New research has confirmed Ozempic reduces the risk of strokes and heart attacks by 20 percent - even in patients who weren't severely overweight to start with. The study, which was led by University College London and published in The Lancet, found that weight loss accounted for only one third of this reduction. Auckland University molecular medicine professor Peter Shepherd says this is proof other factors are behind the slowdown of heart disease. "We know a few of them, we know a bit about how it effects heart tissue growth, we know a bit about the positive effects it has on the deposition of the lipids, but there's still a long way to go to fully understand its effects."

In this episode of Building Better Developers, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche continue their insightful conversation with Adam Malone, exploring how trust and reliability drive stronger teams and foster more robust customer relationships. We pick up with Adam, who opens by emphasizing that reliability begins with consistency. Teams should revisit their guiding principles every couple of weeks—not just at the start of a project. These regular check-ins foster alignment, identify minor missteps early, and maintain clear priorities. “Even if it feels repetitive, that one time someone speaks up can save weeks of rework,” Adam explains. He adds, It's not about being flawless. It's about being consistent, accountable, and transparent—values that transform principles from words into action. Reinforcing Reliability Through Shared Principles Reliable teams share a standard compass. Adam recommends boiling down guiding principles to one or two clear slides so everyone can easily reference them during meetings. When conflict arises, those principles provide the framework for productive discussions. Rather than asking who's right, teams can ask: Does this decision align with our values? “That constant reinforcement builds reliability,” Adam says. “It keeps everyone anchored, no matter who's leading the conversation.” This shared structure enables teams to make consistent, principle-driven decisions—an essential component of long-term reliability. Extending Reliability to the Customer Experience Michael then turns the discussion outward: how does this translate to the customer experience? Adam explains that reliability for customers begins with a clear definition. Many organizations claim to deliver “great service,” but few define what that means in concrete, repeatable terms. Is it speed? Fairness? Empathy? When teams clearly define those expectations—how to handle complaints, returns, or exceptional cases—they make it a measurable concept. “We all own the customer experience,” Adam emphasizes. “It's not one department's job—it's everyone's responsibility.” By conducting after-action reviews and evaluating whether customer interactions align with agreed principles, businesses ensure that it becomes a company-wide culture rather than a customer-service function. The Three Elements of Reliability Adam breaks reliability into three key elements that inspire trust: empathy, authenticity, and performance. Empathy – Customers recognize reliability when they feel heard. Confirming concerns and restating issues shows genuine care. Authenticity – True reliability requires sincerity. People can spot a scripted response immediately; being real always resonates. Performance – Reliability is proven when promises are met. Even small, predictable actions—like sending updates exactly when promised—reinforce credibility. “Reliability is the visible form of trust,” Adam says. “It's how people know we'll do what we say.” These principles work equally well for internal teams, turning accountability into culture. Aligning Internal and External Reliability Adam also shares how teams can connect internal with external outcomes. In his “out-of-the-box” sessions, team members from every department—engineering, operations, and customer service—gather to experience a product exactly as a customer would. “Every process has a supplier and a receiver,” Adam explains. “Bringing them together helps everyone understand how reliability feels from start to finish.” This hands-on approach highlights where it breaks down and how teams can collaboratively improve it. It bridges gaps between departments and strengthens the company's overall dependability. Reliability Through Early, Honest Conversations Adam closes with one of the episode's most memorable points: reliability thrives on honesty. Avoiding tough conversations damages trust. “The argument's going to happen eventually,” he says. “Like bad fish, it doesn't get better with age.” By addressing conflicts early, teams preserve transparency, reduce frustration, and maintain consistent reliability across every relationship—internal or external. Final Thoughts In this powerful continuation of their discussion, Adam Malone reminds listeners that reliability is more than a process—it's a promise. From steady communication to authentic customer care, reliable organizations earn trust through consistent action. Reliability is what transforms teams into partners and customers into advocates. It's not built in a day—it's proven every day.

Title: Confirming with signs followingSpeaker: Brendan GloynDate: 13th September 2025Location: Adelaide, Australia This episode explores the power of speaking the gospel with courage and simplicity. Drawing from Ezekiel 36 and Acts 4, the message highlights how the Holy Spirit transforms lives and how sharing that truth should flow as naturally as breathing. When we step out in faith, God confirms His word with signs following, bringing hope and change wherever it is spoken. Personal stories illustrate how trusting God in everyday conversations—whether at work, in the community, or with family—opens doors for miracles and testimonies. The reminder is clear: like children, we are called to share without fear, knowing that in a world searching for answers, we carry the message of life and peace through Jesus Christ. 3 Key Takeaways: The gospel should flow naturally through us, like breathing, as the Spirit works within. Speaking in faith allows God to confirm His word with power and signs following. Simplicity and childlike boldness are essential in sharing the hope of the gospel.

Things Discussed: Biff Poggi love: We don't often get honesty about what they did wrong. Let Underwood cook? Not sure if it's going to hold up because people revert to learned behaviors when stress gets high. It's easy against Central. We saw enough that Oklahoma should be a blip: the RPOs are real, the zone reads are real. QB run game: Forces defenses to make themselves easier to read, because they have to play 11-on-11 unless they can two-gap at the DT spots. Oklahoma and Nebraska are good at messing with a quarterback's reads, and Bryce wants to make them quickly. Take away their options and you give Bryce a true read. Nebraska's defense is all about generating confusion. Bryce running early on pass reads: good thing, do it. When he's hitting a DB he's the one causing punishment. Also nerfs pass rush: remember how Michigan played Sean Clifford in 2021 and teed off when Allar came on. Haynes: been good but frustrating—sometimes he's great in pass pro but he had another handful of purse-swinging. Guy got sick of blocking for his QB at Alabama? I'm sure part of the reason he came here in the first place is he was sick of being a lead blocker for Jalen Milroe. Defensively: Barham at the Jake Ryan job was eye-opening. If you can't roll out against a defense they can front the edge on stretch and the running game is dead too. Replacing Nichols snaps with Barham at edge also gets Rolder/Sullivan on the field. Favorite Barham play: he grabs the RB as he's forcing a give on zone read so he can go back to tackling that guy. Caveat: that's the worst running back we're going to play this season. QB run game vs Michigan: isn't any one thing, but biggest issue was Rolder not fitting it. He had an up and down game where he (3/6 first downs, maybe 4 were on him), while Sullivan found the guy to hit, but had a few looks at it first. If you're a senior you can't be ahead of that guy and be making mistakes. Nebraska preview: They played Cincy (no pass game) and two teams CMU would trounce. Their run D is permeable: defense plays very small, wants to confuse you, make your RB slow down to find his gaps and blocks, and rally from the secondary. You can really gash them. It's a bad matchup for Nebraska: Michigan's OL is good at ID'ing their blocks and wants to play heavy and hit you quickly in the run game and confuse coverage reads. The 2023 game was a blowout because if you have linemen who can ID their blocks you destroy the basis of their system. Would be a good game to have El-Hadi back; Efobi is probably going to have a rough outing.

For centuries, humans have wrestled with the mysteries of the cosmos, from the invisible dark matter and dark energy that shape the universe, to hidden dimensions, parallel universes, and the ultimate fate of all cosmic structures. Such questions force us to consider not only the physics of the universe, but the possibility that non-human intelligence—whether biological or artificial—could exist far beyond Earth, or perhaps also closer to home. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at some of the greatest modern mysteries of the cosmos, as well as the question of whether there is life elsewhere in the universe. If so, could it have already created its own artificial intelligence, and might such alien AI have evolved to superintelligent levels, and could some phenomena we observe today, such as UAP, be linked to such entities?  Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting?

Members of the Cabinet have defended the refusal of travel visas for Palestinian children due to take part in a GAA tour of Ireland, which was to include a visit to Clare. 47 participants – including 33 children and 14 sports officials were to travel from the West Bank, before they were refused visas by the Immigration Service. The aim of the two-week tour was to foster friendship, solidarity and sporting connection through the GAA. Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe said any decisions on the visas had to be made in accordance with the law. Tánaiste and Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Harris defended the decision in the Dáil, saying there were “legitimate checks in relation to child protection” involved, even though the tour body from the West Bank says it has repeatedly sent documentation and been ignored. For more on this, Alan Morrissey was joined by Éamonn Meehan, Clare based chairperson of Sadaka, The Ireland Palestine Alliance. Dept of Justice Statement: Each visa application is decided on its own merits. Confirming that appropriate child protection requirements are in place is essential when considering visa applications for minors. This includes a requirement that a child is travelling with their parents or an appropriate guardian, which requires additional documents to be verified such as birth certificates and consent letters. In adult cases, evidence of financial means, employment or other ties that indicate a person intends to return home are important criteria. These help to establish that a person has a legitimate reason to come to Ireland, and that they will comply with the conditions of a short-term visa. An application will be refused if it cannot demonstrate compliance with such conditions. An appeals process is available to anyone who has a visa application refused.

Acts 14:19-28 KJV - 19 And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead. 20 Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. 21 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, 22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. 23 And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed. 24 And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia. 25 And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia: 26 And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled. 27 And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles. 28 And there they abode long time with the disciples.

CASE CLOSED Expert Testimony Confirms Karen Read's SUV Could Kill at 24 MPH Impact BREAKING: The Karen Read murder trial reached a pivotal moment when defense expert Dr. Daniel Wolfe's testimony BACKFIRED spectacularly, actually CONFIRMING that her Lexus SUV could absolutely deliver a fatal blow at 24 mph. Despite being hired by the defense team for $24,000, Wolfe's comprehensive ARCCA crash testing inadvertently validated the prosecution's vehicular homicide theory that Karen Read killed Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe by backing into him during the January 29, 2022 blizzard in Canton, Massachusetts. The scientific evidence is now undeniable: Read's taillight fragments containing O'Keefe's DNA, combined with vehicle data showing her SUV reversing at exactly 24.2 mph at 12:32 AM, creates an airtight case for premeditated murder. Wolfe's crash test dummy analysis proves that impact at this speed would absolutely shatter the taillight and cause fatal injuries consistent with O'Keefe's autopsy results. This episode breaks down the devastating forensic evidence that seals Karen Read's fate. We examine how the physics of vehicle-pedestrian impact at 24 mph creates the exact damage pattern found on Read's Lexus, analyze the DNA evidence that proves O'Keefe was struck by her SUV, and explore why even her own expensive expert witness couldn't dispute the prosecution's timeline. The federal Department of Justice's involvement in originally commissioning ARCCA adds credibility to findings that support the prosecution's case. Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer provides expert analysis on how this testimony eliminates reasonable doubt and why Karen Read's conviction for second-degree murder is now inevitable. Justice for John O'Keefe is finally within reach as the scientific evidence proves beyond any doubt that Karen Read used her vehicle as a weapon to kill the 16-year veteran Boston police officer who was raising his orphaned niece and nephew. #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #MurderTrial #ExpertTestimony #TrueKrime #Justice #VehicularHomicide #PoliceOfficer #Massachusetts #Guilty #ForensicEvidence #DNA #SUV #TailLight #Murder #Trial #Conviction Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

Notorious Nazi doctor, ‘Angel of Death' Josef Mengele, spent the last twenty years of his life on the run. His remains were recovered in São Paulo on 6th June, 1985, when Brazilian Police dug up the grave of a man named “Wolfgang Gerhard” - later proven to be Mengele, who'd drowned at a beach resort at the age of 68. Mengele, responsible for sending up to 400,000 Jews to their deaths at Auschwitz, was able to escape to Argentina via Italy after the War, even living freely under his real name for a period, before Mossad and ‘Nazi Hunter' Simon Wiesenthal began hunting him down more assiduously. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal how frustratingly close Israel's secret services came to capturing him in his lifetime; explain how he was able to live under cover in South America for decades; and consider the irony of what finally happened to his skeleton… Content Warning: depictions of Auschwitz, Holocaust torture techniques Further Reading: • ‘Son Says Mengele's Dead, Tells Why He Kept Silent : Learned of Death in 1979' (Los Angeles Times, 1985): https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1985-06-11-mn-10339-story.html • ‘How did the infamous Josef Mengele escape punishment?'

In the midst of the terrible Trump tax bill moving through Congress, Ralph invites Sarah Anderson who directs the Global Economy Project at the Institute for Policy Studies to discuss the massive tax loopholes huge companies like Amazon get that allow them to pay far less in taxes than ordinary working people. Then, Greg LeRoy from Good Jobs First joins us to discuss how state taxpayers are footing the bill for these massive data centers companies like Google are building all over the country. Plus, Ralph has some choice words for passive unions and responds to listener feedback about our guest last week, Nadav Wieman.Sarah Anderson directs the Global Economy Project at the Institute for Policy Studies and is a co-editor of the IPS website Inequality.org. Her research covers a wide range of international and domestic economic issues, including inequality, CEO pay, taxes, labor, and Wall Street reform.They're (Congress is) planning to give huge new tax giveaways to large corporations like Amazon and wealthy people like Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. And partially paying for those tax cuts for the wealthy by slashing programs that mean so much to so many Americans like Medicaid and food assistance.”Sarah AndersonWe're not going to have a healthy, thriving society and economy as long as we have the extreme levels of inequality that we have today.Sarah AndersonDubbed “the leading national watchdog of state and local economic development subsidies,” “an encyclopedia of information regarding subsidies,” “God's witness to corporate welfare,” and “the OG of ensuring that state and local tax policy actually supports good jobs, sustainability, and equity,”* Greg founded Good Jobs First in 1998 upon winning the Public Interest Pioneer Award. He has trained and consulted for state and local governments, associations of public officials, labor-management committees, unions, community groups, tax and budget watchdogs, environmentalists, and smart growth advocates more than 30 years.Public education and public health are the two biggest losers in every state giving away money to data centers right now.Greg Le RoyWe know of no other form of state spending that is so out of control. Therefore, we recommend that states cancel their data center tax exemptions. Such subsidies are absolutely unnecessary for an extremely profitable industry dominated by some of the most valuable corporations on earth such as Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, and Google.Good Jobs First report: “Cloudy With a Loss of Spending Control”They've (Congress has) known for years that the ordinary worker pays a higher tax rate than these loophole-ridden corporations.Ralph NaderIn my message to Trump, I ask him, "Why is he afraid of Netanyahu? And doesn't he want to come to the rescue of these innocent babies by saying, ‘Mr. Netanyahu, the taxpayers in this country are paying for thousands of trucks stalled at the border of Gaza full of medicine, food, water, electricity, fuel, and other critical necessities? We're going to put a little American flag on each one of these trucks, and don't you dare block them.'”…No answer.Ralph NaderNews 5/23/251. It seems as though the dam in Israeli politics against acknowledging the horrors in Gaza is beginning to break. In an interview with the BBC this week, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert stated that what Israel "is currently doing in Gaza is very close to a war crime. Thousands of innocent Palestinians are being killed.” He went on to say, “the war has no objective and has no chance of achieving anything that could save the lives of the hostages.” These quotes come from the Jerusalem Post. And on May 21st, Haaretz reported that opposition party leader Yair Golan warned that Israel could become a “pariah state, like South Africa once was,” based on its actions in Gaza. Speaking a truth that American politicians appear incapable of articulating, he added, a “sane state does not wage war against civilians, does not kill babies as a hobby, and does not set goals for itself like the expulsion of a population.”2. Confirming this prognosis, the Cradle reports “The Israeli military has admitted that more than 80 percent of the people killed in the attacks on Gaza since Israel breached the ceasefire two months ago are…civilians.” This fact was confirmed by the IDF in response to a request from Hebrew magazine Hamakom, wherein “the military's spokesperson stated that 500 of the 2,780 killed in the Gaza Strip as of Tuesday are ‘terrorists.'” Leaving the remaining 2,280 people killed classified as “not suspected terrorists.” The Cradle compares this ratio, approximately 4.5 civilians killed for every combatant, to the Russia-Ukraine war – a ratio of approximate 2.8 to one. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has “claimed that the ratio is just one civilian killed for each combatant killed.” At the same time, AP reports that while Israel has allowed a minimum of humanitarian aid to enter Gaza, under immense international pressure, “none of that aid actually reached Palestinians,” according to the United Nations spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric. The renewed offensive coupled with the barring of humanitarian aid has raised the alarm about mass starvation in Gaza.3. Developments on the ground in Gaza have triggered a new wave of international outcry. On May 19th, leaders of the United Kingdom, France and Canada issued a joint statement, reading in part, “We strongly oppose the expansion of Israel's military operations in Gaza. The level of human suffering in Gaza is intolerable… The Israeli Government's denial of essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable and risks breaching International Humanitarian Law…We will not stand by while the Netanyahu Government pursues these egregious actions. If Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete actions in response.” The Parliament of Spain meanwhile, “passed a non-binding motion calling on the government to impose an arms embargo on Israel,” per Anadolu Ajansı. This potential ban, supported by all parties except the conservative People's Party and the far-right Vox, would “ban the exports of any material that could strengthen the Israeli military, including helmets, vests, and fuel with potential military use.” Left-wing parties in Spain are now pushing for an emergency session to impose a binding decree to this effect.4. The United States however seems to be moving backwards. Drop Site news reports Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff made a deal with Hamas ensuring that, “the Trump administration would compel Israel to lift the Gaza blockade and allow humanitarian aid to enter the territory…[and] make a public call for an immediate ceasefire,” in exchange for the release of Edan Alexander. Of course, once Alexander was released Trump reneged completely. Basem Naim, a member of Hamas's political bureau, told Drop Site, “He did nothing of this…They didn't violate the deal. They threw it in the trash.” Besides prolonging further the charnel house in Gaza, this duplicity undermines American credibility in the region, particularly with Iran at a time when Trump is seeking a new deal to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.5. Democrats in Congress are inching towards action as well. On May 13th, Senator Peter Welch introduced Senate Resolution 224, calling for “the urgent delivery of humanitarian aid to address the needs of civilians in Gaza.” Along with Welch, 45 Democrats and Independents signed on to this resolution, that is the entire Democratic caucus except for John Fetterman. On May 14th, Rashida Tlaib introduced House Resolution 409, commemorating the Nakba and calling on Congress to “reinstate support for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which provides life-saving humanitarian assistance to Palestinians.” This was cosponsored by AOC and Reps. Carson, Lee, Omar, Pressley, Ramirez, Simon, and Coleman. And, on May 21st, a group of eight senators – Welch, Sanders, Kaine, Merkley, Murray, Van Hollen, Schatz, and Warnock – sent a letter urging Secretary of State Rubio to reopen the investigation into the death of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu-Akleh, per Prem Thakker. The Biden administration ruled the death “unintentional,” but a new documentary by Zeteo News reveals a “Biden cover-up.”6. More action is occurring on college campuses as well, as students go into graduation season. At NYU, a student named Logan Rozos said in his graduation speech, “As I search my heart today in addressing you all…the only thing that is appropriate to say in this time and to a group this large is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine,” per CNN. NYU announced that they are now withholding his diploma. At George Washington University, the Guardian reports student Cecilia Culver said in her graduation speech, “I am ashamed to know my tuition [fee] is being used to fund…genocide…I call upon the class of 2025 to withhold donations and continue advocating for disclosure and divestment.” GWU issued a statement declaring Culver “has been barred from all GW's campuses and sponsored events elsewhere.” The moral clarity of these students is remarkable, given the increasingly harsh measures these schools have taken to silence those who speak up.7. Moving on, several major stories about the failing DOGE initiative have surfaced in recent days. First, Social Security. Listeners may recall that a DOGE engineer said “40% of phone calls made to [the Social Security Administration] to change direct deposit information come from fraudsters.” Yet, a new report by NextGov.com found that since DOGE mandated the SSA install new anti-fraud checks on claims made over the phone, “only two claims out of over 110,000 were found to likely be fraudulent,” or 0.0018%. What the policy has done however, is slow down payments. According to this piece, retirement claim processing is down 25%. Meanwhile, at the VA, DOGE engineer Sahil Lavingia, “found…a machine that largely functions, though it doesn't make decisions as fast as a startup might.” Lavingia added “honestly, it's kind of fine—because the government works. It's not as inefficient as I was expecting, to be honest. I was hoping for more easy wins.” This from Fast Company. Finally, CBS reports, “leaders of the United States Institute for Peace regained control of their offices Wednesday…after they were ejected from their positions by the Trump administration and [DOGE] in March.” This piece explains that On February 19th, President Trump issued Executive Order 14217 declaring USIP "unnecessary" and terminating its leadership, most of its 300 staff members, its entire board, installing a DOGE functionary at the top and transferring ownership of the building to the federal government. This set off a court battle that ended Monday, when U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell ruled that the takeover was “unlawful” and therefore “null and void.” These DOGE setbacks might help explain Elon Musk's reported retreat from the political spotlight and political spending.8. On May 21st, Congressman Gerry Connolly passed away, following his battle with esophageal cancer. Connolly's death however is just the latest in a disturbing trend – Ken Klippenstein reports, “Connolly joins five other members of Congress who also died in office over the past 13 months…Rep. Raúl Grijalva…Rep. Sylvester Turner…Rep. Bill Pascrell…Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee…[and] Rep. Donald Payne Jr.” All of these representatives were Democrats and their deaths have chipped away at the close margin between Democrats and Republicans in the House – allowing the Republicans to pass Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill” by a single vote. Connolly himself prevailed over AOC in a much-publicized intra-party battle for the Ranking Member seat on the House Oversight committee. It speaks volumes that Connolly was only able to hold onto that seat for a few short months before becoming too sick to stay on. This is of course part and parcel with the recent revelations about Biden's declining mental acuity during his presidency and the efforts to oust David Hogg from the DNC for backing primaries against what he calls “asleep-at-the-wheel” Democrats.9. Speaking of “asleep-at-the-wheel” Democrats, Bloomberg Government reports Senator John Fetterman “didn't attend a single committee hearing in 2025 until…May 8, about a week after an explosive New York Magazine story raised questions about his mental health and dedication to his job.” Fetterman, who represents Pennsylvania on the Commerce, Agriculture, and Homeland Security committees skipped the confirmation hearings for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Budget Director Russ Vought, some of the most high-profile and controversial Trump appointments. Fetterman still has yet to attend a single Agriculture committee hearing in 2025.10. Finally, in more Pennsylvania news, the state held its Democratic primaries this week, yielding mixed results. In Pittsburgh, progressives suffered a setback with the ouster of Mayor Ed Gainey – the first Black mayor of the city. Gainey lost to Allegheny County Controller Corey O'Connor, the son of former Mayor Bob O'Connor, the Hill reports. In Philadelphia however, voters approved three ballot measures – including expanding affordable housing and adding more oversight to the prison system – and reelected for a third term progressive reform District Attorney Larry Krasner, per AP. Krasner has long been a target of conservatives in both parties, but has adroitly maneuvered to maintain his position – and dramatically reduced homicide rates in Philly. The Wall Street Journal reports Philadelphia homicides declined by 34% between 2023 and 2024, part of substantial decline in urban homicides nationwide. Kudos to Krasner.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe
