We don't like it when situations get complicated. We hate being confused. We want everything to go back to making sense again--and right away. One way to make this happen is to find someone to blame. It's that person's fault. Whew! We label that person and never again consider them in their wholeness. Reducing someone to a label is a sure way to turn them into an object lesson rather than a complex human being who may a different story to tell rather than the one me make up so we can feel better. A great example of an attempt like this shows up in the Book of Mormon story of Korihor, labeled "Anti-Christ" and someone who had done evil at Satan's bidding. Through touchstones with personal stories of theirs and other ones we often meet in LDS culture, Terri Petersen, Mark Crego, and LDF host Dan Wotherspoon dive into the Korihor story to name and expand on this basic dynamic of Fear/Blame/Label/Dismiss, and how it can be so harmful in our lives and culture. What if we interrogate this phenomenon? Might we flip the script on the Korihor story? Who is writing it? Why are they telling it in the way they are? What might be missing from it? With such questions in mind related to the tale of Korihor, could that help us dive deeper into the stories we tell ourselves? And wouldn't it be good to give others the privilege of being more complex than a cautionary tale? We hope you'll find this conversation thought provoking!
Send us a textIn this podcast episode, I delve into invalidation and its significant impact on romantic relationships. I highlight common invalidating statements such as "Why are you upset?", "You're overreacting," or "Calm down," explaining that these make a partner feel their emotions are wrong, unjustified, or excessive. This can lead to increased frustration, shame, and a sense of being alone in their struggle, mirroring the hurt children feel when invalidated.I emphasize the importance of using validating alternatives, such as "I see that you're feeling upset. Can you tell me what's making you feel this way?" or "It sounds like you're feeling anxious right now. That must be really uncomfortable. How can I support you?". These phrases aim to make the partner feel seen and heard, fostering connection and reducing conflict.I then introduce a study on marital conflict behaviors, categorizing them into three styles:•Destructive: Includes actions like yelling, insults, criticism, or bringing up past issues.•Constructive: Involves calm discussion, active listening, saying nice things, or trying to make a spouse laugh.•Withdrawal: Entails disengaging, such as becoming quiet or leaving the situation.The study found that, as expected, husbands and wives who reported using more destructive behaviors had a higher rate of divorce. A particularly fascinating and counter-intuitive finding was that greater constructive behaviors among wives predicted greater divorce rates.

Police Confirm BigfootIn July 2010, a city police officer in Spencer County, Indiana, experienced an unsettling encounter while staying alone at a friend's house on a large, forested property. Late at night, while unpacking on his day off, he felt an eerie sense of being watched. Dismissing it initially, he continued his tasks with his sidearm on. However, the situation escalated when a rock struck the front window, prompting him to grab his shotgun and step onto the porch, suspecting trespassers. There, he spotted a large silhouette at the tree line, roughly 40 yards away, standing nearly eye-level with him despite the elevated porch. As a seasoned officer, he was accustomed to high-pressure situations, but this figure left him frozen and unnerved.The encounter lasted only seconds, with the figure snorting loudly before retreating into the woods, its departure marked by the sound of breaking branches. The officer felt no direct threat and chose not to aim his weapon, sensing the figure's curiosity rather than hostility. Unable to sleep, he later drove to his station and met a county deputy who casually mentioned reports of a large figure in a ghillie suit in the area, referring to it as a recurring presence. The officer learned of similar sightings nearby, including reports four and six miles from his location, suggesting the mysterious figure was known in the region, possibly a local legend or unexplained phenomenon.Join my Supporters Club for $4.99 per month for exclusive stories:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support
Authentically ADHD – ADHD, Alexithymia, and Anhedonia: Understanding Emotions and MotivationHello and welcome to Authentically ADHD! I'm Carmen, your host. Today, we're diving into a topic that might hit very close to home for a lot of us: the confusing intersection of ADHD, alexithymia, and anhedonia. Now, those are some big, clinical-sounding words – but don't worry. We're going to break them down in plain language and talk about how they can overlap in real life. If you've ever thought, “Why can't I figure out what I'm feeling?” or “Why don't I enjoy things the way I used to?”, or if you find yourself emotionally drained after a long day of masking your ADHD traits, then this episode is for you.In this 25–30 minute journey, we'll mix a bit of neuroscience (in a friendly, non-intimidating way) with personal storytelling. I'll share some of my own experiences, and we'll explore what research says about why these experiences happen. By the end, you'll have a clearer understanding of what ADHD, alexithymia, and anhedonia really mean, why they often go hand-in-hand (especially in neurodivergent folks like us), and what we can do to cope and thrive. We'll also bust some common myths and misunderstandings – including why these issues often get overlooked or dismissed, especially in women and people diagnosed later in life. And as always, we'll wrap up with strategies and a big dose of validation and hope. So, get comfy (or start that task you've been putting off and take us along!), and let's get started.Understanding ADHD, Alexithymia, and AnhedoniaBefore we delve into how these things intersect, let's clearly define each of these terms. They each describe a different piece of the puzzle of our emotional and mental life. Understanding what they are will help us see how they connect. In a nutshell:ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder): ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent patterns of inattention (difficulty focusing, forgetfulness), hyperactivity (restlessness, fidgeting), and impulsivity (acting without thinking) that interfere with daily functioningneurolaunch.com. In adults, ADHD can look like struggling to stay organized, constantly losing your keys, jumping from one idea to another, or even feeling emotionally impulsive. It's not just “kids being hyper” – it's a lifelong brain-based condition affecting how we concentrate, manage time, and regulate behavior and emotions.Alexithymia: Alexithymia is not a disorder but a personality trait or profile, often described as having difficulty identifying and describing your emotionsneurodivergentinsights.com. The word literally means “without words for emotion.” If you have alexithymia, you might feel strong emotions physically (like a racing heart or a knot in your stomach) but struggle to pinpoint what the emotion is (is it anxiety? anger? hunger?) and find words to express it. Alexithymia exists on a spectrum – some people have mild trouble with emotions, others have it to a more severe degreeneurodivergentinsights.com. It frequently co-occurs with neurodivergent conditions; in fact, research suggests that a significant subset of people with ADHD (estimates range from about 20% to over 40%) also have alexithymianeurodivergentinsights.combhcsmt.com. So, if you have ADHD and you've always felt “out of touch” with your emotions, alexithymia might be a concept that resonates with you.Anhedonia: Anhedonia means an inability or reduced ability to experience pleasure. It's like the volume knob for enjoyment is turned way down. People with anhedonia struggle to feel joy or interest in activities that used to be fun or rewardingneurolaunch.com. This term is often discussed in the context of depression (since losing pleasure is a core symptom of depressive episodes), but it's not exclusive to depression. As we'll explore, anhedonia can also show up in ADHD. If you find that hobbies, socializing, or accomplishments don't light you up the way they do for others (or the way they once did for you), anhedonia could be at play. It can feel like emotional flatness or being chronically “uninspired” – you want to want things, but the feeling isn't there.Each of these three – ADHD, alexithymia, and anhedonia – is distinct. ADHD is an officially recognized neurodevelopmental condition affecting attention and self-regulation. Alexithymia is a descriptive trait about emotional awareness. Anhedonia is a symptom state of not experiencing pleasure. Yet, despite their differences, these experiences often overlap and tangle together, especially for neurodivergent individuals. When someone has ADHD, they're more likely to also experience traits of alexithymianeurodivergentinsights.com, and they may be more prone to anhedonia or “low hedonic tone” (low baseline ability to feel reward) than the general populationen.wikipedia.org. Why is that? Let's dig into the brain science to find out.The Neuroscience Behind the OverlapSo, why do ADHD, alexithymia, and anhedonia so often form a trio? To answer that, we need to talk about how our brains process emotions and rewards. Don't worry – we'll keep it conversational. Imagine your brain as an orchestra: different sections handle different parts of the music. When everything's in tune, you get a harmonious experience of life – you feel emotions, you find joy in activities, you focus when you need to. With ADHD, alexithymia, and anhedonia, some sections of the orchestra are either playing off-key or playing too quietly to hear.One key player here is dopamine, a neurotransmitter often nicknamed the “reward chemical.” Dopamine is heavily involved in motivation, pleasure, and attention – basically the brain's way of saying “Hey, this is important/fun, focus on this!” In ADHD brains, dopamine signaling doesn't work typically; it can be underactive or dysregulatedneurolaunch.comneurolaunch.com. Think of it like a weak Wi-Fi signal in the reward circuits of the brain – messages about reward and pleasure just aren't getting through fast or strong enough. Because of this, everyday tasks might not feel as rewarding to someone with ADHD as they do to someone without ADHD. Science actually shows that ADHD-related dopamine impairments can dysregulate the brain's reward processing and lead to anhedonia (difficulty feeling pleasure) in some individualsen.wikipedia.org. In other words, the same brain chemistry quirk that makes it hard to concentrate can also turn down the volume on enjoyment and motivation.Now, what about alexithymia? While dopamine is more about the reward system, alexithymia has a lot to do with our brain's emotional awareness and interoception (a fancy word for sensing the internal state of your body). Some researchers believe alexithymia is essentially a problem with how the brain's insula and related regions process internal signalsbhcsmt.com. The insula is like the brain's monitor for bodily and emotional sensations – it helps you notice a fast heartbeat and connect it to “I feel anxious,” for example. In alexithymia, that monitoring system might be glitchy. Emotions are still happening under the hood (we still produce the bodily reactions and basic emotional responses), but the translation of those signals into conscious awareness and labels doesn't work well. It's as if the brain doesn't label the emotions correctly or at all. This is why someone with alexithymia can seem calm or unaffected externally while internally their heart is pounding – they truly might not recognize what they're feeling, or they might just register a vague discomfort without an emotional label. Interestingly, alexithymia has been called a “disconnect between the emotional and thinking parts of the brain.” The emotional signals are there, but the cortex (thinking brain) can't interpret them properly.So, how do these tie together? ADHD and alexithymia share some overlapping brain differences. For one, both are linked to difficulties in emotional regulation. ADHD isn't just about attention – many experts now recognize that emotional impulsivity and difficulty regulating feelings are core aspects of ADHD for many peopleneurodivergentinsights.com. If you have ADHD, you might feel things more intensely but also more fleetingly, and you can struggle to manage those feelings (for example, quick frustration, or being easily hurt by criticism, then rapidly switching to another mood). Now add alexithymia into the mix: you have big emotions (possibly ADHD-related) but poor insight into them. That's a challenging combo! In fact, having alexithymia can make it even harder for ADHDers to understand and regulate their emotional ups and downsneurodivergentinsights.comneurodivergentinsights.com. It's like trying to drive a car with a super sensitive gas pedal (ADHD emotions) but a foggy windshield (alexithymia blocking your view of what's happening inside you).Neuroscience also hints at other overlaps. Both ADHD and alexithymia have been associated with atypical functioning in the prefrontal cortex (the brain's executive control center) and in connections between the cortex and deeper emotional brain regions. ADHD's executive function challenges mean the brain can struggle to pause and reflect – which might also affect the ability to reflect on and name emotions. If you're constantly chasing the next stimulus or fighting to focus, you might not have the bandwidth to analyze “What am I feeling right now?” Similarly, alexithymia may involve less activation or connectivity in areas that integrate bodily states into emotional awareness (like the anterior insula, for those who love brain specifics). There's even some evidence pointing to dopamine's role in emotional awareness: conditions with dopamine dysfunction (like Parkinson's disease and yes, ADHD) show high rates of alexithymiabhcsmt.com. Fascinatingly, one study found that when ADHD patients with alexithymia were treated with stimulant medication (which boosts dopamine), their alexithymia scores improved and they became more emotionally aware over six monthsbhcsmt.combhcsmt.com. That's a neat clue that brain chemistry ties these experiences together. Dopamine doesn't just help you focus; it also might help you feel.In summary, the brain's reward and emotion systems are interconnected. ADHD's neurochemistry (like low dopamine) can set the stage for anhedonia – the brain isn't signaling “reward!” as it should, so you might not feel the pleasure or motivation that others do from the same eventneurolaunch.comen.wikipedia.org. Meanwhile, ADHD's cognitive and emotional dysregulation can set the stage for alexithymia – life is fast, attention is scattered, emotions swing, and the self-reflection wires get crossed, leaving you unsure of what you feel. And of course, alexithymia itself can contribute to anhedonia: if you struggle to recognize feelings, you might also have trouble recognizing pleasure or excitement. In fact, one hallmark of alexithymia is an externally oriented thinking style and little attention to inner feelings, which has been linked to a reduced ability to experience positive emotionsneurodivergentinsights.com. That sounds an awful lot like blunted pleasure. So these three concepts feed into each other in a cycle. Next, let's talk about what that cycle feels like in everyday life.When These Worlds Collide: Emotional Regulation, Motivation, and Daily LifeLiving with any one of these — ADHD, alexithymia, or anhedonia — can be challenging. But when they overlap, it can feel like a perfect storm. Let's paint a picture of how that overlap can complicate emotional regulation, motivation, and just day-to-day functioning:1. Emotional Regulation Woes: With ADHD, emotions can be intense and quick to change, but also quick to be forgotten. Add alexithymia, and you might not even know what you're feeling until it boils over. Many of us with ADHD have been told we're “too sensitive” or “overreacting,” when in reality we felt an emotion suddenly and strongly, and it was hard to modulate it. Now imagine not having a good handle on what that emotion was – that's the alexithymia piece. You might go from zero to sixty (calm to furious or panicked) without recognizing, “I'm getting upset” until you're at the breaking point. Afterwards, you might struggle to explain to someone (or to yourself) why you reacted that way, because you lack words for those internal states. This overlap often leads to feeling out of control or ashamed of one's emotions. It can also lead to something I call emotional whiplash: you're overwhelmed by feelings in one moment, and utterly numb the next. That numbness can be a form of anhedonia or emotional shutdown – a brain response where, after so much intense feeling and confusion, you kind of just go blank. Over time, experiencing this rollercoaster can make you anxious about your own emotional reactions (“What if I explode or break down and I don't even know why?”).2. Motivation and Reward: A common ADHD experience is struggling to start or finish tasks that aren't inherently interesting – our brains crave stimulation (the “interest-based nervous system,” as it's sometimes called). Now tack on anhedonia. If you don't feel much pleasure or reward even when you complete something or do something fun, it's doubly hard to motivate yourself. It becomes a vicious cycleneurolaunch.comneurolaunch.com: ADHD makes it hard to stick with activities (so you might impulsively seek something new or get distracted), and anhedonia makes it unrewarding to do so (so even if you stick to it, you feel like “meh, that was pointless”). Picture trying to play a video game where every time you accomplish a mission, the game doesn't give you any points or fanfare – you'd probably lose interest quickly! That's what the ADHD-anhedonia combo can feel like in real life. Even hobbies you know you used to love might not give you the dopamine hit they once did, which is deeply frustrating. You might cycle through activities or careers or relationships, always searching for that spark of joy or interest, but finding that your brain's reward system isn't lighting up as expected. People around you might label you as flaky or lazy, when in truth your brain is under-stimulated and under-rewarded, making sustained effort feel like running a marathon with ankle weights on.3. Daily Functioning and Executive Function: Executive functions (things like planning, organizing, time management) are already a challenge in ADHD. Combine that with these emotional and motivational difficulties, and daily life can get chaotic. For instance, say you have an important project to do. ADHD might have you procrastinating until the last minute because, well, focus is hard until urgency kicks in. Anhedonia means even the reward of “I'll feel proud when this is done” or “I'll enjoy doing this piece I usually like” doesn't register strongly, so there's not much internal pull to start the task. Meanwhile, alexithymia means you might not realize how anxious it's making you to leave it so late – you just feel a vague tension or you get irritable without connecting it to stress. All of this might result in a last-minute panic, tears of frustration you didn't see coming, or even a shutdown where you just can't do it at all. Daily tasks like household chores or self-care can similarly fall apart. You know on some level that you'll feel better if you shower or clean the kitchen, but you don't feel that reward normally (anhedonia), and you don't really register how crummy it feels to be unwashed or in a mess until it's extreme (alexithymia's lack of internal cues), and ADHD has you distracted by a million other more interesting things in the moment. It's easy to see how this trio can impact routines, health, work performance – basically any aspect of daily living.4. Social and Relationship Impact: Emotions and enjoyment are huge parts of how we connect with others. When you have alexithymia, people might perceive you as distant, cold, or uninterested because you don't express emotions in a typical way or struggle to empathize verbally. You might care deeply, but you don't show it with “I'm so happy for you” or “I'm upset about this” because you can't quite identify those feelings in the first place. With ADHD, you might interrupt or space out in conversations, or you feel emotions so strongly that you come on too intense, which can be hard for others to navigate. Now, add anhedonia – maybe you stop wanting to go out with friends or initiate activities because you just don't find joy in them, so people think you're avoiding them or being negative. Misunderstandings abound. A friend might think you don't care about their troubles because you didn't show much emotion when they were sad (when in fact you did care but couldn't express it). A partner might feel hurt that you never seem excited about doing things together anymore, or that you're disengaged. Daily life with others becomes a minefield of potential misinterpretations, where your internal state and your outward actions don't line up in the “expected” way.Everything we just described can seriously affect one's self-esteem and mental health, too. It's common for people in this overlap to start thinking, “What's wrong with me?” or to assume they're just bad at life or broken. Let me assure you right now: you are not broken, and you're not alone in this. There are explanations for why you feel the way you do, and with understanding comes the ability to find new strategies. But before we get to coping strategies, it's important to address some of those misunderstandings from the outside world in a bit more detail – especially how they play out for women and late-diagnosed adults.Misunderstandings and Missed DiagnosesWhen you're dealing with ADHD, alexithymia, and anhedonia, other people in your life (and even some professionals) might not “get it.” These conditions – particularly alexithymia and anhedonia – are often invisible. To someone on the outside, your behaviors might be misread in a bunch of uncharitable ways. Let's clear the air on some common misunderstandings:“You're just being lazy/unmotivated.” How many of us with ADHD have heard that one?
When your emotions feel overwhelming, pushing them away seems like the only option. That familiar tightness in your chest, the urge to fix everything immediately, the exhaustion that comes from constantly suppressing what you feel - these experiences shape how you move through each day. Through this episode, you'll discover how to relate to your emotions as messengers carrying vital information rather than inconveniences to manage. You'll learn practical ways to shift from reflexively fixing or avoiding difficult feelings to approaching them with curiosity and compassion. By the end, you'll have concrete tools for turning toward your emotions instead of away from them, creating a richer understanding of yourself in the process.

In the case of Jane Doe v. Sean Combs et al. (Civ. No. 1:24-cv-08054-MKV), Defendant Marriott International, Inc. has submitted a reply memorandum in further support of its motion to dismiss the complaint. Marriott argues that the plaintiff's allegations fail to establish a legal basis for holding the company liable for the alleged actions of the co-defendants. They contend that the complaint lacks specific factual assertions linking Marriott to any wrongful conduct and that mere association with other defendants does not suffice to state a claim.Furthermore, Marriott emphasizes that the plaintiff's claims against it are speculative and unsupported by concrete evidence. The company asserts that the complaint does not demonstrate how Marriott had any control over or direct involvement in the alleged incidents. As a result, Marriott requests that the court dismiss the claims against it, arguing that allowing the case to proceed without substantive allegations would set a concerning precedent for corporate liability based on tenuous connections.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Microsoft Word - Reply ISO MTD (Marriott _ McCrary)(1618681774.5).docxBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

On today's episode I start off with the universe ending me a message after last weeks pod, since i felt that i was in a simulation and it decided to throw this monkey wrench into my life and made me run into someone i was not expecting to run in to. i also ended up in a compromising position and was caught on the side of the road with some fruit in hand, and i was recognized and asked if i needed money, In which i replied yes, yes i do. From there i went on a date and things took a turn in the middle of brunch. My date couldn't tell if we were in a racist situation or a misunderstanding, It was quite funny to me.JUST FOUND ME - THE RANCE ALLEN GROUPTRIUMPH - WU TANG CLAN(00:00 - 25:19)I have a new not so new segment which is about movie reviews and spoilers. This week i speak about “ FROM THE WORLD OF JOHN WICK BALLERINA” yes that is the whole tittle of the movie which is wild to me. But it is a good movie to watch and support. I think this movie could be a franchise movie but will have to try differentiate itself from the franchise. I love that they didn't try to over do it and make the character stronger than is and played to strengths instead of trying to make it seem like she was more than she was. (25:20 - 41:02)I then jump into The Cool Report where i discuss getting upset with a Joe Rogan clip where they hear live news on the president and refuse to speak on the situation. Him along with the director of the fib decide to dodge the bullet and it makes me look at them weird because he is literally a journalist and f the feds heard anything illegal should they have not question some thing a little. From there we talk more politics that take place in NYC. For some reason theirs a debate on wether the new mayoral elect has to take a trip to Israel, and i found that real weird for them to try to push. From there we get into music were we discuss the Clipse and new label beef. It seems Def Jam is not aligned with its pass and has complete changed. Dismissing legendary acts to appease other entities. (41:03 - 01:02:04)We then step into a segment where the listeners ask me 3 questions about myself or just randomness. A character ask i i know the meaning of the new fairy song, I believe they're trying to say its a song about rostitution and got to learn what a 16 is in street terms. Another character wants to know what my inhibitions are, which another wants to know if men are really happy with their choices in partners. (01:02:05 - 01:10:34)Then we have 2 fans ask us a questions for PTL where we get asked the tough questions where we place ourselves in their shoes. Like trying to get your partner to be more feminine because everyone else thinks they have masculine features. Another lover wants the real daddy to step up in their kids life finically but totally seems to forget that's what they signed up for, you're not the step daddy, you're the dad that stepped up or whatever Micheal Jackson dad said. (01:10:35 - 01:22:12)THE FINi give thank to everyone that shows us love and wish y'all the best on the journey called life.(01:22:13 - 01:25:17)please continue to like, share, comment and subscribe.PEACE OUT!!!!

Ralph welcomes Heidi Shierholz, president of the Economic Policy Institute, to break down the budget bill passing through Congress that is the largest transfer of wealth from the poor and working-class to the wealthy in United States history. Then, insurance expert, Robert Hunter returns to discuss the recent rise in auto insurance rates.Heidi Shierholz is the president of the Economic Policy Institute, a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank that uses the power of its research on economic trends and on the impact of economic policies to advance reforms that serve working people, deliver racial justice, and guarantee gender equity. In 2021 she became the fourth president EPI has had since its founding in 1986.We've never seen a budget that so plainly takes from the poor to give to the rich… The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found that lower and lower middle-income people will actually lose out. They may get something of a tax break, but they lose benefits. So that on net, their after-tax income will be lower after this bill, while the rich just make out like bandits.Heidi Shierholz, President of the Economic Policy InstituteThe draconian cuts that we are seeing to the safety net are not big enough, because the tax increases are so huge that this bill also increases the deficit dramatically.Heidi ShierholzMany folks are calling this the MAGA Murder Bill. They're not wrong. People will die because of the cuts that we're seeing here.Heidi ShierholzRobert Hunter is the Director Emeritus of Insurance at the Consumer Federation of America. He has held many positions in the field, both public and private, including being the Commissioner of Insurance for the State of Texas being the President and Founder of the National Insurance Consumer Organization and served as United States Federal Insurance Administrator.Decide how much you need. Don't ask for more than you really need. And then once you have it, “I need this much for my car. I need this much if I hit somebody” and so on. And then you get that statistic, and you send it out to several companies and get quotes.Robert Hunter on buying auto insuranceThere isn't any program benefiting the American people that Trump is not cutting in order to turn the country over to the giant corporations and the super-rich. It's basically an overthrow of the government and an overthrow of the rule of law.Ralph NaderNews 6/6/251. On May 23rd, the Trump administration Department of Justice officially announced it had reached an agreement with Boeing to drop its criminal case against the airline manufacturer related to the 2018 and 2019 crashes that killed 346 people, NPR reports. The turnover at the federal government in recent years has prolonged this case; the first Trump administration reached a deferred prosecution agreement with Boeing in 2021, but prosecutors revived the criminal case under President Biden, and as NPR notes, “Boeing agreed last year to plead guilty to defrauding regulators, but a federal judge rejected that proposed plea deal.” Just before the deal was reached, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal penned a letter calling on the DOJ not to “allow [Boeing] to weasel its way out of accountability for its failed corporate culture, and for any illegal behavior that has resulted in deadly consequence,” but this was clearly ignored. Paul Cassell, a law professor at the University of Utah and former federal judge who, according to NPR, is representing the families of victims for free, said, “This kind of non-prosecution deal is unprecedented and obviously wrong for the deadliest corporate crime in U.S. history…My families will object and hope to convince the court to reject [the deal]."2. That same day, Trump signed a new executive order to “cut down on regulations and fast-track new licenses for [nuclear] reactors and power plants,” per Reuters. According to the wire service, “Shares of uranium mining companies Uranium Energy…Energy Fuels…and Centrus Energy…jumped between 19.6% and 24.2%” following this announcement. Sam Altman-backed nuclear startup Oklo gained 23.1%. The administration's new interest in the nuclear industry is spurred in part by increased demand for energy as, “power-hungry data centers dedicated to artificial intelligence and crypto miners plug into the grid.” The nuclear industry is also expected to retain many tax incentives stripped away from green energy initiatives in the so-called Big Beautiful Bill.3. In yet another instance of the Trump administration going soft on corporate greed, the Republican-controlled Federal Trade Commission has dismissed their case against PepsiCo. As the AP explains, “The lawsuit…alleged that PepsiCo was giving unfair price advantages to Walmart at the expense of other vendors and consumers,” citing the 1936 Robinson-Patman Act, which bans companies from “using promotional incentive payments to favor large customers over smaller ones.” Current FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson called the case a “dubious partisan stunt,” in a press release. Former Chair Lina Khan however, called the dismissal “disturbing,” and wrote, “This lawsuit would've protected families from paying higher prices at the grocery store and stopped conduct that squeezes small businesses and communities across America. Dismissing it is a gift to giant retailers as they gear up to hike prices.”4. Instead of utilizing the federal regulatory apparatus to protect consumers and the public, the Trump administration instead continues to weaponize these institutions to target progressive groups. According to Axios, the FTC is “investigating…Media Matters over claims that it and other media advocacy groups coordinated advertising boycotts of Elon Musk's X.” As this report notes, “X [formerly Twitter] sued Media Matters for defamation in 2023 for a report it publicly released that showed ads on X running next to pro-Nazi content. X claimed the report contributed to an advertiser exodus.” While it seems unlikely the social media platform could prevail in such a suit, the suit has effectively cowed the advertising industry, with the World Federation of Advertisers dismantling their Global Alliance for Responsible Media just months after the suit was filed. Media Matters president Angelo Carusone is quoted saying, “The Trump administration has been defined by naming right-wing media figures to key posts and abusing the power of the federal government to bully political opponents and silence critics…that's exactly what's happening here…These threats won't work; we remain steadfast to our mission.”5. On Thursday, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cotez endorsed State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani in his bid for Mayor of New York City, POLITICO reports. This endorsement came the morning after the first mayoral primary debate, a rollicking affair featuring nine candidates and including a testy exchange in which the moderators disregarded their own rules to press Mamdani to say whether he believed in “a Jewish state of Israel?” Mamdani responded that he believed Israel has a right to exist “as a state with equal rights.” This from the Times of Israel. In her endorsement, AOC wrote “Assemblymember Mamdani has demonstrated a real ability on the ground to put together a coalition of working-class New Yorkers that is strongest to lead the pack…In the final stretch of the race, we need to get very real about that.” Ocasio-Cortez said she would rank Adrienne Adams, Brad Lander, Scott Stringer and Zellnor Myrie in that order after Mamdani.6. Turning to Palestine itself, the Times of Israel reports notorious Biden State Department spokesman Matthew Miller admitted in an interview that, “It is without a doubt true that Israel has committed war crimes” in Gaza. While Miller stops short of accusing the Israeli government of pursuing “a policy of deliberately committing war crimes,” and repeats the tired canard that Hamas resisted ceasefire negotiations, he admits that the Biden administration “could have done [more] to pressure the Israeli government to agree to…[a] ceasefire.” Hopefully, Miller's admission will help crack the dam of silence and allow the truth to be told about this criminal military campaign.7. Even as Miller makes this admission, the merciless bombing of Palestinians continues. The Guardian reports “On Sunday, at least 31 Palestinians were killed after Israeli forces opened fire at the site of a food distribution centre in Rafah…On Monday, another three Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire at the same site…And on Tuesday, 27 people were killed after Israeli forces opened fire again, say Gaza officials.” This report continues, citing UN human rights chief, Volker Türk, who said on Tuesday that “Palestinians in Gaza now faced an impossible choice: ‘Die from starvation or risk being killed while trying to access the meagre food that is being made available.'” Türk added that by attacking civilians, Israel is committing yet more war crimes.8. Some high-profile activists are taking direct action to deliver food to Gaza. Democracy Now! reports 12 activists aboard The Madleen, part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, have departed from the Italian port of Catania. This group includes Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, actor Liam Cunningham, and Rima Hassan, a French member of the European Parliament. Despite the previous ship being targeted by a drone attack, Thunberg is quoted saying “We deem the risk of silence and the risk of inaction to be so much more deadly than this mission.” Threats to the flotilla continue to pour in. South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham tweeted, “Hope Greta and her friends can swim!” In Israel itself, IDF spokesman Brigadier General Effie Defrin ominously stated “we will act accordingly," per FOX News.9. In more foreign policy news, Gareth Gore – a Washington Post reporter and author of Opus, an exposé of the shadowy Opus Dei sect within the Catholic Church – reports Pope Leo has given Opus Dei six months to “pass comprehensive reforms” and has told the group that if significant changes are not made by December, “necessary measures will be taken.” Gore further reports that in addition to the reforms, “[Pope] Leo has also demanded an investigation into abuse allegations…[including] human trafficking, enslavement…[and] physical and psychological abuse of members.” According to Gore, the reforms were first ordered by Pope Francis in 2022, but “Opus Dei dragged its feet – in the hope the pope would pass away first.” Upon his death, Pope Francis had been on the, “cusp of signing into canon law a huge reform of Opus Dei.” The Vatican was also moving to force a vote on a revised Opus Dei constitution, which was, “quietly cancelled” within hours of Francis' death. Perhaps most tellingly, Gore reports “The Vatican has privately reassured Opus Dei victims who have long campaigned for justice that they ‘won't be disappointed'”10. Finally, a political earthquake has occurred in South Korea. Listeners may remember the failed coup attempt by right-wing former President Yoon Suk Yeol, which culminated in his ouster and could ultimately lead to a sentence of life in prison or even death. Now, the country has elected a new president, Lee Jae-myung, by a margin of 49.4% to 41.2%. Lee, who leads Korea's Democratic People's Party, has “endured a barrage of criminal indictments and an assassination attempt,” since losing the last presidential election by a margin of less than 1 per cent, per the Financial Times. Lee is a former factory worker who campaigned in a bulletproof vest after surviving being knifed in the neck last year. The FT notes “Lee…grew up in poverty and suffered [a] permanent injury at the age of 13 when his arm was crushed in a machine at the baseball glove factory where he worked…in 2022 [he] declared his ambition to be a ‘successful Bernie Sanders'.” That said, he has pivoted to the center in his recent political messaging. Beyond the impact of Lee's election on the future of Korean democracy, his tenure is sure to set a new tone in Korea's relations with their neighbors including the US, the DPRK, China and Japan.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

You've been praying for a husband for years…and nothing. You're faithful, you're doing your part, and yet the loneliness still stings. I came across a post that said, “Your singleness isn't a problem to fix – it's a space to flourish.” I loved it. But the comments underneath? Oof. They broke my heart. Today, we're talking about what might be really happening when it feels like God's ignoring your prayers – and how to shift your prayers and perspective so you can finally feel seen, loved and confident again. Grab that diet coke, put in your ear buds and let's talk friend to friend.
An artist is someone with creativity, inspiration, and a singular vision. Are those traits limited to “fine” mediums? Who decides who gets to be an artist? In this episode of Borderscapes, ‘Between Fiber and Art,' host Maria McCoy explores why weavers have been blocked out of the fine art world. Drawing a line between art and craft causes problems. For one, it slights women. Fiber practices, including weaving, knitting, and sewing, are not only categorized as craft, but as “women's work.” Dismissing them discounts passionate women makers, a few of whom you'll meet as a guest of the East Sussex Guild of Weavers, Spinners, and Dyers. Beyond that, a border between art and craft is just too limiting. Philip Sanderson, studio leader at West Dean Tapestry Studio, explains how tapestry weaving doesn't fit squarely in either category. So, can this border be dismantled? Listen in to find out!

Becoming an astronaut now or in the past was and remains a strict and demanding process. One needs 1,000 hours of pilot-in-command time in a jet aircraft, or two years of relevant professional training, along with a master's degree in STEM fields (not all degrees count), or a Ph.D. and test pilot training, etc. This is just to apply, not to mention 20/20 vision and meeting strict anthropometric requirements, before going through years of tough training. Astronauts are, in essence, the best of the best. And since American space work in particular got off the ground both men and women have made an impact in areas where others would simply not succeed. Therefore it is odd that Jeff Bezos is using his Blue Origin New Shepard rocket, actually shaped like a real penis, to shoot his girlfriend, Lauren Sánchez, and a crew of women into a suborbital flight for 15 minutes in the name of ‘women'. Sánchez, who is a trained pilot, will lead the crew, stating: “It's going to be women who are making a difference in the world and who are impactful and have a message to send.” But perhaps Bezos, Sánchez, and corporate media have forgotten about the countless pioneering women from all over the world who have already done what Blue Origin seeks to do as part of what could be just a PR stunt using women as the hook - Bezos, after all, did cheat on his ex-wife. For example, Kalpana Chawla, the first Indian astronaut, with two advanced engineering degrees and a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering, pioneered vertical take-off and landing concepts now being used by… SpaceX and Bezos' Blue Origin. Peggy Whitson holds the record for the most cumulative days in space period at 665. Christina Koch holds the record for the longest extended stay in space for a woman - 328 days. She also participated with Jessica Meir in the first all-female spacewalk. Kate Rubins was the first astronaut period to sequence DNA in space. Eileen Collins earned four degrees in STEM, economics and management while finding time to become a U.S. AF pilot, and eventually become the first woman ever to pilot a space shuttle. She also docked with the Russian space station and facilitated the deployment of the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The first African American woman in space, Mae Jemison, born in 1956 in Alabama went on to earn an engineering degree in her teens, and a doctorate shortly after, before becoming an astronaut and carrying out 44 science experiments in space. Nicole Mann become the first Native woman in space in 2022. Then there is the first American woman in space, Sally Ride, with a Ph.D. in physics and several NASA missions to her name. She also investigated the Challenger disaster and the Columbia crash. The first two women in space, however, were Russian, paving the way for all others: Valentina Tereshkova and Svetlana Savitskaya. Dismissing this inspiring history demeans and degrades and erases women from history.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Marking 10 years since the death of Cardinal Francis George, we speak with his biographer Michael Heinlein about his rich life and legacy, and how this ever so consequential archbishop almost never came to be. Dismissing "liberal Catholicism as an "exhaustive project," Heinlein reminds us of the late cardinal's take on "simply Catholicism." Msgr. Roger Landry also joins sharing his own tearful testimony witnessing Catholic life on a leper colony in Vetnam as the Pontifical Mission Society in the US brought not only essentials for those suffering but also Jesus alive in the Eucharist. He also helps us prepare for the rest of Holy Week and the Triduum, and the hope that we have as Easter approaches within this Jubilee of Hope.

Welcome back to a new episode of Operation Be: The Podcast. This show is all about how to STOP dismissing parts of self. Our confidence and belief systems are the ultimate drivers of how we move through our life and our ability to find real peace. There is a distinct difference in the language that we use with ourselves too. Understanding the difference between “BUT” vs. “AND” is a great place to start honoring self, while remaining true to what you're going through. Have you ever thought about how the word “but” limits our abilities, discounts our real experiences, and excludes parts of self? Real talk…I had to rewire my brain to change this habit, which was so worth it! Replacing it with “and” allowed me to learn to create intention, bridge multiple phases of my reality at once, and validate what I was feeling moment to moment. I hope you enjoy the show! *Mentioned in this show - Episode 8: Do vs. Be https://youtu.be/bG2tbzYve4I Email Me! me@jamiethurber.com Please like, comment, subscribe, and share this episode and tag us with @jamie.thurber on Instagram or Jamie Thurber on Facebook. #OperationBe Want to connect with me on social media? www.instagram.com/jamie.thurber www.facebook.com/jamiethurber.biz www.jamiethurber.com https://www.youtube.com/@JamieThurber If you're interested in getting the exclusive content I put out on the newsletter, sign up here: https://jamiethurber.com/newsletter Join my community and let's take this conversation even deeper!

YOU - The Master Entrepreneur - A Guide to True Greatness with Stan Hustad
Well I hope not but that might be a wise thing to consider. And I am sure that many others are doing just that. This is April 1 and I'm not fooling around about anything. I am discovering that we are going to be in for some real turbulence in life and business and perhaps we need to know how to handle things and take advantage of other things in this time of turbulence, transitions, and possible transformations, So please give me just 15 minutes to challenge your thinking and perhaps see if I can help you do some things that will make things better for you... Because I think I can. Now let me introduce you to what Stosh the radio robot had to say aout the program ... He is pretty smart so take some time to listen and to read.... Should my Jewish and Tesla-Driving Friends Start Carrying a Gun? By Stan the Radio Man This isn't a question I ever thought I'd ask out loud. But here we are. April Fool's Day isn't hitting the same this year. Maybe because the joke's on all of us. Or maybe because things have gotten so absurd, so twisted, that even asking “should my Jewish and Tesla-owning friends start carrying a gun?” doesn't feel like satire anymore. I'm not trying to be sensational. I'm trying to sort things out—just like I asked God in a recent prayer. Help me sort things out… and then sort me in. Show me where I belong in all this. Where we all belong. Because 2025 isn't just a year on the calendar—it's a turning point. A time of turbulence, yes. But also a time of transition, and if we're wise and brave, maybe even transformation. That's the tension we're living in. That's what today's “Interesting Ideas” is all about. The Underlying Fear Across campuses like Harvard and Columbia, reports are rolling in that Jewish students don't feel safe. We're seeing a rise in antisemitism, not whispered but shouted in the open. Vandalism of Tesla cars—just because they represent a certain class, or carry perceived political weight. And in the middle of it all are real people—your neighbors, your friends, your family—wondering, Am I next? It makes you wonder: what would you do to protect yourself, your family, your peace? One friend of mine—Jewish, peace-loving, and proud—told me recently, “I carry.” In Arizona, that's legal. Open carry, just like the Old West. He's got an ankle holster, ready if things go sideways. Not because he wants to use it. But because he doesn't want to be caught unprepared. The painful part is—this isn't just paranoia. It's remembering history. Echoes from Amsterdam Years ago, when I lived in Amsterdam, I often took visitors to the Anne Frank House. There was a quiet protest once by a Jewish group—not anti-Anne Frank, not anti-anything really. Just a plea: Let's not let it happen again. They pointed out something I'd never fully grasped: What if someone had been ready when the Gestapo came? What if resistance started sooner? Would it have changed anything? Some argue yes. The Warsaw Ghetto uprising, for instance, proved that resistance can exact a cost—even when ultimately crushed. It was a declaration: We will not go quietly. But is that where we are now? Back at the edge of the abyss? Tesla, Symbols, and Targets Teslas have become more than just electric cars. For some, they symbolize progress. For others, elitism. Either way, they've become targets—scratched, keyed, smashed. A strange sort of backlash. When objects become symbols, and people get targeted for owning them, we're in dangerous territory. When identities—Jewish, tech-forward, urban, progressive, whatever—are turned into excuses for violence, we all lose. So the question I asked—about Jews and Tesla drivers carrying weapons—isn't just about guns. It's about fear. And choice. And where we go from here. The Drip Effect I've got a little background behind me when I broadcast, a reminder of what I call the “drip effect.” Sometimes it's the little things, drop by drop, that wear us down. But it can also be the small efforts, one at a time, that make things better. It's not all doom and gloom. I believe in the drip of kindness, of community, of resilience. That's the part we can't lose. Takeaways to Consider Fear is real. Dismissing it doesn't help. Neither does giving in to it. History teaches—but we must listen. “Never again” means vigilance, not silence. Symbols matter. Cars, identities, beliefs—these can inspire or inflame. Be mindful. Protection is personal. The right to defend oneself is real, but so is the cost of living on edge. Connection is key. Talk to your neighbors. Know their stories. Build the kind of world where guns aren't necessary. Moving Forward, Together These are turbulent times. Like that bumpy flight from Minneapolis to Phoenix—seatbelts fastened the whole way—we're riding through unknown skies. But turbulence doesn't mean the plane will crash. It just means we need to hold on, be aware, and trust each other a little more. So here's the encouragement I leave you with: Choose to be one of the good drips. Be the one who checks on a friend. Who speaks up when something's not right. Who listens deeply to the fear and the frustration—and then does something helpful, not harmful, in response. We don't all need to carry weapons. But we do need to carry each other. Reach out to me. Share your story. Tell me what you're seeing, what you're feeling, what ideas you have for helping people through this. I'm at stan@witradio.net, and I mean it when I say—I want to hear from you. Till next time, I'm Stan the Radio Man Still believing in Interesting Ideas Still believing in you
In the case of Jane Doe v. Sean Combs et al. (Civ. No. 1:24-cv-08054-MKV), Defendant Marriott International, Inc. has submitted a reply memorandum in further support of its motion to dismiss the complaint. Marriott argues that the plaintiff's allegations fail to establish a legal basis for holding the company liable for the alleged actions of the co-defendants. They contend that the complaint lacks specific factual assertions linking Marriott to any wrongful conduct and that mere association with other defendants does not suffice to state a claim.Furthermore, Marriott emphasizes that the plaintiff's claims against it are speculative and unsupported by concrete evidence. The company asserts that the complaint does not demonstrate how Marriott had any control over or direct involvement in the alleged incidents. As a result, Marriott requests that the court dismiss the claims against it, arguing that allowing the case to proceed without substantive allegations would set a concerning precedent for corporate liability based on tenuous connections.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Microsoft Word - Reply ISO MTD (Marriott _ McCrary)(1618681774.5).docx
Para muchos, cuando viene el día de juicio, estarán en un pavor. Pero nosotros llegaremos a aquel día con confianza.
Many people with Hashimoto's have experienced it—the frustration of knowing something is wrong but being repeatedly dismissed by doctors. This week, Inna welcomes Dr. Efrat Lamandre (Dr. E) to uncover why so many thyroid patients struggle to get answers and how medical gaslighting keeps them stuck in a cycle of misdiagnosis and neglect.Dr. E, a best-selling author and expert in patient advocacy, explains why conventional medicine often overlooks key thyroid issues. She shares how doctors are trained to rely on a limited set of tools, without digging deeper. When those tests come back “normal,” patients are told their symptoms aren't real or that their fatigue, weight gain, and brain fog must be due to stress or aging. But the reality? Hashimoto's and thyroid dysfunction go far beyond TSH, and without the right tests, people can go undiagnosed for years.Inna and Dr. E dive into the most common signs of medical gaslighting and why it happens, from unnecessary weight loss advice to outright dismissal of symptoms. They also reveal why conventional providers often refuse to run crucial tests. Heather's story, a real-life case from Inna's Thyroid Mystery Solved program illustrates how damaging this dismissal can be and why proper testing and advocacy make all the difference.Beyond lab tests, Dr. E emphasizes an often-overlooked key to healing: nervous system regulation. Before addressing diet, supplements, or detox, the body needs to feel safe, something many Hashimoto's patients don't even realize is missing. She shares simple yet powerful ways to support the nervous system that anyone can do right away.If you've ever felt dismissed by your doctor or wondered why your symptoms aren't taken seriously, this episode will open your eyes to the truth about thyroid care—and, more importantly, empower you with the knowledge to take control of your health.See full show here:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/doctors-dismissing-hashimotos-symptoms-medical-gaslighting/For more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto's, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you don't yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna's next free training at InnaTopiler.com/training
Can we talk about women masking at work? I spend a lot of time in conversation with women who are the only woman or one of very few women in the room at work. There is a fatigue and malaise that comes from being in this position long term - even if you enjoy and respect many of the men you're sitting beside. When a person is notably different from the majority of the people around them, they mask themselves to fit in, be taken seriously, gain a competitive advantage, and maintain safety. Here are some of the ways many women routinely mask in male-dominated workplaces: Altering vocal pitch and language Modifying speech patterns to avoid feminine speech markers and amplify masculine ones Dressing to look “good” but also professional, well kept, not too showy, not too sharp Having hair and makeup done in a way that suits the room vs suiting comfort Suppressing natural emotional reactions Avoiding vulnerability Maintaining a calm and demure demeanor no matter how heated others are getting Controlling facial expressions Laughing at jokes even if uncomfortable Participating in meaningless conversations (sports, tech, male-dominated hobbies) Dismissing or hiding personal interests and hobbies Avoiding or downplaying family situations Positioning self as “one of the guys” Avoiding asking questions or seeking help Many women are so conditioned to masking that they don't know they are doing it until they are in an environment where they no longer have to do it. One of the reasons I have built so many group coaching programs for women over the last decade is because of how deeply impactful it is when women come together and drop their masks. In these containers, deep growth and transformation transpire. No facades. No faking it. Only full transparency. All you. All out. THIS is the key to your future as a woman leader. In this episode, I talk through what masking looks like, what masking is costing you, and how you can start to drop your mask to show up more fully as you. All you.

NPR CEO Katherine Maher came for a 15-minute interview at a Semafor summit on "trust in media," but it was a softball session. Instead of being pressed on NPR's liberal tilt, Semafor reporter Maxwell Tani was incredibly vague: "What have you done in your first year to build or restore trust in NPR?" I was in the room, and suppressed the desire to yell about the answer (and the question).
Sixteen years ago, CNBC commentator Rick Santelli stood on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and delivered an impassioned rant against federal plans to bail out struggling homeowners. “Do we really want to subsidize the losers' mortgages?” he shouted, calling for a “Chicago Tea Party” to protest government intervention.That moment became the rallying cry for a movement that would reshape conservative politics, define opposition to the Obama presidency, and eventually evolve into the MAGA movement that has since won the White House twice.Lately, the Tea Party has been on my mind because of the way political movements are often dismissed by their opponents. In liberal circles, one word was frequently used to wave off the Tea Party: astroturf.“This isn't a grassroots movement,” critics insisted. “It's funded by billionaires to look like a populist uprising.” After all, it started on CNBC—hardly a blue-collar favorite.But that's not the whole story. And now, in 2024, astroturfing accusations are being hurled in the opposite direction.Last week, Republican Rep. Rich McCormick of Georgia faced a hostile crowd at a town hall in Roswell. The moment (captured in a widely circulated video) showed Democrats in his district voicing their frustration, pushing back forcefully against GOP policies.In response, conservatives dismissed the backlash as manufactured outrage, a coordinated effort by the so-called “deep state” to rattle the Republican establishment.Sound familiar?To understand whether today's Democratic anger is real or manufactured, it's worth looking back at how the Tea Party took shape.While Santelli's on-air rant is widely credited with sparking the Tea Party, grassroots opposition to Obama's policies had already begun. Keli Carender, a blogger in Seattle, organized an anti-stimulus protest even before Santelli's speech. Her February 2009 demonstration—dubbed the “Porkulus Protest”—drew about 100 people.But once Santelli's rant went viral, Tea Party protests exploded across the country. Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter helped coordinate events, and by April's Tax Day, an estimated quarter-million people took to the streets in organized demonstrations. Conservative media played a crucial role in amplifying the movement. Fox News hosts like Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity championed Tea Party causes, helping grow its ranks. Soon, prominent Republican figures lent their support, though the movement remained largely decentralized.By the summer of 2009, as Obamacare made its way through Congress, Tea Party activists shifted their strategy. Instead of street protests, they flooded town halls, confronting Democratic lawmakers with fiery opposition. Videos of these clashes—angry constituents challenging their representatives—became a defining image of the movement.And electorally, the Tea Party had teeth. While it failed to topple the Republican establishment entirely (Mitt Romney still won the 2012 nomination), it helped flip House seats and push the GOP further to the right.What does the Tea Party teach us about today's Democratic opposition?* It's never too early to be angry. Santelli's rant came barely a month after Obama took office. Right now, Trump's disapproval ratings are rising, but Democrats haven't yet rallied around a singular issue.* Movements can make an impact—especially in the House. The Tea Party didn't need to control the White House to change the political landscape. A handful of flipped seats can shift the balance of power.* Dismissing protests as ‘astroturf' is risky. If the same kind of town hall showdowns seen in McCormick's district begin happening elsewhere, they could turn into a trend.The Tea Party was fueled by a raw, pent-up anger over fiscal conservatism. Many conservatives felt betrayed by their own party—George W. Bush had campaigned on balanced budgets, only to expand deficits through wars and bailouts. Obama's presidency, with its ambitious government programs, only amplified those frustrations.The question for Democrats now is: What's their version of that anger?If it's simply opposition to Trump, that's not enough. Even figures like Elon Musk—despised by many progressives—aren't sustainable political villains. “Musk sent another email” isn't a battle cry that will mobilize voters in the long run.That's why Democratic strategists should be tickled by what just happened in the House. They (impressively) passed a budget that, while avoiding direct mention of Medicaid, includes $880 billion in cuts overseen by the Energy and Commerce Committee—which just happens to control Medicaid.Why the cuts? Because fiscal hawks in the House need a way to offset the Trump tax cuts.For Democrats, that's a classic, politically potent message: Republicans are cutting your Medicaid to give tax cuts to the rich.If they can harness that into a movement—one that gets people angry enough to show up at town halls, knock on doors, and vote—then history might just be repeating itself.Podcast Chapters & Timecodes* 00:00:00 – Introduction* 00:01:58 – The Tea Party's Legacy and Lessons for Democrats* 00:14:55 – Dan Bongino Becomes FBI's Second-in-Command* 00:19:15 – MSNBC's Prime-Time Shake-Up & Network Struggles* 00:22:58 – NYC Mayor Eric Adams' Re-Election Challenges* 00:26:27 – Interview with Brian Sack on Ukraine & DEI Policies* 01:05:28 – Wrap-Up This is a public episode.

In Case No. 1:24-cv-07778-JLR, the Combs defendants have filed a Memorandum of Law supporting their Motion to Dismiss the complaint brought against them. The defense argues that the plaintiff's allegations are legally insufficient, lacking the necessary factual specificity to substantiate claims of misconduct. They contend that the complaint relies heavily on conclusory statements and unsubstantiated assertions, failing to meet the required pleading standards. Furthermore, the defendants assert that certain claims are time-barred due to the expiration of the statute of limitations, rendering them ineligible for legal action.Additionally, the memorandum challenges the applicability of specific statutes cited in the complaint, arguing that the plaintiff has misinterpreted or misapplied these laws in an attempt to support their claims. The defense emphasizes that the plaintiff has not demonstrated a direct causal link between the defendants' actions and any alleged harm suffered. They also highlight procedural deficiencies, such as the failure to properly serve all parties involved, which they claim undermines the court's jurisdiction over the matter. In light of these arguments, the Combs defendants request that the court dismiss the complaint in its entirety, asserting that it fails to establish a viable legal basis for proceeding.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.629911.49.0.pdf

The resistance and opposition from within Donald Trump's Department of Justice is building. Rather than comply with an unethical directive from DOJ leadership, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Danielle Sassoon, resigned. Emil Bove, a member of Trump's team at the DOJ, directed the acting US Attorney in Manhattan, Danielle Sassoon, to dismiss the case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, not based on the evidence but because they wanted Adams to help the Trump administration with some of it's goals and priorities. But rather than agree to dismiss the case for political reasons, US Attorney Sassoon chose to resigned. Trump's DOJ officials then tried to move supervision of the Adams case down to Washington D.C., and following that - the top two supervisors in the DOJ's Public Integrity Section resigned as well. In a staggering display of retaliation, Bove, one of Trump's former criminal defense attorneys now a top DOJ official, told Ms. Sassoon that both she and the prosecutors who worked on the Adams case would be investigated by the DOJ. Just days earlier, when he was first directing Sassoon to dismiss the case, "Mr. Bove in his order to drop the case said that the directive 'in no way calls into question the integrity and efforts' of the prosecutors working on the case, nor Ms. Sassoon's efforts in leading them".If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In his further reply supporting the motion to dismiss Jane Roe's lawsuit, Garth Brooks contended that Roe's allegations were not only baseless but also strategically filed in California to circumvent ongoing legal proceedings in Mississippi. Brooks emphasized that he had initiated a defamation lawsuit against Roe in Mississippi prior to her California filing, accusing her of attempting to extort him with false claims. He argued that Roe's lawsuit was a retaliatory action designed to undermine his preemptive legal measures and to exploit California's legal system.Brooks' legal team asserted that the California court should dismiss Roe's lawsuit to prevent duplicative litigation and potential conflicting judgments between the two states. They maintained that the Mississippi court was the appropriate venue to adjudicate the disputes between the parties, given the pre-existing lawsuit and the substantial overlap in the issues presented. Despite these arguments, the California court denied Brooks' motion to dismiss without prejudice, opting to stay the proceedings pending the outcome of the Mississippi case.In December 2024, U.S. District Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald denied Garth Brooks' motion to dismiss a sexual assault lawsuit filed against him by a former makeup artist, identified as Jane Roe. Brooks had sought dismissal on the grounds that a related defamation lawsuit he filed in Mississippi should take precedence. However, Judge Fitzgerald ruled that the California case would be stayed pending the outcome of the Mississippi proceedings, emphasizing that dismissal at this stage was inappropriate.The judge's decision underscores the complexity of concurrent legal actions in different jurisdictions. By staying the California proceedings, the court aims to prevent conflicting judgments and ensure a fair adjudication of the intertwined issues. Brooks is required to inform the California court of any developments in the Mississippi case within ten court days, highlighting the ongoing nature of this legal matter.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.cacd.946930.28.0.pdfsource:gov.uscourts.cacd.946930.25.0.pdf
