Podcasts about consequences

Fr. Mike examines the consequences of the sin of our first parents, Adam and Eve. He discusses that even though they committed a personal sin, it affected all of human nature. As Fr. Mike states, “Original sin broke the world.” Additionally, we explore the idea that although we are good, we are still broken. Fr. Mike also discusses how each and every one of us has an inclination towards evil and sin known as concupiscence. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 402-406.

Today's Headlines: Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton are set to testify before the House Oversight Committee today — with lawmakers traveling to their home in Chappaqua for the interviews. Meanwhile, after reporting revealed the DOJ appears to have withheld Epstein documents referencing past allegations involving Donald Trump, the Justice Department now says it's “looking into” whether anything was improperly held back.  Adding to the Epstein pile, The Telegraph reports a previously overlooked Jeffrey Epstein storage unit packed with computers, VHS tapes, address books, and alleged “training manuals.” Authorities reportedly missed it during earlier searches. Consequences, however, remain selective. A former Harvard president resigned his remaining university roles and an OpenAI board seat amid Epstein scrutiny. Bill Gates, at a Gates Foundation town hall, acknowledged past affairs that Epstein later became aware of but said he “did nothing illicit” and saw nothing illicit. At the FBI, Director Kash Patel reportedly fired at least 10 agents tied to the Jack Smith classified documents investigation after learning subpoenas had included his own communications and those of White House chief of staff Susie Wiles. In other news, Trump's surgeon general nominee, wellness influencer Casey Means, declined at her confirmation hearing to firmly reject a link between vaccines and autism and would not explicitly urge Americans to get vaccinated. “Science is never settled,” she said. That's one way to approach public health. On the corporate-national-security beat, the Pentagon is weighing whether to designate AI company Anthropic as a potential “supply chain risk” after friction with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The label could jeopardize federal contracts — a category tech companies tend to enjoy keeping. Media merger drama continues as Paramount's David Ellison sweetened his bid for Warner Bros. Discovery, potentially complicating Netflix's existing deal. And in quieter political news, Democrats flipped or held three state House special elections — one in Maine and two in Pennsylvania — expanding their Pennsylvania majority to 102–98, with one race outperforming 2024 margins by 34 points. There are three more Republican-held seats up next.

Is the Electoral College under threat? The growing push for the National Popular Vote could fundamentally reshape American federalism and state power. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nicholas Giordano sits down with Trent England to break down the historical purpose of the Electoral College, the Founding Fathers' constitutional design, and the serious implications of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. This conversation explores why federalism matters, how democracy can conflict with individual rights, and what happens when civic education fails to explain the structure of the Constitution. What You'll Learn: Why the Electoral College was a deliberate constitutional compromise, not an accident How the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact could weaken state sovereignty The difference between pure democracy and constitutional republicanism Why federalism protects minority rights and prevents centralized power How civic education shapes the future of constitutional self-government The debate over the Electoral College is not just political. It is a question about the survival of federalism, the limits of democracy, and whether Americans still understand the Constitution that governs them.

“If it worked, it would have worked by now.” Many parents quietly think, We've tried everything. Charts. Rewards. Consequences. Punishments. And when none of it works, the blame often falls on you. In this episode, we explore why traditional parenting tools often fail neurodivergent or sensitive nervous systems — and why that failure is not a parenting problem. You'll learn: The assumptions behind charts and punishments — and why they break down under stress Why behavior is driven by the nervous system, not willful defiance How rewards and consequences can create shame instead of skills Why compliance is not the same as regulation We'll reframe what kids actually need: Felt safety before expectations. Co-regulation before independence. Skills taught outside of dysregulation. Key truth: You didn't fail. These tools were never designed for your child's brain. ✨ Regulation first. Skills second. Behavior follows. Invitation: If you're exhausted and questioning yourself, you're not alone. Inside Thriving Together, we teach nervous-system-smart parenting and support parents instead of judging them. There is another way — and it works with the brain, not against it.   Schedule a Strong Start Discovery Call to address your neurodivergent child's physiologic needs.   Don't forget to nourish your self with good, clean electrolytes!

TL;DR We describe the persona selection model (PSM): the idea that LLMs learn to simulate diverse characters during pre-training, and post-training elicits and refines a particular such Assistant persona. Interactions with an AI assistant are then well-understood as being interactions with the Assistant—something roughly like a character in an LLM-generated story. We survey empirical behavioral, generalization, and interpretability-based evidence for PSM. PSM has consequences for AI development, such as recommending anthropomorphic reasoning about AI psychology and introduction of positive AI archetypes into training data. An important open question is how exhaustive PSM is, especially whether there might be sources of agency external to the Assistant persona, and how this might change in the future. Introduction What sort of thing is a modern AI assistant? One perspective holds that they are shallow, rigid systems that narrowly pattern-match user inputs to training data. Another perspective regards AI systems as alien creatures with learned goals, behaviors, and patterns of thought that are fundamentally inscrutable to us. A third option is to anthropomorphize AIs and regard them as something like a digital human. Developing good mental models for AI systems is important for predicting and controlling their behaviors.

In early February, the EPA repealed the 2009 Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding, a landmark regulatory move reversing the determination that greenhouse gases threaten public health. Pat Parenteau, emeritus professor at Vermont Law and Graduate School and former EPA regional counsel under President Ronald Reagan, explains what happens next, including the many challenges the Trump administration is facing from environmental groups, and how the repeal could impact both health and climate change.Photo: [Smog obscures view of Chrysler Building from Empire State Building, New York City] / World-Telegram photo by Walter Albertin.

Contributor: Travis Barlock, MD Educational Pearls:  Foul-smelling urine and cloudy urine are commonly misinterpreted as indicators of a UTI. However, these findings alone are not diagnostic. Criteria for UTI: Presence of localized urinary symptoms: Suprapubic pain Dysuria Hesitancy Urgency Urinalysis with WBC > 10 Urine culture with > 100,000 CFU/mL Colonization differs from infection - many patients harbor asymptomatic bacteria but do not have a true infection. Consequences of overtreatment One review showed 45% of patients treated with antibiotics for a presumed UTI actually had asymptomatic bacteriuria and were incorrectly treated. Unnecessary antibiotic treatment can have deleterious effects on the gut microbiome, increasing the risk of multidrug-resistant infections. Another problem with overdiagnosing UTI is missing the real diagnosis by explaining symptoms away as "just a UTI." Be mindful of the risk of overtesting versus not testing at all. Clinicians must navigate a balance between moving patients efficiently through the ER and testing appropriately when a UTI is truly suspected. References: Baghdadi JD, Korenstein D, Pineles L, et al.

Episode 147: Workers' Comp Doctor Rules in California, Your Rights Inside the MPN System  If you were injured at work in California, your employer may send you to a specific doctor, but does that mean you have no choice?  In this episode of Work Comp Talk, host Carmen Ramirez and attorney Bilal Kassam explain one of the most misunderstood parts of California workers' compensation: your right to choose and change your treating doctor.  Many injured workers don't realize that the doctor managing their care can directly affect disability benefits, work restrictions, medical reports, and even settlement value.    What Most Workers Don't Realize  You don't always have to stay with the first doctor your employer sends you to. Your medical choices can change as your case progresses.  The treating doctor controls more than treatment. They influence benefits, work status, and settlement value.  The MPN limits options, but you still have rights inside the system.  Denied treatment does not always mean denied benefits.  Missing medical appointments weakens your case documentation.  Early decisions in a workers' comp case have long-term consequences.    Chapters:  00:00 Understanding Your Rights in Workers' Comp  03:07 Navigating the Medical Provider Network  05:58 The Role of Your Treating Physician  09:04 The Importance of Medical Records  11:44 Changing Your Doctor: When and How  14:57 The Consequences of Missing Appointments  18:00 Advocating for Your Medical Needs  21:14 Final Thoughts on Workers' Comp Rights    When workers don't understand this early, decisions made in the first 30–60 days can affect their financial stability for years. Education gives injured workers control and control is protection.    This episode is sponsored by Pacific Workers, The Lawyers for Injured Workers, the trusted workers' compensation law firm in Northern California.

A number of East Central Independent School District (ISD) students have been disciplined, after leaving classrooms Feb. 13 to participate in demonstrations against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). State law requires school districts to address unexcused absences related to walkouts and prohibits school systems from facilitating disruptions during the instructional day. District officials confirmed that approximately 30 students “who left class without authorization” Feb. 13 were disciplined in accordance with the district's Student Code of Conduct, Texas Education Code, and recent guidance issued by the Texas Education Agency. “No students were expelled,” advised Brandon Oliver, East Central ISD director of...Article Link

Historian Faisal Husain wrote the book "Rivers of the Sultan: The Tigris and Euphrates in the Ottoman Empire" and in this episode, helps us explore the history of the Tigris and Euphrates. He argued for the necessity of understanding human history within the context of geological time, discussing the rivers' origins roughly 20 million years ago, tracing their influence on civilization from the "agricultural revolution" (which some scholars argue was a mistake leading to health issues) to the rise of early urban centers like the Sumerian cities. The conversation highlights the difference between the gentle Euphrates, which attracted early settlements, and the fast and unpredictable Tigris. Shifting to the Ottoman era, Husain examines the environmental challenges of Ottoman Iraq, which was poor in essential resources like grain, metal, and wood suited for construction, and details the extraordinary story of the Euphrates river changing its course in the late 1600s due to a poorly dug irrigation canal. He emphasizes the cultural importance of the palm tree and the vital role of water buffaloes, which made life possible for a quarter of the Iraqi population in the wetlands, whose fate would have otherwise been migration to seek resources and refuge elsewhere. 0:00 Introduction1:47 When Did the Tigris and Euphrates Start?3:04 The Importance of Deep History5:49 Geological Origins: 20 Million Years Ago7:37 When the Rivers Began to Matter to Homo Sapiens10:40 The Rationale for Writing Deep History12:00 Starting Middle East History Before 6th Century Arabia14:45 The Difference Between the Twin Rivers17:05 Why Sumerian Civilization Clustered on the Euphrates20:36 Questioning the Agricultural Revolution23:16 How Agriculture Began: Trial and Error27:00 The Consequences of Taming Nature30:40 The Ottoman Conquest of Iraq32:20 Why Iraq Was Environmentally Poor for a Major Power36:06 Iraq's Default Status Under Iranian States38:25 Baghdad in the 16th Century42:25 The Euphrates Shifts Course (Late 1600s)47:09 Water Buffaloes: The Essential Technology of the Wetlands49:28 Ranking the Most Important Crops51:03 Evliya Çelebi: The Traveler54:49 Ottoman vs. European Traveler Perspectives58:35 The Book Cover: Baghdad on the Tigris Faisal Husain is an environmental historian of the Ottoman Empire, with a geographical focus on its eastern provinces in Anatolia and Iraq and a temporal focus on the early modern period. His first book "Rivers of the Sultan" examined the role of the Tigris and Euphrates in the establishment of Ottoman state institutions in the Ottoman eastern borderland between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. His second book project is an environmental history of Ottoman frontier expansion east of the Euphrates during the sixteenth century. He is co-editing a book on the global histories of animals (under contract with Oxford University Press) with Emily Wakild (Boise State University) and Nancy Jacobs (Brown University). In 2024-2025, he served as a senior lecturer at Boğaziçi University's Department of History in Istanbul through the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program. He serves on several editorial boards, including those of Marmara Türkiyat Araştırmaları Dergisi (Marmara University), Global Environment (White Horse Press), and the “Middle East Environmental Histories” book series (Leiden University Press).

About This EpisodeIn this guest episode I sit down with Professor Marc J. Defant, Professor of Geology and Geochemistry whose work spans the physical sciences and evolutionary psychology.Recently he published a peer-reviewed paper in Sexuality & Culture titled “Evolutionary Psychology and the Crisis of Empirical Rigor in Feminist Studies” - https://rdcu.be/eOkjZThe paper argues that much of modern feminist scholarship is ideology and not grounded in any truth. Professor Defant and I discuss how social constructivism has created confusion about relationships, work, masculinity, and femininity. We explore human evolution, parental investment theory, cross-cultural studies of mate selection preferences, and much more.Listen in to learn how feminism might have broken an old template but has gone too far in denying human nature, why suppressing sex differences actually clarifies them more, the real roots of the pay gap, and what's really going on between men and women today.Get in touch with Professor Marc J.

Check out host Bidemi Ologunde's new show: The Work Ethic Podcast, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.Email: bidemiologunde@gmail.comIn this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde breaks down an intelligence-style, open-source psychological profile of Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi: her decision-making "action bias," ideological anchors, and the political risks of governing as a highly personalized brand. What does her "Iron Lady" reputation mean for crisis choices in a Taiwan-linked scenario? How might her push for faster defense build-up—and talk of constitutional change—reshape the U.S.–Japan alliance, the Quad, and trilateral security ties with South Korea and the Philippines? And as Tokyo–Beijing friction rises, can Japan strengthen deterrence without narrowing the region's room for error?On the Bid Picture Podcast, I talk about big ideas, and Lembrih is one of them. Born from Ghanaian roots, Lembrih is building an ethical marketplace for Black and African artisans: makers of heritage-rich products often overlooked online.

Romans 5:12-19. C.H. Jahnke. First Sunday in Lent - A http://www.standrewlcms.org / Donate

This message confronts us with a powerful truth: authentic love requires the courage to speak reality, not just affirm preferences. Drawing from Psalm 2, we're challenged to examine whether we've embraced cultural decline by redefining truth as personal preference rather than divine reality. The psalm reveals nations raging against God's anointed, believing freedom means bursting free from divine boundaries. Yet God responds not with panic but with laughter from His heavenly throne, having already established His King. The invitation is stunning: kiss the Son, take refuge in Him, and discover true flourishing. This isn't about religious transaction but personal relationship with Jesus, the begotten Son whose resurrection power is historical fact, not myth. We're reminded that when words detach from meaning, our lives detach from purpose. The blessed life we all seek isn't found in self-defined reality but in surrendering to God's vision, even when His shaping feels like shaking. The message calls us beyond treating Jesus as a consultant for our dreams to making Jesus Himself our dream, recognizing that our lives were designed to resemble Him.Connect with First Baptist Starkville: https://bit.ly/3M4mHnkSubscribe to see our latest sermons: https://bit.ly/3DxRyjHSupport this ministry and our work in Starkville, MS: https://bit.ly/44muvW0

The discussion moves through media manipulation, worldview shifts, spiritual warfare, and why so many people today feel pulled toward alternative research and deeper meaning beyond surface-level explanations.This episode blends humor, testimony, and serious discussion as the hosts examine how faith, conspiracy research, and cultural skepticism intersect — and why the pursuit of truth often becomes a personal quest.If you're interested in biblical perspectives, independent media, hidden history conversations, and the growing movement of truth-seekers online, this episode delivers a candid and thought-provoking discussion.

Today's Headlines: In a genuinely shocking development, Prince Andrew was arrested in the UK on suspicion of misconduct in public office — a very restrained way of saying he allegedly shared sensitive government information with Jeffrey Epstein. It happened on his birthday, and King Charles said the law will take its course. It's the first arrest of a senior royal since 1647, which is… not recent. Meanwhile in DC, Andrew and Epstein's former bestie Donald Trump convened his self-styled “Board of Peace,” which he continues pitching as a potential replacement for the UN. The focus was Gaza: five countries pledged troops for a stabilization force, nine pledged a combined $7 billion — about 10% of the $70 billion estimated for rebuilding. Trump added a promised $10 billion from the US, source of funds TBD. Hamas has not fully agreed to disarm, but sure. On Iran, Trump warned that Tehran has 10 days to strike a nuclear deal or “bad things will happen,” then extended it to 15 by nightfall.  In South Korea, former president Yoon Suk Yeol was sentenced to life in prison for his 2024 insurrection attempt and brief martial law stunt. The court said it damaged the military's neutrality and the country's credibility. Consequences.  Back home, DHS has launched a nationwide review of naturalized citizens who may have voted before becoming citizens, requiring field offices to justify decisions not to prosecute. The administration is also reportedly exploring ways to criminalize observing ICE agents, despite most related arrests resulting in no charges. And finally, the EEOC is suing a Coca-Cola distributor over a women-only networking event, alleging discrimination. The company says it followed the law.  Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: AP News: Former Prince Andrew arrested and held for hours on suspicion of misconduct over ties to Epstein AP News: Trump heads to Georgia after securing Board of Peace pledges for Gaza relief funds CNN: Live updates: Trump indicates Iran decision within days and says Board of Peace will be ‘looking over' UN The Guardian: South Korea's former president Yoon Suk Yeol jailed for life for leading insurrection MS Now: White House directing DHS to hunt for voter fraud by naturalized citizens: Sources NPR: The Trump administration is increasingly trying to criminalize observing ICE Axios: Federal agency sues Coca-Cola bottler over work event that excluded men Subscribe to the Betches News Room and join the Morning Announcements group chat.

What happens when health coverage becomes unaffordable, and who's stepping up to lead in moments like this?  This episode connects two powerful public health stories.First, we break down the ACA enhanced premium tax credits: what they were, who they helped, and what's at stake now that they've expired.  Catherine Jones, Senior Analyst Government Affairs at ASTHO will explain how these pandemic-era subsidies dramatically expanded access to marketplace coverage, helping middle-income families, older adults not yet eligible for Medicare, rural residents, gig workers, and others without employer-based insurance. With premiums now rising sharply, millions may lose coverage, leading to delayed care, skipped medications, more emergency room use, rising uncompensated care costs, and even potential hospital closures, especially in rural communities. We explore how insurance coverage isn't just a healthcare issue, but a population health issue tied to chronic disease management, maternal health, mental health services, vaccinations, and overall mortality. Then, we shift to leadership. James Bell III, Chief of Staff/Director of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and a Doctor of Social Work, reflects on his experience in the DELPH Leadership Program and how it reshaped how he shows up as a public health leader. From finding his voice in high-stakes rooms to practicing servant leadership, advocating for equity, and building authentic national networks, Bell describes how leadership development strengthens not just individuals, but the systems and communities they serve.ACA Enhanced Premium Tax Credits: Legislative Developments in 2025 and 2026 | ASTHODeveloping Executive Leaders in Public Health | ASTHOReducing Hypertension Through Self-Measured Blood Pressure Monitoring Programs | ASTHOAddressing Hypertension During Pregnancy Improves Maternal and Infant Health | ASTHO

In this episode, Kelsi Sheren discusses the troubling implications of euthanasia practices in Canada, particularly focusing on the moral and ethical dilemmas surrounding the Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program. She critiques the shift in societal values that devalues life and the manipulation of language used to frame euthanasia as compassionate care. Sheren warns of the slippery slope of expanding euthanasia policies and the potential consequences of a society that no longer views life as sacred.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Conversation on Euthanasia02:27 The Moral Implications of Euthanasia06:17 The Role of Language in Shaping Perceptions10:08 The Slippery Slope of Euthanasia Policies12:37 The Consequences of Devaluing Life - - - - - - - - - - - -One Time Donation! - Paypal - https://paypal.me/brassandunityBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@thekelsisherenperspectiveInstagram -  https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsiBurnsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelsie_sheren/Substack:  https://substack.com/@kelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - https://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY  - http://brassandunity.com

Kerry and Collin take a look at the remake of The Bishop's Wife (1949, episode #109), the Penny Marshall-directed The Preacher's Wife, starring Denzel Washington, Whitney Huston, Courtney B. Vance and Gregory Hines. While the film sticks with the original's principal characters, it adds a lot of plot to the storyline that does not always benefit the overall outcome. Was there as great a need for movies about spiritual awakenings and celestial encounters in he 1990s as there was in the post-WWII era?  Can Denzel Washington really do anything? What was Penny Marshall's last film project before she passed away in 2018? Can we get a replica anywhere of the Dudley tree-topper at the end of the film? All these questions get answered, plus three more films from 1,001 Movies You Must See Before You Die. Visit collinsouter.com RogerEbert.com Follow Collin and Kerry on Letterboxd.

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll finds that a large majority of Americans believe the recently released files connected to Jeffrey Epstein reveal a broader pattern in which wealthy and powerful figures in the United States are rarely held accountable for their actions. About 69% of respondents said the statement that the Epstein files “show that powerful people in the U.S. are rarely held accountable” reflected their views very or extremely well, and another 17% agreed somewhat. This sentiment cut across party lines, with more than 80% of both Republicans and Democrats saying the statement described their thinking at least somewhat well. The poll, conducted online with 1,117 U.S. adults and a 3-point margin of error, came shortly after the U.S. Justice Department released millions of pages of records showing Epstein's ties to prominent figures in politics, business, finance and academia.While some corporate leaders have resigned in the wake of the disclosures, others who had contact with Epstein remain in powerful posts, and individuals such as the Trump administration's Commerce Secretary and health official Dr. Mehmet Oz are noted in the documents without being accused of crimes. The issue remains politically charged: a significant portion of Republicans (67%) said it's time for the country to move on from talking about the Epstein files, compared with only 21% of Democrats. The poll reflects widespread skepticism about elite accountability and highlights partisan differences over how long the controversy should continue to figure in public debate.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Americans believe Epstein files show the powerful get a pass, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds | Reuters

Most people think of dimensions as directions. Left and right. Forward and back. Up and down.But what if that comfortable assumption is completely wrong?The physical laws that bind you aren't universal. They're local. Conditional. Entirely dependent on the fact that you're trapped in the third dimension.And once you understand what lies beyond it, nothing about reality will feel the same.Studies in theoretical physics suggest there could be anywhere from 10 to 26 dimensions governing our universe. Yet we can only perceive three of them. What are we missing?What if the rules of gravity, time, and matter only apply to us because of where we're stuck not because they're fundamental truths?

Somewhere at the edge of a marsh, the night waits like it knows your secrets. Heavy air presses against your chest, and the quiet feels alive. Sometimes, the things that come for you are already within before you even notice.  In honor of Black History Month, these stories come from African American folklore and early Black literature, where horror isn't always about monsters, but about what history leaves behind.

Today's Headlines: The fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein files escalated after the Department of Justice released a letter signed by Deputy AG Todd Blanche outlining redactions and listing “politically exposed” names — mostly celebrities and public figures already publicly referenced. Attorney General Pam Bondi said no additional files will be released, despite reports that millions of pages remain sealed. Consequences are, at least, unfolding abroad. Thomas Pritzker stepped down from Hyatt Hotels Corporation. Buckingham Palace backed a police investigation into Prince Andrew, while French authorities assembled a team to examine related allegations. Investigations also involve former Norwegian PM Thorbjørn Jagland and port executive Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem. European leaders are weighing alternatives to Visa and Mastercard over economic security concerns, as the EU and Indo-Pacific partners — with Canadian PM Mark Carney — discuss forming a major trade bloc. At the Munich Security Conference, Secretary of State Marco Rubio sought to reassure allies amid doubts about U.S. commitment to NATO, reportedly skipping EU leadership meetings while meeting Hungary's Viktor Orbán and Slovakia's Robert Fico. A joint European report concluded Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was killed with a rare synthetic toxin; Russia rejected the findings. In domestic news, ICE is planning a $38 billion detention expansion, including a Georgia warehouse purchased from Moscow-linked PNK Group at a steep markup. A separate report detailed turbulence inside DHS under Secretary Kristi Noem, including private jet travel and the firing — then rehiring — of a Coast Guard pilot over a misplaced blanket. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the Pentagon will end graduate partnerships with Harvard University and review similar programs. A federal grand jury declined to indict Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin over a video about refusing illegal orders. Meanwhile, the Bureau of Labor Statistics revised 2024–2025 job numbers down by more than 1.5 million combined — the largest downward revision in decades. And finally, former President Barack Obama clarified he's seen no evidence of extraterrestrials visiting Earth.
