In Part Two of our decoding of Mel Robbins, things take a practical turn. But before we get to preoccupied with all that, why don't you pause, take a breath, and, in the context of your body, write down ten ways to make a bad situation worse. Your focus should then be on doing the exact opposite! For example, if one of your answers is to not listen to the podcast, then start listening, right now!Next, before hitting play, let's work on building a daily manifestation practice. Write down five things you want, then sit in your body, picture yourself doing all the annoying steps, and flood yourself with the feelings of future success. This needs to happen every day.One more thing: now imagine someone who is one million per cent behind you and ask them what is the best way for you to consume the podcast. They can be alive, dead, or fictional. Greek messenger Gods are permitted. You can even imagine your mother, if you like, but better. Alternatively, why not meet your future self at the front door and ask how listening to the podcast helped them to become so wise, slim, and successful?There are other options too. You can manifest a legion of ancestors, reconfigure a difficult afternoon by getting sushi, and even transcend the limits of possibility with an elephant murder themed visualization!You might think this sounds a bit like (too much) planning, mental rehearsal, and just trying to be a bit more positive. But it's much more than that. These mental activities are actually powered by very hard science. Ignore the tiny samples, one-tailed tests, and suspicious p-values... that all sounds like negative thinking.And now you are finally prepared so choose your technique, release the brake, and visualise the download button. Your future self is waiting. They have a cool scar and some bad news about your future children.LinksThe Mel Robbins Podcast: “World Leading Psychologist: How to Manifest Anything & Create the Life You Want” with Dr Cassandra VietenCassandra Vieten: Imagine That: Transform How You Think, Feel, and Live with the Science of ImaginationInstitute of Noetic Sciences: Origins StoryHershfield, H.

Earlier this month, a new Democratic machine scored a major victory in Connecticut. First-time congressional candidate Luke Bronin won his Democratic primary by a landslide, ousting 14-term progressive incumbent Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.). Bronin's win is part of a larger, national push — funded by a secretive hedge fund manager — to elect more establishment-aligned Democrats. Who is this man pouring his millions into the fight?   Today on Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with Lever reporters Katya Schwenk and Luke Goldstein to unmask the man behind the machine. They discuss Schwenk and Goldstein's recent hit article exploring how one billionaire Democratic donor is attempting to handpick corporate-friendly candidates and crush their most progressive opponents in this year's midterms.   You can check out more of Katya Schwenk and Luke Goldstein's reporting here: How A Hedge Fund Billionaire Became The Democrats' New Kingmaker The Democratic Primary Operative With A Wall Street Side Gig The New Democratic Machine – And The Billionaires Behind It Get ad-free episodes, bonus content and extended interviews by becoming a member at levernews.com/join.

Negative gearing on established homes has just been abolished. The capital gains tax discount you've relied on for twenty years has been rewritten.   And somewhere between the government's press conference and the Treasury modelling, a trillion dollars in debt got added to the tab for a generation that hasn't even been asked if they're willing to pay it.   So here's the question I want to answer for you today. If you're a property investor, a business owner, or someone who just wants a comfortable retirement, what do the next three years actually look like for you?   By the end of this episode, you'll know exactly what the man leading the opposition to these changes thinks should happen instead.   You'll know whether a change of government would genuinely wind back negative gearing and CGT reform, or whether that's politically unrealistic once the changes are locked in.    And you'll understand where the real blame sits for the property market slowdown, because it's not as simple as the headlines make out.   My guest today is the Hon Tim Wilson, the Federal Member for Goldstein and Australia's Shadow Treasurer and in this episode I'm speaking with him about what the recent tax and housing changes mean for property, business, and retirement outcomes.   We unpack how government debt, rising taxes, and weaker private investment are reshaping Australia's economic outlook.   Tim explains why policy uncertainty is damaging confidence for property investors, business owners, and overseas capital.   We discuss how changes to negative gearing, capital gains tax, and trusts could lift rents and deter new housing supply.   We also explore why a growth-focused, small-business-led economy is, in Tim's view, the best path forward.   Takeaways    • Government debt today becomes tomorrow's taxes, squeezing household spending and future investment choices. • Inflation erodes living standards by lifting supermarket prices while wages and productivity struggle to keep pace. • Public-sector job growth can crowd out private enterprise, weakening long-term economic resilience and innovation. • Higher taxes on property investment reduce rental supply, pushing rents upward for tenants. • Tax changes that hurt housing feasibility discourage builders, slowing new dwelling construction across the market. • First-home buyer schemes can unintentionally inflate entry-level prices by boosting demand faster than supply. • Retrospective rule changes destroy investor confidence, making long-term capital allocation far riskier. • Trust tax reforms may trigger costly restructures, wasting time and money across the economy. • Prioritising super over home ownership delays deposits, family formation, and wealth-building for younger Australians. • Small businesses drive productivity and hiring, so backing them supports broader economic growth and opportunity.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time. ·        Everyone wins a copy of a fully updated property report   Michael Yardney – Subscribe to my Property Update newsletter here.   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property plan.

A holiday Monday is a good time to cover a classic: the action/sci-fi/horror that is Aliens. James Cameron's blockbuster was his follow-up to his action/sci-fi/horror hit The Terminator. This might have been a horrible experience for the director and his production team, but everybody involved came up with one of the greatest sequels of all time. Humans battle xenomorphs and the result was many iconic moments and lines of dialogue...and there's a sympathetic feminist at the centre. Sigourney Weaver's best-known character works so well off the likes of Biehn, Henn, Reiser, Henriksen, Paxton and Goldstein...and, of course, those slimy aliens. So get away from her you something or other and cue up that incredible escape music as this 754th edition of Have You Ever Seen talks about the awesome 40-year-old flick we call Aliens. Well, Actually: I forgot to mention the trivia question for next week's show about Brute Force (and Heaven's Gate). It's just that Burt Lancaster is a convict in Brute Force, but he's also a convict in a more-famous prison movie. Which one?

How does one of the most accomplished Supreme Court advocates in America end up in federal prison? In this episode of The Valley Current®, Jack Russo unpacks the stunning rise and fall of Thomas C. Goldstein, whose legal career reached the pinnacle of the profession before unraveling under convictions for tax evasion, mortgage fraud, and concealing millions in gambling winnings. Drawing from a detailed legal analysis, Jack explores the decade-long chain of decisions that transformed professional prestige into criminal liability, why the court rejected a gambling addiction defense, and how trust became Goldstein's most valuable asset before ultimately becoming his greatest liability. It's a cautionary story about trust, reputation, and how small compromises can end even the most extraordinary careers.

This Day in Legal History: The Immigration Act of 1882On August 3, 1882, President Chester A. Arthur signed the Immigration Act of 1882, the first comprehensive federal law regulating immigration into the United States. Before this, immigration had largely been left to the individual states; this Act marked the moment the federal government claimed the subject as its own, and it built the first federal machinery for controlling who could enter the country.The Act did two enduring things. First, it imposed a “head tax”—fifty cents on every immigrant arriving by ship—to fund the administration of immigration, and it placed enforcement under the Secretary of the Treasury, creating the country's first federal immigration bureaucracy. Second, and more consequentially for the law that followed, it created categories of people who would be excluded: convicts, the “insane,” and—in language that would echo for the next century and a half—”any person unable to take care of himself or herself without becoming a public charge.” That public-charge concept, born here in 1882, is the same doctrine we discussed just a couple of weeks ago when the current administration revived an expansive version of the public-charge rule.The significance of August 3, 1882 is that it is the taproot of the entire federal immigration system. Coming just months after the Chinese Exclusion Act, it established the foundational premise that the national government decides the terms of admission to the United States, and it introduced the framework—head taxes, excludable categories, federal enforcement—on which everything since has been built. It's worth sitting with the tension in the date: 1882 is also, almost exactly, the moment Emma Lazarus was composing “The New Colossus,” with its welcome to the tired and the poor. The law and the poem were born together, and the distance between them—between the statute's exclusions and the sonnet's embrace—is a distance the country has been arguing about ever since.Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has formally rescinded the $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization fund,” clearing what had been the biggest obstacle to his confirmation. If you were with us last week, this is the resolution of that story. The fund—created by a Justice Department order back in May—would have used taxpayer money to compensate people who claimed to be victims of the prior administration's Justice Department, a group that notably included those convicted in connection with the January 6 Capitol attack. Republican Senator John Cornyn had refused to support Blanche's nomination until the fund was killed, and this week Blanche did exactly that, signing an order declaring the May directive “rescinded” with “no force or effect,” and, as part of the deal, agreeing to limit the related immunity arrangement so it applies only to the IRS and not to other agencies. The significance ties together several threads we've followed all summer. This fund grew out of the same collusive IRS settlement that a federal judge voided as a sham, and it sat at the center of concerns about the Justice Department being used to reward the president's allies. That a senator from the president's own party forced its formal repeal as the price of confirmation is advice-and-consent working as a genuine check—and it means the incoming attorney general takes office having had to publicly dismantle one of the administration's most criticized initiatives before the Senate would trust him with the job.Acting US Attorney General Blanche rescinds ‘anti-weaponization' fund before confirmation vote | ReutersNPR · NBC NewsIn a court filing, Capital One has disclosed for the first time that it closed more than 300 Trump Organization bank accounts back in 2021 after an anti-money-laundering review—the first time a bank has formally tied such concerns to its decision to cut off the president's family business. The context is a lawsuit: the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust and Eric Trump sued Capital One in Florida last year, alleging the bank “debanked” them for political reasons, having notified the Trump Organization of the closures in March 2021, just weeks after January 6. Capital One's filing reframes that story entirely. The bank says its compliance team did precisely what federal regulators expect—flagging accounts that raised anti-money-laundering red flags and acting on them. Here's the legal machinery underneath. Under the Bank Secrecy Act and related anti-money-laundering rules, banks are legally obligated to monitor their customers, file suspicious-activity reports, and, when warranted, close accounts; failing to do so can expose a bank to serious regulatory penalties. Importantly, Capital One did not accuse the Trump Organization of actual money laundering—flagging a risk and proving a crime are very different things. The significance is that this is a clean collision between two hot legal debates: the “debanking” complaint that financial institutions are dropping customers for political or ideological reasons, and the reality that banks operate under mandatory AML obligations that require them to shed risky accounts. A court will now have to decide which of those framings fits what Capital One actually did.Capital One says it closed Trump Organization's accounts after anti-money-laundering review | ReutersCNBC · NPRTom Goldstein, the prominent Supreme Court advocate and SCOTUSblog founder we've been following, has launched his appeal—asking the Fourth Circuit to overturn his twelve convictions for tax and mortgage fraud and to undo his six-year prison sentence. Recall the case: a jury found that Goldstein concealed millions from a secret high-stakes poker life, diverted his law firm's fees to cover gambling debts, and lied to mortgage lenders; he was sentenced to 72 months and ordered to pay more than $3 million in restitution. The appeal is a reminder that even a resource-intensive, headline conviction gets a second look, and Goldstein is raising some genuinely lawyerly arguments. The most interesting is venue—the constitutional requirement that a defendant be tried in the right place. His team argues that while prosecutors proved he filled out loan applications in Maryland, they never proved from where he actually transmitted the documents, leaning on a recent Fourth Circuit decision that took venue seriously. He's also challenging the admission of statements he made in media interviews and the wording of the jury instructions. Commentators describe his path as daunting, and it is—appellate courts rarely overturn convictions, and factual findings get real deference. But the significance is that these are exactly the kinds of technical, procedural issues on which serious appeals are built. Goldstein spent his career winning cases at the top of the appellate system; now he's testing whether that same system will scrutinize the government's work in convicting him.US Supreme Court lawyer Tom Goldstein appeals tax conviction | ReutersLaw360 · Bloomberg LawAnd finally, the Justice Department has moved to drop its criminal case against David Hearn, the former Olympic canoeist charged with vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool—and the reason is striking. We covered Hearn's not-guilty plea back in July, when his lawyers called the prosecution an abuse of power built on a “concocted narrative.” It turns out that characterization may have been closer to the truth than the charge. In a 20-page filing, prosecutors acknowledged that evidence received after Hearn was indicted shows the damage to the pool “was the result of flawed installation by the contractor,” compounded by “the rush to complete the project” before the America 250 celebrations around July 4. In other words: not vandalism—shoddy construction. The U.S. Attorney's office said it only learned of the flawed-installation evidence after a grand jury had already indicted him. The significance goes right to prosecutorial power and its risks. A 67-year-old man was detained for hours and charged with a felony over damage that, by the government's own admission, he didn't cause. The case collapsing is the system correcting itself—but only after Hearn spent weeks as a felony defendant. It's a real-world illustration of a point we keep returning to: the decision to charge is one of the most consequential and least reviewable powers in the legal system, and when it's exercised on a flawed factual premise, the damage to the person charged is done long before the dismissal.US Justice Department drops case against former US Olympian over Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool | ReutersPBS NewsHour · CNN This is a public episode.

This Day in Legal History: The First Executive DepartmentOn July 27, 1789, President George Washington signed the act establishing the Department of Foreign Affairs—the first executive department created under the brand-new Constitution, and the direct ancestor of today's State Department, which was renamed a few weeks later. It's easy to overlook, but this was a foundational moment: the First Congress was building the executive branch essentially from scratch, deciding what federal administration would actually look like in practice.The most consequential part of the debate wasn't the department's diplomatic functions—it was a question that still echoes through constitutional law today: who controls the officials who run these departments? The Constitution says the President appoints principal officers with the Senate's consent, but it is conspicuously silent on who can remove them. As Congress drafted the statute, it confronted this head-on in what historians call the “Decision of 1789.” After intense debate, Congress structured the law to reflect the view that the President alone—without needing the Senate's permission—holds the power to remove the department head. That choice embedded a powerful assumption about presidential control of the executive branch into the very first agency Congress built.The significance of July 27, 1789 reaches all the way to the present. The Decision of 1789 has been cited by the Supreme Court for a century as evidence that the Constitution vests the President with broad removal power—in cases like Myers v. United States, and more recently in the modern fights over the independence of agencies like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the removal of officials at supposedly independent commissions. Every time we argue about whether a president can fire the head of an agency at will, we are arguing about a question the First Congress thought it had answered when it created this very first department. It's a reminder that the architecture of executive power was contested from the founding's opening days—and that those early choices still bind us.A federal appeals court has refused to let the administration implement President Trump's executive order overhauling mail-in voting, keeping the order frozen ahead of November's midterm elections. In a 2-1 decision, the Boston-based First Circuit declined to lift an injunction that Democratic-led states won on June 25, when a lower-court judge found key parts of the order unconstitutional. Here's what the March order actually did. It directed federal officials to build a national “state citizenship list” of eligible voters, and told the Justice Department to investigate officials who mail ballots to people the administration deems ineligible. The constitutional problem is structural: under the Constitution, the authority to set the “times, places and manner” of elections rests with the states and with Congress—not with the President acting alone by executive order. The states argued, and the courts have so far agreed, that the President can't unilaterally rewrite the machinery of federal elections. This fits a pattern we've tracked all month—the SAVE citizenship database fight, the Justice Department's warnings to election officials, the gutting of the Election Assistance Commission. The significance is that the judiciary is repeatedly drawing the same line: however much a president wants to reshape how Americans vote, elections in this country are decentralized by constitutional design, and that design is holding, at least for now, right when it matters most.US appeals court rules Trump cannot implement mail-in voting order | ReutersTom Goldstein—one of the most celebrated Supreme Court advocates of his generation, who argued 44 cases before the Court and co-founded SCOTUSblog—has been sentenced to six years in prison for tax evasion and mortgage fraud. We previewed the sentencing on Friday; now the number is in: 72 months, and the judge revoked his bond and took him into custody on the spot. Recall the conduct the jury found: Goldstein concealed millions in winnings and losses from his secret life as an ultra-high-stakes poker player, diverted his law firm's legal fees into personal accounts to cover gambling debts, and steered money to his creditors so it never surfaced as reportable income. The Justice Department had asked for eight years; the judge landed at six. The significance is the same point I made in my Forbes piece last week, now delivered with a prison term attached: the tax laws reach even the most sophisticated players, but only when the government invests the resources to untangle complex, deliberately obscured finances. Goldstein's case is the rare, resource-intensive prosecution that actually happens—and its severity sends a message to the sliver of high-end taxpayers who assume complexity is a shield. That a lawyer who reached the absolute summit of the profession is now headed to federal prison over how he handled his taxes is a stark bookend to a remarkable career.Star US Supreme Court lawyer Goldstein sentenced for tax crimes | ReutersAnd finally, the same Boston appeals court has rejected the administration's bid to revive its $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas for highly skilled foreign workers. The First Circuit declined to pause a lower-court ruling from June 8 that struck down the fee, and the reasoning goes to the heart of who gets to impose costs like this. The trial court held that the fee was, in substance, an unlawful tax that Congress never authorized—and taxing is a power the Constitution gives to Congress, not the executive. To put the number in perspective: employers seeking an H-1B visa typically paid somewhere between $2,000 and $5,000 in fees before this; the administration wanted to charge a hundred thousand dollars, as part of a broader effort to discourage companies from hiring foreign workers over Americans. The three-judge panel found the administration hadn't shown it was likely to prove it stayed within its authority. The significance connects directly to the theme running through today's episode: the limits of executive power. Just as the President can't unilaterally rewrite election rules, he can't unilaterally impose what amounts to a six-figure tax on visa applications without Congress. When the executive reaches for a power the Constitution assigns elsewhere—here, the power to tax—the courts have been willing to say no. It's a reminder that even sweeping policy goals have to run through the constitutional plumbing of who is actually allowed to do what.Appeals court rejects Trump bid to halt $100,000 H-1B visa fee ruling | Reuters This is a public episode.

B”H What happens when a near-death experience becomes the beginning of a new life, a new relationship with G-d, and an extraordinary friendship? Today I'm in conversation with Nikki Goldstein, Co-Author of Conversations with My Rabbi: Timeless Teachings for a Fractured World. Nikki wrote this book with Rabbi Eli Schlanger obm who was murdered by jihadist terrorists in the horrific Bondi Beach terrorist attack. Nikki is a journalist, bestselling, award-winning author, and founder of Go2Guru. She began her career at Vogue, went on to hold senior editorial roles at ELLE, Marie Claire, and Financial Review Magazine, and has written seventeen books. But her newest book is unlike anything she has written before. At its heart, Conversations With My Rabbi explores the Seven Noahide Laws, the seven universal principles that the Torah gave to humanity, reframed through an honest and deeply personal conversation between a secular Jewish woman and a rabbi. Nikki and I talk about the miracle that brought Rabbi Eli into her life, how he helped her discover a direct relationship with G-d, and why these ancient principles are urgently relevant today. We talk about giving and how it ties to the Seven Noahide Laws. We also talk about grief, courage, Jewish identity, and what it means to live with more light, love, and purpose. You've never heard a conversation about the Seven Noahide Laws like this one. Here's the lovely Nikki Goldstein.

On this special mid-2026 edition of PopHealth Week, hosts Fred Goldstein, MS (President, Accountable Health) and Gregg Anthony Masters, MPH take an unflinching look at the state of U.S. population and public health at the halfway point of 2026. What they find is not drift, it is intentional dismantling. Three storylines define the moment: RFK Jr.'s ideological remake of HHS, a CDC operating without confirmed leadership during a record-setting measles outbreak, and an FDA commissioner pushed out after refusing to approve fruit-flavored vapes. Goldstein and Masters hold both the legitimate grievances embedded in the MAHA agenda, i.e., chronic disease, food systems, polypharmacy and the dangerous prescriptions being applied in its name: vaccine messaging ambiguity, fluoride removals, fabricated citations in federal health reports.

We chat with Matt Haugen and Jesse Goldstein from the Climate + Community Institute about a new report they co-authored laying out how the US is engaging in industrial policy for AI development in ways that are often indirect, inconsistent, and interpersonal, but ultimately are configured around supporting a specific configuration of (venture) capitalist strategy for intensive, rapid development, all while making political economic choices that prioritize anti-social infrastructure over social well-being and environmental protections. ••• AI First: How the Federal Government is Prioritizing AI Over People and Planet https://stopgreedbuildgreen.climateandcommunity.org/posts/ai-first ••• Honey, We Need To Talk About Venture Socialism https://www.butthistime.com/p/honey-we-need-to-talk-about-venture-5cb Standing Plugs: ••• Order Jathan's book: https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520398078/the-mechanic-and-the-luddite ••• Subscribe to Ed's substack: https://substack.com/@thetechbubble ••• Subscribe to TMK on patreon for premium episodes: https://www.patreon.com/thismachinekills Hosted by Jathan Sadowski (bsky.app/profile/jathansadowski.com) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (www.x.com/bigblackjacobin).

This Day in Legal History: The Scottsboro CaseOn July 24, 1937, the state of Alabama dropped all charges against four of the nine young Black men known to history as the Scottsboro Boys—a small, belated measure of relief in one of the most notorious miscarriages of justice in American legal history, and a case that helped reshape constitutional criminal procedure. The nine, ranging in age from approximately 13 to 20, had been arrested after riding a freight train through Alabama in 1931 and falsely accused of raping two white women. Within two weeks, in a series of rushed trials before all-white juries, eight of them had been convicted and sentenced to death; the trial of the youngest, Roy Wright, ended in a mistrial when the jury could not agree on whether to impose death or life imprisonment.The extraordinary speed and unfairness of those proceedings produced two landmark Supreme Court decisions that still shape the rights of criminal defendants. In Powell v. Alabama in 1932, the Court held that the defendants had been denied due process because they had not received the timely and meaningful assistance of counsel needed to prepare their defense. The Court's holding was formally limited to capital cases involving indigent defendants incapable of adequately defending themselves, but it became a foundational step toward the broader right to appointed counsel later recognized in Gideon v. Wainwright. Then, in Norris v. Alabama in 1935, the Court overturned Clarence Norris's conviction because Alabama had systematically excluded qualified Black citizens from its jury rolls. Building on earlier equal-protection precedents, the Court made clear that a state could not accomplish through discriminatory administration what the Constitution prohibited it from doing expressly.The Scottsboro cases dragged on for years through retrials, reconvictions despite one accuser's recantation, appeals, and slow, partial releases. On July 24, 1937, Alabama dropped all charges against Willie Roberson, Olen Montgomery, Eugene Williams, and Roy Wright. Prosecutors expressly concluded that Roberson and Montgomery were not guilty; Williams and Wright were released principally because of their youth and the six years they had already spent imprisoned. The state continued prosecuting or imprisoning the remaining defendants.The significance of the Scottsboro saga is twofold: it exposed nationally how the Jim Crow justice system operated against Black defendants, and it forced the Supreme Court to give practical constitutional force to protections—meaningful representation by counsel and freedom from racially discriminatory jury selection—that we now consider basic. It is a reminder that some of the most important rights in American law were secured through the suffering of people who were themselves never fully given justice.Thomas Goldstein, one of the most prominent Supreme Court advocates of his generation and a co-founder of the widely read SCOTUSblog, is being sentenced today after a jury convicted him of tax evasion and mortgage fraud. Goldstein argued dozens of cases before the Supreme Court and built a celebrated appellate practice—but prosecutors showed the jury a hidden second life as an ultra-high-stakes poker player, in games running into the tens of millions of dollars. The jury found him guilty on 12 of 16 counts, including tax evasion, assisting in the preparation of false returns, willfully failing to pay taxes on time, and lying to mortgage lenders. The conduct is a case study in exactly the kind of sophisticated evasion I wrote about in Forbes this week: prosecutors said Goldstein concealed millions in poker winnings and losses, diverted his law firm's legal fees into personal accounts to cover gambling debts, and directed people to pay his creditors so the money never showed up as his income. That's not a wage earner whose taxes are withheld automatically—it's precisely the complex, hard-to-trace arrangement that takes real investigative resources to unwind. The Justice Department has asked for eight years in prison. The significance is a pointed reminder that the tax laws reach even the elite of the legal profession—and that when the government does devote the resources to untangle a sophisticated scheme, the accountability can be severe. A man who spent his career at the pinnacle of the legal system now faces the system's full weight.Star US Supreme Court lawyer Goldstein to be sentenced for tax crimes | ReutersThe Justice Department has dropped its subpoenas of New York Times journalists over their reporting on the Qatari-donated Air Force One—a striking retreat that came after a federal judge tore into nearly every aspect of the government's approach. We've been following this one: the subpoenas were issued July 10, days after the Times published its stories, seeking grand jury testimony and phone records to unmask the reporters' sources. At Thursday's hearing, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian pressed the government hard. He criticized prosecutors for hastily issuing subpoenas that the DOJ's own lawyers admitted were riddled with “inadvertent errors,” and he chided them for asking another judge to gag phone companies from telling the journalists their records had been subpoenaed—days after the department had already publicly confirmed the subpoenas existed. Faced with that skepticism, the government agreed to withdraw them. A Times lawyer called it “a great day for the First Amendment and a great day for the rule of law.” The significance is worth stating precisely. This wasn't a sweeping constitutional ruling establishing a reporter's privilege—the DOJ retreated before the judge had to decide the hard First Amendment question. But it's a concrete example of judicial scrutiny working as a check: when a court forced the government to justify subpoenas aimed at the press, the case collapsed under its own sloppiness and overreach. After a month of friction between the administration and the media, the press got a clear win.US judge to weigh New York Times subpoenas over Trump plane reporting | ReutersAnd finally, the pause on Paramount Skydance's roughly $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery has been extended—a federal judge has now frozen the deal through August 17. When we covered this earlier in the week, U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín had issued a short 14-day restraining order at the request of a dozen state attorneys general; now that freeze runs deeper into August, buying the court time to weigh the states' request to block the merger outright. The states' antitrust theory has sharpened. They argue the combination would lessen competition in three specific markets: wide-release theatrical film distribution, top-grossing theatrical distribution, and basic cable licensing—harming movie theaters, cable distributors, and ultimately audiences. Remember the framework: antitrust law lets courts halt mergers that would concentrate too much market power, and a pause like this preserves the status quo so the deal can't close before a judge decides whether it's lawful. The significance is that time is itself a weapon in merger fights. Every week a deal sits frozen adds cost, uncertainty, and risk for the companies, and it gives regulators and challengers leverage. Here it's state attorneys general—not federal antitrust enforcers—driving the challenge, and they've now kept one of the largest media mergers in history on ice for the better part of a month, with the decisive rulings still to come.Paramount-Warner Bros. deal paused through August 17, judge rules | Reuters This is a public episode.

What if time travel was as easy as a train ride to another state? Jessica M. Goldstein asks just this in RETRO, a fun and thought provoking novel about an out of work actress named Ash who gets a job as a travel agent for a time travel vacation company.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, I know better than this — so why do I keep doing it? Whether you stay up too late scrolling or you snap at people you leave, we all do things that don't help sometimes. Most of us assume we need to create a lifestyle overhaul to fix the issue. But my guest today says that's exactly why so many of us stay stuck. He says a series of tiny shifts is the key to breaking free from emotional loops. My guest is Dr. Elisha Goldstein, a clinical psychologist and the host of the Emotional Longevity podcast. His new book is Tiny Shifts. Some of the things we discuss are: What an emotional loop is — and how the four parts of it (thoughts, emotions, sensations, actions) trap you before you notice Why your most convincing thoughts are often the least accurate — and how your brain evolved to make it that way Why overhauling your life almost never works — and what "tiny shifts" do instead The 4R method and how Dr. Goldstein used it in real time when he got scammed on Facebook Why overthinking is a nervous system problem Why shame is baked into our culture and how to work with it instead of getting trapped by it The "slippery moment" when one loop turns into another and you assume nothing's working Why healing your childhood wounds doesn't require years of therapy The Therapist's Take: My top three strategies for making tiny shifts starting today Related Episodes ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 305 — How to Make the Biggest Changes With the Smallest Steps With Author Eric Zimmer ⁠194 — The Science of Small Wins: Why They Matter More Than Big Goals Links & Resources ⁠Tiny Shifts⁠ Connect with the Show Buy a copy of⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with Amy on Instagram —⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@AmyMorinAuthor⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Sign Up for My Newsletter —⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amymorinlcsw.com/newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Sponsors Helix Sleep —Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠helixsleep.com/STRONGER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to get 20% off sitewide   AirDoctor — Head to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AirDoctorPro.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and use promo code STRONGER to get UP TO $300 off today!

Albiona came into a podcast recording nervous, overprepared, and completely thrown off when the tech collapsed mid-interview. What happened next — what her guest did in that moment — stopped her in her tracks. And it's the same thing most parents are missing with their kids. In this solo episode, Albiona shares the story of what Dr. Elisha Goldstein did when everything went wrong, why it moved her so deeply, and how the same principle — helping someone feel truly seen through your own story — is one of the most underused tools in parenting. This one is personal, practical, and worth sharing. Inside, she explores: →  What Dr. Goldstein did when the podcast recording fell apart — and why his response was a masterclass in empathy that Albiona couldn't stop thinking about →  The difference between expressing empathy and actually helping someone feel seen — and why one lands so much deeper than the other →  How storytelling from your own life — not advice, not correction — is the thing that softens a child in a hard moment and makes them actually willing to move toward a solution →  Real examples: the homework battle that stopped repeating the moment Albiona shared her own childhood frustration, and what happened when her son finally felt understood →  Why kids who don't feel seen act out more — and how making someone feel seen is one of the most powerful connection tools you have, in parenting and in every relationship Connect with Albiona: →  Book a Free Discovery Call (1:1 Coaching) — https://www.theparentingreframe.com/coaching →  Follow Albiona on Instagram — @theparentingreframe →  Join Albiona's Paid Substack Community — https://albiona.substack.com →  Email Albiona directly — albiona@theparentingreframe.com Loved this episode?

Ecuador Isn't Just a Destination—It's a Fresh Start. What if one trip had the power to completely change the direction of your life? For author Lindsey Goldstein, that's exactly what happened. Long before she became a published novelist, Lindsey spent a gap year living in Ecuador—a decision that shaped not only her love of travel but ultimately inspired her debut novel, Gap Year. In this episode of The Travel Brats Podcast, Lindsey joins us to share how Ecuador became her second home, why she believes it's one of the world's most underrated destinations, and how travel has the power to transform us at any stage of life. Whether you're dreaming of hiking through the Andes, snorkeling in the Galápagos Islands, wandering colorful markets, or simply looking for inspiration to take that first leap into the unknown, this conversation is a reminder that adventure doesn't have an age limit.   Meet Our Guest Lindsey Goldstein is an author, traveler, and lifelong advocate for meaningful travel experiences. After taking a gap year in Ecuador as a teenager, Lindsey returned several times over the years—living in Quito, volunteering in the Galápagos Islands, conducting research, and building lifelong friendships along the way. Those experiences eventually inspired her novel Gap Year, a story about rediscovery, courage, and finding yourself through travel. During our conversation, Lindsey shared not only the inspiration behind the book but also practical advice for anyone considering Ecuador as their next destination.   In This Episode Here's what you'll hear during our conversation: Why Lindsey chose Ecuador for her gap year How living abroad shaped her confidence and independence The real inspiration behind her novel Gap Year Why Ecuador deserves a spot on every travel bucket list Lindsey's favorite destinations throughout Ecuador Solo travel tips and lessons learned Ecuadorian food you shouldn't miss Safety myths about South America Why it's never too late to reinvent yourself through travel   Why Ecuador Left Such a Lasting Impression Many travelers overlook Ecuador in favor of larger South American destinations, but Lindsey believes that's exactly what makes it so special. Despite its relatively small size, Ecuador offers incredible diversity. Within just a few hours, travelers can experience: The Andes Mountains Colonial cities The Amazon Rainforest Pacific beaches Indigenous markets The Galápagos Islands Very few countries pack so many unforgettable experiences into one destination. As Lindsey explains throughout the episode, Ecuador isn't just beautiful—it's incredibly accessible, welcoming, and full of opportunities for meaningful cultural connections.   Lindsey's Favorite Places in Ecuador Throughout the episode, Lindsey shares several destinations that continue to inspire her years after her first visit. Quito Ecuador's capital combines colonial architecture, rich history, incredible mountain views, and vibrant local neighborhoods. Lindsey recommends spending time exploring the UNESCO-listed historic center and riding the TelefériQo for panoramic views of the city.   Cuenca Often overlooked by international travelers, Cuenca quickly became one of Lindsey's favorite cities. Its walkable streets, charming cafés, beautiful churches, and relaxed atmosphere make it an ideal destination for travelers looking to slow down and experience everyday Ecuadorian life.   The Galápagos Islands For Lindsey, the Galápagos remain one of the most magical places on Earth. During the episode, she shares unforgettable stories about: Snorkeling with sea lions Watching giant manta rays Camping on an active volcano Wildlife encounters found nowhere else in the world Conducting research on the islands It's clear why the Galápagos continue to capture travelers' imaginations.   The Amazon Rainforest Lindsey also recounts one of the funniest stories from the interview—her mother's unforgettable reaction after discovering an unexpected frog inside their rainforest cabin. Moments like these remind us that the best travel memories often come from the experiences we never planned.   One of Our Favorite Takeaways Travel isn't just about seeing new places. It's about discovering new facets of yourself. Throughout our conversation, Lindsey returns to this idea again and again. Living abroad forced her outside her comfort zone. She learned Spanish. She navigated unfamiliar cities. She built friendships across cultures. She became more independent. Those experiences ultimately shaped who she is today. It's a powerful reminder that the greatest souvenirs aren't things—they're the confidence, perspective, and resilience we bring home.   Ecuadorian Foods Lindsey Recommends No trip is complete without trying the local cuisine. Some of Lindsey's favorites include: Humitas Quimbolitos Fresh choclo with local cheese Ají (Ecuador's beloved spicy sauce) Fresh tropical fruit from local markets She encourages travelers to explore neighborhood markets and family-owned restaurants to experience Ecuador's incredible culinary culture.   Is Ecuador Safe? One of the most common questions travelers ask is whether Ecuador is safe. Lindsey believes many of the concerns surrounding South America are based on outdated perceptions. Like any destination, Ecuador requires common-sense precautions. Stay aware of your surroundings. Research neighborhoods. Secure your belongings. Use reputable transportation. Trust your instincts. For Lindsey, those practices allowed her to enjoy years of incredible experiences throughout the country.   Why "Gap Year" Isn't Just for Teenagers Perhaps the biggest lesson from this episode is that reinvention doesn't have an age limit. Lindsey's novel centers on an adult woman whose life changes unexpectedly before she embarks on a transformative journey through Ecuador. The message resonates far beyond the pages of the book. Whether you're: Changing careers Recovering from burnout Becoming an empty nester Retiring Looking for a fresh start Travel has the unique ability to offer perspective, healing, and renewed confidence. Sometimes changing your surroundings changes everything.   Favorite Quote from the Episode "Travel isn't about escaping your life. It's about returning home with a new perspective."   Travel Brats Take One of the reasons we loved this conversation is because it reminds us why we started The Travel Brats in the first place. Travel isn't simply about checking countries off a list. It's about collecting stories. Meeting people. Stepping outside your comfort zone. Learning something new about the world—and about yourself. Lindsey's journey through Ecuador perfectly captures that spirit. Her experiences remind us that some destinations stay with us forever, shaping not only the memories we make but the people we become. If Ecuador wasn't already on your bucket list, we have a feeling it will be now.   Listen to the Episode In this episode, you'll hear: Lindsey's incredible Ecuador stories Behind-the-scenes inspiration for Gap Year Hidden gems throughout Ecuador Solo travel advice Ecuador travel tips Lessons on reinvention and resilience Listen wherever you enjoy podcasts, including Spotify and Apple Podcasts.   Resources Mentioned Book - Gap Year by Lindsey Goldstein Places - Quito, Cuenca, Otavalo Market, Galápagos Islands, Amazon Rainforest, Cotopaxi National Park, Mitad del Mundo   Continue Exploring Ecuador If you're planning your own adventure, don't miss these additional Travel Brats resources: The Ultimate Ecuador Travel Guide Complete Ecuador Packing List How to Visit the Galápagos Islands Best Things to Do in Quito South America Travel Tips Solo Travel Guide   Join the Travel Brat Tribe Love discovering destinations beyond the typical tourist trail?

James Cameron-Wilson says that, despite the heatwave, box office was up 72%, thanks to #1 Toy Story 5. Maintaining the franchise's fantastic quality, it is vastly amusing but also perhaps the most moving of the films. With a plot about the damage screens are doing to children, it has a joyful score, new characters and a stellar voice cast. At #12 is Virginia Woolf's Night & Day, with Haley Bennett an astronomer suffering the social mores of the day. It's a very loose adaptation, with plot, class and language all making it seem more modern. Although kinetic, it feels redundant, despite a great central performance. James wondered why it was made at all. He did, however, enjoy Netflix's Office Romance with Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein. Goldstein, famous from Ted Lasso, co-produced and co-wrote this romcom, which is silly and predictable but also an entertaining romp. Learn more about your ad choices.

Most parents know what they're supposed to do in hard moments. Stay calm. Set the boundary. Don't react. The problem isn't knowing — it's being able to access any of that when you're already in the thick of it. That's exactly what this episode is about. Albiona sits down with Dr. Elisha Goldstein — psychologist, mindfulness teacher, and author of Tiny Shifts — to talk about emotional regulation in the ordinary, unglamorous moments of parenting. Not the big overhauls. Not the lengthy routines. The small, doable pivots that actually interrupt reactivity, widen your capacity, and help you show up differently — starting today. Inside, they explore: →  What emotional loops are — the should loop, the shame loop, the comparison loop — and why naming them is the first step to breaking out of them →  Dr. Goldstein's four R's method: Recognize, Release, Refocus, Reinforce — and how to use it in real parenting moments, from rude teenagers to morning chaos to your own self-critical spiral →  Why self-care becomes one more stressor — and how to meet yourself in the moment instead of adding more to your list →  The two R's most people skip (Release and Reinforce) and why skipping them is why the method doesn't stick →  How a parent's emotional health directly shapes their child's ability to regulate — and why working on yourself is the most effective parenting move you can make About Dr. Elisha Goldstein: Dr. Elisha Goldstein is a psychologist, mindfulness teacher, and author of several books including Uncovering Happiness and his newest, Tiny Shifts. He has spent more than two decades helping people navigate stress, anxiety, and emotional well-being — and his work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, mindfulness, and practical everyday life.

The emergence of America's ruling class in Chicago to celebrate the Obama Presidential Center Museum hit like a gust of hot, wet wind. Just days before, tornadoes tore through Illinois and Iowa, upending homes and wreaking havoc on the landscape. By the time Barack Obama and his Royal Court were ready to roll out the red carpet, the skies had cleared.The building perfectly reflects how Obama might see himself, but certainly how he's ruled over the past 15 years. He still can't let go of his position as God and King of the once-mighty utopia, one I devoted most of my life to building, protecting, and defending. I was a true believer and a good soldier.Obtuse, mysterious, and opaque, the building, like its inspiration, towers over the indistinguishable figures below, the swirling paths and gardens, not blending into the landscape but rather projecting outward, with a kind of bulk you could even see from space. Not even a tornado could make a dent.The quote on the side of the mighty beast reads:You are America. Unconstrained by habit and convention. Unencumbered by what is, ready to seize what ought to be. For everywhere in this country, there are first steps to be taken, there is new ground to cover, there are more bridges to be crossed. America is not the project of any one person. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.' ‘We The People.' ‘We Shall Overcome.' ‘Yes We Can.' That word is owned by no one. It belongs to everyone. Oh, what a glorious task we are given to continually try to improve this great nation of ours.”The quote comes from Obama's speech, not in Chicago, but at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama. Most of the rest of it has been trimmed away to make the statement appear more inclusive, shall we say.But note the use of the word “We.” His speech was full of flowery language about how we have to come together as a country.The sitting president of the United States and the majority of Americans who voted for him were not invited to the party. Not only weren't they invited, but they're also not allowed anywhere at any time in a society largely controlled by the Left.No, Trump would not be allowed in, and he never really was, which goes a long way toward explaining why he won the second time. Trump feels like one of us, who have taken the shape of Obama's sworn enemies. We are rejected outsiders because this America, their America, depends on and is built around race and gender identity.Both Barack and Michelle Obama made a point of elevating the illegal immigrants who crossed over under Joe Biden and celebrated the citizen army that went to war on Federal officers, even after condemning such actions on January 6th.They prioritize the illegal immigrants because they are mostly non-white and thus have special protective status, as long as they vote blue no matter who, of course. And yet, for most Americans, they still don't understand why they've been sidelined like this. Once you understand the rules of utopia, where an endless supply of oppressed people, along with an endless supply of racists, is what powers their engine.It's an ideology that comes from Western countries overtaken by global elites, who need this form of virtue signaling to justify their power and their worldwide alliance, but it doesn't do much for ordinary Americans, who don't have the luxury of putting themselves last.It is a kind of class system that pretends to be about equality, about inclusion, and diversity, but really, it's a way of categorizing us and deciding our worth. If you can participate in this game, you can go far. But if you don't, out you go.Nate Bargatze dared to show up alongside RFK, Jr., and his wife, Cheryl. The internet found out about it, and things got so bad his publicist had to issue a statement that he wasn't a Trump supporter. What kind of America is this? If they want to talk about unity, they have to call off their attack dogs.It didn't used to be this way. Those of us who have been alive a long time remember when what mattered was the majority of Americans, the free market, democracy, and all that. Box office, ratings, and elections all decided the direction of our country and our culture. Not anymore.They want our country to look a lot like Obama's kingdom, epitomized by his Brutalist monument - he's way up there, and we're all way down here. If you worship that way, we'll all get along fine, they say, but don't you dare vote in a way we don't like, or we will go to war.So is that the plan from here on out? Must all elections be sanctioned and approved by the Democrats, or else?From Utopia to DystopiaObama was not born in Chicago, but his monument will reside there as a showcase of his preferred legacy. He's the Chicago guy, not the Hawaii guy.The fortress will be a place for travelers driving across this country to stop and admire, along with other historic landmarks in Illinois, like the birthplace of Abe Lincoln and Ronald Reagan, two of Obama's strongest influences, or so he has said.The Obama museum event was a reminder of how we all shaped this story, the bad guys and the good guys of Obama's Camelot - Obamalot - the height of the glory days, where everyone had a seat at the table and we'd mostly eradicated the “ists” and the “phobes.”I think Obama thought that making history as the first Black president meant more than just winning an election, and that the influence he had and the power he attained made him more than just a two-term public servant. He was, after all, living history, and everywhere we look, we can see his fingerprints.It was the play, Hamilton. It was Bruce Springsteen before he shrank into a bitter old prune. It was Tom Hanks when he could still open movies. It was when Oprah still had influence.They think that showcasing their high status while locking out so many Americans is enviable. It's U2 and Oprah. It's Julia Roberts and George Clooney. It's Jennifer Hudson and Steven Spielberg. It's all four former presidents and their First Ladies. Obama made a point of saying that they are all of like minds except one president, the one who defeated them again after their ten-year war.Who do these people think they are? They don't have the right to tell the American people who they can and can't vote for. It is their job to make their best case to us to earn our votes, and either they do, or they don't, but they work for us, not the other way around.Are we all supposed to cheer seeing them standing there as a united front against the sitting president? They have absolutely no self-awareness about how tone-deaf this appears to most people.Do they think we've forgotten? Do they think we don't remember Michael Moore calling George W. Bush a war criminal at the Oscars?Their terrible, blatant propaganda films like Oliver Stone's W.And Adam McKay's truly awful film about Dick Cheney, Vice, one of the worst films ever made, with the sole exception of his next movie, Don't Look Up.They're not finished. They expect the other half of the country to choke down more of it, unending amounts of it, in hopes of forcing all of us into compliance through the worst art the film industry has ever seen because it is under the complete control of a totalitarian movement.Next year, we'll be tortured with a sure-to-be-terrible Sean Penn film on January 6th.They still see themselves as fighting the oppressive forces against them when the truth is that they are the oppressive force. Trump was the way out.The clocks were striking thirteenIf any of us had been paying attention, we'd have known what we built mirrored Orwell's 1984 and where it would ultimately take us.Every word of 1984 was a cautionary tale. Co-opting and distorting language, check. A Goldstein-like figure to sell two minutes of hate, check. A mandate to love Big Brother or else, check. An inside of accepted citizens ruled by the party elites and policed by the children spies, check, the abandoned working class, the Proles, outside of it, check.Trump's win, to me, was like Winston Smith's hope for the future, should the Proles rise up.That Obama and the rest of the establishment did worse than refuse to step aside but went to war on the duly elected president in an attempt to impeach, indict, discredit, and destroy him is the smoking gun that they no longer believe in American democracy. It's their way or nothing. Americans have no way out.All the people ever had was Trump, and indeed, he was and remains a mighty force. He is the troll to Obama's virtue signal, the two internet presidents who led whole armies online, facing off against each other for 15 years.Obama's ten-year plea to the American people to choose him feels desperate by now. Choose me, love me, follow me, worship me. It doesn't mean America is racist because they didn't. That has been the Left's method of policing all of us for far too long, and this country can unify the minute they snap out of it.They want us to see them as the better side, the special people, our gods and goddesses. But I look at them and see people who have long since cut themselves off from the rest of the country and have no plans to ever change. The museum reflects that better than anything ever has. What is inside? It doesn't matter. It looms large.// This is a public episode.

This Day in Legal History: The Watergate BurglaryOn this day in 1972, at roughly 2:30 in the morning, a security guard at the Watergate office complex on Virginia Avenue in Washington named Frank Wills noticed that the latches on a stairwell door had been taped over and called the District police. The police arrested five men inside the offices of the Democratic National Committee on the sixth floor: James McCord, Bernard Barker, Virgilio Gonzalez, Eugenio Martinez, and Frank Sturgis. McCord was the security coordinator for the Committee to Re-Elect the President. Two days later, the FBI traced a $25,000 cashier's check found in Barker's bank account to the Committee to Re-Elect's finance chairman. The burglary itself was a third-rate one — bad lockpicking, surveillance gear that did not work, men carrying address books that linked them to the White House — but the legal consequences took two years to play out and rewrote large parts of American constitutional law in the process.The Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, chaired by Sam Ervin of North Carolina, conducted public hearings in the summer of 1973 that produced the disclosure of the White House taping system. The Saturday Night Massacre in October 1973 — Nixon's firing of Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox and the resignations of Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus — produced the legal scholarship that became the modern law of presidential removal and the Ethics in Government Act of 1978's independent-counsel framework. United States v. Nixon in July 1974 produced the doctrine that executive privilege is qualified rather than absolute and must yield to a demonstrated need in a criminal proceeding, a holding that is still the foundational separation-of-powers case the Court returns to whenever an administration claims that internal deliberations cannot be subpoenaed.The articles of impeachment voted by the House Judiciary Committee in late July 1974 produced the modern template for impeachment-as-constitutional-remedy that has been deployed four times since. Nixon resigned on August 9, 1974. The constitutional residue of what began with five men and a roll of tape in a Watergate stairwell is in the Federal Election Campaign Act amendments, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the Inspector General Act, the Presidential Records Act, the post-Saturday-Night-Massacre statute book that defines what limits an administration faces when it tries to use the criminal-justice system politically. Fifty-four years on, the question of how much of that residue has held up is, as the saying goes, the question.U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman of the Eastern District of Wisconsin on Tuesday denied former Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan's post-trial motion to vacate her December 2025 conviction for felony obstruction of a federal proceeding. Dugan had been charged after she let Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, who had appeared in her courtroom in April 2025 on a state misdemeanor, and his attorney leave through a side door of her courtroom after Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers had assembled in the public hallway to arrest him on a federal civil immigration warrant. A jury found Dugan guilty of obstruction and acquitted her of the lesser concealing-an-individual count.Her post-trial motion pressed two principal arguments. The first was that the Fourth Circuit's recent decision in United States v. Edwards — which addressed the scope of 18 U.S.C. § 1505 obstruction as applied to interference with administrative agency proceedings — applies to ICE warrant service and so the trial court should have given a narrower jury instruction. The second was that her conduct was protected by the doctrine of judicial immunity for acts taken on the bench. Judge Adelman rejected both. On Edwards, the court held that the Fourth Circuit's reasoning addresses a different statutory provision and a different agency context, and that Dugan's case is governed by Seventh Circuit precedent on the obstruction statute she was convicted under.On judicial immunity, the court held that the doctrine is a civil shield against private damages liability and does not bar federal criminal prosecution for affirmative conduct in aid of evading federal law-enforcement officers. Dugan's team has announced that the case will go to the Seventh Circuit. Sentencing is now back on the calendar. The appellate question that will dominate the briefing is the one Judge Adelman teed up: whether a state judge taking administrative action in the courthouse — guiding a litigant to a back exit — falls inside or outside the federal obstruction statute's reach when the action is calculated to defeat federal law-enforcement service. That issue has not been squarely decided in the Seventh Circuit. The case is going to be the vehicle.Ex-Judge Loses Bid To Undo ICE Obstruction Conviction | Law360A Maryland federal judge on Tuesday denied SCOTUSblog co-founder Thomas C. Goldstein's post-trial motion for acquittal or, in the alternative, a new trial on the twelve counts on which a jury had convicted him in February — tax evasion, assisting in the preparation of false returns, willful failure to pay over employment taxes, and false statements to mortgage lenders. The case is one of the more striking falls in modern Supreme Court practice. Goldstein had argued for years before the Court and was, for two decades, one of the most visible private SCOTUS practitioners in the country, with SCOTUSblog itself becoming the standard public-facing reference for Supreme Court news.The criminal case grew out of his recreational high-stakes poker, which prosecutors used to build out a pattern of unreported gambling income, gambling debts paid out of law-firm funds, and gambling losses claimed as business expenses. The post-trial motion principally argued that the trial court's jury instructions on willfulness improperly conflated the negligence standard with the higher mens rea Cheek v. United States requires in federal tax-evasion prosecutions, and that the court had wrongly excluded evidence going to Goldstein's claimed reliance on his accountants' advice. The court rejected both. On the willfulness instruction, the court found the instruction tracked the Fourth Circuit's pattern instruction on Cheek and made clear to the jury that a good-faith misunderstanding of the law was a defense. On the accountant-reliance evidence, the court held that the offer of proof was insufficient to establish that Goldstein had actually relied on professional advice in the particular omissions the indictment turned on, as opposed to relying on his own judgment. Sentencing is now the next event.The federal sentencing guidelines on the tax counts alone, with the loss amount the jury found, point to a substantial custodial term. Watch for an appeal that focuses on the willfulness instruction; that is the cleanest reversible-error vehicle in the record.SCOTUSblog Founder Goldstein Denied Acquittal Or Retrial | Law360A Delaware federal judge on Tuesday denied Guardant Health's post-trial motion to vacate, reduce, or stay enforcement of the $83.4 million jury verdict TwinStrand Biosciences won against it in late 2023 for willful infringement of diagnostic-sequencing patents covering duplex-sequencing technology used in liquid-biopsy cancer-screening assays. The court also declined to enhance the award under 35 U.S.C. § 284, even though the jury had found willfulness, reasoning that the multi-factor Read v. Portec analysis the Federal Circuit has refined in Halo Electronics and its progeny cut both ways here: Guardant's pre-suit notice and continued use of the accused technology supported some enhancement, but its defenses on infringement and validity, while ultimately rejected, were not objectively reckless.The decision is notable for two doctrinal reasons. First, it reflects how district courts are continuing to deploy Halo's discretion-based framework in the post-pandemic-era diagnostic-patent landscape, where the gap between objectively defensible defenses and reckless infringement is being drawn case by case in a way that is making certworthy issues for the Federal Circuit and, eventually, the Supreme Court. Second, it underscores the $83.4 million is significant but not transformative: the broader competitive question in the diagnostic-sequencing space is whether Guardant can design around the asserted claims fast enough to keep its cancer-screening assays on the market without paying a recurring royalty to TwinStrand. Guardant has indicated it will appeal to the Federal Circuit. Both the underlying infringement findings and the no-enhancement ruling are likely to be appealed in parallel — Guardant on infringement and validity, TwinStrand on the refusal to enhance. The verdict stands for now.Del. Judge Upholds $83.4M Patent Verdict Against Guardant | Law360My Bloomberg Tax column this week argues that the IRS's disclosure of taxpayer address information to ICE should be understood less as a narrow immigration-enforcement controversy and more as a tax-data governance failure.I argue that Section 6103 does not make IRS data impossible to share, but it does make confidentiality the default and disclosure the exception. That distinction matters because a statutory exception should not become a bulk-transfer mechanism whenever another agency wants access to IRS records. The IRS holds unusually sensitive information because taxpayers are legally compelled to provide it, so any interagency disclosure should require necessity, precision, security, and auditability on a record-by-record basis.The TIGTA report is troubling because the IRS apparently built an automated matching process that was vulnerable to bad ICE inputs, inconsistent formatting, malformed records, and weak matching rules. ICE also had unresolved safeguard issues and missed corrective-action deadlines before the data transfer. In my view, that combination means the problem was not simply that data moved; it was that protected taxpayer information moved through a process that treated matching quality and backend security as implementation details rather than core privacy protections.The broader point is that bad data inputs are not just a programmer's inconvenience. If the IRS relies on another agency's messy file to decide whether protected tax information can be disclosed, the quality of that file becomes part of the taxpayer-confidentiality analysis. Loose input standards and crude matching rules effectively expand the statutory exception beyond what Congress authorized.My proposed fix is straightforward: before the IRS discloses taxpayer information, requesting agencies should have to provide clean, structured, validated data; legally certify the need for each record; meet defined match-confidence thresholds; submit ambiguous cases for manual review; and accept strict limits on use, retention, and auditing. The column's central line is that Section 6103 exceptions should operate like locked doors, not loading docks.IRS Sharing Taxpayer Info With ICE Is a Data Governance Issue This is a public episode.

A tick bite that can trigger a lifelong allergy to red meat sounds almost unbelievable, but public health officials are taking the growing threat of alpha-gal syndrome seriously.  Robert Goldstein, ASTHO member and commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, shares with us why Massachusetts recently made alpha-gal syndrome a reportable condition and what the state hopes to learn through expanded surveillance. Dr. Goldstein explains how the spread of the Lone Star tick into parts of Massachusetts, including Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket, has led to rising diagnoses of the condition. The conversation explores how public health agencies are adapting traditional infectious disease surveillance systems to monitor a non-infectious condition, what the reporting data could reveal about emerging tick-borne risks, and how public health and wildlife officials are working together to better understand the relationship between deer populations and tick exposure.Leading Change Workshop - July 2026Prepared Together: Public Health Collaboration in Response to a Botulism Outbreak

Dawn Goldstein, M.Ed., is a literacy educator, wellness advocate, College of Education Professor at NSU Fischler, and Founder & CEO of Freely Reading — a platform built on the conviction that Literacy Is Liberation. What is sexual literacy, and how is it different from sex education? How does shame about our bodies and sexuality show up in your private life? You say "Sexual Literacy is Mental Health Literacy" — what do you mean by that? How does the behavior play out by a person who has been sexually abused? What are the key questions you ask someone who has been sexually abused? Dawn Goldstein Dawn Goldstein, M.Ed., is a literacy educator, wellness advocate, College of Education Professor at NSU Fischler, and Founder & CEO of Freely Reading — a platform built on the conviction that Literacy Is Liberation. With 30+ years of experience across K–12 and higher education, Dawn has spent her career naming the conversations institutions are afraid to have. Her signature framework — Sexual Literacy is Mental Health Literacy — challenges leaders, coaches, and educators to understand that what we don't teach about bodies, boundaries, shame, and agency doesn't disappear. It shows up in our teams, our relationships, and our leadership. Dawn's work moves people from shame to agency — and she believes that journey begins with learning to read the stories we were never given permission to tell.

If Part 1 was about the field of sexual medicine, Part 2 is about the marriage at the center of it. Dr. Jenni Skyler and Daniel Lebowitz return to their conversation with Dr. Irwin and Sue Goldstein, and this time, the questions get more personal. How do you stay married for fifty years? What does great sex actually look like across the decades? And what happens when a woman who has spent her career in sexual medicine starts experiencing low desire herself? Sue Goldstein opens up about her own journey through peri-menopause and the slow erosion of her libido- what she calls "duty sex", and the medications that brought not just her sex drive back, but a playfulness in her marriage she hadn't realized had gone missing. She walks listeners through her menopause toolbox of five treatments, explains why she's "76 and feels like she's in her 50s", and dismantles the lingering fears from the Women's Health Initiative that have kept generations of women in what she calls hormone prison. Dr. Irwin shares his own daily protocols for sexual health, why he believes most older men are leaving capacity on the table, and the surprising data from their own clinic- that more than half the Vyleesi prescriptions they write are off-label for men. They explore why dopamine is dopamine, regardless of gender. The reality of persistent genital arousal disorder. And a remarkable story of a teenage horseback rider whose chronic arousal turned out to be a herniated disc. This episode is full of practical wisdom, clinical innovation, and one of the most real conversations about long-term love you'll hear all year. The Goldsteins' secret to fifty years of marriage? Best friends, good sex, and the willingness to keep trying new things — including a chocolate sauce on the day before you change the sheets. Irwin Goldstein, MD, IF (he/him/his).

If you're a consultant, you probably know the feast or famine cycle: you look at the next three, six, or nine months and it looks fine. But beyond that, you have no idea what's going to happen. That's the cycle most consultants live in. But it doesn't have to be that way.

Dr. Irwin Goldstein didn't set out to become a pioneer of sexual medicine. He was a biomedical engineer turned urology resident who, as he tells it, asked one stupid question during a 1976 surgery: "Could you explain the physiology of erection to me?" The surgeon shrugged. Irwin spent the next decade figuring it out. Along the way, he co-discovered that nitric oxide, the elephant of our air, is what makes erections possible. He published the first paper on it in 1991. Seven years later, he became the first author on the New England Journal of Medicine paper that introduced Viagra to the world. But that's only half the story. The other half is Sue Goldstein, Irwin's college sweetheart turned partner in life, parenting, and eventually the practice itself. Sue spent decades raising their family while quietly absorbing the science her husband brought home. She is now an AASECT-certified educator, a published researcher, and one of the most outspoken patient advocates in the field. Together, they run San Diego Sexual Medicine, a clinic where every patient gets a three-hour visit, full education, and an entire team practicing what they call true bio-psycho social care. In this first half of our two-part conversation, Dr. Jenni Skyler and Daniel Lebowitz sit with the Goldsteins and explore how a field gets built, and how it still leaves so many patients behind. They cover prostate cancer and the silent erectile crisis that follows it. The buccal grafting innovation that's helping women with severe vestibular pain finally get answers. Why women, on average, see ten or twelve doctors before they get a real diagnosis. And Sue's pet peeve, medical gaslighting and what to do when a doctor says "there's nothing that can be done." This is a conversation for anyone who has ever felt unheard by a clinician, dismissed by their own body, or convinced they were the problem. The Goldsteins want you to know — you're not. You just haven't been to the right office yet.

In this deeply helpful episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich talks with Dr. Goldstein, psychologist and author of Tiny Shifts, about techno-stress, the overwhelm loop, why our bodies get stuck in urgency, and how small emotional pivots can actually change the way we move through stress, parenting, relationships, and daily life.
