This morning, we kick-off a new series in the prophetic book of Micah. Written to call God's people back to a right relationship with him, Micah's prophecies both warn about the consequences of sin, and put forward the hope of restoration by grace. Today, in Micah 1, we'll see how the persistent sin of idolatry – which caused Israel to incur the judgment of exile – motivates us today to turn from our idols through faith in Jesus as the only cure for our sin and idolatry.

This episode is an update and re-record of episode 56Consequences. Punishments. Limits. Boundaries.These words don't mean the same thing but we often use them interchangeably.In this episode, we get clear on what exactly is a consequence versus a punishment versus a boundary.And how parenting through the lens of regulation, connection, and felt-safety is absolutely not boundary-less or permissive parenting. It's a way of looking at our kids and asking "What does my child need for their success to be inevitable?" and then giving them that.It definitely isn't about making sure our kids are always happy or never frustrated or we always say yes.It's about changing the lens on how we view their expressions of emotions and behaviors.And yes- it's about setting boundaries that keep our kids safe and help their brains develop the internalized co-regulation (self-regulation!) they need!Read a summary of this episode and access the full show notes at: RobynGobbel.com/WhatAboutAConsequenceThe Club- you never wanted to join, but are SO glad when you do.

At first glance, these sources don't seem related. But when you connect them, they reveal a pattern we can't afford to ignore — and it's more unsettling than most of us would like to admit. It's time for an honest, slightly uncomfortable conversation about where we are — and maybe to sit down and remember what mom and dad always said about choices and consequences… even if we really didn't want to hear it.

They discuss topics such as preparing children for college drinking, the ethics of fake IDs, connecting kids with potential partners, transforming children's rooms, rules for new drivers, and the responsibilities of pet ownership. Throughout the conversation, they emphasize the importance of communication, understanding individual child needs, and setting clear boundaries.

"He lied more than I thought he did—and I thought he lied a lot." — Tom Wells on Henry KissingerIn our Epstein age, everyone seems to have access to everyone else's dirtiest secrets. But half a century ago, in the Watergate era, it was harder to get one's hands on the secret files, phone calls and other private data. But historian Tom Wells has done exactly that with the private phone calls of Henry Kissinger. Wells' new book, The Kissinger Tapes, is based on transcripts of Kissinger's secretly recorded phone conversations—recordings he made primarily for his memoirs and to keep track of what he told to whom.Wells came to the project as a Kissinger critic but found himself respecting certain things about him: particularly his stamina, the work ethic and political skills. What Wells didn't expect was to discover that Kissinger lied even more than most of us assume. Especially about Vietnam and Cambodia. The most damning revelation is his callousness. Kissinger reveled in body counts, Wells reports. He even supported American planes indiscriminately bombing Vietnam so as to hit something. Anything. Anyone.So was Kissinger evil? Or was he, to borrow from Arendt's account of the Adolf Eichmann trial, banal? Whereas Eichmann might have been following orders, Henry Kissinger was following his own career. One was an efficient bureaucrat, the other a supreme networker. Neither had any sensitivity to human suffering. Five Takeaways● He Lied More Than Expected: Wells came to the project already critical of Kissinger. But going through the transcripts, he discovered Kissinger lied even more than he'd assumed. About the secret wiretaps of government officials and journalists. About the false reporting system for the Cambodia bombing. He kept saying he didn't know anything, had nothing to do with it. He did.● The Callousness Is Stunning: Nixon and Kissinger reveled in body counts. Nixon said, "I don't care about the civilian casualties." During the Laos invasion, he said he didn't even care if they lost 10,000 South Vietnamese troops. Kissinger remarked that if American planes just dropped bombs out the door without aiming, they'd have to hit something. This wasn't indifference. It was gratification.● Morality Was Not Part of the Calculation: Kissinger saw most conflicts through the lens of U.S.-Soviet rivalry. The balance of power mattered. The human cost didn't. They secretly armed the Pakistani military during the Bangladesh genocide—between 300,000 and 3 million dead—because they needed Pakistan as a channel to China. The opening to Beijing was more important than the slaughter.● He Was Supremely Two-Faced: Kissinger was always deferential to Nixon's face, always addressed him as "Mr. President." Behind his back, he said nasty things. He trashed Secretary of State William Rogers constantly. He and Defense Secretary Melvin Laird were rivals, both master leakers, both devious. They came to respect each other for it.● Evil or Banal?: Hannah Arendt wrote about the banality of evil after covering the Eichmann trial. Some apply that framework to Kissinger. But there's a difference. Eichmann was following orders. Kissinger was following his career. One was an efficient bureaucrat. The other a supreme networker. Neither had any sensitivity to human suffering. About the GuestTom Wells is a historian and the author of The War Within: America's Battle Over Vietnam. He is based in New Mexico.ReferencesBooks mentioned:● The Kissinger Tapes: Inside His Secretly Recorded Phone Conversations by Tom Wells — his new book based on transcripts of Kissinger's phone recordings.● Zbig: The Man Who Cracked the Kremlin by Edward Luce — biography of Zbigniew Brzezinski, Kissinger's rival.People mentioned:● Hannah Arendt wrote about "the banality of evil" while covering the Eichmann trial—a framework some apply to Kissinger.● Daniel Ellsberg leaked the Pentagon Papers; his son's book Truth and Consequences is discussed next week on the show.About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

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.

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.

In this episode, Steve and Katie sit down with Officer Ron “RJ” Johnson from the Redding Police Department's Traffic Division to explore how a new DUI-focused traffic safety grant is helping keep Redding's roads safer.RJ breaks down how the grant supports a wide range of initiatives — from DUI checkpoints and officer training to school presentations and public education about the dangers of impaired driving. With impairment now coming from alcohol, cannabis, prescription drugs, and even combinations of substances, this work has never been more critical.Listeners will hear what officers are actually seeing on Redding's roads, how legalization and changing attitudes around substances are affecting driver behavior, and the surprising trends emerging from recent enforcement efforts.Whether you're a parent, a daily commuter, or someone who simply wants a safer community, this conversation offers valuable insight into how RPD is working to reduce impaired driving and protect the public.Tune in for an informative and eye-opening discussion with Officer Ron Johnson.Contact the City of Redding Podcast Team Email us at podcast@cityofredding.org Connect with us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram Visit the City of Redding website Love the podcast?

The Lead with Empower Podcast is back! Join Empower Leadership's Assistant General Manager, Zack Morello, and President, Dan Jaskot, for a variety of topics all focused on empowering and inspiring 1 Million Individuals to become positive leaders in their communities. This "experiential essentials" podcast is created by team building practitioners for individuals and teams hoping to strengthen their culture, empower individuals to become leaders, and foster a greater sense of collaboration between team members. The topic of the episode is "planning of the start, planning of the middle and not the end". The speakers note that students, athletes, and others often focus their efforts on starting an activity and getting through the middle, but neglect planning how to finish it. Key points from the discussion: ● Observation as Facilitators: As facilitators of team-building activities, the speakers often see groups dedicate almost all of their energy and focus to the start and middle sections of an activity. Groups will execute their plan, make serious progress toward the finish line, and then arrive at the end with no idea what to do, often missing the finish or breaking a rule. ● The Consequences of Not Planning the Finish: This lack of preparation for the end results in groups failing near completion (often 90% or more of the way through) and having to restart. The repeated struggle and failure leads to mounting frustration, finger-pointing, and blame, eventually causing negative momentum that can bleed over into even the start and middle of the activity. ● The Solution: Reverse Engineering: The recommended approach is to "start with the end goal in mind and then you almost reverse engineer your plan". This means: ○ Identifying the end goal. ○ Figuring out the first step or five steps. ○ Determining what the middle section will entail. ○ Planning for the last few percentage points of the goal. ● Benefit of Preparation: Putting in extra work at the start to plan the beginning, middle, and end is less work than having to redo the task repeatedly because the group "can't seal the deal". This approach is similar to how sports teams coach for two-minute drills or onside kicks, preparing for scenarios that may or may not happen. ● Real-World Examples: The concept of reverse engineering can be applied to business, such as in sales where a monthly goal is broken down into a daily plan. The speakers note that special people are able to see a task through to the finish line, while "anyone can start something". ● The Value of Practice: The speakers emphasize that while initial planning won't be perfect, practicing the end part of the activity helps eliminate what doesn't work and shortens the parameters for success. One speaker shared a memorable example of a group of high school students who, after one failed attempt, took two minutes to practice just putting the object in the bucket.

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.

Education gives injured workers control and control is protection.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
