US completes 11th consecutive night of strikes on Iran, Concerns the Federal Government will not meet social and affordable housing target, Jessica Fox claims two gold in two days at canoe slalom world champs.
For review:1. US Central Command (CENTCOM) says it has completed its 11th consecutive evening of air strikes against Iran to further degrade the country's “ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz”.2. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Monday that his country was in a “full-scale war” with the United States and that Tehran should accept the repercussions of the conflict, even as mediators reportedly proposed a 10-day truce to deescalate the fighting.3. US President Donald Trump claimed Tuesday that the US will be striking Iran's Pickaxe Mountain “probably pretty soon,” amid reports that Tehran has moved nuclear centrifuges, and possibly even enriched uranium, to the secretive underground enrichment site.4. Houthi Rebels on Monday announced they are imposing a maritime embargo against Saudi Arabia in retaliation for a blockade on Yemen and a recent attack on the Sanaa Airport. 5. Israeli intelligence has reportedly assessed that Iran has moved thousands of nuclear centrifuges into a site in the Natanz area known as Pickaxe Mountain, burying them deep underground and making them harder to target in aerial strikes.6. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun met with US President Donald Trump in Washington on Tuesday, where he declared that his country will permanently end hostilities with Israel and asked for backing in his efforts to disarm Hezbollah. 7. Lebanese army troops began deploying in the southern Lebanese town of Zawtar al-Gharbiyeh Tuesday after Israeli forces withdrew from the area, the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) said in a statement, in line with a US-brokered plan for “pilot zones” in the south.8. Two Hamas terrorists, including a commander, who invaded Israel on October 7, 2023, and were responsible for the abduction of hostages, were killed in separate recent airstrikes, the Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet announced on Tuesday.9. Iran's foreign ministry spokesman warned Bulgaria on Tuesday against allowing the U.S. to use its territory for operations against Iran.The Bulgarian government has said it will seek parliamentary approval to station up to eight U.S. tanker aircraft at an air base in the Balkan country, which is a member of NATO and the European Union.
The U.S. military has carried out its 11th consecutive night of airstrikes against Iran, with U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth officially confirming that the ongoing war, which has lasted five months, has cost American taxpayers $37.5 billion to date.U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has focused on Iranian military operations centers, aircraft hangars, drone storage facilities, and logistics infrastructure.Recent strikes targeted Larak Island, areas near Qeshm Island, and activated air defenses around Tehran, the capital city. Additionally, an electrical installation close to the Bushehr nuclear power plant was struck.President Donald Trump has cautioned that the U.S. military may soon intensify its focus on Pickaxe Mountain, a fortified underground site believed to contain significant Iranian nuclear enrichment facilities.Secretary of State Marco Rubio has defended the ongoing military actions, asserting that they are essential to prevent Iran from establishing lasting hostility and control over the strategically important Strait of Hormuz shipping corridor.The official cost of $37.5 billion marks an increase of nearly $8 billion since May. Independent financial analysts suggest that the overall societal and economic repercussions—including fluctuating energy prices—could already surpass $100 billion.However, Defense Secretary Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine have testified before the Senate Appropriations Committee to obtain an urgent $67 billion supplemental funding increase to replenish ammunition stockpiles and support operations in the Middle East.Reports indicate that U.S. casualties have risen to 18 service members killed and over 450 wounded since major combat operations commenced on February 28, 2026. President Trump is scheduled to participate in a dignified transfer ceremony at Dover Air Force Base for personnel recently killed by drone and missile strikes in Jordan and Iraq. In reaction to actions taken by the United States, Iran has initiated drone and missile attacks aimed at U.S. assets and hosting facilities in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan. The military of Jordan has reported the interception of several Iranian missiles that were traversing its airspace.In the midst of the ongoing conflict and a simultaneous threat of a blockade in the Red Sea by Houthi rebels, global energy markets experienced a surge, with Brent crude reaching $92.09 per barrel and oil benchmarks trading at their highest levels in several weeks.Despite the intense nightly bombardments, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei, along with U.S. officials, has confirmed that indirect diplomatic communications through regional mediators are still in progress, aiming to establish a pathway toward a ceasefire.
Husain Haqqani and Bill Roggio. A tanker fire in the Straits of Hormuz and consecutive days of missile exchanges signal a "war restart." Ambassador Haqqani argues neither side can afford to look weak, leading to a stalemate of aerial bombing without a clear plan for regime change. Roggio and Haqqani agree air power alone cannot secure ground, and the estimated 600,000 troops required for a ground invasion is "science fiction." (1)1767 YEMEN

For review:1. US President Donald Trump says the latest military strikes on Iran are being carried out in honor of US servicemembers killed in recent days.The US military launched a new wave of strikes targeting Iran early on Monday, the ninth consecutive night of attacks."The strikes will continue degrading Iranian military capabilities used to attack commercial vessels and civilian mariners transiting the Strait of Hormuz," the US military's Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a post on X.As the US sent dozens of refueling jets back to Israel in anticipation of a possible further escalation, Israel's Kan public broadcaster reported, citing an unnamed American official, that the US was also sending dozens of warplanes to the Middle East, bolstering its F-16 and F-35 fleets there.2.

For 500 consecutive weeks, The Veterinary Viewfinder has shown up for the conversations veterinary medicine needs, from team dynamics and credentialed technician advocacy to urgent care, leadership, burnout, workplace culture, and the profession's toughest debates. In this milestone episode, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, reflect on nearly a decade of weekly podcasting without missing a single week. They look back at how the show began, why the veterinarian-and-technician perspective has shaped its voice, and what 500 straight weeks have taught them about consistency, respectful disagreement, psychological safety, and professional progress. This episode is both a celebration and a reminder. Veterinary medicine moves forward when people are willing to listen, challenge assumptions, and keep difficult conversations going. Whether you're a veterinarian, credentialed technician, practice manager, assistant, CSR, or industry leader, this milestone episode offers a thoughtful look at where the profession has been, what still feels stuck, and why showing up still matters. #VeterinaryViewfinder #VeterinaryPodcast #VetMed #VeterinaryTeams #VetTechLife

Frank Longobardi started a five-person CPA firm in Hartford, Connecticut on November 1st, 1984, with a first-year revenue goal of $300,000. For the next 23 consecutive years, the firm grew both top and bottom line, every single year. By the time he and his partner decided to merge up, they had built a $14.5 million firm with over 100 people and ten partners.In this conversation, Frank walks through every phase of that journey with the kind of candor that only comes from having lived it. He talks about the early days of working 3,000-plus hours a year, the moment he realized hating to lose a $400 tax return was holding his firm back, and why he told every partner the same thing: it is not your client, it is the firm's client. He also shares his perspective on the partnership model at scale, why private equity entered accounting, and what the profession's talent structure will look like as AI reshapes the work.The conversation covers:How a five-person startup grew for 23 consecutive years without a single down yearWhy hating to lose any client, even a $400 return, was the biggest early mistakeHow to transfer client relationships to the next generation of partners without losing the clientWhy he told every partner "it is not your account, it is the firm's account" and what shifted when they embraced thatHow the CohnReznick mega merger came together and what it took to lead a $430 million combined firmWhy the traditional pyramid staffing model is evolving into a diamond shape as AI changes the workHow private equity entered accounting and what PE firms are actually looking for in acquisitionsFrank's career is a rare example of someone who has seen the profession from every angle: sole proprietor, regional firm leader, mega merger architect, top 25 CEO, and now PE advisor. His perspective on what it takes to build something worth buying, merging, or leading is grounded in 40 years of doing exactly that.This episode is for firm owners curious about what the path from small firm to large firm leadership actually looks like, leaders wondering how to transfer client relationships without losing them, practitioners thinking about whether merging up makes sense for their next chapter, and anyone interested in how private equity is evaluating and reshaping accounting firms from the inside.TIMESTAMPS00:00 - Brannon Poe intro and podcast welcome 00:13 - Introducing Frank Longobardi, former CEO of CohnReznick 00:56 - Why Frank chose accounting: a blue-collar family, a high school course, and the University of Connecticut 01:55 - Frank's career path: regional firm, Big Eight, and starting his own firm in 1984 02:42 - The first business plan: $300K goal, five people, $40K salary each 03:02 - 23 consecutive years of top and bottom line growth at Longobardi and Company 03:27 - Merging into J.H.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 83: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (3:00) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump has given away his labyrinthine plot to stay in office past 2028 in one social media post and he’s just crazy enough to think it will work. It is in his rant claiming the indictment of a political opponent means "The 2020 Presidential Election Should Be Permanently Wiped From The Books And Be Of No Further Force or Effect…” He is not going to try a new Constitutional Amendment or say the limit is two CONSECUTIVE terms. He's not going another coup (at least not initially). He is going to try to nullify the 2020 Election - and hold that vote again. ANOTHER 2020 Election. In 2028. If you think that's too crazy easy for him - is it crazier than Trump insisting yesterday that we are in a war against UKRAINE? Crazier than indicting the former FBI Director on a threat to kill Trump with a seashell meme? Crazier than trying to get a comedian fired for a joke about Trump’s death and his wife when TRUMP then goes out and makes a joke about his death and his wife and all America is talking about is the dreaded D-word? Crazier than indicting a man for trying to shoot him at the Correspondents’ Dinner when it is now unmistakably clear that the suspect never fired a shot and was never on the same floor as Trump was? Crazier than Trump's insistence that we should pay for this damn ballroom because it'll protect presidents? What - are they sealing themselves in like Saddam Hussein in his Hidey Hole? And then I'll detail Trump’s bid to MATA: Make America 2020 Again. B-Block (36:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Two competing Bari Weiss entries because while nobody's watching her version of the CBS Evening News, everybody seems to have seen her prized reporter Olivia Reingold making a fool of herself on video from the Correspondents' Dinner. And speaking of that, Stephen A. Smith came out of that experience knowing who is to blame for all America's problems: those evil liberals! Whose presidential nomination he expects to win. ESPN has a choice: platform a political idiot and Conservative tool and destroy your franchise, or get rid of him and keep it. C-Block (55:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I often wonder WHY I ever became a political commentator. It wasn't planned and it wasn't supposed to be permanent. And the story of HOW I became a political commentator is even crazier.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
