Pacifica designated agent to receive notice of claimed infringements:
President-elect Donald Trump has tapped several TV personalities for key posts in his incoming administration, including Dr. Mehmet Oz to run the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, an agency that oversees health coverage for 150 million people. Oz, who ran an unsuccessful campaign for Senate in Pennsylvania in 2022, supports privatizing Medicare. “His background really has nothing to do with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services,” says Dr. Robert Steinbrook, director of the Health Research Group for Public Citizen.
President-elect Trump has announced his nomination of billionaire Linda McMahon to head the Department of Education, which Trump has pledged to shut down. McMahon is the former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment and also headed the Small Business Administration during Trump’s first term. “President-elect Trump has a habit of choosing people who have either a desire to destroy the department or who have no experience. She falls into the latter category: She does not have any experience in education,” says education historian Diane Ravitch, who served as assistant secretary of education under President George H.W. Bush.
KPFK's Rebel Alliance News, our nightly weekday English-language locally produced newscast, is on an indefinite hiatus while we retool our all-volunteer evening newscast to overcome persistent problems.

As a bassist, Rob was an early member of The Grass Roots and Little Feet.
The dour Mr. Darcy is anything but popular with the Bennets, especially when he fancies a member of their clan. And as Elizabeth reluctantly deals with Mr. Darcy’s advances, their romance seems destined to fail. Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice set the standard for romantic comedies when it debuted in 1813, and it still speaks to audiences worldwide. Adapted for the stage by Christina Calvit. Includes a roundtable interview with the cast.
Okay. The best way to take in today's BradCast is simply to listen to it. That is almost always the case, but especially today. The stuff you are tuning in for is likely right up front today. [Audio link to full show follows this summary.] I have been hearing from a lot of listeners of [...]

Donald Trump has confirmed that he plans to declare a national emergency on immigration and rely on the U.S. military to deport millions of immigrants.
Reflecting the national mood that resulted in Donald Trump’s presidential victory, Californians also succumbed to the politics of fear.
