wind its way through the courts. Just last week, Trump's legal team filed an emergency application with the Supreme Court, seeking to halt removals under the Alien Enemies Act - a controversial 1798 law invoked by the president to target alleged members of a Venezuelan gang.This latest move has sparked heated debate about executive power and national security. Critics argue it's an overreach, while supporters claim it's necessary to combat transnational criminal organizations. The Supreme Court's decision on this matter could have far-reaching implications for immigration policy and presidential authority.As we await further developments, one thing is clear: the intersection of law and politics has never been more contentious. With the 2025 legislative session in full swing and the aftermath of these legal battles still unfolding, the coming months promise to be a crucial period for American democracy. This is Sarah Johnson, reporting from New York City, where the story of Trump's trials continues to captivate the nation.

In this episode of The Free Thought Project Podcast, Jason and Matt are joined once again by the always insightful Tony Arterburn — a U.S. Army combat veteran, gold and silver expert, and host of the Arterburn Radio Transmission. As the owner of Wise Wolf Gold & Silver Exchange, Tony brings a rare blend of historical perspective, economic literacy, and common sense to every conversation. We kick things off by examining the recent bait-and-switch surrounding Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). While Trump made headlines for “banning” CBDCs, we unpack how stablecoins — now receiving bipartisan support — may serve as their stealth replacement. Tony offers a sober look at how digital assets backed by the state could still usher in a new era of financial surveillance and control under the guise of innovation and safety. From there, we pivot to a deep dive on tariffs and their misunderstood role in American economic policy. Tony breaks down their origins, the mythology surrounding Trump's trade war strategies, and how tariffs often serve political ends while further destabilizing the dollar and punishing consumers. We also get into the larger picture: America's unsustainable debt spiral — now increasing by $1 trillion every 90 days — and what that means for anyone trying to preserve wealth and autonomy. Tony makes the case for why decentralized alternatives like crypto, and sound money assets like gold and silver, are more important than ever as tools of resistance against global economic manipulation. With his signature clarity and depth, Tony helps us navigate the chaos with historical context, practical insights, and a healthy dose of skepticism. He leaves us with a white pill — an optimistic path forward — and some much-needed guidance in uncertain times.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told the media that the department will be “much smaller than it is today” however “when it comes to student loans and Pell Grants, those will still be run out of the Department of Education.” While Trump has made his intention to close the DOE clear, to fully dissolve the department would require an act from Congress.

What's the Republican spending bill all about? It's an extremely dangerous powergab engineered by Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House and dirty lawyer who came up with the legal strategy to try to overturn the 2020 election. The Republican spending bill essentially grants legal protections to Trump and Musk's ongoing illegal mass purge, to protect them against court orders–one of the last levers of power we have left. Any Democrat who votes for this is complicit in Trump and Musk's tech-backed coup, illegally mass firing federal workers to replace them with an A.I. surveillance state. This week's episode continues our conversation with Gil Durán of the Third Reich and FrameLab newsletters on Controlled Opposition—those Vichy Democrats who refuse to stand up to the fascist Republicans in power. But why? What's in it for them? In a dictatorship, no one is safe—not even former allies like Putin, who've found themselves mysteriously falling out of windows or exploding mid-air. Why are some Democrats still playing the role of complicit bystanders? The Senate is gearing up to vote on the extreme Republican spending bill, which slashes life-saving programs like Head Start and community health centers, while funneling billions to the Pentagon and Homeland Security. At a time when Trump is threatening to invade Canada and Greenland, and ICE is denying due process to green card holders like Mahmoud Khalil, the stakes couldn't be higher. The bill also cuts Washington, DC's budget—an attempt to punish the city for daring to protest Trump's corrupt regime. But here's the thing: shutting down the government doesn't empower Trump or Musk—it forces Democrats to get on the front lines and expose the Republican spending bill for what it really is: a power grab designed to protect Trump and Musk's illegal tech-backed coup. There's hope, though. While Trump and Musk face a future of justice (their approval ratings are plummeting), we need to keep fighting back.  Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

Today I'm speaking with Chryl Laird, Associate Professor of Government and Politics at the University of Maryland College Park. We are discussing her co-authored book with Ismail White, Steadfast Democrats: How Social Forces Shape Black Political Behavior. Published in 2020, this book remains highly relevant for understanding American political behavior. While Trump did make significant gains among black voters in 2024, particularly male voters, African American voters still overwhelmingly support the Democratic Party. Chryl has appeared on the NBN in the past, so while we will discuss the book, we will also discuss it in the context of today.

While Trump stays focused on his agenda, Democrats cling to failed tactics, embracing disorder over governance. America deserves better than their endless political spectacle.

President Donald Trump on Thursday said that his proposed 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada remain on track to go into effect next week, stating that drugs are still flowing in at unacceptable levels from our southern and northern borders. He also said he would increase levies on China. While Trump's stance on tariffs has created some unease among investors, there is a lot of optimism as Congress appears to be moving closer to making the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 permanent, something the business world would welcome with open arms. Co-hosts of FOX Business 'The Big Money Show,' Taylor Riggs and Brian Brenberg, discuss how both Trump's tariff and tax policies are his way of offering the world and American businesses a 'new deal.'

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy joins Greg on today's 3 Martini Lunch in place of Jim. They discuss the White House taking control over press pool selections, Trump's tariffs jeopardizing a major political and economic opportunity with Canada, and CNN's Jake Tapper writing a book about the cover-up of Joe Biden's decline—after helping cover it up himself.First, Andy and Greg analyze the White House's new policy on press pool access for the Oval Office and Air Force One. While Andy thinks the White House wording on the policy shift is over the top, he says the the Trump press team has largely made a point of adding new voices rather than silencing others.Next, they critique Trump's plan to impose 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico starting in March. Beyond the likelihood of higher prices for Americans, they highlight how these tensions have weakened Canada's conservative party, which once seemed poised for a massive victory but is now struggling. While Trump shouldn't prioritize Canadian politics, a conservative government there would align far better with his policies than Justin Trudeau's far-left successor.Finally, they call out the stunning hypocrisy of CNN's Jake Tapper. After downplaying and denying Biden's cognitive decline for years, Tapper is now co-authoring a book exposing Biden's decline and the efforts to conceal it. Andy and Greg document how Biden's decline was blatantly obvious for anyone honestly paying attention.Please visit our great sponsors: We've got you covered with a 35% discount!

There is a ton of focus on Trump's White House, which is why we are getting a lot of good policies. However, there is less focus on Trump's interaction with Congress and primary endorsements. Hence, we get a lot less. Today, I raise some concerns about progress on immigration enforcement and spending cuts. While Trump has signaled a good direction on a lot of policies, many of them are not resulting in full outcomes — either because of the courts or a lack of follow-through. I explain what needs to be done on immigration to get the deportation numbers up and what Trump must do on budget reconciliation. Also, inflation is getting worse, and now we have fewer buyers of U.S. treasuries.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
