As I delve into the intricacies of Project 2025, a sense of profound transformation and controversy envelops me. This initiative, backed by influential conservative think tanks such as the Heritage Foundation, is nothing short of a revolutionary blueprint aimed at reshaping the federal government of the United States. At its core, Project 2025 seeks to consolidate executive power in the White House, fundamentally altering the balance of American governance.The project's architects, including figures like Kiron Skinner, who briefly led the State Department's office of policy planning during the Trump administration, envision a government where the entire executive branch is under direct presidential control. This vision is rooted in the unitary executive theory, an expansive interpretation of presidential power that has been gaining traction since the Reagan era. Kevin Roberts, a key proponent, succinctly captures this ambition: "all federal employees should answer to the president."[4]One of the most striking aspects of Project 2025 is its proposal to dismantle the independence of critical federal agencies. The Department of Justice, the FBI, the Federal Communications Commission, and the Federal Trade Commission are all targeted for greater presidential oversight. This centralization of power is not merely a bureaucratic reshuffle; it represents a seismic shift in how the U.S. government operates. For instance, the project advocates for the dismissal of all Department of State employees in leadership roles before January 20, 2025, to be replaced by ideologically vetted appointees who do not require Senate confirmation. Skinner's perspective on this is telling: she believes most State Department employees are too left-wing and need to be replaced by those more loyal to a conservative president[4].The 900-page policy proposal is replete with specific reforms and policy objectives that paint a picture of a significantly streamlined and ideologically aligned federal workforce. The elimination of entire agencies, such as the Consumer Financial Protection Board and USAID, is a stark example of the project's scope. These actions are part of a broader effort to cut back on civil servants' powers and reduce what the project's backers see as inefficiencies across the federal government. As reported, the Trump administration, aided by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has already begun implementing these plans, albeit in a manner described as chaotic and legally questionable[5].The numbers are staggering: the Trump administration has either laid off or plans to lay off 280,253 federal workers and contractors, impacting 27 agencies. This purge is not just about reducing the federal workforce; it is about reshaping the government's ideological landscape. The project's proponents argue that this will lead to greater efficiency and alignment with conservative values, but critics see it as a dangerous erosion of institutional independence and a threat to public services.Experts and analysts are wary of the potential implications. The Center for Progressive Reform, for example, is tracking Project 2025's executive action proposals across 20 federal agencies, warning that these actions will have "devastating consequences for workers, the environment, and public health"[3]. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) also expresses deep concern, noting that the re-election of a president aligned with Project 2025's goals would have immense and far-reaching consequences for civil liberties and the rule of law[1].As I reflect on the latest developments, it becomes clear that Project 2025 is not just a policy initiative but a philosophical battle over the role of the executive branch in American democracy. The project's backers see it as a necessary correction to what they perceive as a bloated and inefficient bureaucracy, while critics view it as an authoritarian power grab.Looking ahead, the next few months will be crucial. As the project continues to unfold, key milestones will include the implementation of further agency eliminations and the replacement of federal employees with ideologically aligned appointees. The legal challenges to these actions will also come to a head, testing the limits of executive power and the resilience of the U.S. system of checks and balances.In the end, Project 2025 represents a crossroads in American governance, a moment where the very fabric of the federal government is being reimagined. Whether this transformation will lead to greater efficiency and alignment with conservative ideals or result in a dangerous concentration of power remains to be seen. One thing is certain, however: the future of American democracy hangs in the balance, and the decisions made now will have lasting implications for generations to come.

Giarrusso v. East Bank Consolidated

By Robert Riggs The Godfather. Goodfellas. The Sopranos. Hollywood entertained us with polished fiction—honor among thieves, loyalty bound by blood, men of principle wrapped in tailored suits. But the real mob? It was darker. Colder. Predatory. The smile came first. The knife came after. This is the true story of how FBI Special Agent Mike Campi helped dismantle the Genovese crime family—the oldest, largest, and most insidious of New York's five Mafia Families. Founded by Charles “Lucky” Luciano in 1931. Consolidated under Vito Genovese in the late 1950s. The family once ruled Manhattan's west side piers and the Fulton Fish Market on the East River with quiet brutality. Everything moved through their hands—money, muscle, silence. Campi joined the FBI's Organized Crime Squad in 1985, stepping into the heart of a sweeping federal assault on the American Mafia. Over the next two decades, he led investigations that exposed the rot behind the façade. His new book, Mafia Takedown, pulls back the curtain on what really happened. Not the Hollywood version. The truth.

On the Wednesday April 9th edition of Georgia Today: State lawmakers renew a tax credit helping children who age out of foster care; The University System of Georgia combines two schools; And a health expert says the federal government's message about vaccines is confusing.

Dan Dickson, CEO and Director of Endeavour Silver (TSX:EDR – NYSE:EXK), joins us to review the Q4 and full year operational metrics at the producing Guanacevi and Bolañitos silver mines, a construction update at the key Terronera Project in Mexico, the announcement of an acquisition of the producing Minera Kolpa Mine in Peru, and updates on the Pitarilla and Parral development projects.    Consolidated production last year from Guanacevi and Bolañitos met their updated 2024 guidance with 4,471,824 ounces (oz) of Silver (Ag) and 39,047 oz of gold (Au) for a total of 7.6 million silver equivalent oz. At Guanacevi in Q4 the operations team needed to replace and install a new ball mill trunnion, which was completed on November 30, 2024, and processing resumed in December to full capacity.   At the flagship Terronera Project, surface construction is nearing 90% complete. Dry commissioning is advancing on the Upper Platform, and the focus continues on the Lower Platform construction and filter press area, for full wet commissioning to begin here in Q2 2025. Dan anticipates commercial construction will commence in Q3 of this year. The Terronera Mine has the potential to double the production output, adding in around 7 million AgEq per year, with a very low All-In Sustaining Costs, projected to be down around $13 per AgEq oz.   Next we shifted over to the key news announced on April 1st, where that company announced a transaction to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Compañia Minera Kolpa S.A. (“ Minera Kolpa ”), and its main asset, the silver-focused polymetallic Huachocolpa Uno Mine (“ Kolpa ”); located in the districts of Huachocolpa and Santa Ana in the province and department of Huancavelica, approximately 490 km southeast of Lima, Peru. In 2024, the Kolpa mine produced approximately 2.0 million ounces of silver, 19,820 tonnes of lead, 12,554 tonnes of zinc and 518 tonnes of copper, for approximately 5.1 million silver equivalent ounces (“AgEq oz”). In 2024, the all-in sustaining costs of $22.80/oz Ag. The transaction is expected to close by June, and this will be a nice bolt-on producing mine for the company adding to the production profile in H2 and moving forward.   We wrap up discussing the further growth potential from the Pitarrilla and Parral Projects in Mexico.  Both are key advanced exploration and development projects in the portfolio that will have ongoing exploration and derisking work programs in the second half of this year. Dan mentions they have an eye to moving many of the development team members from Terronera over to Pitarilla, once Terronera is up and producing; working on further development next year as the next project to move down the pathway towards construction.       If you have any follow up questions for Dan regarding any of the work going on at the Endeavour Silver, then please email us at either Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Endeavour Silver at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to see the most recent news from Endeavour Silver

For a full transcript of this episode, click here. Unintended consequences is a thing. ERCowboy wrote on Twitter a while back, “In any complex system, the likelihood of unintended consequences vastly outweighs the predictability of intended ones.” In this healthcare podcast, we're talking about two state laws where this is apropos: CON (Certificates of Need) laws and then COPA (Certificates of Public Advantage). Turns out, states actually have pretty much power to impact the competitive landscape in their state. They have a lot of levers they can pull. States really can make a difference in terms of improving real competition on value and on cost and quality. So, these two laws are, in a way, their attempt to do so. Before we kick into what's going on here, I think it is important to point out that these laws on their face aren't an obviously and overtly terrible mistake. This isn't like equivalent to accidentally putting ChapStick in the dryer. There were good people who spied a problem and had an idea for how to fix it. I'm reminded of something I read by Nicholas Kristof on a totally different topic, but he wrote, “The central problem is not so much that the effort was unserious as it's more focused on intentions than on oversight and outcomes.” And that pretty much sums up, I think, the gist of what's going on here. And I can say that because here we are in a position to Monday morning quarterback. So, I've invited Ann Kempski on the pod to point out what hindsight may reveal about these well-intentioned efforts, the CON and COPA laws. First up, let's talk about Certificate of Need laws, or the CONs. Currently, we have 35 states and Washington, DC, that operate CON programs with wide variations by state. The National Conference of State Legislatures has a good overview of each state's laws. Why did these laws originally get put into effect? They got put into effect to cut down on supply-driven demand that was considered to potentially raise total cost of care—because in healthcare, unlike Econ 101, more supply doesn't mean lower prices. In the real world, if you have more supply, volume goes up and total cost of care goes up, too. So, it could be considered good thinking to limit the amount of supply. Except there's four problems that wind up happening often enough, which is why some states are busy repealing these CON laws. We cover these four problems in the show that follows. Spoiler alert: What happens a lot of times is that the big get bigger. Consolidated entities have an upper hand, and we all know consolidated entities are generally not known for their competitive prices or their desire to rationalize volume. So, yeah … we dig into this and parse it out into, as I said, four main problems; but this is most commonly where it all winds up (ie, total cost of care does not go down). I have included links that Ann Kempski shared with me, including a statement from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Department of Justice detailing the anticompetitive effects of state CON laws. There's also a document written by a former FTC commissioner that highlights how state CON laws can inhibit competition. And then lastly, a systemic review of 90 studies that find the costs of CON laws exceed their benefits. Okay, so let's move on to our number two state law that often does not go as planned; and this is the Certificate of Public Advantage, or the COPA, laws. Approximately 19 states have them, and these laws attempt to immunize hospital mergers from antitrust laws by replacing competition with state oversight. The idea here is that a state tells the FTC to stand down and gives their seal of approval to a merger to stop it from getting scrutinized for antitrust violations. So, like, a big dominant health system gets an okay to buy a rural hospital. Meanwhile, everybody realizes this will lead to a situation where there is a dominant health system and that dominant health system will reduce competition. But the state may choose to do this because … public advantage, as in the “PA” in COPA, Certificate of Public Advantage. But they'll do this because the state has decided that the public advantage of allowing the possibly problematic anticompetitive merger to move forward, the public advantage is a bigger advantage than having competition. Hmmm … what could go wrong here? Well, several things that Ann Kempski discusses in the show that follows. The Federal Trade Commission strongly advised the states against enacting these laws. Here is a link to this article that was on the FTC Web site. I was so thrilled to get the chance to chat with Ann Kempski, who knows so much about these topics. Ann Kempski is an independent healthcare consultant with a background in the labor movement, advocating for healthcare workers and purchasers for many years. Ann Kempski collaborates with clients to strengthen primary care, enhance union health funds, and reduce commercial prices. She often partners with academics from Johns Hopkins to analyze hospital transparency data for insights into market trends. Before we jump into the episode, we've had a loss in our community. We've had actually several, one of them being Marshall Allen, another one being Suzanne Delbanco. I know our guest today worked alongside of and really admired Suzanne. Ann Kempski says: “Suzanne was a kindred spirit and a real inspiration for me and many others. She founded two very influential nonprofit organizations: first, The Leapfrog Group and then, second, Catalyst for Payment Reform, which is dedicated to empowering purchasers to be more effective purchasers in the healthcare marketplace.” Additional Resources on State Laws and Policies That Promote Hospital Consolidation, Inhibit Competition Certificate of Public Advantage (COPA) Laws A recent story from Tennessee highlights the weak oversight and observed in COPA-related hospital mergers.

Ann currently supports organizations and efforts to strengthen primary care payment and transition away from fee for service, promote competition in commercial healthcare prices and coverage, and expand access to evidence-based behavioral health services. Ann is especially grateful to collaborate with and learn from talented graduate students and faculty at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health on research and policy analysis to understand commercial market and price dynamics and provider behavior.
