We've all heard the phrase, “She believed she could, so she did!” It's intended to be motivating and encouraging, yet in practice, we see it leaves us wanting. My friend and a long time friend of The Good Day's is joining us — you might remember her from Summer in the Psalms a couple summers ago — Becky Beresford. In a world obsessed with self-empowerment, she's helping us remember where our true power comes from. Becky Beresford lives in North Carolina and is happily outnumbered by her husband and three wonderful boys. She is a writer, speaker, and coach with a Master's Certificate in Spiritual Formation and Discipleship from Moody Theological Seminary.

Nearly Half of People Now Ask AI for Recommendations.Press coverage helps AI recommend you because 84% of what AI tools cite comes from earned media, according to Muck Rack. And with 45% of consumers now asking AI for business recommendations, up from just 6% a year earlier (BrightLocal), being quoted in the press matters more than ever. In this episode, I'm joined by award-winning PR consultant Jo Jessop Maloney, who helped get my old business, The Children's Nutritionist, into the Telegraph, HuffPost, the Mirror, the Independent and so many more publications. I ask Jo why influencers so often get the quote instead of dietitians, and she walks us through reactive, trending and proactive PR, plus how to find your story when you're convinced you haven't got one. We also talk about what to do when the fear of what everyone will think feels louder than the opportunity.What you'll learn:- How press coverage helps ChatGPT and other AI tools recommend your business- Why journalists often quote influencers instead of registered dietitians- How to get featured in the press as a dietitian or health professional- The difference between reactive, trending and proactive PR- The importance of a media bio and content bank so you can answer journalist requests fast- When a press release is worth writing, and when it isn't- How to find your personal story angle without sharing more than you're comfortable with- How to handle the fear of judgement from colleagues when you start doing PRResources mentioned:- Muck Rack (2026).

A striking new poll finds Democrat Mary Peltola leading GOP Senator Dan Sullivan by 46-41 in the Alaska Senate race. This is big news: Because quality polling of Alaska is so rare, it's a real indicator that a Senate majority is now truly gettable for Democrats. The poll also finds Trump badly underwater and absolutely tanking with independents—in Alaska! The kicker? The survey was done for AARP by Trump pollster Tony Fabrizio, along with Democratic pollster John Anzalone, so Republicans will take it very seriously. Indeed, GOP panic is worsening: Republicans are privately talking about pulling money out of the Georgia Senate race. Other GOP operatives warn that the party is bleeding Latinos. One GOP strategist expressed the state of play by sending a poop emoji to a Huffpost reporter. And GOP Representative Nancy Mace said: “The midterms are going to be a f--king bloodbath.” We talked to John Anzalone, the Democratic pollster on the Alaska survey. He explains what the numbers really show about Trump's collapse, why he thinks Texas is “real,” and what he still fears could go wrong.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

This episode of The Becoming Podcast is for anyone who has felt like they've lost themselves in caregiving, or in the demands of midlife.  This month, author Kate Washington joins me on the pod to talk about her commitment to do 50 wild swims before her 50th birthday, the deeper meaning that commitment held for her, and the book she wrote about the whole thing. Before I dive into what we talked about in our interview, let me tell you a bit more about Kate: Kate Washington is the author of Midstream: A Life Remade in 50 Swims and Already Toast: Caregiving and Burnout in America. A frequent speaker on the systemic challenges facing family caregivers, Washington is also a longtime freelance writer who formerly served as the dining critic for The Sacramento Bee and associate food editor at Sunset Magazine. Her creative nonfiction, essays, and longform work have appeared in The New York Times, TIME, HuffPost, and many other outlets. She holds a Ph.D. in Victorian literature from Stanford University and lives in Sacramento with her two daughters, one very friendly dog, and one very unfriendly cat. Here's some of what Kate and I talk about in this episode: ✔️ The back story of how she arrived at deciding to do 50 wild swims before her 50th birthday, following many years of caregiving for her husband who had become very ill.  Kate shares about the day she told her husband she wanted a divorce, and about how wild swimming helped her reclaim her time, energy and selfhood after so many years of supporting everyone else ✔️ The challenge of claiming time to oneself when everyone around you has gotten used to you being available to meet their needs ✔️ How caregiving often ends up on women's shoulders, because of both our personal and societal socialization ✔️ The moment she realized that she didn't want to model the version of midlife, motherhood, and womanhood that she was living for her daughters ✔️ How Kate found that coming back home to herself meant remembering the things that used to bring her joy when she was younger, and how important fun, playfulness and pleasure was to this part of her journey ✔️ My favourite quote from our interview?  Kate said: "The biggest task of my midlife has been to reintegrate all the selves that I have been."  YES!  May it be so for all of us. Show Notes Kate's Website Kate's book, Midstream:  A Life Remade in 50 Swims Kate's first book, Already Toast:  Caregiving and Burnout in America The November Caplit event Kate's book will be featured at, for those local to the Sacramento area While you're at it, if you enjoy The Becoming Podcast, I would be so grateful if you would take a moment to rate, review and even subscribe to it wherever you get your podcasts. That goes a long way toward helping more and more people find and benefit from hearing these interviews.  Thank you so much!

Presented by Lauren Stibgen You truly can't take it with you. I am sure you have heard this statement before, but do you live it? Let's face it, no amount of accumulation of things, titles, or achievements here on earth can be taken to your heavenly home. How much are you thinking about the past and about the future rather than focusing on just this moment? All this overthinking can lead to feelings of an out-of-balance life and will steal the joy from the moment you are in. This mindset can be difficult. With the ever-present noise and connectivity of our culture, how can you refocus on the present? Job 33:4 reminds us: The Spirit of God has made us, and the breath of the Almighty gives us life. Pause a moment and think about the wonder of your life, and who gives it to you. Do you wake up each day with gratitude for the wonder of the breath in your lungs? Think about this­—you do not have any control of your breath. You can't earn your breath. You can't work for your breath. It is a gift that powers your body, which is equally wonderful. If you like scientific variables, a statistical analysis performed on the probability of your unique individual self being born is calculated as 1 in 400 trillion. (Ali Binazir[1]) While I am not a proponent of measuring what God creates, this human statistical analysis gives you an idea of how amazing you are! I can hear you almost saying to me, but Lauren the moment I am in right now it isn't filled with joy or peace or happiness! Understandably, if you are in a season of unexpected loss of a loved one, illness, job loss, you probably want to know when you will move past this time. This is why I have brought the focus down to the gift and wonder your life is! Finding gratitude and a moment of centering on this can help you truly know that God created you for a reason. He created you as a one of one. And, as a follower of Jesus Christ, he chose you as part of his royal family. Pray: God, thank you for the breath in my lungs! Thank you for creating me in your image and loving me so much that I know Jesus Christ as my Savior. I am thankful to be part of your royal family, and I rest in this today. So many things can bring our lives out of balance, but God can help root us in his truths that bring us peace. [1] Binazir, Dr Ali. “Are You a Miracle? On the Probability of You Being Born,” Huffpost, August 16, 2011

In this episode of The Everything ECE Podcast, Carla sits down with Cheryl Sutherland, founder of PleaseNotes, for a conversation about journaling, self-trust, confidence, and learning to pay attention to what we actually need.Cheryl shares why she once considered herself a “journaling hater,” how journaling can help us recognize patterns and make clearer decisions, and why the words we use with ourselves matter more than we may realize.Carla and Cheryl also talk about the very real overwhelm educators carry, the pressure to be everything to everyone, and what can happen when we acknowledge that something isn't working instead of continuing to push through it.And Carla makes a commitment during the episode: 30 days of journaling.

What if you could develop a deeper connection with Angels and discover a greater sense of spiritual guidance and purpose? In this episode of Spiritual Media Blog, I speak with Dr. Alisha Das, author of "Your Angelic Ancestry", about Angels, Archangels, spiritual connection, and what she describes as our Angelic ancestry. Dr. Das is an internationally known spiritual teacher and angel expert who bridges mystical experience with grounded transformation. Her work has been featured on ABC, NBC, CBS, Coast to Coast AM, The Shift Network, HuffPost, Thrive Global, and Vogue. She is also the host of Live Your Love, a podcast featuring conversations with spiritual teachers, bestselling authors, and transformational leaders. An ordained minister with advanced degrees and training in spiritual science, spiritual psychology, and transformational coaching, Dr. Das has led more than 500 spiritual seminars worldwide. She is also known for her ability to hear and speak what she describes as an Angelic language, which she says allows her to bring forward messages from the higher realms. Connecting with Your Guardian Angels Our conversation is highly interactive. At the beginning of the podcast, Alisha leads a guided meditation designed to help you connect with your Guardian Angels, become more aware of their Presence, and open yourself to inspirational and practical guidance. She also shares different techniques for connecting with Angels and discusses the importance of remaining grounded while exploring our spiritual nature. We talk about her new book, "Your Angelic Ancestry", which invites readers to explore what she describes as their Angelic ancestry, connect with the Great Archangels, and integrate their spiritual Self into everyday life. As Alisha writes in the book: “If you feel drawn to Angels, if you long to weave the sacred into your daily life, if you sense you came here for more — this book is for you…This book will help you awaken and integrate your own Angelic nature. You'll learn to connect with Archangels directly and intimately, discover your unique Archangelic Name, access your Angelic Ancestry, and perhaps even speak the ancient Angelic language — becoming both rooted and winged as your Spirit soars.” Whether you are already familiar with Angels or simply curious about exploring this dimension of spirituality, our conversation offers an opportunity to reflect and perhaps experience your own connection to Angels in a new and real way.

For World Patient Safety Day, Big Blend Radio's "Quality of Life" Show welcomes author Kenitra W. Dominguez to discuss her debut memoir, "Because I Deserve It: What Chronic Illness Taught Me About Finding My Voice in the Healthcare System" — out now. In 2021, a routine eye exam led Kenitra to an ER visit and, the next day, a diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) — a rare, incurable neurological condition. In this conversation, she talks with host Lisa D. Smith about what that diagnosis took from her, the racial and gender bias she encountered navigating the healthcare system, and the practical tools she built along the way: how to assemble a care team, how to prepare for a doctor's visit, how to request your medical records, how to ask for workplace accommodations, and how to trust your own instincts about your body. Kenitra W. Dominguez is the founder of Bay Equity HR, sits on the Advisory Board of the California Black Women's Health Project, and holds a master's in Work Law and Social Justice from UC Law San Francisco. Her work has been featured in The Washington Post, HuffPost, and Teen Vogue. Book (out now): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GX3131XK 

Chaque jour, en moins de 10 minutes, un résumé de l'actualité du jour. Rapide, facile, accessible.

Panic disorder isn't a flaw in your character—it's your body's alarm system misfiring. In this episode, Dr. Adam Rinde sits down with Dr. Nicole Cain, author of Panic Proof (published by Penguin Random House), to unpack the neurobiology of panic and reveal why the traditional medical model often misses what's really driving it. Dr. Cain breaks down the critical difference between fear, anxiety, and panic—and introduces her "stoplight strategy" (green, yellow, red) to help you recognize where you are in your activation cycle. The key insight: panic isn't the problem; what your panic is trying to communicate is. Drawing on trauma-informed principles and her own journey through panic disorder, Dr. Cain explains how your gut microbiome, hormone systems, and skeletal alignment all contribute to anxiety—and why treating only one system never works. You'll learn how to access her free Panic Proof audiobook through your library, explore her Root Cause Anxiety Method course, and discover why having an "ace in your pocket" (an emergency tool) actually empowers healing rather than enabling avoidance.---About Dr. Nicole Cain, ND, MADr. Nicole Cain, ND, MA is a leading voice in integrative approaches to mental and emotional wellness.

Treena reminds us why it's worth taking a chance on perspectives and voices we may not have encountered before: “The more we learn about things we don't know a lot about, the wider our sphere of understanding the world is.”Fun. Affordable. Safe. Inclusive. Not too much to ask from a dating app, right?Join us for a conversation about stigma, gender, dating, and what it might take to create more inclusive ways of connecting.Episode hosted by Dr. Carmen Logie.

Welcome to the SYNC Your Life podcast episode #357! On this podcast, we will be diving into all things women's hormones to help you learn how to live in alignment with your female physiology. Too many women are living with their check engine lights flashing. You know you feel "off" but no matter what you do, you can't seem to have the energy, or lose the weight, or feel your best. This podcast exists to shed light on the important topic of healthy hormones and cycle syncing, to help you gain maximum energy in your life.  In today's episode, I dive into a deep conversation with Anne Poirier on the topic of body image and how she went from self loathing to self acceptance. This is a powerful conversation and one every woman needs to hear. Anne Poirier, CSCS, is a nationally recognized Body Image Expert, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and author of The Body Joyful: My Journey from Self-Loathing to Self-Acceptance. With a degree in Exercise Science and over 30 years in health and wellness, Anne has turned her own recovery from eating disorders and body shame into a mission to help others find freedom and peace with food, movement, and themselves. A pioneer in the body neutrality movement, Anne's insights have been featured in Shape, Women's Health, The New York Times, Washington Post, HuffPost, ABC, FOX, CBS, and NPR. When she's not speaking, coaching, or writing, you'll likely find her barefoot on the beach, book in hand, or reminiscing about her days coaching college soccer.

Investment teams have access to more data than ever, but more information does not necessarily mean better insight. Analysts still spend enormous amounts of time gathering filings, reading disclosures, comparing earnings calls and reconciling information across disconnected systems. At the same time, market volatility, geopolitical risk and rapidly changing investor expectations are making traditional, backward-looking portfolio analysis increasingly difficult to rely on alone. In this episode of The WealthStack Podcast, host Shannon Rosic sits down with Af Malhotra, Founder and CEO of ReN, to explore how AI can help investment teams move from backward-looking analysis toward more forward-looking risk intelligence. They discuss ReN's approach to analyzing portfolios, why domain-specialized AI matters in financial services, how automation could reshape investment research and what the future of embedded, agentic investment intelligence could look like. Key takeaways: How AI can help uncover portfolio risks hidden across filings, disclosures and earnings calls Why investment research is moving beyond backward-looking performance data How ReN uses AI to identify inconsistencies, anomalies and changing risk signals Why domain-specialized language models may be better suited for high-stakes financial decisions How automation and agentic AI could reshape the future of investment research and advisor workflows Resources: Listen to WealthStack on Wealth Management Subscribe and listen to WealthStack on Apple Podcasts Subscribe and listen to WealthStack on Spotify Podcast: StraightTalk (ST) with Af Malhotra Connect with Shannon Rosic: Shannon Rosic WealthStack website Wealth Management Connect with Aftab (Af) Malhotra:  LinkedIn: Aftab (Af) Malhotra Instagram: Af Malhotra (@afmalhotra) X: Af Malhotra (@AfMalhotra) LinkedIn: ReN Website: ReN Website: Af Malhotra About Our Guest: Af Malhotra is a tech founder, active investor, and dedicated philanthropist.

He is also a guest lecturer at London Business School (LBS)  and Queen Mary's, University of London.

There was a time when HuffPost and BuzzFeed looked like the future of digital media. Both mastered the mechanics of internet distribution, attracted enormous audiences, and convinced investors that scale itself could become a durable competitive advantage. So how did two of the defining brands of the digital-media era end up shrinking so dramatically? Was the underlying business model always flawed, or did a series of strategic mistakes — from costly acquisitions to overreliance on platforms like Facebook — turn these promising companies into cautionary tales? To help answer these questions, I brought on Jason Krebs, a longtime media executive who has worked at some of the industry's biggest companies, including Google, Disney, The New York Times, and Condé Nast. He's spent decades watching media business models rise and fall, which makes him an especially useful person to talk to about an industry that keeps cycling through new theories about distribution and scale. We also discussed two very different approaches to building subscription businesses. Jason weighed in on The New York Times' experiment with an AI chatbot trained on its own archives and whether the reputational risks are worth it. And we dug into MS NOW's new subscription product, debating whether personality-driven hosts like Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes can convert their audiences into paying members.

Episode Description:This is a From the Archive episode with Arianna Huffington.Arianna Huffington returns to the show for a conversation about sleep, success, reinvention, and the cultural delusion that burnout is the price of achievement.James begins by asking practical sleep questions: Is nine hours too much? Can sleep be split into two four-hour blocks? Arianna explains that for most people, seven to nine hours is the real range, and that sleep should leave a person fully recharged, not limping through the day waiting for a second shift of rest.From there, James rewinds to Arianna's career. Before The Huffington Post, before Thrive Global, before The Sleep Revolution, Arianna had already spent decades writing, appearing on television, entering politics, changing positions, and reinventing herself. She credits her mother with giving her the belief that failure was not the opposite of success, but a stepping stone toward it.One of the central stories is Arianna's second book being rejected by 36 publishers. Out of money and unsure whether she should remain a writer, she walked into a bank in London and asked for a loan. The manager gave it to her. That small act kept her on the path.James and Arianna then talk about The Huffington Post: its rough launch, brutal early reviews, the team behind it, the importance of creating a platform, and the thrill of giving unknown people a chance to be heard. Arianna tells one of her favorite stories about a homeless teenager whose writing on HuffPost helped lead to Harvard discovering him.The conversation then turns to the 2007 collapse that changed Arianna's relationship with sleep. Arianna says the problem was not just personal overwork. It was a collective belief that sleep deprivation is required for success. But James pushes her on the personal side too, and Arianna acknowledges perfectionism: building a company, raising daughters, trying to be a perfect mother, and working through the night after college-tour days with her daughter.Arianna's answer is not a rigid sleep doctrine. It is a series of small steps. Build a transition. Remove devices from the bedroom. Lower the lights. Take a bath or shower. Read a physical book. Use gratitude as the closing scene of the day. If you wake up at 3 a.m., meditate instead of spiraling.The episode closes with joy. For Arianna, sleep is not only about health and productivity. It is about being present enough to experience life while it is happening.Editorial Note:This is a From the Archive episode.

CUJO is a podcast about culture in the age of platforms. Episodes drop every other week, but if you want the full experience, we recommend signing up for a paid subscription. Paid subscribers also get access to our CUJOPLEX Discord and The Weather Report, a monthly episode series where we take stock of where the cultural winds are blowing and tell you what's rained into our brains. Catch last month's episode, where we dig into the rise of “waiting-in-line culture” in cities across America, the Spotify vs. Kalshi saga, Lebron James' post-factual free agency, and more. Here at CUJO, we love ourselves a good topical film. And as far as hot-button topics are concerned, Our Hero, Balthazar, a new movie from Oscar Boyson and Ricky Camilleri, has it all: coastal elite vs. red state class antagonism, the performance of self on the internet, gun violence, toxic masculinity, MLMs, designer drugs, and more. Written during the internet-addled lockdown days of the pandemic, it follows Balthazar (Jaeden Martell), a wealthy private school teen and online “cryfluencer” from New York City who becomes a obsessed with Solomon (Asa Butterfield), a working-class internet troll he suspects is planning a school shooting, and travels to Texas to stop him.It's a crazy premise for a film, but what transpires ends up being a deeply believable exploration of what happens when you bring social media and the attention economy into one of the most challenging phases of life: adolescence. And while the subject matter isn't funny at all, the film, surprisingly, very much is. Balthazar hits streaming on Apple TV on August 11, so we're thrilled to have Oscar, who directed the film, and Ricky, who co-wrote and produced it alongside Oscar, on today's episode. You might know Oscar from his work as a producer on 2010s indie classics like Frances Ha, Good Time, Uncut Gems, along with the show Chillin Island, and Ricky from his work as a film commentator and video talk show host for media companies like HuffPost, but the pair have known each other since meeting at film nerd camp in their teens. We talk about how they came back together later in life to write Balthazar; why they chose to frame the movie, somewhat controversially, around the specter of a school shooting; and its unsparing examination of what it is like to come of age in a world where attention is currency.Plus: We get into the challenges they faced making a dark topical indie satire during a period of extreme risk-aversion in the film industry, the story behind the film's amazing Iceage needledrop, and how they drew inspiration from idiosyncratic coming-of-age films from the turn of the millennium like Larry Clark's Bully.

I'm also an avid hiker, a mom of two, and a lifelong Midwest resident. While working as a journalist for the last 25 years, I've gone through a lot of upheavals in the industry. But I learned that always means new opportunities — if you're willing to assume some risk. That's never been a problem for me. As the CEO and Executive Editor of Lincoln Square, I run one of the fastest-growing independent political publications in the nation. Each week, I host two shows, The Weekly Assignment, where we discuss the latest headlines and what we can do to fight back against authoritarianism, and First Draft, where I talk to journalists and authors about their important work and the stories behind them. As an expert on Michigan and national politics, I've also appeared on C-SPAN, MSNBC, CNN, NPR, NewsNation, the Australian Broadcast Corporation, Sky News, Jyllands-Posten (Danish TV), WKAR-TV's Off the Record and more. Previously, I was the founding Editor-in-Chief of the nonprofit Michigan Advance for over six years. I also served for five years as the Editor and Publisher of Inside Michigan Politics, the most-cited political newsletter in the state. And in a past life, I worked as a Democratic campaign strategist during the 2018 campaign cycle (which was a pretty darn good year for the party). My award-winning political analysis has run in more than 150 national, international and regional media outlets, including the Guardian U.K., NBC News, The New York Times, The Washington Post, RealClearPolitics, Salon, HuffPost, and The Detroit News. And you'll find me trekking in the mountains whenever I can break away. Why I Write Writer. Entrepreneur. Mother. Public Speaker. Political Analyst. Those are all just words to describe me. What you need to know, most of all, is what drives me to fulfill those roles. I've wanted to be a writer since I was seven, scribbling down observations about people and events in ratty spiral notebooks. My mother always told me that my unique ability to understand people and feel what they were going through was both a gift and a curse. I struggled for many years to make ends meet, especially before my first child was born. I wondered if I'd ever be able to contribute anything of value, something to make the world a better place. I found my calling in journalism, honing my craft for the last 25 years. Being a writer has always been who I am. But now it's also what I do. I have an insatiable curiosity to investigate what's going on in America and the world. I believe in speaking truth to power and following Mencken's rule to "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable." I've taken on the Old Boys Club in politics (and political journalism) and won, always preserving my integrity. All this has given me a distinctive voice and fearless style to communicate with people why things are happening and what can be done.

THIS was the most fascinating conversation!!!When you hear what I've got for you today, I think you're in for a surprise - a completely new way of thinking about private practice.I don't know about you, but it seems to me that - in general - we all assume that growth means seeing more clients, working longer hours, or opening another office. Because - what else could you do, right?Well — what if there were another way?I'm bringing back this favorite for our Summer Replay Series, when I spoke with Dr. Ajita Robinson, a grief and trauma therapist who has built an extraordinary mental health organization by thinking differently. Through strategic partnerships, genuine relationships, and an unwavering commitment to serving others well, she's created an 8-figure practice without sacrificing the life she's building.And yet - this conversation isn't really about building an 8-figure business.It's about building a business that's aligned with who you are.Along the way, Dr. Robinson shared how her early career in pharmaceutical sales unexpectedly prepared her for private practice (that's a funny story!), why people don't want to be sold to (they want to be served) and how understanding someone else's needs can open doors you never imagined.Whether your dream is to remain a solo practitioner, build a group practice, or simply create more freedom in your work, I think this conversation will stretch your thinking in all the best possible ways. It sure did that for me!

What if the strongest people you know are also carrying the heaviest burdens? Many women have spent decades holding families together, leading at work, caring for aging parents, supporting spouses, raising children, and showing up for everyone else. Somewhere along the way, they learned to hide their grief, disappointment, exhaustion, and heartbreak behind competence. In this deeply moving conversation, Dr. mOe Anderson welcomes fantasy author Justin Anderson (J. Vaelorin) to explore why so many women suffer silently, how grief changes us without defining us, and why storytelling can become a powerful form of emotional healing. Raised by remarkable women without a consistent father figure, Justin shares how his mother, sister, and grandmother shaped not only the man he became but also the compassionate writer he is today. His dark fantasy novels are more than entertainment—they're a therapeutic space where readers can safely confront grief, resilience, and hope. One of the most touching moments in this conversation is learning that Justin read Dr. mOe Anderson's personal HuffPost essay about living with cancer and was inspired to write the beautiful narrated piece "A Thread Pulled Too Tight," honoring the invisible emotional burdens carried by so many women. We encourage you to experience it yourself: https://vaelorinverse.com/a-thread-pulled-too-tight/ Whether you've experienced loss, caregiver fatigue, career disappointment, divorce, illness, or simply the quiet weight of always being "the strong one," this episode offers permission to acknowledge your pain while remembering Justin's powerful reminder:   "We are not broken." In this episode you'll discover: Why strong women often don't feel safe grieving openly The surprising connection between fantasy fiction and emotional healing Why different professions process grief differently Why more Baby Boomer women are embracing fantasy fiction How storytelling can help us process emotions we struggle to express The meaning behind Justin's life philosophy: We are not broken Memorable Quotes "We're not broken. We're being forged." "Fantasy doesn't help us escape reality. Sometimes it helps us finally face it." About Justin Anderson Justin Anderson writes dark fantasy under the pen name J. Vaelorin, creating stories that blend grief, hope, resilience, and healing into immersive fantasy worlds. His writing explores emotional truths through imaginative storytelling, helping readers recognize that life's deepest wounds can become sources of strength.

Pratap Chatterjee, executive director of CorpWatch, joins us to discuss their latest report, MAGA Inc., which identifies the Crypto Czars, the Tech Titans and the Prison Profiteers who have bankrolled and benefited the most from Donald Trump's corrupt regime. Then, Ralph welcomes Elliot Negin, executive editor of Money Trail to talk about how Donald Trump is trying to turn Washington DC into a monument to himself.Pratap Chatterjee is an investigative journalist, producer and executive director of CorpWatch, an organization that works to promote environmental, social and human rights by holding multinational corporations accountable for their actions. He is the author of several books, including Verax: The True History of Whistleblowers, Drone Warfare, and Mass Surveillance, Halliburton's Army, and Iraq Inc.: A Profitable Occupation.Palantir is really critical to understanding how the surveillance state works, especially in identifying people to deport and locations and people to kill in Trump's new wars overseas, such as in Iran…Palantir's data analytical capabilities are actually extremely simplistic and terrible. But when it comes to looking for an easy solution, that's what Palantir offers. And they've been able to offer this to the Trump administration—to have them speed up their political plans such as deportation, such as waging war against Iran by giving them easy answers.Pratap ChatterjeeThe biggest company behind the cryptocurrency used by criminals and drug dealers and gun traffickers has come out of the shadows, into the light, thanks specifically to the credibility offered by the Trump administration. And so this is really a sea change.Pratap ChatterjeeElliott Negin, executive editor of the Substack newsletter Money Trail, is an award-winning writer, illustrator and publication designer. Prior to co-founding Money Trail in February 2025, he was the managing editor of American Journalism Review, editor and art director of Public Citizen and Nuclear Times magazines, a news editor at NPR, and a regular contributor to HuffPost and the Union of Concerned Scientists' Equation. His freelance articles have appeared in The Atlantic, Common Dreams, The Hill, L.A. Progressive, The Nation, Scientific American, the Washington Post and other publications.It turns out that there is a government-owned ballroom less than a mile from the White House that would serve the purposes of a state dinner, which is one of the only events that you would need a ballroom for. If Trump builds a ballroom, it will not be used probably 360 days out of the year… To have a building that big that's going to be sitting empty for all that time makes no sense whatsoever.Elliott NeginRight now, the cost of this ballroom has been escalating… And half of it's supposed to be covered by taxpayers. Give credit to Public Citizen. It did a report that found out that more than half the donors that were identified as donating to the project when it was pegged at $400 million (including Amazon, Lockheed Martin, Palantir) have gained contracts with the federal government worth more than $50 billion in the last six months. That's a hell of a return on investment.Elliott NeginNews 7/3/26* Our top stories this week are the Colorado primaries. First, DSA-backed insurgent Melat Kiros successfully ousted 29-year incumbent Democratic Congresswoman Diana DeGette in the state's first congressional district, winning in a surprise blowout of over 13 points. Kiros, a 29-year old Tigrayan-American lawyer and PhD student, was fired from Sidley Austin – a “biglaw” firm in 2023, after she “posted an open letter defending students protesting Israel's war in Gaza from charges of antisemitism,” per Colorado Newsline. Axios reports many House Democrats, speaking anonymously, have bemoaned DeGette's loss, with one accusing Kiros of trafficking in “performative politics,” but Usamah Andrabi, spokesperson for Justice Democrats, one of the main groups that backed Kiros, put it simply when he said “If DeGette didn't deserve a primary, Denverites wouldn't have elected Melat” by double digits.* Also in Colorado, state Attorney General Phil Weiser easily defeated Senator Michael Bennet in the primary to succeed Jared Polis as Governor. While Weiser did run to Bennet's left, the real victory for progressives is that Bennet finishing out his own term means the Colorado Democratic establishment won't be able to appoint someone – likely a centrist member of the House – to replace him, per Axios. Meanwhile, John Hickenlooper, a Colorado Democratic institution won his primary as well, fending off a challenge from his left by state Senator Julie Gonzales. However, Gonzales came within 6 points of Hickenlooper, according to Colorado Public Radio, a tantalizingly close margin. Moreover, not only has Hickenlooper vowed that this would be his final Senate term, many are speculating that Bennet himself won't run when his term ends in 2028. That is all to say, it is possible we have not seen the last of Ms. Gonzales.* Speaking of Gonzales, much has been made of the fact that she “softly” distanced herself from DSA as she launched her primary campaign, per Colorado Pols. Perhaps maintaining that organizational relationship would not have resulted in her victory, but the stunning successes of DSA-backed candidates – including Melat Kiros in Colorado – speaks to the group's impressive organizational muscle. In fact, the group can boast of winning yet another seat in the New York State Assembly, with Maurice “Mo” Brown declaring victory against longtime incumbent Assemblyman Bill Magnarelli in the 129th Assembly District. Magnarelli held the seat for 30 years. Brown won by just over 100 votes after all the absentee and affidavit votes were tallied, according to Syracuse.com. With Brown's victory, DSA will send 16 members to Albany next session, nearly doubling its presence across both chambers of the state legislature.* More impressive than the electoral victories however is the fact that DSA members in office are delivering on their campaign promises. Most notably, in New York City, Mayor Zohran Mamdani has successfully forced a vote through the Rent Guidelines Board to enact a rent freeze for the Big Apple's 1 million rent-stabilized apartments, Time reports. These units make up a whopping 27% of the city's housing stock and house around 2 million people. Mamdani's predecessor, the corporate-friendly Democrat Eric Adams, pushed through rent hikes via the guidelines board, raising the rent by 12.6% over the course of his term in office. Mamdani called this the “relief that working people across our city deserve.” This move has, predictably, drawn the ire of landlords and their industry representatives, but there is no denying that the people of New York City voted for Mamdani in large part for this exact policy and he delivered.* In Congress, another socialist – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – is fighting for key amendments to the must-pass National Defense Authorization Act. These run the gamut from prohibiting the transfer of weapons to countries hampering the delivery of humanitarian aid, such as Israel, to demanding that the Secretary of Defense conduct declassification reviews or release unclassified reports on American assistance to the dictatorship in Brazil and the coup in Chile, barring Pentagon funds from being used to enforce sanctions on Cuba, and many more. As the scope of national legislation has narrowed in recent decades, amendments to massive flagship funding bills like the NDAA have become a primary means of getting legislation through the gridlock. It is very encouraging to see AOC take advantage of this mechanism to force votes on these issues.* Of course, the centrists will not simply cede power to the left without a fight. Yahoo reports 13 Democratic House members and candidates have signed onto what they are calling the “Promise to America,” consisting mainly of vague commitments to principles like “Growth, Competition, and Broad Prosperity,” or “Safety, Security, and Human Dignity.” They have also stepped up their rhetoric, saying “there's going to be a war” between themselves and the new crop of progressive and DSA lawmakers, per Fox News. Of course, this all makes one wonder whether the Democrats would be in this position at all if they were this confrontational with the Republicans instead of their own voter base.* Another emerging theater of combat between the center and the left is the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. The CHC is led by the lame duck New York Congressman Adriano Espaillat, who was defeated in his primary by Darializa Avila Chevalier. Both Espaillat and Avila Chevalier – or DAC as she has come to be known – are Dominican, despite Espaillat's last-minute smear campaign calling her Haitian, and she plans to join the CHC once she takes her seat in the House. Yet, POLITICO reports the CHC is divided about admitting DAC. While no member is going so far as to say outright that she should not be admitted, many, such as CHC Whip Sylvia Garcia of Texas, are saying things like if DAC is “aligned with all our priorities and all our legislative programs, we would welcome her.” Of course this raises the question of if she is not, would they still welcome her. The all-Democratic CHC has previously barred the entry of Republican Hispanic Congressman Carlos Curbelo of Florida and the Congressional Black Caucus barred Espaillat himself from joining after a feud between him and former Congressman Charles Rangel. In addition to DAC's accession, the CHC will also have to decide on a new leader with Espaillat gone. The Vice-Chair, Darren Soto of Florida, may lose reelection due to redistricting in Florida, leaving the seat up for grabs.* In more Florida-related news, on June 25th Florida Governor Ron DeSantis formally announced the closure of “Alligator Alcatraz” the immigrant detention facility much hyped in the early days of the second Trump administration. While DeSantis claims that the facility had simply “fulfilled the role it was designed to serve,” there is an alternate story being told in the native community. Native News Online has published a statement by Judith LeBlanc (Caddo), executive director of Native Organizers Alliance, which highlights that the facility was constructed and operated “in violation of the sovereign rights of the Miccosukee Tribe, who took the government to court for illegally constructing the center without their consultation or consent,” and hailed the closure as “a victory for human rights and Tribal Sovereignty.” The statement further decried “The administration's violent crackdown on migrant communities” as “an affront to all we stand for as Native peoples.”* Turning further south, the Guardian is out with a chilling story concerning the death of Monika Silva Koniuszek, a Polish anti-corruption activist, who was supposedly investigating self-dealing within the ruling Noboa family of Ecuador. According to her colleagues, Silva Koniuszek was investigating “Noboa Trading, the fruit conglomerate belonging to the family of the rightwing president, Daniel Noboa.” Specifically, they said she had been pursuing allegations that “several tonnes of cocaine had been seized in Noboa Trading banana containers,” and that “high-ranking Ecuadorian judicial officials were stalling the investigations.” Additionally, “Shortly before she was killed, she told friends that she had delivered a dossier of allegations to the US embassy in Quito.” Koniuszek was found dead with a noose around her neck, and Ecuador's interior minister announced that she had died by suicide even before the autopsy results were released. Once those results came out, they contradicted this claim, finding that her cause of death was “a blow to the head and strangulation.”* Finally, in neighboring Colombia, leftist candidate Ivan Cepeda, who lost the recent presidential election, has called on the people of that country to engage in mass civil disobedience, according to Jorge Bastidas, a Colombian Congressman and member of Cepeda's party. Specifically, Cepeda is demanding that the Colombian people not recognize the presidency of Abelardo de la Espriella unless and until he meets certain demands, including renouncing his U.S. nationality, disproving claims that he is a CIA collaborator, and vowing not to persecute and extradite his political opponents including outgoing President Gustavo Petro. Cepeda has stressed that this mass action, if pursued, will be peaceful.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.
