Welcome to Democracy Now!, democracynow .org, The War and Peace Report.
2
I'm Amy Goodman.
3
Republican Congressmember Thomas Massey introduced articles of impeachment against
4
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Monday for high crimes and misdemeanors.
5
The aid impeachment articles accuse Hegseth of violating the 1973
6
War Powers Resolution by continuing to attack Iran, even after both chambers of Congress ordered the Trump administration to stop.
7
He's also accused of illegally waging war against Yemen, ignoring laws designed to reduce civilian casualties,
8
overseeing extrajudicial killings and attacks on boats in the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific,
9
abducting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro without congressional authorization
10
and suppressing the free speech rights of Democratic Senator Mark Kelly in retaliation for reminding troops not to obey illegal orders.
11
Congressmember Massey outlined the charges during a speech from the House floor.
12
Wherefore, Secretary of Defense Peter Hegseth, by such conduct, has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to the Constitution,
13
if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with his duties and the rule of law.
14
Peter Brian Hegseth thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor,
15
trust, or profit under the United States.
16
It's expected the House will vote on Hegseth's impeachment Wednesday.
17
Only a few
18
Republican defectors would be needed for a simple majority, setting up a Senate trial on whether to remove Hegseth.
19
On Monday, President Trump said he would stand by Hegseth if he's impeached.
20
The Wall Street Journal reports the Pentagon's evacuated aircraft from a
21
second base in the United Kingdom due to another alleged threat from Iran.
22
U .S.
23
refueling tankers were reportedly moved from the base in Mildenhall on Monday.
24
Last month, the Pentagon pulled B -1 bombers out of another British base.
25
Meanwhile, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard, of course, says two more ships, including a supertanker, are on fire near the Strait of Hormuz after using what
26
Iranian officials have called an unauthorized route.
27
Iran has claimed 11 strikes on ships over a 10 -day span.
28
The continued attacks on shipping came as Iran's foreign ministry said it could reopen the strait within 48 hours
29
if the U .S agrees to Tehran's list of demands.
30
If the U .S meets the demands put forward by Iran,
31
the situation in the region could see a positive shift in as little as two days,
32
and security in the Strait of Hormuz could also be restored.
33
On Monday, President Trump spoke with Qatar's prime minister, who's acted as a mediator in efforts to end the war.
34
After the talks, Trump claimed there was positive momentum in negotiations for a deal with Iran.
35
The military action doesn't seem to be a very necessary thing, but we're locked and loaded, ready to go for any reason that changes.
36
Israel and the entire
37
Middle East are protected from Iranian danger and threats, and we're seeing momentum toward the end of this conflict.
38
I think it's going to be ending fairly soon.
39
Since the U .S and Israel launched the war in Iran in February,
40
Trump has claimed more than 40 times the war was close to an end, that a deal was near or that the war was already over.
41
Democrats are continuing to build on their historic wins in last week's midterm elections as votes continue to be counted.
42
In Mississippi, Scott Colombe's lead over Republican incumbent
43
Senator Cindy Hyde -Smith has topped 2 ,500 votes with just
44
two batches of ballots left to be counted before a Friday deadline to certify the results.
45
In Colorado, Republican Congressmember Lauren Boebert is trailing in her bid to hold onto her seat.
46
On Monday, CNN projected she will lose the race to Democrat Eileen Laubacher, a retired U .S.
47
Navy admiral who served on the National Security Council under President Biden.
48
On Monday, President Trump reversed his previous comment that he was absolutely willing to accept the results of the midterm elections.
49
Trump wrote on Truth Social, quote,
50
Senate Democrats could be headed for a leadership shakeup after Maryland
51
Senator Chris Van Hollen indicated Monday he's open to running for Senate Majority Leader when the new
52
Congress convenes in January.
53
A source close to the Maryland senator told Politico that
54
Van Hollen is thinking about a run after he, quote, received an outpouring of calls and is now in active listening mode.
55
The door is not shut, the source said.
56
This comes as a growing number of Senate Democrats have called for new leadership.
57
or refused to commit to supporting
58
New York Senator Chuck Schumer for majority leader.
59
Joining the call is a major labor union, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, which wrote in a letter to Schumer on Monday,
60
quote, we believe this is the right moment for a new generation to lead
61
Senate Democrats, unquote.
62
Meanwhile, Connecticut Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal said he's open to new leadership if a challenger to Schumer emerges.
63
But we need to have a conversation about leadership going forward because we need new energy and ideas.
64
In more news from Capitol Hill, the Senate voted 73 to 25 Monday to take up a sweeping permitting reform bill.
65
It was advanced by nearly every
66
Republican and 22 Democrats.
67
Environmental groups have called the legislation a, quote, aggressive attack on federal environmental protections in order to facilitate rapid,
68
unregulated development of frack gas power plants, dirty fossil fuel pipelines, and expensive hyperscale data centers, unquote.
69
Meanwhile, indigenous leaders, including
70
New Mexico governor -elect Deb Haaland, argue the bill would undermine tribal sovereignty.
71
More than 160 health, consumer,
72
religious, and environmental groups are calling on Congress to instead pass the No -AI Data Centers on Federal Lands Act.
73
It's sponsored by Michigan Democratic Socialist Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib,
74
who said, quote, Here in New York,
75
activists with climate defenders, New York Communities for Change and Planet Over Profit, protested Ananthropic's Manhattan offices for over an hour Monday.
76
Five of them were arrested for blocking the employee security entrance.
77
The protesters blasted Ananthropic's moves toward an initial public offering that could see it valued at $1 .4 trillion,
78
far less than previous estimates it could be worth as much as $2 trillion.
79
This comes after major global tech stocks fell sharply last week following the U .S midterm elections,
80
which sparked concerns among investors that the Democratic takeover of both chambers of Congress will mean tougher regulation of A .I.
81
This is activist Jonathan Weston speaking to Democracy Now! as he was being arrested.
82
I'm getting arrested because we're trying to stop Anthropik from crashing the global economy along with A .I.
83
They are not worth the paper they're printed on.
84
Millions and millions of lives will be affected by it.
85
In South Africa, the African National Congress, the party of Nelson Mandela, suffered its worst results in local elections Sunday.
86
The ANC won just 31 percent of the vote, though it remains
87
South Africa's largest party.
88
Its main rival, the Democratic Alliance, said it won the votes of more than one million black
89
South Africans for the first time.
90
At least 39 migrants have died after a small wooden boat
91
capsized off the Atlantic coast of Senegal as it tried to reach Spain's Canary Islands.
92
This year alone, the Spanish immigrant rights group
93
Walking Borders has recorded over 600 migrant deaths in the Atlantic as more people desperately flee war, famine, climate disasters and attempt to reach Europe.
94
This comes as at least 22 people have died while attempting to reach Greece from Libya over the course of three days.
95
Back in the United States, a deportation flight carrying
96
Iranian nationals to Iran via Pakistan was abruptly canceled Sunday morning
97
after at least eight Iranians had been loaded onto a plane in Mesa, Arizona, bound first for the Republic of Georgia.
98
The flight would reportedly have been the first deportation of Iranians since the U .S launched attacks on Iran in February.
99
Back in October, U .S.
100
District Judge Ana Reyes ordered the U .S.
101
government to give the court 24 -hour notice of any plans to deport Iranians to Iran
102
or to any other country and five days' written notice before deportation is carried out.
103
In San Diego, an eight -year -old Haitian boy is in federal custody after ICE detained him at a scheduled immigration appointment.
104
He'd been living with his uncle since his father was deported last year.
105
DHS says the uncle could not establish legal guardianship.
106
Gerline Joseph, executive director of Haitian Bridge Alliance, said, quote, This is not child protection.
107
This is state -inflicted trauma disguised as immigration enforcement.
108
An eight -year -old child should be sitting in a classroom, learning, playing and dreaming about his future,
109
not being taken away and re -traumatized by armed federal agents.
110
His father has already been taken from him and deported.
111
Now this administration's stripped him of the stability, family and community every child deserves, she said.
112
The U .S.
113
Supreme Court's allowing the Trump administration to resume the construction of a new border wall in Big Bend National Park
114
and along more than 500 miles of the Rio Grande in Texas.
115
Monday's ruling lifted a lower court's temporary injunction
116
that blocked construction back in October while a lawsuit filed by the Center for Biological Diversity and others is resolved.
117
Justice Ketunji Brown -Jackson was the only
118
Supreme Court justice to dissent.

An estimated 6 .3 million people in the United States could
121
lose their food assistance by 2029 over a new proposed policy set forth by the Department of Agriculture.
122
The Republican -backed measure would toughen restrictions on people's eligibility for SNAP, that Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
123
The policy change could also leave millions of children without access to free school meals.
124
The news outlet
125
New York Focus has uncovered a 2023 lawsuit in which two former
126
Cornell students say the university's
127
Title IX office ignored their complaints that the same male student sexually assaulted them in 2018 and 2021.
128
A complaint filed by one of the students and their lawyers say, quote, at least five to 10 others are known to have been sexually abused.
129
It's believed many more were abused but have yet to come forward, unquote.
130
Cornell University and the male student tried to have the case dismissed, but a trial is scheduled for next year.
131
The lawsuit follows another high profile lawsuit filed by Jane Doe
132
in September over an alleged fraternity gang rape at Cornell in 2024,
133
prompting a massive public outcry and leading to New York Attorney General Letitia James to order a new investigation.
134
In the United Kingdom, the comedian, actor and podcaster Russell Brand has been sentenced to 10
135
and a half years in prison for raping a fan and sexually assaulting three other women.

137
This is Judge Joel Benethen.
138

and charismatic you had also become a sexual predator in California

148
Palestinian -American writer and businessman Ahmed Moore launched a 2028
149
Democratic primary challenge Monday against
150
Senator John Fetterman, who's an ardent defender of Israel.
151
Moore is a regular columnist at publications, including The Guardian and The Nation.
152
He's running as a democratic socialist connecting U .S military aid to Israel
153
and the Trump administration's war on Iran to the rising cost of living.
154
This is Ahmed Moore speaking with Democracy Now! in 2024 about his family in Gaza.
155
My family's experienced direct loss through the genocide.
156

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
