Recent battlefield experience suggests that a new military capability may not stay effective for as long as defense planners once assumed. As adversaries adapt more quickly, pressure is growing to shorten the cycle between development, production, and upgrades. For one industry perspective on what that could mean for defense procurement, Federal News Network's Eric White spoke with Chad Steelberg, CEO and Founder of Tiberius Aerospace.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Federal agencies work hard to secure their online presence, but some website compromises are being uncovered through an unlikely source. Federal News Network's Eric White spoke with Greg Pollock, director of research and insights at UpGuard, about what those discoveries reveal about the challenge of keeping track of sprawling government web infrastructure.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Artificial intelligence has been part of the cybersecurity conversation for years. But a new report suggests AI may be moving beyond helping attackers and beginning to perform meaningful portions of cyber operations itself. That has implications for how quickly agencies must detect, patch and respond to threats. Federal News Network's Eric White spoke with Glen Deskin, Head of Engineering at Check Point Software Technologies.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Supply-chain discussions usually focus on advanced technologies. Retired Brigadier General John Teichert says policymakers should pay more attention to a far more basic input: cement. He argues that growing reliance on imports could create risks for military and critical infrastructure projects. He spoke with Federal News Network's Eric White.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Modern warfare puts a premium on speed. A new report argues that when the Pentagon can move quickly from identifying a need to fielding a solution, it can have a direct impact on military effectiveness. For more details, Federal News Network's Eric White spoke with Stephanie Halcrow, senior fellow at George Mason University's Center for Government Contracting.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Satellites support everything from communications to navigation, making them an increasingly important part of national infrastructure. But protecting those systems depends on being able to identify suspicious activity before it becomes a larger problem. For a look at DHS research in this area, Federal News Network's Eric White discussed these efforts with Ernest Wong, technical lead at the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Every year, the federal government spends billions supporting research at universities across the country. That investment helps drive scientific advances, but it also depends on a complex system of funding decisions, academic institutions and researchers. For a closer look at how that system works, Federal News Network's Eric White spoke with Darren Lipomi, professor of chemical engineering at the University of Rochester and author of a new book, "Science Nonfiction: Behind the Scenes in University Research."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hiring someone is only the beginning of the government's relationship with an employee. A newly finalized OPM rule expands the agency's authority to pursue suitability actions for certain misconduct that occurs after hiring, raising new questions about accountability and workforce management. Federal News Network's Eric White spoke with Michael Fallings, Managing Partner at Tully Rinckey, to find out more about what is changing.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For years, rankings of state dependence on federal spending have focused largely on government transfers. A new study from the Pioneer Institute takes a broader view, incorporating everything from Social Security and Medicare to defense spending, military payrolls and disaster assistance. The results challenge some conventional assumptions, placing Maryland and Virginia among the states most dependent on federal dollars. To learn more, Federal News Network's Eric White spoke with Liam Day of the Pioneer Institute.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tax season is underway, but the agency at the center of it is dealing with a shrinking workforce and the loss of tools meant to make filing easier. Those gaps are raising worries about whether the IRS can keep up, especially when it comes to customer service. For more, Federal News Network's Eric White spoke with former Treasury Department Deputy Chief of Staff Julie Siegel.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It will hopefully never happen to you, but what if you're taken hostage and therefore unable to file a tax return? It's probably one of the last things on your mind during a traumatic experience, so the IRS does have a plan in place to make sure a victim doesn't face any unfair consequences from their ordeal. The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration recently took a look at those protocols. To learn what they found, Federal News Network's Eric White spoke to one of the auditors who conducted the review at TIGTA, John Da Cruz.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Three years after a freight train carrying hazardous chemicals derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, residents are still worried about the health risks from the controlled burns that sent toxins into the air. Now, the National Institutes of Health has set up a new research office on the ground to monitor those impacts. Federal News Network's Eric White spoke with the person running that effort, Dr. Ashlinn Quinn, to find out how it's going.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Civilian Board of Contract Appeals has issued new procedural rules to implement the Administrative False Claims Act, a revamped law that gives federal agencies greater ability to pursue smaller fraud cases involving government contracts. The changes could expand enforcement tools and raise new compliance considerations for contractors doing business with the federal government. To help unpack what the new rules mean and how companies should prepare, Federal News Network's Eric White spoke with Dan Ramish, Counsel at Haynes Boone.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

With the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau less active and running with fewer resources, many states no longer get the data they need to finish their own consumer protection cases. A new multistate lawsuit aims to restore the bureau's full funding. We wanted to understand what that means for states like Maryland, so Federal News Network's Eric White spoke with Bill Meeks, Director of the Lending and Finance Unit in the Consumer Protection Division for Maryland's Attorney General.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The president has proposed a historic $1.5 trillion defense budget for fiscal year 2027. But with the possibility of divided government after the midterms and the risk of another yearlong continuing resolution, that funding boost could stall before it ever reaches the Pentagon. There may be another route for the White House to go though, the budget reconciliation process. To find out how that could work, Federal News Network' Eric White spoke with John Ferrari, non-resident scholar with the American Enterprise Institute.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A remnant of DOGE is about to get a new life under the Trump administration. OPM plans to issue its first TechForce job offers this week, as the agency wraps up reviews for software engineers and data scientists who would serve two‑ to four‑year tours on modernization projects. To find out how this effort will work — and how it differs from past attempts to bring more technologists into government —Federal News Network's Eric White spoke with Lauren Chambers, a Ph.D candidate at the UC Berkeley School of Information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Stories From the Road, Lessons From the Grind | Drag Drive Repeat Show EP 131 presented by Summit Racing – Featuring Ry KlempIntroduction: The Stories That Define a CommunityEpisode 131 of the Drag Drive Repeat Show presented by Summit Racing opened with a familiar tone. Calm. Direct. Warm in the way only drag-and-drive people can be warm, even while they joke about broken parts, sleepless nights, and gas-station parking lot repairs.This episode wasn't about big announcements or season-ending drama. It was about people. People doing their best under tough conditions. People helping each other when things break. People finishing what they started even when it hurts.Mike Narx and Eric White welcomed Ry Klemp, the racer whose name became synonymous with the “Best Story of the Year” award. His willingness to talk about failure, pain, brotherhood, and the real side of drag-and-drive shaped the soul of the episode.And for the next two hours, the show unfolded into an honest set of stories about struggle, hope, weird failures, victories that don't show on a timeslip, and the kind of road-family moments that keep racers coming back.

Epic Roads, Hard Miles, and a Wild West Finish | Drag Drive Repeat Show EP 130 presented by Summit Racing – Wild West Drag & DashDrag Drive Repeat Show EP 130 opened with a tone that felt both reflective and energized. This wasn't just another show — it was the bridge between the year's last major events and the coming wave of off-season rebuilds, PRI announcements, winter thrashes, and 2026's new drag-and-drive era.Mike Narx and Eric White carried the same lighthearted banter they always do, but the sense of pride was unmistakable. Between the Wild West Drag & Dash finale, Sick Summer photos dropping, and PRI prep hitting a sprint, you could tell the team was running full throttle while still enjoying every minute.“Race car friends, this is Episode 130 — how did we even get here?” Mike laughed early on. “It's been the longest year and the shortest year at the same time.”EP 130 delivered a hard-hitting mix of gratitude, year-end perspective, technical celebration, sponsor spotlights, and a full Wild West Drag & Dash recap — a send-off worthy of one of the tightest and most emotionally charged events of 2025.What followed was two hours of storytelling, racer recognition, behind-the-scenes insight, and one final reminder of why drag-and-drive continues to grow: people, passion, and a willingness to test themselves against the road.

Big Builds, Bigger Ideas | Drag Drive Repeat Show EP 128 presented by Summit Racing – Featuring Devin VanderhoofEpisode 128 of the Drag Drive Repeat Show presented by Summit Racing hit the throttle hard, mixing major updates, huge event announcements, and in-depth technical talk with one of the most respected minds in modern drag-and-drive performance — Devin Vanderhoof of HCR Innovations.From The Short Circuit to Sick Summer — The Builds That Move the WorldWith the Short Circuit just two days away and SEMA buzzing in the background, hosts Mike Narx and Eric White brought fans two hours of deep-dive conversation spanning everything from the S550 Mustang build to Goldstone's Corvette and Javelin, plus a sneak peek at Cleetus' “Mullet” setup and Motion's “Pumpkin Spice” Mustang.

One of the first major cuts from the Department of Government Efficiency hit the U.S. Agency for International Development.

On the other side though are the servicemembers themselves, many of whom rely solely on that paycheck to get through their daily lives. To get some insight on the impact this particular shutdown is having on today's military, Federal News Network's Eric White spoke with Jim Whaley, CEO of the nonprofit Mission Roll Call, and a 20 year Army veteran himself.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's no secret that the Trump administration wants to have more control of who federal agencies hire and fire. A new proposed rule from the Office of Personnel Management would provide it a new tool to do so, allowing it to examine the suitability and fitness of an employee any time, not just during the hiring process, as it is currently used. As you can imagine, there are some against the idea. One of them is Joe Spielberger, policy counsel for the Project on Government Oversight. He recently spoke to Federal News Network's Eric White to lay out the organization's argument against the proposal.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
