Democrats are openly calling to abolish the Department of Homeland Security — not just ICE. Meanwhile, after $175 billion to defend Europe, allies are cutting deals with China and denying U.S. requests. Tara connects the dots on border policy, midterms, and a global realignment few are talking about.

Woke up this morning to the news that Britain's former Prince Andrew had been arrested because of his involvement with Epstein. Also found out that South Korea just sentenced their former president to life in prison for temporarily imposing martial law. But here in America, we don't hold our former president accountable for trying to overthrow an election, and we're not holding our rich & powerful accountable for being involved with a notorious sex trafficker.

A year into Donald Trump's second term, the United States' allies on both sides of the Atlantic seem to have recognized that they need a new strategy for this age of rupture, as Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney called it. Trump's grab for Greenland, his tit-for-tat tariffs on Canada, his approach in Ukraine—all have opened up rifts between the United States and many of its closest partners. Chrystia Freeland has for years been on the frontlines of the battle for the future of the alliance as Canada's foreign minister, deputy prime minister, and finance minister—roles in which she went head-to-head with the Trump administration on a host of fraught issues. She recently left the Canadian government to serve as a volunteer adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. As much as Freeland sees the cracks in the relationship, she still stresses the imperative of making the alliance despite them. Freeland and Dan Kurtz-Phelan spoke on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference on February 15 about how to negotiate with Trump, what Ukraine can offer Europe and the United States, and why American allies must rethink their approach to this moment.

Regaining clarity at work is one of the biggest challenges developers face as responsibilities grow, distractions multiply, and expectations rise. Burnout rarely appears overnight. More often, it creeps in quietly—through constant context switching, mental fatigue, and the feeling that you're busy all day but not making real progress. For developers and technical leaders, clarity isn't a "nice to have." It's what allows you to make good decisions, focus deeply, and enjoy the work you're doing. Without it, even small tasks feel heavier than they should. About Andrew Hinkelman Andrew Hinkelman is a certified executive coach and former Chief Technology Officer who works with tech founders, CTOs, and engineering leaders to strengthen their leadership and people skills. With over 25 years of corporate experience, including 8 years as a CTO, Andrew understands firsthand the pressures technical leaders face as they move from hands-on execution to leading teams and organizations. His coaching focuses on helping leaders build trust, develop others, and stay strategic as responsibilities grow. Andrew's philosophy is simple: all professional development is personal improvement. After experiencing burnout in his own leadership journey—constantly stepping in to fix problems and being needed by everyone—he learned the value of trusting his team instead of controlling outcomes. Today, Andrew helps leaders avoid that same trap by building resilient teams, focusing on relationships, and creating environments where others can succeed. Follow Andrew on Instagram and LinkedIn. Why Regaining Clarity at Work Matters for Developers When regaining clarity at work starts to slip, the symptoms are subtle at first. Decisions take longer. You second-guess yourself more often. Work that once felt engaging starts to feel draining. This isn't a motivation problem. It's a clarity problem. Developers often push through this phase by working longer hours, assuming effort will fix it. In reality, the lack of clarity compounds the problem—leading to frustration, reduced quality, and eventually burnout. How Distractions Undermine Regaining Clarity at Work Modern work environments make regaining clarity at work especially difficult. Messages, emails, meetings, and notifications constantly pull attention away from focused thinking. Even well-intentioned tools can fragment your day into shallow work. The issue isn't that developers aren't capable of focus—it's that focus is constantly interrupted. Over time, this makes it harder to think clearly, prioritize effectively, or feel confident in decisions. The result is mental overload, not progress. Regaining Clarity at Work Through Better Daily Habits One of the most practical ways to regain clarity at work is by examining daily habits. Not in a rigid or extreme way, but by noticing patterns. What creates a good day? What leaves you feeling depleted? Sleep, movement, downtime, and boundaries play a much larger role in clarity than most developers expect. Clarity isn't created in moments of intensity—it's supported by consistency. Self-Discipline as a Foundation for Regaining Clarity at Work Self-discipline is often misunderstood as pushing harder. In reality, it's about protecting the habits that keep your energy stable. Waiting for weekends or vacations to reset burnout doesn't work if every weekday drains you. Regaining clarity at work means building routines that prevent depletion before it happens. Regaining Clarity at Work by Trusting Yourself When developers feel stuck, the instinct is often to search for more input—another article, another video, another framework. But more information rarely creates clarity. In many situations, you already know how to handle the challenge in front of you. Learning to pause, quiet your mind, and trust your experience can be more effective than consuming more advice. Regaining clarity at work often comes from removing noise, not adding insight. Regaining Clarity at Work with Allies and Peer Support Clarity is much easier to regain when you're not working in isolation. Talking through challenges with trusted peers helps break mental loops and introduce new perspectives. These allies don't need to be your manager. In fact, regaining clarity at work often comes faster when support comes from peers across teams or outside your organization—people who understand the context but aren't tied to the outcome. Expanding Beyond Your Manager to Regain Clarity at Work Strong peer relationships act as soundboards. They help you reality-check assumptions, think through decisions, and feel less alone in complex situations. Over time, these relationships become one of the most reliable ways to avoid burnout. Regaining Clarity at Work with Coaching and AI Tools Coaching and AI tools can both support regaining clarity at work, but they serve different roles. Some developers find value in AI prompts or structured reflection. Others need human conversation, body language, and shared experience. For many, a hybrid approach works best—using tools when they're helpful, and people when nuance, accountability, or emotional context matters. The goal isn't to replace connection, but to support clarity when it's needed most. Signs You're Losing Clarity at Work Constant distraction, overthinking, and decision fatigue Relying on weekends or time off as the only recovery strategy Simple Habits That Restore Clarity Daily actions that protect energy and focus Consistency over intensity when rebuilding clarity When to Use Coaching, AI, or Allies Choosing the right support for the situation Combining human insight with practical tools Conclusion Regaining clarity at work isn't about doing more—it's about doing what matters consistently. By protecting your energy, trusting yourself, and leaning on the right support, developers can avoid burnout and move forward with confidence. Take one small step this week toward regaining clarity at work, and start building habits that support sustainable, focused growth.

This episode presents an overview of the Brusilov Offensive of 1916, Russia’s most successful campaign of World War I. General Alexei Brusilov’s innovative tactics—focused artillery barrages, surprise attacks, and small, specialized assault units—devastated the Austro-Hungarian forces and captured vast territory. But although the offensive caused over a million Central Powers casualties and prompted Romania to join the Allies, it also exhausted Russia’s manpower and supplies. Though hailed as a tactical masterpiece, it ultimately marked the high point of Russia’s war effort and foreshadowed the internal collapse that lay ahead.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWThis episode hits the uncomfortable reality a lot of people don't want to admit. The damage to America's global credibility did not magically disappear. Our allies are watching closely and recalculating what they can and cannot rely on.Trust between nations is not something you flip back on with a press release. Once confidence gets dented, it takes years to rebuild. Right now the United States is being stress tested on the world stage whether people want to acknowledge it or not.I'm also sounding off on the Epstein situation and why the endless spin cycle is exhausting the public's patience. People want accountability and they want answers, not another round of political tap dancing.If you've been listening but staying quiet, now is the time to speak up. Your voice matters more than you think, and silence only helps the people who are counting on you to tune out.Let me know your thoughtsWolfPackTalks@gmail.comAnd I'll take that one step further. If you say you care about democracy and the rule of law, then it's time to prove it. This is the moment to stop sitting on the sidelines and actually step up instead of just watching the political temperature keep rising.If you are against dictatorship, if you are against fascism, and if you are fed up with the Trump and MAGA chaos, then the WOLF organization was built for you.

In Davos last month, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney lamented what he called “the end of a pleasant fiction.” That notion has is hard to fathom yet impossible to ignore. For decades, the United States did not merely wield power. It framed power in moral terms. Legitimacy. Integrity. Rules. Whether we always lived up to those words is one question. Whether we still speak them with credibility is another. In this solo reflection, Corey Nathan explores what it means when America is no longer the country that lends moral language to the world order, but the country other nations feel compelled to hedge against. From Tocqueville's warning about democratic withdrawal to Jonathan Rauch's analysis of patrimonialism, from Lincoln's humility to the theological posture of the National Prayer Breakfast, this episode wrestles with a turning point. If the pleasant fiction is over, what replaces it?

Integrity and legitimacy were not just strategic tools but aspirations. Today, that language lands differently, not as calling card but as indictment. From Moral Order to Patrimonialism Drawing on the work of Jonathan Rauch, this episode examines what happens when public power begins to resemble personal property. Loyalty replaces rules. Access depends on fealty. Markets and institutions begin to read the room rather than uphold neutral principles. The National Prayer Breakfast and Theological Posture A prayer breakfast is meant to orient upward in humility. When reverence bends inward, the shift is not merely stylistic. It is theological. Tocqueville's Warning Democracy's danger may not arrive as sudden tyranny but as gradual withdrawal. Citizens retreat into private grievance. Moral discipline erodes. Individualism curdles into narcissism. The Comforting Assumption About Ourselves Nearly every white pastor today believes they would have stood with Martin Luther King Jr. The question is not whether that belief is sincere. The question is whether it would have been true. The Choice Before Citizens The world is already adjusting. Allies hedge. Middle powers collaborate. The question now belongs to citizens, not prime ministers. Withdrawal is understandable. It is not inevitable. Why This Matters Now The loss at stake is not only status but trust. If the pleasant fiction required tending, then its collapse requires responsibility. Renewal, if it comes, will not arrive through taunts or spectacle. It will be decided by habits, by courage, by whether citizens retreat or step forward. Connect on Social Media Corey is @coreysnathan on all the socials...

Michael sits down with 2WAY/Next Up host Mark Halperin to unpack the latest developments in the Jeffrey Epstein saga—including new document releases, testimony fallout, and fresh scrutiny surrounding President Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. Did Trump alert authorities about Epstein years ago? Why won't the story fade—and who could still be exposed? Plus, Halperin breaks down the early 2026 midterm outlook, why Democrats may be favored to retake the House, and whether Jon Ossoff's viral “Epstein class” speech offers a roadmap for the party. They also examine whether today's media is missing bigger global stories in favor of political spectacle. Original air date 11 February 2026. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

SummaryIn this episode of "The Right Side Up," hosts James Sholl and Danielle Strickland engage in a profound conversation with Dorothy Greco about her book, "For the Love of Women: Uprooting and Healing Misogyny in America." The discussion delves into the complexities of misogyny, exploring its pervasive impact across various spheres of life, including healthcare, the workplace, and the church. Greco shares her personal journey, highlighting her experiences as a woman navigating a male-dominated world and the importance of addressing misogyny to foster healing and empowerment for women. The conversation emphasizes the need for men to listen, learn, and become allies in the fight against misogyny, ultimately advocating for a more inclusive and equitable society.'You can't heal what you won't name and talk about.'Takeaways* ‘You can't heal what you won't name and talk about.'* ‘Misogyny is a persistent, insidious belief that men's ideas are more important than women's.'* ‘If you don't fit the stereotype, you feel the effects of rejection and identity issues.'* ‘Change is hard work, and it takes a long time to challenge presuppositions.'* ‘Men need to learn what it means to listen to and value women.'Chapters00:00 Introduction to Dorothy Greco and Her Book01:04 Dorothy's Background and Journey08:55 Defining Misogyny and Its Impact16:37 Men as Allies in the Fight Against Misogyny23:55 The Role of the Church in Addressing Misogyny30:16 Transformative Change and Empowerment for Women40:35 Hope for Future GenerationsFollow more of Dorothy's work here James, Danielle's co-host, is the pastor of Wellspring Worship Centre in Toronto which you can find out more about hereRight Side Up: Danielle Strickland is a reader-supported publication.

Can we build an economy that delivers abundance without abandoning democratic accountability and economic equity? Recorded live at Democracy Journal's “Can't We All Just Get Along?” conference, this episode features a wide-ranging panel discussion on one of the most consequential debates shaping today's political economy: whether abundance and social democracy are in tension—or whether they're mutually reinforcing. Moderated by Ed Luce of the Financial Times, the panel brings together Baillee Brown (Inclusive Abundance), Jerusalem Demsas (The Argument), Mike Konczal (Economic Security Project), and Sandeep Vaheesan (Open Markets Institute) to wrestle with what it actually takes to deliver housing, clean energy, and public goods at scale—without ceding power to concentrated markets or hollowing out democratic governance. At a moment of deep political discontent and institutional distrust, this conversation helps clarify the real choices facing policymakers—and why getting this balance right is essential to rebuilding public faith in government. Ed Luce (moderator) is the U.S. national editor and a columnist at the Financial Times, where he writes on American politics, democracy, and global political economy. Baillee Brown (panelist) is a policy advocate and the founder of Inclusive Abundance, where she works with lawmakers to advance a pro-building, outcomes-focused approach to delivering housing, clean energy, and public goods. Jerusalem Demsas (panelist) is founder and Editor in Chief of The Argument a publication and podcast covering housing, economic policy, and the politics of affordability. Mike Konczal (panelist) is the Senior Director of Policy and Research at the Economic Security Project, where he focuses on inequality, housing, industrial policy, and the political economy of growth. Sandeep Vaheesan (panelist) is the legal director at the Open Markets Institute and a leading voice on antitrust, corporate power, and the role of public authority in building a more equitable economy.

Our region is facing tremendous setbacks for salmon populations and Northwest tribal treaty rights. Fish runs continue to fall short while Indigenous communities bear the brunt of climate change, political polarization, and existential threats to their way of life. Tribes can't overcome these issues alone, but it's not just a matter of finding allies — it's how to get them in the game. The Billy Frank Jr. Salmon Coalition, formed by Salmon Defense, has taken an innovative approach to protect salmon, restore ecosystems, and build climate resilience by uniting unexpected allies, who have often been at odds in the past. This diverse coalition includes tribal leaders, scientists, state and local officials, fishers, attorneys, conservation groups, and local industries. Join us on Indigenous Peoples' Day, for a conversation offering a timely reminder that Indigenous knowledge systems are not only vital to climate resiliency but must also be centered in policy-driven solutions. See how cross-cultural dialogue can help foster creativity and how lasting alliances are strengthened by collaboration amongst groups with different viewpoints. Peggen Frank (SeiiNiiSeii) is a leader in salmon conservation, tribal advocacy, and treaty rights protection. Since joining Salmon Defense in 2011, she has helped grow the nonprofit into a powerful conservation organization focused on education, advocacy, and litigation. Her key projects include the Billy Frank Jr. curriculum, a sčədadxʷ (salmon) education video, and the Salmon Warriors campaign. Peggen is an enrolled member of the Northern Arapaho Tribe, born and raised on the Wind River Indian Reservation, and now lives in the homelands of the Nisqually Indian people. As Executive Director of Salmon Defense, Peggen manages the likeness and legacy of Billy Frank Jr., ensuring his influence inspires future generations. Kadi Bizyayeva is the Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians vice-chairwoman, fisheries director, and Northwest Indian Fisheries commissioner. She was also appointed to the Washington Salmon Recovery Funding Board by Gov. Jay Inslee. Kadi is passionate about her role protecting and conserving tribal treaty rights and believes in honest co-management and finding common ground. Her experience includes assisting with project oversight and policy guidance, as well as accounting and administration in several roles within the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission and the Stillaguamish Tribes' Natural Resources Department, where she has worked since 2013. Along with her professional roles and achievements, Kadi is also a wife, mother, and a tribal fisher and hunter. Ron Garner is president of the Puget Sound Anglers State Board, a member of the Billy Frank Jr. Salmon Coalition and a key member of the Western Washington sportfishing community. In 2018, he had the rare honor for a nontribal member – let alone a sportfisherman – of attending a Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission meeting. Ron is passionate about advocating for habitat restoration and reconnection in the Stillaguamish River watershed to promote healthy salmon populations, particularly endangered Chinook. His experience also includes serving on several Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife advisory committees and task forces related to marine wildlife. Along with his sportfishing community leadership experience and advocacy, Ron is a self-employed commercial construction business owner. William Frank III served on the Nisqually Tribal Council for many years in several roles, including chairman, and currently serves as chairman of the Wa He Lut Indian School and the Salmon Defense board. He also runs Medicine Creek Tribal Strategies, an independent consulting firm. William is the son of the late Billy Frank Jr., a nationally recognized leader and activist for tribal rights and protecting salmon. His father helped tribes win the landmark 1975 court case that recognized treaty rights and made tribes co-managers of the salmon resource. This court decision completely changed the landscape in Washington after the Fish Wars or 'fish-ins' of the 1960s and 1970s, a series of civil disobedience protests where tribal fishers were arrested, beaten, and jailed for fishing off reservation in their 'usual and accustomed fishing grounds' – as granted by the treaties negotiated in the mid-1800s. As a leader, fisher, and member of the Billy Frank Jr. Salmon Coalition, he carries on his father's legacy of bringing together diverse groups of experts to advocate for salmon and the environment. Cecilia Gobin (dzahdzah'lahk) is a member of the Tulalip Tribes, based in Tulalip, Washington. She is an experienced Policy Analyst, currently working with the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission (NWIFC) where she focuses on the protection and advancement of tribal treaty rights and resources, including habitat protection and salmon recovery. Prior to NWIFC, Cecilia worked in cultural resources for the Tulalip Tribes, and also for the U.S. House of Representatives' House Natural Resources Committee's Office of Indian Affairs, working with policy and legislation related to natural resources and the effects for tribes in Indian Country. She is also a lifetime commercial fisher and remains deeply connected to her community and traditional lifeways. Lisa Wilson has extensive experience in fisheries policy and treaty rights protection. She earned a bachelor's degree in Native Environmental Science from Northwest Indian College, where she produced the documentary Time Immemorial: A Fishing History of the Lummi People as her capstone project. Lisa primarily serves as an elected member of the Lummi Indian Business Council and as vice chair of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission. She is also on the Salmon Defense board, co-chairs the Natural Resources Committee for the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians and the Lands and Natural Resources Committee for the National Congress of American Indians and is the former Endangered Species Act manager for Lummi Natural Resources. Presented by Town Hall Seattle and the Billy Frank Jr. Salmon Coalition.

During World War II, Thailand found itself in a precarious position as global conflict engulfed Southeast Asia. Between 1941 and 1944, Thailand navigated a delicate path between cooperation with Imperial Japan and maintaining ties with the Allies. As Japan launched its invasion of British Malaya and Singapore, Thailand's strategic geography made it a crucial player in the region. Rather than fully aligning with one side, the Thai government under Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram adopted a policy that, in practice, involved playing both sides, a gamble that reflected both opportunism and survival instinct.

In this episode of China Decode, Alice Han and James Kynge unpack how China is reshaping global power—sometimes loudly, sometimes through pandas, ports, and pop culture. As Donald Trump warns allies like the U.K. and Canada that getting closer to Beijing is “dangerous,” reality tells a messier story: British pharma giant AstraZeneca is cutting billion-dollar deals in China, Japan is losing its last pandas amid rising tensions, and Washington is scrambling to blunt China's grip on critical minerals. They also dive into a Panamanian court ruling that just blew up a Hong Kong firm's control over key canal ports—an apparent U.S. win that could quickly become a new U.S.–China flashpoint over one of the world's most important trade chokepoints. And finally, they decode the viral idea that everyone is living a “very Chinese time,” from wellness trends to memes, and what it says about growing American disillusionment—and China's evolving soft power. Why does all this matter? Because these fights aren't abstract: they affect supply chains, prices, travel, jobs, and how the next generation sees America's place in the world.
