In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan sounds the alarm on a clandestine Chinese biolab discovered in Las Vegas, tied to the same Chinese national behind the infamous California lab raid involving dangerous viruses, dead animals, and fraudulent COVID test schemes. He then covers explosive new inconsistencies in the Jeffrey Epstein jail death investigation, including missing evidence, conflicting officer statements, and questions the DOJ still refuses to answer. Back in Washington, Bryan breaks down the looming DHS shutdown as Democrats push demands that would effectively cripple ICE, while some Republicans float compromise plans that Bryan warns could be disastrous.

Let's talk about the 10 democratic asks for DHS funding....

On this week's “Marketplace Tech Bytes: Week in Review,” we take a look at Nvidia's changing investment relationship with OpenAI. Plus, a stormy start for the new U.S. version of TikTok. But first, SpaceX, one of the world's largest rocket companies, announced this week that it's buying xAI, a two-and-half-year-old artificial intelligence startup. Both companies are controlled by Elon Musk. The new company is reportedly valued at $1.25 trillion. It means the chatbot Grok, the satellite internet company Starlink, and the social media firm X are all going to co-exist under the same rocket hangar. Marketplace's Stephanie Hughes spoke with Paresh Dave, senior writer at Wired, about what adding these companies together equals.

Again and again, President Trump has made it known he has a beef with Colorado, whether it's anger over his presidential portrait that was displayed at the State Capitol or the state's policies on immigration, artificial intelligence and voting. And it's not simply talk. Since Trump has returned to the White House, Colorado is losing a military command, and a major scientific research center is in jeopardy, as are hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding.Democrats say Trump's actions add up to retaliation. Others, particularly on the right, say this is a situation the state has brought upon itself due to its policies. Regardless of the political lens you look through, Trump has made it clear he doesn't like a lot of things about this blue state. CPR's Bente Birkeland, The Colorado Sun's Taylor Dolven and CPR's Caitlyn Kim look at the president's different actions against the state, how Colorado leaders are responding to those actions and how some are pushing back.Catch up on our latest coverage: CPR News: Policy differences or punishment?

Trump's ego is on full display. In order to release more infrastructure funding for the Gateway Tunnels between New York and New Jersey, Trump is demanding that two major transportation hubs be named after him. Politico reports that Trump indicated to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer that he'd release funds if both Washington-Dulles International Airport and Penn Station were renamed in honor of Trump. It's the latest scheme that highlights the importance of Trump's self aggrandizement instead of prioritizing what's best for the country. Immigration attorney Michael Foote will stop by to talk about ICE tactics, Trump's Immigration policies and how he's seeing it all play out in real life. “This Week in Politics” includes Michael Shure and Mo Kelly breaking down the biggest stories of the week. We'll wrap it up with Friday Fabulous Florida and our Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder who will steer us toward all the good things on screens large and small.

On this episode of The Truth with Lisa Boothe, Lisa sits down with Senator Marsha Blackburn for a wide-ranging discussion on immigration enforcement, public safety, and government accountability. Blackburn highlights the success of federal-local cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Memphis, while sharply criticizing Minnesota for refusing to support ICE operations. The conversation breaks down congressional funding battles surrounding the Department of Homeland Security, the push for body cameras on ICE agents, and the heightened risks agents face when protective masks are removed. Blackburn also introduces her Fraud Accountability Act, aimed at holding fraudsters accountable through deportation or de-naturalization, arguing that law and order must be restored at every level of government. The episode closes with a look at ongoing power outages across Tennessee, which Blackburn links to misguided budget cuts and failed governance—underscoring the real-world consequences of policy decisions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Let's talk about DHS funding, deadlines, Trump, and what's next....

As immigration crackdowns spread to new cities across the country, Americans overwhelmingly disapprove of the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, according to a new PBS News/NPR/Marist poll. Lisa Desjardins joins William Brangham to discuss how public opinion is shifting and how it may play into the debate on Capitol Hill.

Congress has passed — and President Donald Trump has signed — the annual spending bill for the Department of Health and Human Services. But it's unclear whether the administration will spend the money as Congress directed.In 2025, billions of dollars were stalled, disrupting patient care and scientific research, until federal judges ordered funding resumed. Anna Edney of Bloomberg News, Joanne Kenen of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Politico Magazine, and Sandhya Raman of CQ Roll Call join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss those stories and more.Also this week, Rovner interviews KFF Health News' Renuka Rayasam about a new reporting project, “Priced Out.”Plus, for “extra credit” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too: Julie Rovner: Politico's “DeSantis' Canadian Drug Import Plan in Florida Goes From Campaign Trail to Tough Realities,” by Arek Sarkissian.  Sandhya Raman: The Washington Post's “Free HIV Drugs Save Lives.

Today, we have a special guest on the podcast, Keith Lucas, a startup advisor specializing in product, growth, people and culture. Keith led product and engineering at Roblox, helping scale its infrastructure, product offerings, team and business. Most recently, Keith published a book entitled Impact: How to Inspire, Align, and Amplify Innovative Teams. All book proceeds go to charities to help young entrepreneurs, so make sure you check the link in the notes and grab the book today.In our chat, Keith is going to walk us through key concepts in the book, surrounding centering your team around the vision and mission of what you are driving towards, from recruiting to execution to "coaching out".Questions:What was your goal in writing this book? What were you hoping to accomplish?In Chapter 1, you mention purpose inspiring action. How does aligning to purpose drive urgency, without resulting in burnout or being an "antiquated mandate", like you mention in Chapter 2?You state "Culture is what you do, not what you say"... How does a leader's daily behavior - especially around micromanagement or decision-making speed - define the team's realized values, overriding the company's codified ones?I found the idea of The Cascade (Chapter 5) interesting, mapping core beliefs to execution alignment. In terms of feedback, what is the difference between "belief busting" and "hypothesis busting" feedback? How should leaders respond to each in order to maintain trust and agility?How often should entrepreneurial teams deliberately challenge and re-org autonomous pods to optimize for agility and opportunity, over long term stability?Now this is interesting - the "okay contributor", you define as a person who meets standards in all areas but shows no exceptionalism. Why is this person more damaging to a culture of mastery, than the high talent disrupter?What is a Mission Athlete? When recruiting, how does preparing a vision doc for a role shift the recruiting conversation from transactional to one focused on strategic alignment and ownership?You mention in Chapter 8 that compensation can be a distraction. What core mistakes do scaling startups make with compensation that turn it from a non-issue into an energy-sapping problem that erodes retention?You define Coaching Out as the intentional process of protecting the productive from the disruptive, treating an exit as a non-personal assessment that maintains decency and clarity. Can you describe the GYOR continuum?Why should leaders avoid formal PIP's when dealing with a struggling team member? What must replace it to ensure accountability and decency?SponsorsTECH DomainsMezmoBraingrid.aiAlcorEquitybeeTerms and conditions: Equitybee executes private financing contracts (PFCs) allowing investors a certain claim to ESO upon liquidation event; Could limit your profits.

License fees, fish hatcheries, and hunter education collide in Michigan's high-stakes conservation debate. Michigan's outdoor heritage runs on a model many hunters and anglers take for granted: user-funded conservation. Michigan DNR Deputy Director Shannon Lott and State Senator John Bumstead pull back the curtain on how hunting and fishing license dollars actually keep fisheries stocked, wildlife managed, and public lands open. The discussion centers on Michigan's long-overdue license fee restructuring and why it matters now more than ever. Rising costs have put pressure on fish hatcheries, Great Lakes stocking programs, and wildlife management budgets that are funded almost entirely by sportsmen and women. When license revenue falls short, the ripple effects show up fast, from threatened stocking cuts to deferred maintenance on state lands relied on by hunters, anglers, and outdoor recreationists. With fewer legislators holding hunting or fishing licenses, education has become critical. From the role of Sportsmen's Caucuses to the importance of maintaining agency authority grounded in science, the episode highlights how conservation policy is shaped long before it reaches the field. A major focus lands on Hunter Education in schools and why early exposure to firearm safety, conservation funding, and outdoor traditions matters for the future of hunting, fishing, and public access. Take a candid look at who pays into the system, who doesn't, and why protecting this funding model is essential for Michigan's outdoor economy and way of life.   Get the FREE Sportsmen's Voice e-publication in your inbox every Monday: www.congressionalsportsmen.org/newsletter  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold breaks down a rapidly intensifying news cycle centered on election integrity, intelligence developments, and a looming Department of Homeland Security funding battle. The show opens with analysis of a John Solomon interview outlining alleged foreign intrusions into state election systems, including voter database access, fraudulent registration efforts, and the role of state law violations rather than vote flipping. Jon connects these revelations to ongoing developments in Fulton County, Georgia, and discusses why separate investigations may be converging at a critical moment. The episode also covers reports that President Trump is expected to receive an intelligence briefing tied to election interference, alongside media panic surrounding DNI Tulsi Gabbard and whistleblower complaints deemed not credible by inspectors general. Jon then turns to Capitol Hill, where Democrats issue a sweeping list of demands tied to DHS funding, including restrictions on ICE enforcement, sparking the possibility of another partial shutdown. Additional segments touch on redistricting decisions, civil service rule changes, and media reactions as institutional pressure continues to build.

Congress ended the shutdown but now faces a tight deadline to fund the Department of Homeland Security, with Democrats and Republicans far apart over immigration enforcement reforms after two U.S. citizens were killed by federal agents in Minnesota.Russia has resumed heavy strikes on Ukraine's power grid during extreme cold, despite President Trump saying Vladimir Putin agreed to pause attacks, putting new strain on fragile diplomatic efforts.And President Trump is calling for the federal government to “take over” elections in some states, escalating concerns among election officials about interference ahead of the midterms.Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun? Subscribe to the Up First newsletter.Today's episode of Up First was edited by Anna Yukhananov, Miguel Macias, Ben Swasey, Mohamad ElBardicy, and Alice Woelfle.It was produced by Ziad Buchh, Nia Dumas, and Christopher Thomas.We get engineering support from Neisha Heinis.

The four-day partial government shutdown is now over. In short succession Tuesday, lawmakers passed and Trump signed a funding package to fully reopen the federal government. But the policy fight over Trump's immigration crackdown in U.S. cities that caused the shutdown is far from over, and the government has given itself only a small window of borrowed time.

Recorded live at the NTL Summit in Miami, this episode features Logan Alters, co-founder of Claim Angel, a marketplace designed to bring transparency and fairness to plaintiff funding. Logan breaks down how case funding is supposed to help injured clients buy time for a better settlement—and how bad actors have turned it into a predatory “tax” through excessive fees and sky-high interest. He shares how Claim Angel standardizes rates, automates much of the process, and helps law firms offer clients multiple funding options while reducing ethical risk and financial pressure to settle early.

In this episode of Dental Unfiltered, Matt Brown and Dr. Andrew Vallo discuss how dentists can better position themselves to secure practice funding. They break down common loan challenges, why banks often misread dentists as employees instead of business owners, and what it takes to stand out—organized financials, clear plans, and speaking the bank's language. A practical episode for dentists looking to fund growth with confidence.

It's day 2 of the government shutdown, President Trump secured 2 votes for GOP holdouts that would allow Speaker Johnson to usher in a new spending bill. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna and Rep. Tim Burchett said they received a promise that the Senate would vote on the SAVE Act, which would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer was applied enough pressure to the Clintons that they have agreed to testify on their relationship to Jeffrey Epstein. New polling shows that support for deportations still has a 61% approval even with the recent bad optics in the media. John Solomon from the Just The News is here to unpack all things happening in the political realm. What's going on in Minnesota is a well-funded, well-organized chaos to disrupt law and order in America. From importing voters to overlooking fraud, the Democrats want to keep their census numbers and maintain control in key battleground states. The tools to dismantle this are in the hands of the justice department and it just needs coordinated action between Pam Bondi, the IRS and the FBI. Harmeet Dhillon told John Solomon that disrupting church services and rioting are not protected by the First Amendment and she will be exploring all avenues when it comes to prosecuting Don Lemon. As House Republicans push to pass the Save ACT, the raid on the election warehouse in Fulton county may uncover some bombshells about the 2020 election. The FBI is investigating election fraud and Tulsi Gabbard's presence in the raid suggests foreign powers may have intervened. John Solomon unpacks it all and more.

Only 3% of venture capital funding goes to women-owned businesses. But here's the thing—it's not because your idea isn't good enough. It's because of foundational mistakes you're making before you even apply. Business strategist Ms. Cat (Catherine Mitchell) joins Sarah to break down exactly what keeps women entrepreneurs from accessing the billions in funding that's actually available. From choosing the wrong business name to using your personal Gmail account, these structural errors are disqualifying you before funders even look at your pitch. Ms. Cat walks through the NAICS code trap, why your LLC address matters more than you think, and the exact moment you should start looking for funding. Plus, she gets real about the burning desire you need to make the leap from side hustle to main hustle—and why entrepreneurship isn't for everyone. This conversation is part of Sarah's mission to put more money in the hands of more women.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN The 5 foundational mistakes that disqualify businesses from funding—including why certain business names are considered "high risk" and how your NAICS code can knock you out of the game When to actually start looking for venture capital funding (and the capital gap test to know if you're ready) Why using your home address on your LLC is a red flag to investors—and what funders are really looking for when they Google your business The 3-4x rule for knowing when your side hustle is ready to become your main hustle Why funding challenges have nothing to do with your product or service—it's all about foundation and structure How women disqualify themselves before they even ask for funding (and how proper structure gives you the confidence to apply) The burning desire you need beyond just a good idea to survive entrepreneurship   READY TO BUILD A BUSINESS FOUNDATION THAT POSITIONS YOU FOR GROWTH?

WIRED reporter Caroline Haskins reports that the agency has been utilizing these tools in its immigration crackdown.
