Attention is the world's most valuable commodity.If you have a smartphone your attention is being quietly siphoned away from you. 30 minutes here, an hour there. It's subtle and more dangerous than most of us will give credit.If your life is where your attention goes then, not to be too dramatic but your life is being stolen.I do believe it's theft because it's not accidental, it's by design and I think we should be angry about it. Sure, we all enjoy certain aspects of being online but the game is not our enjoyment. Tech companies want us so addicted that we're online 24/7.This all sounds like I'm leading towards the magic solution. Sorry, I don't know the answer, I'm just as addicted as you. I'm hopeful though, because I'm at stage 1 - admitting I have a problem. From here we can start to work out some solutions.This week's guest is August Lamm and she has found a solution, albeit a drastic one - she's ditched the internet altogether.Some people can get quite angry about this decision, they think August is selfish and entitled.I'll be honest, we're lucky that this interview even happened. My UK number wasn't working properly in New York. I could get imessage, but that's no good for August's brick phone.Share this episode with a friend (not if they're offline though)There were times when I was trying to contact August but the New York Library was closed. One day I got a string of emails, ending with “I'm going to have to go. I'm using the computers in the Apple store and they're getting pissed off with me”It's slightly annoying to arrange meetings with an offline person. I'm sure August faces some of these difficulties every day. But I really don't think it's anything to be mad about. Your sanity is your responsibility and if that means not participating with what everyone else deems normal, so be it.I deleted WhatsApp about 7 years ago. I know it's a pain for some people but I will never go back and if you really want to speak to me you'll work it out.I've lost friends because I don't drink alcohol.I leave parties at 9pm because I go to bed at 10.Your most important people will understand.When I first went sober it definitely wasn't the norm. Now if you don't drink, it's pretty universally accepted.Maybe it'll be that way with the internet someday. Maybe we'll recognise that scrolling is worse than smoking. Maybe more and more of us will get offline.There are dumb phone communities popping up here and there and it feels like collectively we're all starting to agree that our screen time is too high. Ditching the internet does feel extreme though and I really want to believe that there are less dramatic actions we can take. August disagrees. Only time will tell.

Michael Wolff, the best-selling author who was tapped by Jeffrey Epstein to write his biography spills the secrets of the pedophile—and of Donald Trump.

He and Joanna Coles also analyze exactly what Trump means by building a new ballroom at the White House and what it says about the man in the Oval Office. Hosted on Acast.

The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) report into Jeffrey Epstein's 2019 death concluded that his death was the result of suicide by hanging and attributed the failures leading up to it to gross negligence, understaffing, and systemic incompetence at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York. The report cited numerous violations of protocol, including broken security cameras, falsified logs, and inattentive guards who were allegedly browsing the internet instead of checking on Epstein. It acknowledged that Epstein should never have been removed from suicide watch and that his cellmate had been inexplicably transferred the night before his death. While the OIG faulted the Bureau of Prisons for widespread mismanagement, it ultimately found no criminal conspiracy or outside foul play.Despite its official conclusions, the report left glaring holes that continue to fuel widespread skepticism. It failed to explain how one of the most high-profile inmates in the federal system—who had allegedly attempted suicide weeks earlier and had damaging information on powerful individuals—was left entirely unsupervised in a cell with malfunctioning cameras and bedsheets strong enough to hang himself. The absence of forensic clarity, the refusal to address Epstein's connections to intelligence agencies or influential elites, and the fact that key witnesses were never publicly questioned leaves many believing the investigation was designed to close a door, not open one. The OIG may have issued its findings, but for much of the public and many experts, the most important questions remain unanswered.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:DOJ issues scathing rebuke of Bureau of Prisons detailing multiple failures that led to Jeffrey Epstein's suicide | CNN Politics
High society in New York City embraced Jeffrey Epstein with open arms, not in spite of his reputation, but because of his perceived wealth, connections, and elitist mystique. Epstein was a fixture at galas, dinner parties, and charity events, rubbing shoulders with billionaires, media moguls, Ivy League academics, and even royalty. He was treated as an intellectual financier with a private jet and a Rolodex that included presidents and Nobel laureates. Manhattan's social elite didn't just tolerate him—they invited him in, granting him access to the city's most exclusive rooms, often overlooking or dismissing the disturbing rumors swirling around him. His presence was seen as a social asset, not a liability, and that blind spot helped shield him for decades.Even after his 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor, many in New York's elite circles remained silent or continued associating with him. Powerful individuals who claimed to value social justice, women's rights, or public morality had no problem sitting at Epstein's table or accepting his donations. His townhouse on East 71st Street became a symbol of this hypocrisy—a place where the rich and influential gathered, even as it doubled as a crime scene. The refusal of New York's elite to disavow him until it became socially untenable underscores a culture where money and proximity to power trumped basic decency. Epstein thrived not in the shadows—but in the very heart of high society, protected by a willful blindness that still hasn't been fully reckoned with.

Israel has faced fierce criticism at the UN Security Council in New York of its plan to step up the war in Gaza. Britain's envoy said an expanded offensive would open the way to more bloodshed. But the US representative insisted Israel could decide how to ensure its own security. Also, the Met Police says the majority of the more than 500 people arrested for supporting the banned group Palestine Action yesterday were aged over 50. And the voice of Mr Benn -- the actor Ray Brooks -- has died.

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 126 - "The Seneca Drums" On this episode we head to the beautiful finger lakes of update New York. Among the picturesque scenery we have the setting for a bonafide scientific mystery, the Seneca Drums. These unaccounted for booms are labeled as everything from sky quakes, seismic activity, geologic gas, distant thunder and everything in between. But what is the source of the loud noises that pierce the otherwise tranquil landscape? Scientific conjecture seems to be coming up short. Or, does this deep lake hold even more secrets?

Glenn Dubin is a billionaire hedge fund manager and major figure in New York's high society whose long, troubling relationship with Jeffrey Epstein went far beyond casual acquaintance. Even after Epstein's 2008 conviction for sex crimes involving a minor, Dubin — along with his wife, Eva Andersson-Dubin — kept him close, inviting him into their home, allowing him to spend holidays like Thanksgiving with their children, and maintaining financial and social ties. This wasn't ignorance; it was an active choice to normalize a convicted sex offender in one of Manhattan's most influential households, effectively lending Epstein the legitimacy he needed to remain welcome in elite circles.Dubin's continued embrace of Epstein, despite years of mounting allegations and sworn victim testimony naming him as a participant in Epstein's abuse, reveals a staggering moral blindness — or worse, a conscious decision to protect a friend whose crimes were well-documented. By keeping the door open for Epstein socially, professionally, and philanthropically, Dubin became part of the protective cocoon that allowed Epstein to survive and thrive after his conviction. In doing so, he not only damaged his own reputation beyond repair but also exemplified the elite complicity that kept Epstein's network intact long after it should have collapsed.And that's not even the worst of what Glenn Dubin has been accused of...to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In this episode, I take you live through a huge breakthrough moment I just had.I'm diving deep into the frequency of fun — the high-frequency joy, delight, and ease that we all deserve. But along the way, I'll also explore the shadow side of fun and how it's impacted me personally and spiritually. This episode is recorded live in the moment of my own breakthrough, and I'm inviting you into this real-time reflection.What You'll Hear:A Life of Luxury & Fun: Picture this: standing in the Caribbean ocean, cocktail in hand, chatting with a client, while being paid well for the privilege. Or, racing through New York on a hot summer day, texting, running errands, and simultaneously experiencing bliss. This is the fun frequency, and it's been a recurring theme in my life as a manifestation coach.The Internal Struggle: But here's where it gets interesting — I've recently felt a constriction around sharing the ease and luxury of my life. Why do we feel uncomfortable showing our joy and success? Why is it easier to share our struggles, but harder to share the bliss?The Spiritual Community's Invisible Structure: I talk about the spiritual community's subtle, yet powerful, constraints. The unspoken rules that often suppress our fun, pleasure, and ease. I reflect on how these energies impact not just me, but many women in this space, keeping them from fully stepping into their bliss and abundance.Breaking Through to Higher Frequencies: It's time to break through the fear of being judged for living a life of ease. I'm calling out the sacred yes and reclaiming the fun, high-frequency life that's available to all of us. Let's explore how to move past fear and step into the true joy of manifestation.[5:00] My breakthrough moment: Why I've been hiding the fun side of my life.[12:30] The discomfort of sharing ease and success — and why it feels unsafe to some women in the spiritual space.[22:00] Exploring the “spiritual community's invisible structure” and how it subtly holds us back from stepping into our bliss.[32:00] The power of the sacred yes in manifestation: how fun and joy are essential to bringing our manifestations to life.[40:00] Breaking through to high frequencies: Embracing bliss, luxury, and fun as part of our manifestation process.The Breakthrough Realized:For too long, I've subconsciously hidden the joy of my life — whether it's a spontaneous, joyful purchase or a luxurious call from the middle of the ocean. But in doing so, I realize that the true manifestation magic happens when we embrace both the bliss and the breakthroughs. Life is not just about surviving or enduring; it's about embracing the beauty of it all — the light, the love, the luxury, and yes, the fun!Listen now to hear how I'm making a breakthrough in sharing all of it: the success, the fun, and the luxury — and what that truly means for your own manifestation journey.Key Moments in This Episode:Are You Ready to Step into Your Bliss and Abundance?This episode invites you to reflect on where you might be holding back your joy and ease. Are you allowing yourself to fully experience the fun and pleasure that life has to offer? It's time to break free from the constraints and step into a life that's as luxurious as it is full of joy.Thank you for listening to this breakthrough episode. If you're ready to live your manifestation journey with more fun, ease, and abundance, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Come find me on Instagram or send me a message. Remember, the sacred yes is the key to unlocking everything you desire.Join the conversationFollow Jess Fenton on Instagram @goinward.co.uk for more insights, breakthroughs, and high-frequency inspiration.Call to Action:If you loved this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs to hear this breakthrough.

Bad Bunny's massive Puerto Rico residency is the week's headline. WPLG Local 10 reports he's midway through his 30-show “No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí” run at San Juan's Coliseo de Puerto Rico, drawing 18,000 per night and projected to inject roughly $200 million into the island's economy, from hotels and restaurants to small venues near the arena, according to local entrepreneurs and Puerto Rico's governor Jenniffer González Colón encouraging visitors to “come, enjoy the concert, enjoy the island.” WPLG Local 10 and Local10.com both highlight how the residency is reshaping summer tourism and local business momentum around the Coliseo.There was also tragic news tied to the influx. The Los Angeles Times reports a 25-year-old visitor from New York, in Puerto Rico for the residency, was fatally shot early Sunday in La Perla; police say he was an innocent bystander and two locals were also wounded. KSAT corroborates details from police that the incident occurred after an argument at a La Perla nightspot and that the victim's friends had traveled for one of the 30 shows.On the cultural front around the residency, the Los Angeles Times' De Los coverage shows how the moment is sparking art and community action. Local artists, with advocacy group Mijente and collective AgitArte, launched the “De Aquí Nadie Nos Saca” exhibition in Santurce, explicitly in conversation with Bad Bunny's album Debí Tirar Más Fotos and the residency's title, framing it as a statement against displacement and for cultural sovereignty. The piece also notes AgitArte's Papel Machete contributed the giant puppet seen in the “La Mudanza” video, tightening the feedback loop between the music, visuals, and on-the-ground art-making during show weeks.Social media keeps feeding the residency's pop-culture gravity. The Washington Post's Instagram highlighted that Bad Bunny opened the run in July with initial dates reserved for Puerto Rico residents, underscoring the hometown-first approach to access. An Instagram post circulating this weekend shows Bad Bunny spotted in Puerto Rico alongside Austin Butler and director Darren Aronofsky, a reminder that the residency is doubling as a magnet for international creatives visiting the island.For listeners tracking the music arc that's powering this summer, Wikipedia's Debí Tirar Más Fotos entry outlines the January 5 album drop, a string of videos through July, and the May announcement of the Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour starting in November across Europe, Australia, Japan, and Latin America. Wikipedia's Bad Bunny page further notes a July 14 single, “Alambre Púa,” extending the album's life into the residency window, and places the 30-date San Juan run from early July to mid-September with the first nine dates exclusive to locals. NPR's Tiny Desk performance from April sits upstream of this residency, seeding the live band identity listeners are now seeing scaled up at the Coliseo.A quick pulse check on the business and audience impact: Local 10's reporting emphasizes spillover to neighborhood venues near the arena and portrays San Juan as a summer destination anchored by the shows. The Los Angeles Times' community angles suggest the residency is as much a cultural ground game as it is a concert series, inviting visitors to engage beyond the arena while also surfacing the island's ongoing debates over gentrification and self-determination. The shooting in La Perla underscores the safety context visitors are navigating as crowds swell around nightlife hotspots during show weeks, according to police accounts reported by the Los Angeles Times and KSAT.Thanks for tuning in.

Mitch holes up in a private gym for two weeks with his newly acquired sidekick slash personal trainer Andy Richter to transform himself into a muscle-bound caped detective.Endnotes:Louie Anderson, Hi Mom: Stories for My Mother, But You Can Read Them Too (Touchstone Books, New York, 2018) p. ; Capsule Summary: Continuing the Hi Dad formula, a series of letters to the deceased matriarch of the Anderson clan. Thankfully, less traumatized and more jovial than the earlier book, but still weighted down by the plodding conceit. Most interesting aspect is the creation of Christine Baskets as a tribute to his mom and a poignant third (fourth? fifth?) act in a long and varied career. Side note: the hardest I have ever laughed was watching Louie Anderson live at the Paramount Theatre in 1991 with my father. He did a bit about stubbing his toe that had both of us gasping for air and literally falling out of our seats. Cara and I also saw him deliver the JFL keynote address in 2019 afterwhich he posed for selfies with us and was very comforting regarding our recently deceased cat Carl. His books are more therapeutic than hilarious, but he'll always have a very warm place in my heart. Slack Score: 2; Snark Score: 7; Overall FCA ranking: 176Zarna Garg, This American Woman; A One-in-a-Billiion Memoir (Ballantine, New York, 2025) p.227; Capsule Summary: A comedian origin story very much unlike any other. Garg didn't grow up dreaming of being Joan Rivers or anything like that, in fact, she seems to have barely understood that stand up comedy existed before her daughter essentially dared her into it, following a string of entrepreneurial failures. Hers is a story of brutal impoverishment and hardship as a homeless youth on the streets of Mumbai and extraordinary wealth and privelege at various other times of her life. Like her hero and champion Kevin Hart, she is unabashedly ambitious and driven by financial rapacity. I don't love that, and her prolonged tales of frustration with her children's $100,000/year elementary school education were not something I found very relateable/easily identified with. Nevertheless, she is a talented writer and a funny human, and occupies a unique cultural perspective in the world of stand up, which is invaluable and her daughter apparently truly cares for her more than any teenager has ever cared for a parent, so that says everything you need to know about her value as a human. Slack Score: -7; Snark Score: 9; Overall FCA ranking: 115Trrevor Noah, Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood (One World, New York, 2016) p. 43; Capsule Summary: Regardless of your opinion of Noah as a stand up or Daily Show host (pretty mid on both fronts as far as I'm concerned) there's no question that this is a top tier FCB. Noah's story of growing up in South Africa semi-secretly (see the title) is riveting, wryly engaging, and tremendously moving, especially the last chapter on his mother. ; Slack Score: -9; Snark Score: 12; Overall FCA ranking: 8unstoppablefarce.com #comedy #standup #speculativefiction #speculativememoir #neilhamburger #longmontpotioncastle #elephantgraveyard #edinburgh #onemanshow

Ralph welcomes labor organizer Chris Townsend to discuss the current state of the labor movement under the second Trump administration. Then, Ralph talks to journalist Mariah Blake about PFAS and her new book “They Poisoned the World: Life and Death in the Age of Forever Chemicals.”Chris Townsend has been a union member and leader for more than 45 years. He was most recently the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) International Union Organizing Director. Previously he was an International Representative and Political Action Director for the United Electrical Workers Union (UE), and he has held local positions in both the SEIU and UFCW.We've moved up an administrative layer of labor leaders, time markers, folks who see their role as at best guiding the sinking ship, managing the decline, taking best care as they can think of the members as their lives are destroyed, as the employers move to liquidate us.Chris TownsendIn many ways, exceeding the gravity of the political action crisis (our subordination to the Democratic Party, our membership estrangement from the political process, the lack of any significant trade union education of the rank and file other than a few cheap slogans)…is that the crisis that we face is the crisis of our very existence.Chris TownsendIt's far easier to shrink the labor movement than it is to build it and grow it. And that's our job. No other force in the country is going to do the work of adding the many millions of unorganized toilers—I use the word “toilers” very carefully…Toil is really what we've been reduced to, and increasingly so. So there's absolutely, I would indict the labor movement loudly, daily, that there is as yet no understanding that unless we go back out to the unorganized and take the spirit of trade unionism—unity, one for all, take on the employer, organize, defend each other, move forward, recapture some of this gargantuan wealth that we create each day on the job—unless that spirit is returned into an organizing wave or at least an attempt to do this, our fate has been sealed.Chris TownsendMariah Blake is an investigative journalist whose writing has appeared in the New York Times, the Atlantic, Mother Jones, the New Republic, and other publications. She was a Murrey Marder Nieman Fellow in Watchdog Journalism at Harvard University. And she is the author of They Poisoned the World: Life and Death in the Age of Forever Chemicals.PFAS are a large family of chemicals with some pretty amazing properties—they're extremely resistant to heat, stains, water, grease, electrical currents. They stand up to corrosive chemicals that burn through virtually every other material (including, in some cases, steel). And this makes them extremely useful. And as a result, they found their way into thousands of everyday products. On the other hand, they are probably the most insidious pollutants in all of human history. So they stay in the environment for hundreds or even thousands of years. Those that have been studied are highly toxic, even in the most minuscule of doses. And they are literally polluting the entire planet.Mariah BlakeThe way we regulate chemicals in this country at the moment makes zero sense. You do see changes happening in response to the unique threat posed by these chemicals on a state level. And this is really in response to citizen activism. So a number of states are passing laws that have banned the entire class of chemicals. That is not how we regulate chemicals in this country normally. We normally regulate them one by one, but at this moment 30 US states have passed at least 170 laws restricting PFAS, including 16 full or partial bans on the entire class of chemicals in consumer goods.Mariah BlakeThe amazing thing is the families of all these lobbyists have got these chemicals in their own bodies, their own kids, their own infants. I mean, don't they crank that into their daily mission as to how they're going to confront efforts by citizens around the country to ban and regulate these chemicals? How oblivious can you be? These oil and gas executives and lobbyists in Washington, their own families are being contaminated.Ralph NaderThese were people very much like Michael, people who had never taken much of an interest in politics, who'd spent their lives trusting that there were systems in place to protect them. And now that trust had been shattered. But rather than becoming cynical or resigned, they fought like hell to protect their families. And along the way, they discovered these hidden strengths that turned them into really remarkable advocates.Mariah BlakeNews 8/8/25* In Gaza, even the Israeli media is starting to acknowledge the scale of the starvation crisis. The New Yorker reporters, “Channel 12 [Israel's most-watched mainstream news broadcast], aired a series of startling…photographs of emaciated babies, and of children being trampled as they stood in food lines, holding out empty pots…[as well as] pictures of mothers weeping because they had no way to feed their families…Ohad Hemo, the network's correspondent for Palestinian affairs, concluded, ‘There is hunger in Gaza, and we have to say it loud and clear…The responsibility lies not only with Hamas but also with Israel.'” According to the U.N.'s World Food Programme, more than one in three people are not eating for days in a row. Yet, polls show that a “vast majority of Israeli Jews – 79 percent – say they are ‘not so troubled' or ‘not troubled at all' by the reports of famine and suffering among the Palestinian population in Gaza,” according Haaretz. This callous disregard for the lives of Palestinians among Israel's majority population ensures that this humanitarian crisis will worsen even more unless the government faces real external pressure to end the devastation and provide humanitarian aid.* Meanwhile, Axios reports the government of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu “unanimously voted Monday to fire Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, who is currently prosecuting [Netanyahu] for corruption.” As this piece explains, “This is the first time an Israeli government has ever voted to fire an attorney general,” sparking “immediate accusations Netanyahu was seeking to protect himself and his aides.” The Israeli Supreme Court issued an injunction blocking the move. However, this act, and the ensuing backlash, all but guarantees the bombardment of Gaza will continue as Netanyahu uses the campaign as a political liferaft.* Speaking of political crises, a major one is unfolding here at home. In Texas, the Republican-dominated state legislature is seeking to redraw the state's congressional maps to give Republicans five additional seats, which President Trump claims they are “entitled” to, per ABC. This naked power grab has set off a firestorm, with Democratic-controlled states like California and New York vowing to retaliate by redrawing their own maps to maximize their party's advantage. Texas state Democratic legislators, in an attempt to deny Republicans the quorum they need to enact the new maps, have fled to Illinois. Attorney General Ken Paxton has ordered their arrest, but they are seeking safe harbor in Illinois. Gerrymandering has plagued the American body politic since the foundation of the republic; perhaps this new crisis will force a resolution to the issue at the federal level. Then again, probably not.* In more positive legal news, former Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan reports that in an “Important win…A court rejected Google's effort to overturn a unanimous jury verdict finding that Google illegally monopolized key markets.” Crucially, the court also found that “digital monopolies can enjoy the fruits of their illegal conduct even after it stops.” In practice, this ruling means a remedy “may need to go beyond just stopping the illegal behavior so that the market can truly be opened up to competition.” However, Google is still appealing the ruling to the corporate-friendly Supreme Court, so the ultimate fate of this decision remains in the balance.* On Tuesday, the New York Times published an article giving an inside look at financier and pedophile sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein's “Manhattan Lair.” Among other notable features of the seven-story townhouse: a surveillance camera inside Epstein's bedroom. One can only imagine the images it captured. Another notable feature: the preponderance of photographs of powerful and influential figures with Epstein, including Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. Epstein's Saudi connections, including a passport with a fake name and an address in Saudi Arabia which he used to enter several countries, including the Kingdom in the 1980s, have not been deeply probed.* Our remaining stories for this week all revolve around the Trump administration. First, after complaining that the Bureau of Labor Statistics “rigged” economic data to make his administration and Republicans look bad, Trump has fired BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer. As POLITICO notes, budget constraints and workforce cuts have already enfeebled BLS, and the bureau's attempts to insulate itself from political pressure will now be strained to the limit as whomever Trump does install will – implicitly or explicitly – understand that their fate will be tied to reporting out positive economic data. In the long run, this blow against accuracy in official economic reporting could do immense damage to the confidence of those considering investing in the United States.* Another Trump power grab is aimed at the District of Columbia. At 3 a.m. on Sunday, an altercation occurred between two fifteen-year-olds and Edward Coristine, the infamous DOGE staffer nicknamed “Big Balls,” in Washington's Logan Circle neighborhood. According to AP, “the group approached…[Coristine's] car and made a comment about taking it…[he then]...turned to confront the group…the teens then attacked him…officers patrolling nearby intervened…[and] the teens fled on foot.” This objectively strange, though ultimately mundane, attempted carjacking by teenagers has spurred the president to threaten a federal takeover of D.C., even as “violent crime overall is down more than 25% from the same period last year.” This is not the first time Republicans have threatened a federal takeover of the District, and in recent years there have been increasing tensions between the local and federal government – but D.C. is largely powerless to resist as it lacks the constitutional protections of statehood.* The Trump administration is also taking actions that will endanger the health and safety of all Americans. NBC reports Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is terminating 22 contracts, amounting to around $500 million, for research and development of mRNA vaccines. These contracts were awarded through the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, or BARDA. One of these contracts was intended to help develop an mRNA-based vaccine for H5N1, the strain of bird flu that has infected dozens of people in the United States, according to this report. Rick Bright, who directed BARDA through the first Trump administration is quoted saying, “This isn't just about vaccines…It's about whether we'll be ready when the next crisis hits. Cutting mRNA development now puts every American at greater risk.”* Over at the Environmental Protection Agency, the picture is far more muddled. The Washington Post reports that the EPA held a tense meeting this week on its plan to rescind the agency's drinking water standard with regard to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, also known as PFAS. In this meeting, state officials complained that mixed messages from federal regulators were frustrating their efforts. According to the Post “Despite the lack of clarity on what the EPA will do with the standard, states are still on the hook for implementing it.” Steven Elmore, chair of the National Drinking Water Advisory Council, is quoted saying “Certain states have state laws that say their drinking water standard can't be more stringent than the federal law.” At the same time, 250 bills have been introduced in 36 states this year to address PFAS by “banning the chemicals in products, setting maximum levels in drinking water and allocating funding to clean up contamination,” and “Dozens of states have passed regulatory standards for at least one forever chemical in drinking water.” Put simply, chaos and confusion reign, and the American people will pay the price as toxic forever chemicals continue to pollute our drinking water.* Finally, the BBC reports Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has announced plans for the United States to put a nuclear reactor on the moon. According to this piece, this initiative – part of “US ambitions to build a permanent base for humans to live on the lunar surface” – will be fast-tracked through NASA with a goal of being completed by 2030. The BBC astutely observes “questions remain about how realistic the goal and timeframe are, given recent and steep [NASA] budget cuts.” The announcement of this literally outlandish potential boondoggle is driven by an announcement in May by Russia and China that they plan to build an automated nuclear power station on the Moon by 2035. That's right, a second space race is underway, and to paraphrase the 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte, the second time is always a farce.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Leo Fitzpatrick for Living Proof Radio, full episode on the Living Proof Patreon. Leo Fitzpatrick is an artist and actor who first caught public attention as Telly in Larry Clark's controversial 1995 film Kids; a performance that earned him both acclaim and harassment, as some viewers confused him with his character and even blamed him for the film's fictional misdeeds.Aside from acting, Fitzpatrick co‐founded the experimental New York gallery Home Alone Gallery in 2012, later becoming a co-director at the Marlborough Chelsea gallery in Manhattan. His gallery Public Access provided an accessible approach to art to both the viewers and artists that was less common within the New York gallery space.http://livingproofnewyork.com
On today's show we are looking at an echo from the Great Financial Crisis. There was collapse of a banking house of cards triggered a drop in lending liquidity which then precipitated a fall in real estate prices. There were several areas across the US that got caught up in that mess in a big way. On today's show we are looking at which areas of the country are currently experiencing negative equity and comparing them to counties that were similarly affected in the period from 2008-2012. In that time, the recovery only started in 2013. It took a full 8 years for prices to re-normalize in many of those areas. Right now, there are a few areas in California, Florida, New York, Illinois, and Texas that are experiencing negative equity. Washington DC is also on the list, but in my opinion for different reasons.Now I'm not here to tell you that we are experiencing a repeat of 2008. But I find it interesting that some of the same markets that experienced the most negative equity in 2008 are also the same ones experiencing negative equity today in 2025. This is a time when you need to be particularly careful. There are people still quoting growth statistics for these areas that frankly in my estimation are no longer valid. Yes, there are national home builders planning large scale gated communities with thousands of homes in the future. But I can also tell you that these builders will not be building at the same pace in an environment where inventories are surging and equity is evaporating. ----------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1) iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613) Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com) LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce) YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso) Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com) **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital) Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)
On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Chicago's Mayor Brandon Johnson warns of a "point of no return" for city finances amid a $1.1 billion 2026 deficit, pushing for tax hikes like a millionaire tax, corporate head tax and wants progressive revenue options. In On Power, it explains that the progressive movement aims to fundamentally transform America and Western democracies by centralizing government power, diminishing individual freedoms, and reengineering society through soft negative power. Johnson's progressive tax hikes reflects a drive to expand centralized governmental authority, which will erode economic freedoms and individual autonomy in pursuit of societal reengineering. This is what NYC can look forward to if Zohran Mamdani gets elected. Mandami repeatedly trashes America, failed to assimilate, and acting as a revolutionary against the country since his teenage arrival. His Marxist, Islamist, and Jew-hating ideologies echo terrorist lines. Also, On Power describes authoritarian democracy as a gradual slide from democracy into authoritarianism, where power centralizes—often in unelected branches like the judiciary or administrative state, or through excessive executive/legislative dominance—marginalizing citizens. It employs authoritarian tactics softly at first, justifying tyrannical laws or flawed processes simply because they follow legal forms, prioritizing legality over justice or morality. This has permeated Western society, embedding ideas like Marxism unconsciously, as noted by Ludwig von Mises. Later, federalizing Washington D.C. is constitutionally allowed and necessary because local rule has failed amid out-of-control crime like murders and carjackings. D.C. is an overwhelmingly Democrat one-party city that doesn't protect people, despite being the nation's capital where elected officials, staff, judges, and bureaucrats must work.
