On Monday, the Senate Finance Committee released their revisions to the "Big Beautiful Bill," pushing for deeper tax cuts and lowering the State and Local Tax (SALT) cap back to $10,000. These changes have sparked some friction between Senate and House Republicans, as President Trump warned that failure to pass his bill could lead to "the highest tax increase in history instead of the greatest tax cut in history." Congressman Mike Lawler (R-NY) joins the Rundown to defend raising the SALT cap to $40,000, and he explains the stakes for the U.S. in the Israel-Iran conflict. Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team members come from diverse backgrounds. Some start their careers in the military, while others are civilians who often find themselves in high-stakes situations. Tommy Wehrle, a SWAT officer, sniper, and former Baltimore County police officer, joins the Rundown to discuss his career and how he joined the SWAT ranks as an elite sniper.

Rose Brady’s job running Baltimore County’s SVU was a frustrating one. The sexual violence crimes she and her team were investigating were just the tip of the iceberg. Her department was sitting on thousands of unsolved rape cases, dating back decades - with little hope of ever finding the perpetrators. That was until Rose made an incredible discovery: At a local hospital, a diligent forensic pathologist had kept in storage all the biological evidence from every rape exam he had ever performed. This could be the key to getting justice for hundreds of desperate women. This is a story of hard work, dogged persistence and a series of incredible coincidences… If you’ve been affected by sexual violence, there are organisations which can help.

This talk explores how the principles and practices of the American public health system can inform and enhance modern cybersecurity strategies. Drawing on insights from our recent CRA Quad Paper, we examine the parallels between public health methodologies and the challenges faced in today's digital landscape. By analyzing historical responses to public health crises, we identify strategies for improving situational awareness, inter-organizational collaboration, and adaptive risk management in cybersecurity. The discussion highlights how lessons from public health can bridge the gap between technical cybersecurity teams and policymakers, fostering a more holistic and effective defense against emerging cyber threats.

A Maryland woman will likely spend decades behind bars for the brutal deaths of her 7-year-old niece and 5-year-old nephew, whose decomposing bodies were discovered in the trunk of her car during a 2021 traffic stop. On Monday, a Baltimore County judge ordered 36-year-old Nicole M. Johnson to serve a life sentence in a state correctional facility, with all but 50 years suspended, after her conviction on two counts of child abuse resulting in death of a child under 13. The victims, identified as 7-year-old Joshlyn Johnson and 5-year-old Larry O'Neal, were found during a late-night traffic stop on July 28, 2021. Baltimore County Police officers with the Essex precinct pulled over Johnson's vehicle near Eastern Boulevard and Wagners Lane in the Back River area. According to court records, Johnson's car was uninsured, unregistered, and equipped with a fake license plate, prompting officers to tow the vehicle. Before the car could be removed, Johnson's alarming statements—“It don't matter, I won't be here in five days” and “ya'll going to see me on the news making my big debut”—led police to investigate further. Officers noticed the smell of decomposition as Johnson removed belongings from her trunk. When they asked to see inside a suitcase Johnson attempted to conceal, they found the body of Joshlyn. They then discovered Larry's remains in a separate plastic tote. Authorities said both children were severely underweight, with Joshlyn weighing only 18 pounds and Larry weighing 21 pounds at the time of their deaths. During her interview with police, Johnson admitted to striking Joshlyn in May 2020 at a motel after she suspected the child had been stealing. She said the child collapsed and remained unresponsive, prompting her to place Joshlyn's body in a suitcase and store it in the trunk for several months. Johnson claimed that Larry died in his sleep about two months before her arrest. The children's mother, Dachelle Johnson, wrote online that she had been trying to regain custody of her children from her sister when Johnson “just disappeared.” She explained that she initially allowed Johnson to watch Joshlyn and Larry because she was unable to care for them at the time. A prearranged exchange never took place; Dachelle only learned of the children's fate after police contacted her about their deaths. “It was supposed to just be a family helping family situation,” Dachelle wrote on a since-deleted fundraising page. “I trusted her… I'll never get to see my kids because of a mistake I made in trusting my sister. I wish I could take it back, but I can't.” Per the court's orders, should Nicole Johnson ever be released, she will be required to serve five years of supervised probation, complete mental health treatment, and have no contact with anyone under the age of 18.    Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The children's mother, Dachelle Johnson, wrote online that she had been trying to regain custody of her children from her sister when Johnson “just disappeared.” She explained that she initially allowed Johnson to watch Joshlyn and Larry because she was unable to care for them at the time. A prearranged exchange never took place; Dachelle only learned of the children's fate after police contacted her about their deaths. “It was supposed to just be a family helping family situation,” Dachelle wrote on a since-deleted fundraising page. “I trusted her… I'll never get to see my kids because of a mistake I made in trusting my sister. I wish I could take it back, but I can't.” Per the court's orders, should Nicole Johnson ever be released, she will be required to serve five years of supervised probation, complete mental health treatment, and have no contact with anyone under the age of 18.

It's been a long time since my 8th grade civics class. I did learn a lot from Mr. Patton back then, but I haven't brushed up on much of what I learned then since. But we're being told a lot of stuff about our government, and the newly empowered administration is doing a lot of things that appear to be not only counter to what I learned, but also unconstitutional. Speaking of the constitution, we hear we're either approaching a constitutional crisis or we're smack dab in the middle of one. But do we really know what a constitutional crisis is. And how do we deal with one when it happens?Tom Schalleris a political science professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. I first met & interviewed him years ago when he was a political columnist for the Baltimore Sun. We also spoke about some of his books including his latest,WHITE RURAL RAGE: THE THREAT TO AMERICAN DEMOCRACY.I couldn't think of a better guest to invite on to help us get back to basics so we can understand what's happening in and to our country today as we attempt to make sense of the nonsensical.We'll start with some of the latest news, then get some important knowledge from Dr. Schaller.

Mickie Kennedy is an expert at helping small businesses, authors, and startups increase their visibility and credibility. 26 years ago, Mickie founded eReleases after realizing that small businesses desperately need a press release distribution service they can afford. While working in PR. Mickie came face to face with customers that wanted to use press releases due to their effectiveness at bringing in business, but could not afford to pay the extremely high startup fees that most agencies charged. Mickie saw an opportunity to help — and eReleases was born. Mickie created eReleases to give small businesses access to the media and to a national newswire – all with a personal touch. eReleases has grown since then and even works with big names now, but the spirit of Mickie's original intent has not changed. eReleases delivers personal service and exceptional value to every customer, with every press release, at every price point. Mickie lives in Baltimore County with his family and two feuding cats. He enjoys British science fiction and acknowledges an unhealthy addiction to diet soda. Mickie holds an MFA in Creative Writing with an emphasis in Poetry from George Mason University. He still writes poetry most Monday nights with a group of fellow misfits in Brunswick, Maryland.

The episode begins with a brief introduction, including a light-hearted reminder from Michael Stein, a voiceover promoting the show. Jeff expresses excitement about having Mickie on the podcast and asks about her current business endeavors. Mickie shares that for the past 26 years, she has been helping small businesses, entrepreneurs, and authors gain publicity through affordable press release distribution via eReleases, which sends releases nationally through PR Newswire at a fraction of the cost of traditional agencies. The conversation shifts to Mickie's childhood, where he describes growing up in Eastern North Carolina, engaging in outdoor adventures, and spending time with friends in a rural setting. They reminisce about childhood activities, including dirt bike riding and fishing. Mickie reflects on his time at East Carolina University, where he pursued English literature and anthropology, eventually obtaining an MFA in creative writing. He originally planned a bohemian life as a poet but transitioned to writing press releases at a telecom research startup, where he discovered the potential impact of storytelling in press releases. Mickie describes a pivotal moment in 1998 when a friend faced exorbitant costs for a press release, prompting him to create eReleases to support small businesses with affordable press release services.

The discussion covers his love for British science fiction, particularly Doctor Who, and how a public TV antenna introduced him to it. They also touch on his dual interests in poetry and writing, with Mickie revealing his current poetry projects and upcoming book. Jeff and Mickie discuss his two cats and their temperamental relationship, drawing parallels to the challenges of herding cats metaphorically in work scenarios.
