Just two days after the deadly ICE shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis, several videos, shot from different perspectives have been released to the public, including video taken by the shooter, which many on the political right claim supports the argument that the ICE agent was defending himself when he shot and killed Good in her car. Jen Psaki synchronizes several videos for a closer analysis of what the shooter's video actually shows, and what the videos tell us about what Good was doing when she was killed.Senator Amy Klobuchar talks with Jen Psaki about the challenges her state has dealt with recently in the national spotlight and how the people of Minneapolis are dealing with the killing of a mother of three by an ICE agent, as well as potential solutions in the Senate to address Donald Trump's abuse of the immigration issue and the ICE agents making residents less safe and more afraid.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260110dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion [God] chose us in [Jesus] before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will—to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. Ephesians 1:4-6 Chosen by God Do you remember the feeling? You are preparing to play kickball during recess at school. Two captains are choosing players for their teams. They start with the best athletes. Was that you? Or were you picked later? Maybe even last? If God were picking teams, would you be chosen? There are days when you think, “Of course I would! I try my hardest. I’m honest, kind, and caring, just the kind of person God would want on his team.” And maybe you go to church, sing in the choir, and volunteer to serve in many ways. God should not only pick you but should name you MVP—Most Valuable Person. But there are other days—or parts of every day—when you realize that you don’t even deserve to be picked last. You shouldn’t even get a spot on the bench. So often, you hurt those around you with what you say or don’t say, with what you do or don’t do. With your life, you say to God, “I want to play by my own rules.” If God were picking teams, why would he choose you? But God did choose you! God’s choice was not based on your ability or performance. His choice, which he made before the creation of the world, came from pure love. He gives you that love freely, generously, and without condition. How comforting that is! It is all in God's hands. It is all because of God’s love. In love, God chose to send his Son, Jesus, to take away your sins and failures, so that you are holy and blameless in his sight. In love, God chose to adopt you as his own child through faith in your Savior, Jesus. In love, God chose to give you an eternal inheritance and a home with him in heaven. Praise God for his loving choice! Prayer: Father, I thank you that, in awesome and undeserved love, you chose me to be your child. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Donald Trump's lawlessness is rivaled only by his dangerousness and proclivity to destabilize around the globe. The Trump administration invaded Venezuela and abducted Nicolas Maduro and his wife. Then, Trump announced that the "US will run Venezuela". Military and civilian authorities, academicians and other experts are weighing in and concluding that Trump's action violates international law. There will be much to unpack in the coming days, but, given that an American president has no lawful right to invade, seize control of and "run" a sovereign nation, well, if this ain't the stuff of impeachment, then what is?

Grab your favorite drink, get comfortable, and get Obsessed with creating the life you were meant to live. What Is the Law of Attraction? (00:00:00 – 00:01:51) At its core, the Law of Attraction is based on one simple truth: Your thoughts and feelings create your reality. Everything you experience—relationships, career opportunities, confidence, abundance—begins with your internal world. The Law of Attraction teaches that like attracts like, meaning the energy you put out is the energy you receive back. Thought alone isn't enough.Aligned action is what activates manifestation. The Core Mechanics of the Law of Attraction Positive vs. Negative Energy Your mindset acts like a magnet: Positive thoughts and emotions attract opportunities, growth, and aligned people Negative thoughts and self-talk attract resistance, fear, and limitation Awareness is the first step to shifting your energy. The 3 Steps to Manifestation: How the Law of Attraction Works (00:03:51 – 00:05:11) Step 1: Ask Be crystal clear about what you want. Manifestation tools include: Writing your desires down Visualization practices Feeling the emotion of already having it Clarity creates momentum. Step 2: Believe Belief is the bridge between desire and reality. Trust the process Release doubt and fear Act as if your desire is already unfolding Belief isn't passive—it's intentional confidence. Step 3: Receive This is where many people get stuck. Stay open to opportunities Practice gratitude for small wins Say “yes” when alignment shows up Receiving requires trust and readiness. Manifesting in Real Time: Daily Practices That Work (00:05:11 – 00:09:10) To activate the Law of Attraction consistently: Practice daily visualization Cultivate gratitude rituals Eliminate negative self-talk Take inspired action, even when it feels uncomfortable Manifestation is not magic—it's momentum.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260109dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:13-14 God Made the Down Payment How do you go about paying for a new house? You deposit a portion of the cost for the house up front, right? You make a down payment. However, even though you still haven’t paid in full, you already get to move into the house. You get to live in it and enjoy it. You get to make it your own. You don’t have to wait to pay the full amount to make the house your home. Of course, many years later, when you one day make the final payment on your home, there’s a special joy and satisfaction in knowing the home is completely owned by you. There’s no one else with a claim on it at all anymore. Maybe buying a house can help you understand what God is telling you here in Ephesians chapter 1. When you believe in Jesus, you’re marked with God’s seal—the Holy Spirit himself. The Holy Spirit enters your heart as God’s down payment and guarantees your full future redemption to come. Before reaching your ultimate salvation on the Last Day when you sit at your Lord’s feet in heaven, already now, by faith, the Holy Spirit dwells in your heart. That means you now get to enjoy the blessings of God: to taste his forgiveness, to have a hope that presses you forward, to know a love that has no limit. This is just the down payment that guarantees so much more. Your eternal salvation is sealed already by the Spirit dwelling in you. God guarantees a future for you. The Holy Spirit has made your heart his home, and that means you are God’s special possession today and in eternity. Prayer: Dear Holy Spirit, I thank you for making my heart your home and for guaranteeing me a future with you and the Father and the Son. That you would do this, even for a sinner like me, shouts your praise and glory to the ends of the earth. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

New camera footage emerged from the fatal shooting involving an ICE officer in Minneapolis. Footage from the officer's POV shows how dangerous the situation was as the driver accelerates directly at him. Law enforcement of all kinds receives very little appreciation for the dangerous situations they encounter everyday. Congressman Dan Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL gives his take as left-wing media and Democrats paint a shameful picture of the ICE agent involved. Democrats are using hyperbolic language on President Trump's actions in Venezuela. The indictment on Nicolás Maduro has been in place since 2020 and his extraction from Venezuela is legally justified. The current Vice President of Venezuela Delcy Rodríguez is a Communist that hates the United States and western ideologies. President Trump's motives are to align Venezuela with U.S. interest when it comes to oil and resources and it is yet to be seen if Rodríguez will cooperate with the United States. It was hours before Congressman Crenshaw was set to fly to Nashville before Shawn Ryan cancelled his appearance on The Shawn Ryan Show. He is bringing the receipts today to clear up rumors of insider trading and exactly what went down between himself and Shawn Ryan. Featuring: Rep.

In typical "tail-wagging-the-dog" fashion, Donald Trump tries to distract the attention of the American people from his many and mounting problems by launching an unlawful attack on a foreign sovereign nation, Venezuela.He then goes on TV on the morning of January 6th 2026, and gives a long, rambling press conference - his decline and dementia on full display - and tries to distract the American people from the fact that today marks the fifth anniversary of Trump's attack on and refusal to stop once in progress the United States Capitol. But Trump's distractions will fail. The people of the United States, who are dedicated to the rule of law and determined to preserve American democracy, will not be distracted. To that end, a group of us will be at an event at the National Press Club in DC to commemorate the January 6 anniversary.The event is being hosted by Jim Acosta and can be live streamed on Jim's Substack and YouTube channels.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a lawyer looking to become better at video marketing? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, marketing expert Ryan Webber addresses lawyers at the MaxLawCon event, urging them to embrace video marketing to grow their practices in 2025. He debunks common excuses lawyers have for avoiding video, shares the success of his wife's real estate law YouTube channel, and highlights how video content builds trust and attracts clients. Marketing has changed over time and more so with the rise of the internet and social media. Many people are looking you up before they call you to get to know you and your business better. Because of this, it is important to have a presence online and have a good marketing strategy. Many lawyers have excuses for why they don't want to be on social media or record videos as part of marketing. Whether it be not knowing how to act on camera or how to edit, not focusing on marketing can keep you from making money and getting a good reach.When focusing on marketing, it is important to build a moat. A moat is doing something different and unique that AI or your competitors can't do. Think about something that makes you stand out from others. Maybe it's your creativity or the type of camera equipment you use when making videos. This will make it difficult for people to copy you. Viewers love paying attention to things that are different and unique, so create something only you can do!Listen in to learn more!1:10 The Evolution of Marketing & Online Presence4:59 Debunking Video Excuses10:38 The Power of Video Reach14:13 Educational vs. Entertainment Content16:17 Building a Moat & Unique Value Connect with Ryan:Podcast InstagramThreads YoutubeYouTube BlueprintTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.
The "Law of First Things," as preached by Papa, emphasizes the spiritual principle of dedicating the initial portions of one's life to God to secure divine favor and blessing over the entirety. This concept is applied in various practical ways, such as dedicating the first hour of the day, the first day of the week, and the first month of the year to spiritual practices like prayer and focus on God. By adhering to this law, it is believed that individuals align their lives with God's design, inviting divine guidance and authority over their entire existence.
On Jan. 2, 2016, a dozen armed anti-government militants led by Ammon Bundy and his brother, Ryan, took over the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge headquarters outside of Burns in Harney County. The 41-day siege at the bird sanctuary in rural Eastern Oregon attracted national and international media attention. On Jan. 26, one of the militants, Arizona rancher Robert “LaVoy” Finicum, died during an armed confrontation with the FBI and Oregon State Police. Law enforcement also arrested the Bundys and several of their supporters that day, although prosecutors failed to secure convictions of the Bundys and five other defendants during a trial in the fall. OPB legal affairs reporter Conrad Wilson and OPB visual journalist Eli Imadali recently traveled to Harney County to see how the Malheur occupation reverberates within the community 10 years later. Wilson joins us to share what he learned and the perspectives of former officials and community members he spoke with about the occupation and the challenges the county grapples with today.
Prior to the U.S. attacks that dislodged president Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela, American forces have for weeks been blockading U.S.-sanctioned ships carrying Venezuelan oil. In mid-December, the United States began boarding, and seizing, tankers in the so‑called “shadow fleet” that move sanctioned oil across the globe, starting with stateless vessels. In a dramatic turn, this week the U.S. Coast Guard, with U.S. and allied military support, intercepted and boarded two Russian-flagged oil tankers in international waters, prompting protests from Moscow.Can the U.S. lawfully board and seize Russian‑flagged merchant ships? What does international maritime law, and the law of naval warfare, have to say about actions like these? To unpack the legal and geopolitical stakes, host Tess Bridgeman speaks with Rob McLaughlin, professor at the Australian National Centre for Ocean Resources and Security and the ANU College of Law, who previously served as both a Seaman officer and Legal officer in the Royal Australian Navy, including in senior roles such as Fleet Legal Officer, Strategic Legal Adviser, Director of Operations and International Law, and Director of the Naval Legal Service.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260108dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us. Ephesians 1:7-8 The Adoption Price is Paid Adoption isn’t cheap. Apparently, the average cost of adopting a child in the United States is roughly $40,000! You can’t choose to adopt a child on a whim. If you’re going to adopt, then you need to plan, budget, and be deeply committed. God knew the price he’d have to pay to adopt you as his own. He knew what it would take, and he paid it. He was, and still is, deeply committed to making you, his child. God’s love for you is unquestionable, and it’s also unreasonable. On top of the steep price it took to adopt us; we were problem children. We weren’t the ones you’d have an easy time adopting. We weren’t like the cutest kittens and puppies at the shelter that got all the attention. No, we were the ones that were malnourished, feral, matted, and smelly. Our sins make us repulsive when we consider just how far we fall short of God’s standards for perfection. There’s nothing in us that should have made us attractive to him. There’s no phone filter out there that could hide who we truly are. And yet when God puts on his Jesus-tinted glasses, when he sees us through the Jesus filter, he says, “Yes, this one is the one I want. I’ll take her. I’ll take him. No matter the price, I’ll pay it.” And he did. As the blood ran from Jesus’ hands and feet and head and side, the payment was made. When the words were spoken “It is finished,” the purchase price was paid in full. He forgave us. We were redeemed, in other words, bought back from the sins that claimed us. Not only did God purchase us, but he also changed us. We’re no longer the problem child or the feral pet—but pure, cleansed by our Savior, made to look like one of God’s own possessions. That payment made for you at the cross, that forgiveness won for you by Jesus, is the ultimate picture of the lavish riches of God’s grace. Prayer: Dear heavenly Father, thank you for making me your child by giving up your only Son for me. Help me reflect your lavish grace to the world. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

No Priors: Artificial Intelligence | Machine Learning | Technology | Startups
Even if ChatGPT never existed, the tech giant NVIDIA would still be winning. The end of Moore's Law—says NVIDIA President, Founder, and CEO Jensen Huang—makes the shift to accelerated computing inevitable, regardless of any talk of an AI “bubble.” Sarah Guo and Elad Gil are joined by Jensen Huang for a wide-ranging discussion on the state of artificial intelligence as we begin 2026. Jensen reflects on the biggest surprises of 2025, including the rapid improvements in reasoning, as well as the profitability of inference tokens. He also talks about why AI will increase productivity without necessarily taking away jobs, and how physical AI and robotics can help to solve labor shortages. Finally, Jensen shares his 2026 outlook, including why he's optimistic about US-China relations, why open source remains essential for keeping the US competitive, and which sectors are due for their “ChatGPT moment.” Sign up for new podcasts every week.

Send us a textMost contact centers still believe scoring more calls means better QA.It doesn't.In this episode, we start with the Law of Large Numbers and break down why scoring 100% of calls doesn't give you better insight. It just gives you more work. We talk about where the push for full coverage really comes from. Fear. Compliance pressure. Old spreadsheet thinking. And why that mindset quietly hurts coaching, accuracy, and confidence.We also cover what the data actually shows, how statistical sampling works in the real world, where AI helps and where it doesn't, and what QA should really be optimizing for.If your QA program feels busy but not effective, this episode will make you rethink how many calls you really need to score.

Welcome back to Lawyer Talk! On this special edition episode, hosts Steve Palmer and law student Troy Henricksen tackle the breaking and deeply tragic shooting involving an ICE officer in Minnesota.With raw emotion running high and the social media machine already passing judgment, Steve Palmer and Troy Henricksen set out to strip away the noise and confusion, providing a clear analysis of what actually happens legally after a police shooting like this.They look into the critical difference between how the law treats deadly force by a civilian versus a police officer, walking through self-defense standards, justification defenses, and landmark Supreme Court rulings like Graham v. Connor.You'll hear them debate both sides, untangle the legal elements involved, and explore what it means when state and federal authorities disagree on prosecuting an ICE agent.Most importantly, they break it all down without the politics—just the facts, legal standards, and framework you need to better understand the chaos and complexity when headlines erupt after a law enforcement shooting.As always, they're here not to take sides, but to help you make sense of the process.Moments00:00 "Civilian Self-Defense Legal Analysis"03:44 "Ohio Self-Defense Laws Explained"07:08 Self-Defense or Fault?10:47 "Understanding Real-Time Defendant Perspective"13:00 "Justification Defense in Murder Case"16:18 "Reasonableness of Police Force"19:52 The Dangers of Police Chases24:05 "Debating Crime Severity in Law"28:29 "Justified Force and Legal Debate"29:58 "Dual Sovereignty and Prosecution"35:23 "Analytical Framework for Complex Decisions"Key Takeaways:Legal Standards Are Crucial: Emotional reactions are expected, but the real decisions will follow established legal standards. The actions of law enforcement are viewed under a different framework than those of civilians, making the analysis more nuanced than social media quick takes might suggest.Objective Reasonableness Is the Benchmark: In police shooting cases, courts rely on the "objective reasonableness" standard set by the U.S. Supreme Court (Graham v. Connor). This means the officer's actions are judged by what a reasonable officer would do under tense, split-second circumstances—not perfect hindsight.Jurisdictional Complexities Can Shape Outcomes: Even if the federal government decides not to charge the officer, Minnesota authorities might still pursue prosecution. However, immunity issues and federal supremacy mean any state-level charges could lead to complicated federal-court battles over whether the officer was acting within the scope of federal duties.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

In typical "tail-wagging-the-dog" fashion, Donald Trump tries to distract the attention of the American people from his many and mounting problems by launching an unlawful attack on a foreign sovereign nation, Venezuela.He then goes on TV on the morning of January 6th 2026, and gives a long, rambling press conference - his decline and dementia on full display - and tries to distract the American people from the fact that today marks the fifth anniversary of Trump's attack on and refusal to stop once in progress the United States Capitol. But Trump's distractions will fail. The people of the United States, who are dedicated to the rule of law and determined to preserve American democracy, will not be distracted. To that end, a group of us will be at an event at the National Press Club in DC to commemorate the January 6 anniversary.The event is being hosted by Jim Acosta and can be live streamed on Jim's Substack and YouTube channels.

The book of Deuteronomy is a series of sermons Moses preached just before he died. In it, he lays out, in the most comprehensive and practical way, how you should live if you experience the grace and salvation of God. If you experience God, how should that actually affect the way in which you live your life? It's a very, very practical book and an incredibly comprehensive book. Today, we get to the Ten Commandments. This is one of the most influential texts in the entire history of the world. Let's take a look and see what we're taught about it. It's awfully basic, but it's awfully basic because it's awfully important. There are four things we're going to learn here about God's Law: 1) the origin of the Law; 2) the substance of the Law; 3) the problem of the Law, and 4) the solution to that problem. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 27, 2007. Series: Deuteronomy – Doing Justice, Preaching Grace. Scripture: Deuteronomy 5:6-21, 24-29. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.

The president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, just made his first court appearance in federal court in New York. By all accounts, Maduro is a bad guy. However, the rule of law and the protections of our Constitution apply to bad guys. There's no bad guy exception to the protections enshrined in our ConstitutionThere are some reasons to believe that Donald Trump's DOJ is going to have its hands full in the Maduro case, particularly with the assigned Judge, Alvin Hellerstein, who is a very experienced, no nonsense jurist who previously has presided over multiple Trump associated cases.But that's a topic for another day. I just sat down with Adam Klasfeld of all rise news. Adam was in court for the Meduro arraignment and he joined Justice Matters to tell us all about it.Link for Adam on Substack: https://www.allrisenews.com Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
They told you it was about narco-terrorism. They told you it was about justice. They lied. The capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro isn't just a win for the DEA—it is a geopolitical earthquake involving oil, gold, silver, the war on terror, and a battle for global supremacy. In this explosive episode of Keeping It Real, Jillian Michaels sits down with Ex-CIA Covert Ops Officer Mike Baker (host of The President's Daily Breif) and Constitutional Attorney Josh Hammer to reveal what the mainstream media and partisan pundits aren't telling you. We strip away the headlines to expose the truth about what's really going on, why, and what is likely to happen next:

Most people think mindset is everything. Tony Robbins knows better — it's what comes before mindset that determines whether you break through or break down. After 49 years coaching everyone from world leaders to suicidal strangers, the legendary peak performance strategist has cracked the code on why most people set goals they never keep, make decisions they never follow through on, and stay stuck in patterns they know are destroying their lives. In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Tony breaks down the exact three-step formula for creating breakthroughs that actually last: state, story, and strategy — in that order. We dive into why your emotional state controls everything you perceive, how the stories you tell yourself become the limitations you live by, and why even the best strategy in the world won't work if you're in the wrong state when you try to execute it. Tony reveals why fasting is easier than dieting (absolutes beat negotiation every time), how a general made a 10-year Pentagon decision in 40 minutes, and why most people confuse deciding with committing when real transformation requires resolve. But this isn't theory — it's applied psychology from the trenches. Tony walks through his actual intervention process, why he asks 167 questions before making one statement, how he reads people's top two human needs in minutes, and why sometimes you have to offend someone to actually help them. We get into why positive thinking is bullshit without capability, how a $78,000 betrayal became his greatest teacher, and why the law of attraction is real but dangerously incomplete. If you've ever set a New Year's resolution and abandoned it by February, or if you're tired of knowing what to do but not doing it, this episode will rewire how you think about change, discipline, and what it actually takes to destroy the negative thoughts holding you back.

Pastor Mike speaks on reading and studying the Bible, offering motivation and practical advice for both new and mature Christians. He provides three core motivations for study: the blessing of simply possessing an affordable Bible today, the Bible's unique nature as the divinely inspired Word of God that transforms believers, and the availability of numerous translations and tools like study Bibles. Mike also advises listeners to avoid "randomly opening" the Bible ("flipping") or reading too fast without understanding, and suggests the key strategies of "sinking sections" (dividing the Bible into its major parts, like Law, History, Poetry, Gospels, etc.) and understanding the different “genres” (like poetry, which uses parallelism).

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260107dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will—to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. Ephesians 1:4-6 Destined to Be His When you were a child, maybe your parents took you to the animal shelter to pick out your very first pet. You looked at all the cute kittens and puppies until you found one that stole your heart. “I want that one,” you said. And you took it home. God has done the same for his followers. He’s chosen them. He’s adopted them into the family. He’s given them a part in all that is his. He said about them, “I need to have this one. I’m going to make this one my own.” What amazing comfort to know that God did this “in accordance with his pleasure and will.” God wasn’t forced into making his followers his own. He wanted to. And maybe the most mind-boggling thing is that God has chosen and predetermined that they would be his own even before they had a thought of wanting to be his. It’s tempting to think that belonging to Christ was some kind of decision they made. But today’s Bible verses pushes that idea aside. It was God who “chose us in him before the creation of the world.” That truth may cause our brains to run in circles, but it causes our hearts to rest with comfort and confidence. That truth gives us peace to know that no part of our salvation is up to us. God carries out our deliverance from beginning to end. He has sought his people out by his Spirit, paid for them in his Son, and will take them home to live with him forever. Prayer: Almighty Lord, your grace has no beginning and no end. I praise you for loving me even before the world began. I thank you for sending Jesus into the world to purchase me. I go in peace knowing your Holy Spirit has adopted me into your family at my baptism. In Jesus' name. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

If we ever had a genuine democracy (and I would argue we never have) then it is clearly disintegrating now, along with the entire system with which it was entwined. Everyone agrees we need something new, what we don't necessarily agree on across the board is the design of this new thing. This week's guests are two people who spend their lives imagining how things might be different, particularly in the US, where even the pretence of democracy has been abandoned. Dr John Izzo is a friend of the podcast. Once an ordained Minister in a Presbyterian Church, he's now a bestselling author, speaker, and thought leader focused on social responsibility and intergenerational integration. He's a a Distinguished Fellow at The Stimson Center in Washington DC, and a Board Member of the Elders Action Network and the Elders Climate Action group. Most notably in terms of what we're talking about here, he's co-host of The Way Forward Regenerative Conversations Podcast on which I heard him speaking to our other guest, Suzette Brooks Masters. Suzette describes herself as a sometime Cassandra who sees around the corner; a serial social entrepreneur, and a thought leader and strategist in the fields of democracy, governance and futures.She has degrees in Economics from Amherst College and Cambridge University, and a Law degree from Harvard. She has spent much of her working life as a strategist working on immigration, inclusion and democracy. She is currently Senior Fellow and Director of Democracy Innovation at the Democracy Funders Network and Co-Founder of the Federal Foresight Advocacy Alliance. So listen in for a 3-way conversation on the nature of power, community and change as we move into the new year.

For years, Mecklenburg County District Attorney Spencer Merriweather has lobbied for more staffing in his office, which has not had a significant increase in nearly 15 years. With Iryna's Law now on the books, he should be able to hire 10 more prosecutors. Will that be enough? We will ask about that and about his impression of how the law might affect public safety, as well as other issues facing the DA's office.
In this episode, David Wollen continues his conversation with Nancy Guthrie, reflecting on how the Law and the Scriptures lead us to behold Jesusthe One who fulfilled them on our behalf.
We are living in the age of Trump-induced darkness: an executive branch that damn-near every day demonstrates a disdain for the rule of law and the United States Constitution. But there are so many points of light on the legal front.Glenn recently had the pleasure of sitting down with the Culpeper County Democratic Committee to discuss the legal issues of the day. This is part three of a three-part series of his extended chat with the Culpeper Dems, focusing on how Trump and Pam Bondi are misusing the power of the Department of Justice and abusing the rule of law, and how Trump and Pete Hegseth are misusing the power of the military and abusing our military members. Glenn finishes by discussing the many nonprofit organizations that are fighting in court every day for our rights and how they are true points of light giving hope in the darkness of Trumplandia. Thank you to Team Justice member Leo for video and editing work on this project.
