What A Day - The Tragedy of War, Made Worse

Israel confirmed that an airstrike targeting a top Hamas commander hit a densely populated refugee camp in northern Gaza, killing at least 50 people and wounding hundreds more. The attack raises fears that Israel’s continued push into the enclave will put even more Palestinian civilians in harm’s way.

On Capitol Hill, anti-war protesters interrupted a U.S. Senate hearing over the White House’s emergency aid request for Israel and Ukraine. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin both testified that the $106 billion request is imperative for national security.

And in headlines: Republican Rep. George Santos could face an historic vote to expel him from Congress, a federal judge in Texas ordered Border Patrol agents to temporarily stop removing razor wire along the US-Mexico border, and a Kansas judge ruled that officials there cannot enforce laws that discourage anyone from seeking an abortion.

The Best One Yet - 🚦 “Elmo got a makeover” — Sesame Street’s new pivot. Target’s theft excuse. JetBlue’s vacation mistake.

Sesame Street is changing its format for the first time in 56 years — Big Bird, Elmo, and Oscar The Grouch pioneered the “magazine format” of TV (which even influenced our podcast)

Target has said all year long that it’s struggling because of 1 thing: Theft (aka “shrinkage”) — But we just got the data from a journalist’s investigation… and Target doesn’t want you to hear it.

And JetBlue stock is about to hit an all-time low — Because when all you do is chase trends, you eventually run out of gas.

Short Wave - Sky Vaccines: Ridding Raccoons Of Rabies En Masse

Every year, the USDA drops millions of oral rabies vaccines across fourteen states, mostly along the eastern seaboard. In urban and suburban areas, they use vehicles, but in rural areas, they drop the vaccines from planes. Host Regina G. Barber talks to USDA wildlife biologist Jordona Kirby about the agency's goal to wipe out rabies in one population in particular: raccoons.

The Daily Signal - Dinesh D’Souza Unpacks New Film ‘Police State’

Dinesh D‘Souza’s newest film, “Police State,” chronicles the real-life stories of everyday Americans who have endured the wrath of a weaponized government and of the whistleblowers who are exposing its abuse of power.

The film will be shown Wednesday at a red-carpet event at Mar-a-Lago, former President Donald Trump’s estate in Palm Beach, Florida. Trump, who is currently facing 91 felony charges in four separate cases, is the police state’s primary target, according to D’Souza.

Ahead of the Mar-a-Lago screening, D’Souza spoke with The Daily Signal about why he embarked on this project and how he hopes the film will awaken Americans to this troubling reality.

“I’m very proud of this film. It’s perhaps my most cinematic work, and also my most urgent call to action,” D’Souza says. “I’ve sort of likened myself to the animal that is warning the herd that, ‘Hey, we’re in danger. We need to take protective action.’”

Visit PoliceStateFilm.net to stream the movie.

Amarica's Constitution - Aisles, not Walls

The follies in the House have ended, for now. Many Americans looked upon the travesty with despair, wondering if our government might yet be up to the task of leading and reaching beyond party to find country and duty. We take a good look and search for places where reaching across the aisle might still take place - and we try to do our part and go beyond demonizing those not in our own party. Plus - the Amars’ amicus brief is up in Moore vs. US, and we open that door. This episode is eligible for CLE credit at podcast.njsba.com.
