La bolla esamina la vita, spesso surreale, degli anziani all'interno di The Villages, la più grande comunità di pensionati d'America. La vita rilassata in pensione sotto il sole della Florida tutto l'anno, tuttavia, non è forse così idilliaca o gradita come gli spettatori potrebbero immaginare.
La bolla esamina in modo approfondito le esclusive esperienze, le convinzioni e la mentalità di sei memorabili residenti di The Villages: Toni e Roger, Jeanie e John, Terry e Toni. Intrecciando queste soddisfatte esistenze di pensionati con le ansie di diversi residenti ... continua

As officials with Hamas say they will respond “soon” to President Trump’s ceasefire proposal to end Israel’s nearly two-year war on Gaza, brokered with Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, we look at the many other deals Witkoff and his family are involved with. A New York Times investigation reveals that when Witkoff, a real estate developer and longtime friend of Trump, began his new position as a diplomat in the Middle East, his son Alex took over his company, the Witkoff Group. Since then, not only has the Witkoff Group continued to ink major deals with ... continua

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is calling for federal agents to pause immigration enforcement in the Chicago area until after Halloween, amid widespread condemnation of violent arrests and confrontations with residents. Meanwhile, the person at the center of much of Chicago’s enforcement, Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino, did a five-hour deposition Thursday in a case challenging federal agents’ treatment of protesters, journalists, children and immigrants. Bovino is “in charge of the Chicago raids. And that style of aggressive, militarized enforcement is ... continua

Celebrations broke out in Gaza and Israel overnight after President Trump announced Israel and Hamas have agreed on the first phase of a hostage-ceasefire deal. Trump said the remaining Israeli hostages held in Gaza would likely be released on Monday.

Eyad Amawi, an aid coordinator who joins us from Deir al-Balah in the Gaza Strip, has “mixed feelings, happiness, worries and hopes” about the deal. He is cautious due to ... continua

As Israel and Hamas exchange living and dead captives as part of a U.S.-backed ceasefire agreement, questions are growing about how sustainable the truce is and whether the two sides will progress to the second and third stages of the plan.
“My family is very happy that the families of other hostages that have been returned, dead and alive, are reaching some degree of closure,” says Middle East historian Joel Beinin, whose Israeli niece, Liat Beinin Atzili, was held captive in Gaza for 54 days after she was taken by Hamas militants on October 7, 2023, while her ... continua

“War is over,” declared Donald Trump Sunday night, as the first phase of the U.S.-backed 20-point Gaza peace plan got underway. Hamas has returned the remaining 20 living hostages back to Israel, while Israel has released around 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. We get a reaction to the ceasefire from the Palestinian writer and human rights activist Ahmed Abu Artema. He recently evacuated Gaza, nearly two years after multiple family members, including his son, were killed in an Israeli military attack. “We cannot say we are happy, because we lost everything,” he ... continua

Israelis, Palestinians and people around the world are marking two years since the October 7 Hamas attack that sparked the war in Gaza. The second anniversary of October 7 comes amid renewed hope for a ceasefire, as mediators from Hamas and Israel meet in Egypt to negotiate over U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan for the future of Gaza. The proposal, like previous ones, calls for a swap of captives, as well as a phased Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza. But major questions remain over what both Israel and Hamas will agree to.
“We welcome any peace ... continua

Over 5000 fossil fuel lobbyists were given access to U.N. climate summits over the past four years, a period marked by a rise in catastrophic extreme weather, adequate climate action and record oil and gas expansion. “This is climate obstruction at work,” says Nina Lakhani, senior climate justice reporter for The Guardian US. She notes that lobbyists attend climate conferences to “promote false solutions like carbon based carbon markets, carbon capture and storage — these market based solutions which are not going to save the planet.”

Arizona Democrat Adelita Grijalva was finally sworn into office by House Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday, fifty days after winning her seat in Congress. Grijalva won a special election to fill the seat left vacant when her father, longtime Congressmember Raúl Grijalva, died in March. Up until yesterday, Johnson had refused to swear in Grijalva in an effort to block her from submitting the final signature on a discharge petition to force a vote on the Justice Department’s full release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. We air Grijalva’s first House speech and speak ... continua
