In a sweeping announcement about a forthcoming executive order, President Donald Trump argued Monday that states are ultimately subservient to the White House when it comes to setting election policy. Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform that states are “merely an agent for the federal government in counting and tabulating the votes. They must do what the federal government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them, FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY, to do.” Trump also claimed the executive order would end mail-in voting, falsely claiming that other countries stopped the practice due to fraud, as well as “very expensive and SERIOUSLY CONTROVERSIAL voting machines.” It's not clear which voting machines Trump was referencing. The president's allies and friendly media outlets like Fox News and NewsMax were successfully sued by Smartmatic and Dominion for billions of dollars after the 2020 election for falsely claiming that their voting machines were rigged to elect Democratic President Joe Biden. Either way, Trump has lost dozens of lawsuits attempting to prove fraud, and reportedly nearly signed an executive order at the end of his last term ordering the Department of Defense to seize voting machines, purportedly to examine them for fraud. A previous executive order from Trump this year, purporting to compel the bipartisan Election Assistance Commission to alter voter registration request forms to include a proof of citizenship section and deny forms to states or voters who don't provide the information, was struck down by a judge as unconstitutional in April. The judge in the ruling remarked that “no statutory delegation of authority to the Executive Branch permits the President to short-circuit Congress's deliberative process” on regulating elections via executive order. A federal watchdog is urging the Office of Management and Budget to prioritize the governmentwide adoption of a federal IT spending framework, or end the efforts, after finding the multi-year initiative has stalled. In a report made public Monday, the Government Accountability Office recommended that the OMB director direct the federal chief information officer to either terminate the agency's push for governmentwide adoption of the Technology Business Management framework or deem it an administration priority. Should it be made a priority, the GAO also suggested OMB quickly implement the watchdog's previous recommendations and take “immediate action” to integrate the framework across government fully.

Visit altassetsummit.com to learn how to invest in Alternative Assets.(More links down below.) In this episode of the Directed IRA Podcast, Mark Kohler and Mat Sorensen break down a groundbreaking new executive order from President Donald Trump that could reshape the future of 401(k) investing—by opening the door to alternative assets.For decades, Wall Street and Washington have kept most retirement savers locked into a narrow menu of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and ETFs. This executive order flips the script, setting a national policy that every American preparing for retirement should have the option to invest in alternatives—just like the wealthiest institutions do.Mat and Mark explain what “alternative assets” really mean in this context, from real estate and crypto to private equity, commodities, and infrastructure investments. They walk through the specific investments cited in the order, why these options have been off-limits for most 401(k) participants, and how this policy could shift the $8 trillion 401(k) industry toward more choice and freedom for everyday investors.They also unpack the political dynamics, regulatory hurdles, and 180-day timeline for the Department of Labor and SEC to develop new guidance—while emphasizing what you can do right now. If you have an IRA or old 401(k), you can already invest in alternatives today using a self-directed account, bypassing the “check-the-box” limitations of traditional plans.Whether you're a corporate employee stuck with cookie-cutter 401(k) options or a self-directed investor ready to take the reins, this episode will help you understand the stakes, the timeline, and the opportunities in this unprecedented policy shift.Chapters:00:08 - Trump's Executive Order on Alternative Assets02:19 - Defining Alternative Assets02:30 - Learn How to Invest in Alternative Assets(https://altassetsummit.com/)02:48 - List of Alternative Assets - From Trump04:19 - How the Executive Order Could Impact You05:20 - Timeline and Political Landscape09:07 - The Power of Self-Directed Investing12:02 - IRAs: Invest in Alternatives Today14:03- Directed IRA Homepage: https://directedira.com/ Directed IRA Explore (Linktree): https://linktr.ee/SelfDirectedIRA Book a Call: https://directedira.com/appointment/ Other:Mat Sorensen: https://matsorensen.com & https://linktr.ee/MatSorensen KKOS: https://kkoslawyers.comMain Street Business https://mainstreetbusiness.com
In this episode, John Byrne and Elliot Berman unpack a series of significant developments in banking, compliance, and enforcement. They begin with the White House's new executive order on “Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans,” which aims to prevent what some call “debanking.” While positioned as a fairness measure, John and Elliot warn that it could weaken banks' ability to make independent, risk-based decisions, potentially increasing white-collar crime exposure. They note concerns over the subjective nature of risk scoring and parallels to the 2008–2010 financial crisis. Next, they spotlight the IRS-CI “CI-FIRST” program, a collaborative effort between financial institutions and the IRS's Criminal Investigation division to improve information sharing and streamline financial record requests. The recent CI-FIRST Executive Forum in Washington is seen as a model for effective public-private partnerships in combating financial crime. The discussion then turns to enforcement actions: Paxos Trust Company will pay $26.5 million to New York regulators for failing to properly vet Binance and for systemic AML program weaknesses, alongside a $22 million investment in compliance upgrades. The DOJ issued its first corporate FCPA action since resuming enforcement, with Liberty Mutual paying $4.7 million to resolve bribery allegations involving Indian state-owned banks. Do Kwon, co-founder of Terraform Labs, pled guilty to wire fraud and conspiracy, tied to the $40 billion collapse of Terra USD and Luna, with a $19 million penalty and possible 12-year sentence. They also cover a Senate minority report critical of the administration's approach to Russian sanctions, arguing it undermines Ukraine's leverage and lacks consistent enforcement. The FACT Coalition emphasizes the need for tools like the Corporate Transparency Act to bolster sanctions' effectiveness. On the policy front, they discuss delays and staffing cuts affecting the State Department's annual human rights report and the pending trafficking in persons report—both key references for global human rights and anti-trafficking efforts.
On this episode of Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast, Dan Lust (@SportsLawLust) is joined by Tarun Sharma (@tksharmalaw), Mike Kravchenko (Watch on YouTube) and special guest, Don Van Natta Jr. (@DVNJr) to break down major stories including Jon Gruden's massive legal victory, Shohei Ohtani's involvement in a $240M real estate dispute, and Trump's executive order on college sports.Dan and the team first tackle Trump's "Saving College Sports" executive order, explaining what's actually in it versus the headlines. They cover the requirements for athletic departments based on revenue thresholds, the prohibition on third-party pay-for-play, and clarification that student-athletes aren't employees. Mike provides coverage of the shocking $240M real estate lawsuit involving Shohei Ohtani and his agent, centered on a luxury Hawaiian development deal. The case alleges tortious interference and unjust enrichment, with Ohtani potentially liable for his agent's actions despite being removed from direct negotiations. Dan connects this to the previous gambling controversy, suggesting this case could reveal more about Ohtani's actual involvement in business dealings than previously known.The episode also covers Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer's gambling controversy involving Venmo transactions labeled "sports gambling," examining why even jokes about NCAA violations can trigger investigations and the broader implications for student-athlete social media use.The Centerpiece: Don Van Natta Jr. joins for a discussion of the Nevada Supreme Court's 5-2 decision allowing Jon Gruden's case against Roger Goodell and the NFL to proceed in open court rather than arbitration. Don explains how this stems from the Dan Snyder investigation, the 650,000 emails obtained by Beth Wilkinson, and why only Gruden's 11 emails were leaked. The conversation explores the unconscionability ruling that could destroy the NFL's arbitration system, the potential for massive discovery including all those emails, and why Gruden has said he'll "burn the house down" to get the truth. and finally, what to watch for: Tarun previews the long-awaited NCAA decision on Michigan's sign-stealing scandal, while Mike provides Conduct Detrimental updates and recommends WWE Unreal on Netflix. Dan enthusiastically reviews the Chiefsaholic documentary, offering a cautionary tale about lawyers appearing in documentaries.Let us know your thoughts!***Have a topic you want to write about?

On August 7, President Trump issued a much-anticipatedexecutive order, directing the Labor Department to (re)consider barriers to defined contribution plans accessing alternative investments. Nevin & Fred check it out – and theimplications.More specifically, an executive order directed the Secretary of Labor to, among other things, “reexamine the Department of Labor's guidance on a fiduciary's duties regardingalternative asset investments in ERISA-governed 401(k) and other defined-contribution plans” – a stance widely seen as encouraging the consideration of alternative assets in defined contribution plans, including 401(k)s and 403(b)s.The EO states as “the policy of the United States that everyAmerican preparing for retirement should have access to funds that include investments in alternative assets…”That policy is, however, conditioned to situations “when therelevant plan fiduciary determines that such access provides an appropriate opportunity for plan participants and beneficiaries to enhance the net risk-adjusted returns on their retirement assets.” While the Executive Order doesn't immediately changeanything, it sets in motion the possibility of a less restrictive regulatory view on so-called, “alternative” assets, including private markets, real estate, digital assets, and lifetime income.The Executive Order calls out “burdensome lawsuits that seek to challenge reasonable decisions by loyal, regulated fiduciaries,” as well as “stifling Department of Labor guidance” that is says has “denied millions of Americans opportunities to benefit from investment in alternative assets.”Episode ResourcesBreakingNews: Trump Signs EO to Advance Private Market Investments in 401(k)sLifetimeIncome Also Cited in Private Markets Executive OrderTalkingPoints: Pandora's BoxThingsI Worry About (12): Private Funds and 401(k) Plans - Fred ReishDOLPulls Guidance Cautioning Fiduciaries About Private Equity in 401(k)s
In this episode of Friday Fiduciary Five, Eric Dyson talks about the August 2025 Executive Order by President Trump on alternative investments in 401(k) plans. He references his article in 401(k) Specialist Magazine, Private Equity in 401(k) Plans: Policy Shift or Practical Reality? and the 90 North newsletter - Private Equity in 401(k) Plans: What Fiduciaries Must Know.The order does not mandate private equity inclusion but allows plan sponsors to consider it. Eric emphasizes the need for plan sponsors to revisit their investment policies, consult advisors, and prepare participant communications. He highlights the importance of daily valuation and liquidity in 401(k) plans and advises a wait-and-see approach. Eric also references 2013 DOL guidance on target date funds, stressing understanding fund investments and strategies to include awareness and understanding of underlying investments in TDFs.Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: contact@90northllc.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ The information contained herein is general in nature and is provided solely for educational and informational purposes.It is not intended to provide a specific recommendation of any type of product or service discussed in this presentation or to provide any warranties, financial advice, or legal advice.The specific facts and circumstances of all qualified plans can vary, and the information contained in this podcast may or may not apply to your individual circumstances or to your plan or client plan's specific circumstances.
In an era where organizations depend heavily on commercial applications to run their operations, the integrity of those applications has become a top security concern. Saša Zdjelar, Chief Trust Officer at ReversingLabs and Operating Partner at Crosspoint Capital, shares how protecting the software supply chain now extends far beyond open source risk.Zdjelar outlines how modern applications are built from a mix of first-party, contracted, open source, and proprietary third-party components. By the time software reaches production, its lineage spans geographies, development teams, and sometimes even AI-generated code. Incidents like SolarWinds, Kaseya, and CircleCI demonstrate that trusted vendors are no longer immune to compromise, and commercial software can introduce critical vulnerabilities or malicious payloads deep into enterprise systems.Regulatory drivers are increasing scrutiny. Executive Order 14028, Europe's Cyber Resilience Act, DORA, and U.S. Department of Defense software sourcing restrictions all require greater transparency, such as a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM). However, Zdjelar cautions that SBOMs—while valuable—are like ingredient lists without recipes: they don't reveal if a product is secure, just what's in it.ReversingLabs addresses this gap with a no-compromise analysis engine capable of deconstructing any file, of any size or complexity, to assess its safety. This capability enables organizations to make risk-based decisions, continuously monitor for unexpected changes between software versions, and operationalize controls at points such as procurement, SCCM deployments, or file transfers into critical environments.For CISOs, this represents a true technical control where previously only contractual clauses, questionnaires, or insurance policies existed. By placing analysis at the front of the software lifecycle, organizations can reduce reliance on costly manual testing and sandboxing, improve detection of tampering or hidden behavior, and even influence cyber insurance rates.The takeaway is clear: software supply chain security is a board-level concern, and the focus must expand beyond open source. With the right controls, organizations can avoid becoming the next headline-making breach and maintain trust with customers, partners, and regulators.Learn more about ReversingLabs: https://itspm.ag/reversinglabs-v57bNote: This story contains promotional content.

When “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength” we are living in an era of alternate facts. Mary and Andrew apply this Orwellian concept to what's happening this week, after President Trump cited section 740 of the Home Rule Act to federalize the DC police force and send in the national guard to the nation's capital. They detail how the president was able to do this and why Congress will be the ultimate arbiter of this move. Then, they highlight some litigation befitting this theme, with Judge Breyer's trial starting this week on the use of the national guard in Los Angeles, and some decisions including not to unseal grand jury testimony in the Ghislaine Maxwell case, plus an Appeals court blocking contempt proceedings in JGG. Last up, Andrew and Mary take a look at Judge Henderson's opinion in the OMB case and why it deserves more attention than it's received.

Among the points emphasized by the second Trump administration has been a major push for deregulation. President Trump has directed that there must be ten deregulatory actions for every one regulatory one, and put forward Presidential Memoranda and Executive Orders to that end. As some have noted, however, such deregulation can take significant time due to factors like the requirements for notice and comment under the Administrative Procedure Act.Interestingly, an April Presidential Memorandum seems to contemplate that potential hurdle for executive actions directing repeal of regulations contrary to ten specific recent Supreme Court decisions, including without notice and comment “where appropriate.”This panel will seek to discuss the potential impact of this presidential memorandum, when deregulation may happen, incurring a need for notice & comment, and what the Judicial Branch might ultimately determine about the Executive Branch’s efforts to enforce their precedents in this manner.Featuring:John Lewis, Deputy Legal Director, Governing for ImpactJonathan Wolfson, Chief Legal Officer and Policy Director, Cicero Institute(Moderator) Craig E. Leen, Partner, K&L Gates, and Former OFCCP Director
Presidents have used executive orders to direct the executive branch since the founding, but over the years the modern Presidency has drastically expanded its use of executive orders. Executive Orders have always been an important means of moving the Executive Branch into alignment with the President’s interpretation of the law consistent with his duty of faithful execution and a primary way President’s exercise their executive discretion under law. Yet all power is subject to expansion and abuse. In January 2014, for example, then-President Obama announced his “pen and phone” strategy: “I’ve got a pen to take executive actions where Congress won’t, and I’ve got a telephone to rally folks around the country on this mission.”Subsequent administrations have similarly relied on presidential authority to govern by way of Executive Orders, leading to significant litigation challenging the breadth of such authority. This panel will examine the use of executive orders and the “pen and phone” strategy throughout our nation’s history, especially from a separation of powers perspective. This broad power is not expressly identified in either the Constitution or statute, but it has long been accepted as inherent to presidential power over the federal government, federal agencies, foreign affairs, and our military. This panel will discuss the impact of executive orders, what precedent they set for future administrations in the robust exercise of executive authority, and how the “unitary executive” theory plays into that analysis.This webinar will be the first of four webinars previewing the Thirteenth Annual Executive Branch Review Conference on the topic of Theories of Presidential Power.Featuring: John G. Malcolm, Vice President, Institute for Constitutional Government; Director of the Meese Center for Legal & Judicial Studies and Senior Legal Fellow, The Heritage FoundationProf. Richard J.

Davis Professor of Law, University of Minnesota Law SchoolModerator: Beth Williams, Board Member, U.S. Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board
Since taking office on January 20, 2025, President Trump has emphasized deregulation. Deregulatory efforts have focused both on undoing Biden-era policies in areas of interest (environmental regulation, SOGI issues, immigration, etc.) and on a broader effort to limit the scope of administrative power more broadly. In light of these strong changes, this panel will discuss the history of deregulation efforts in the Executive Branch, how those compare to the deregulatory efforts of the Trump Administration, and what these changes may mean both practically and more institutionally for the future of the Administrative State.Featuring:Prof. Bridget C.E.

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano exposes how America's financial system has been weaponized to punish political opponents and reshape society. From the 2008 bailouts to the Biden administration's aggressive expansion of Operation Chokepoint, Professor Giordano breaks down how banks, regulators, and politicians have quietly turned your access to money into a political tool. With President Trump's new Executive Order banning politicized debanking and Senator Tim Scott's FIRM Act aiming to make those protections permanent, he explains what's at stake, why your financial freedom hangs in the balance, and how Congress must act before it's too late. Episode Highlights How the 2008 financial crisis created “too big to fail” banks and paved the way for politicized banking. The Biden administration's push to flag “Trump” and “MAGA” transactions, target lawful industries, and revive Operation Chokepoint. Why Trump's Executive Order is a major win, but why the FIRM Act is critical to making protections against political debanking permanent.

Send a Text to the Moms - please include your contact info if you want a response. thanks!A “Just Us” episode - inspired by listener inputMany listeners have asked us to do an episode about recovery that is “in the middle” - not miraculous, not superstar, but appreciating when “ordinary” is, in itself, a miracle.Along the way we also talk about President Trump's Executive Order on Homelessness - On July 24, the White House issued an Executive Order, “Ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets,” which directs federal agencies to make it easier to involuntarily treat people with serious mental illnesses as part of a bid to address homelessness across the United States.Addressing Homelessness and Mental IllnessThe group discussed President Trump's executive order on addressing homelessness and mental illness, with Randye, Mindy, and Mimi expressing concerns about the approach. They agreed that while affordable housing is important, it alone is not enough to solve homelessness, and that involuntary treatment must be accompanied by a robust mental health system. Mindy highlighted the need for both conservative and liberal support to create a comprehensive continuum of care, while the group criticized the lack of funding for mental health services under the current administration. They shared personal stories of individuals with mental illness who were unable to access appropriate treatment due to system failures, emphasizing the urgent need for a balanced approach that combines housing, treatment, and support services.Challenges of Schizophrenia RecoveryThe group discussed the challenges faced by individuals with mental illness, particularly focusing on those who are not in active psychosis but still experience significant negative symptoms. The Moms explained that recovery does not mean complete recovery but rather being in a process of improvement, and highlighted the eight principal negative symptoms of schizophrenia, including apathy, blunted emotions, social withdrawal, and anhedonia. The group explored how negative symptoms affect daily life and recovery for their sons.Challenges of Schizophrenia's Negative SymptomsThe group discussed the challenges of managing schizophrenia, particularly focusing on negative symptoms and their impact on daily life. Mindy shared her experience with her son Jim, who struggles with negative symptoms such as lack of initiative and social withdrawal, leading to isolation and difficulty engaging in activities. Mimi shared her positive experience at Dr. Laitman's barbecue event with her son, emphasizing the value of community and understanding among families facing similar challenges. The hosts also mentioned President Trump's executive order on homelessness and encouraged listeners to create local support groups for individuals with mental health issues.Randye described her son's journey with schizophrenia, including periods of improvement followed by setbacks, and highlighted the importance of structure, community, and purpose and treatment in managing the condition. Both women emphasized the difficulty of explaining negative symptoms to others and the need for more support and understanding for individuals with schizophreniWant to know more?Join our facebook page Our websites:Randye KayeMindy Greiling Miriam (Mimi) Feldman

U.S. President Donald Trump is set to sign a series of executive orders on Thursday, including one that punished banks for restricting services to customers based on their political or religious beliefs, and another that aims to allow private equity, real estate, cryptocurrency and other alternative assets in 401(k) retirement accounts.Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said on Thursday that the FBI responded to his request to help arrest state House Democratic lawmakers who left the state in a bid to block a GOP-led redistricting effort. Earlier this week, Cornyn sent a letter to the FBI and its director, Kash Patel, to request federal assistance in apprehending the Texas House Democrats who fled to other states, such as Illinois, Massachusetts, and New York, in a bid to block Republicans from conducting House business.

Have you ever wondered about the dark side of the American dream? In this episode, we delve into the complete Seabrook Farms history, a story of ambition, innovation, and betrayal that built—and ultimately destroyed—one of America's largest agricultural empires. Author John Seabrook, grandson of the company's visionary founder, joins us to discuss his book, The Spinach King, and unearth the secrets buried beneath a dynasty built on frozen vegetables. We explore the complex question of how a family can create a national brand from nothing, only to have it torn apart by the very man who built it.From its humble beginnings as a small truck farm in southern New Jersey, Seabrook Farms grew into a powerhouse that froze one-third of the nation's vegetables. John Seabrook recounts the story of his great-grandfather, a skilled farmer, and his grandfather, C.F. Seabrook, a Fordist industrialist who brought mass production to agriculture. C.F. Seabrook partnered with the legendary Clarence Birdseye to pioneer the flash-freezing process for vegetables, introducing staples like the lima bean to the East Coast. But this success came at a cost. We uncover the shocking story of CF Seabrook erasing his father from history, fabricating a more "illustrious" ancestry to bolster the family brand while cheating his own father out of the company he helped build.The episode examines the complex labor practices that defined the company. We discuss the controversial story of the Seabrook Farms Japanese-American workers, who were recruited from internment camps during World War II under Executive Order 9066, as well as Estonian workers from displaced persons camps after the war. While the company created a unique, multicultural community in Seabrook, New Jersey, this benevolent image is contrasted with a much darker chapter: the violent 1934 Seabrook Farms labor strike. John Seabrook reveals how this event, involving armed vigilantes and the KKK, was systematically erased from the official company narrative. The full Seabrook Farms history is a complex tale of both progress and oppression, culminating in a family war that led to the company's collapse in 1959. This interview, inspired by the book John Seabrook The Spinach King, exposes the human drama behind the iconic brand, from a cameo in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey to the family's strange friendship with a gangster bodyguard and the fairytale meeting of John's parents at Grace Kelly's royal wedding.About Our Guest:John Seabrook is the author of The Spinach King: The Rise and Fall of an American Dynasty and a long-time staff writer at The New Yorker. As the son and grandson of the men at the center of the Seabrook Farms empire, he provides a deeply personal and unflinchingly honest account of his family's incredible rise and devastating fall, piecing together a story of innovation, family conflict, and the hidden costs of success.Timestamps:(0:00) The Dark Secrets of an American Food Dynasty(2:05) The Rise of a Frozen Vegetable Empire and the History of Seabrook Farms(8:40) Erasing a Patriarch: How C.F.

Accountability or weaponization? That's the question Andrew and Mary tackle in their 150th episode together, starting with the distraction of the Office of the Special Counsel's investigation into Jack Smith for possible Hatch Act violations. In other DOJ related matters, they give some context to the Trump administration's continued battle to keep Alina Habba, a Trump ally, as New Jersey U.S. Attorney, just as The Legal Accountability Center filed bar complaints against lawyers who have represented Trump's White House in court. In another sideshow, Andrew and Mary break down what to make of a report on the “Clinton Plan” emails, declassified amid the Epstein controversy. And last up, they detail the decision out of the 9th Circuit Court which upheld a pause on ICE raids in California.

There's a great debate surrounding actress Sydney Sweeney and her jeans. No, we're not kidding. Listen in as our delightful host, Mike Slater, tackles this stupidly thorny issue and explains why a dumb clothing ad has so many people upset and what American values we all need to return to.Following the opener, Slater gabs with Loveline's Dr. Drew Pinsky about President Donald J. Trump's recent executive order regarding the homeless in this country and helping them with the mental health issues that have put them on the street. Is his approach right or wrong? These two radio legends have some answers!
If it's customary, it's probably not happening in this Justice Department. Starting with the latest from the Epstein controversy, Andrew and Mary unpack what to make of the two days Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche spent interviewing Ghislaine Maxwell. This, after a Florida judge denied the release of Epstein grand jury transcripts last Wednesday.And in immigration related news, three decisions came through in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia saga, just as the first claim is filed against the U.S. over one man's deportation to El Salvador without due process. Then, in an eye-popping move, Attorney General Pam Bondi's office filed a misconduct complaint against Judge James Boasberg for “making improper public comments” about the President and his administration. And before wrapping up this week, Mary and Andrew give some context to the former J6 prosecutor who's suing the administration over his abrupt firing.Further Reading: Here is the misconduct complaint filed against Judge Boasberg: Complaint Against United States District Court Chief Judge James E.

President Donald Trump is aiming to fundamentally shift how the country manages homelessness with a new executive order he signed last week. It calls for changes that would make it easier for states and cities to move people living on the street into treatment for mental illness or addiction, and in some cases, potentially force people into treatment. Consider This: The Trump administration says the federal government has spent tens of billions of dollars on housing without addressing the root causes of homelessness. But critics worry this new executive order won't solve those root causes, either.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
