Live from NPR News on Child Snyder, acting Attorney General Todd Blanch is de...
administration's creation of a new nearly $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund.
“And it concerns those prosecuted for their part to the January 6th Capitol riot could”
claim a payout. President Trump, this Department of Justice does not stand for assaulting law enforcement and the kind of fake outrage at this because there's a handful of folks who might apply. By the way, nobody received money. Nobody's applied yet.
We don't even have commissioners. So we're talking about a hypothetical scenario that hasn't even presented itself yet. Blanch spoke with CNN Wednesday the same day that two police officers who defended the Capitol during the riot sued to stop the administration from paying rioters. Blanch said the conduct of anyone who attacked law enforcement would be factored into any payout
decision.
President Trump says he is in no hurry to make a deal with Iran and Pierce Franco
Rodionius says a state of limbo surrounds any negotiations. The threat the U.S. could strike this weekend speaks to the uncertainty some for officials
“like Mona Eccubian, who is now at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.”
Say his turning into a quote, "frozen conflict," that could extend for months. The bigger fear is also just that there is no resolution. Or there's a resolution that leads to Iran's retaining de facto control of a straight of war moves and Iran being able to continue to be disruptive. She called that a kind of half solution where Trump's constant threats and the potential
retaliation impair any real movement toward economic repair or economic growth. Ordonius and Piani's Israeli military has intercepted a flutilla of eight bullets bound for Gaza detaining more than 400 people videos show detainees being zip tied and forced in two stress positions as Dury Pascaran reports. Before her arrest, Meghan Dominguez recorded a video of herself on board, holding her U.S.
passport. We are not criminals. We are unarmed civilians from around the world who believe that all people have the right to food, shelter, medicine, and safety.
“She's one of more than 400 flutilla participants from 44 countries who are arrested by Israeli”
forces off the coast of Cyprus. Israeli National Security Minister Eta Mar Ben Gever posted a video of the detainees zip tied and forced into crouching positions. In another clip, a woman is shoved to the ground as Ben Gever smiles broadly. He captioned the video, "This is how we welcome supporters of terrorism."
The friend Piani's "I'm Dury Pascaran" in his devil. Ben Gever's video is drawn a sharp rebuke from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who said Wednesday that his treatment of flutilla activists is not in line with Israel's values and norms. This is MPR.
The Supreme Court's recent decision to weaken the voting rights act is making it harder to challenge voting maps that discriminate against racial minority voters, and Piers Hansi Lomong reports. MPR. analyzed federal court records and found active legal fights over at least 17 voting maps or election systems for state legislatures, county commission, school boards, or
other local governments. All of them are reckoning with the Supreme Court's conservative Supermajari's decision to strike down a Louisiana congressional map as an unconstitutional racial jerrymander, that ruling weakened longstanding voting rights act protections against racial discrimination and redistricting for places where voting is racially polarized.
Most of the active legal fights grappling with anti-discision were brought by black voters in the south. Not all native American voters are in a legal fight over North Dakota's legislative map, and Latino voters are challenging how members of a local Pennsylvania school border elected.
Hansi Lowong and Farnus Stephen Colbert's run on late night television is coming to an end. Colbert's last late show is tonight. If you had hosting the show in 2015, but last summer, CBS announced a show would end this month. CBS cited economic reasons, but Colbert and others suspect political pressure played a role.
The decision followed paramount settlement of President Trump's lawsuit over a 60 minutes interview and its pending sale to Skydance Media. A judge in Indiana, allowing competitive eater, Joey Chess, not to travel outside of the state, meaning he will be available to defend his hot dog eating title at the annual July 4th contest on Coney Island.
Last month, he was sentenced to 180, 80 days probation after pleading guilty to slapping a man during a night out at a bar. As Hurricane season approaches, a political storm is brewing at the federal disaster agency.
"I've never been a big fan of FEMA, I really know you get the job done."
But can we afford to lose this vital agency? Whenever there's a disaster, the first thing people say is, "Where's FEMA?" American emergency, the movement to kill FEMA, is a brand new series from WNYC's on the
Media.
