August 22, 2026; 9am: As Americans continue to grapple with the ongoing affordability crisis, Trump's policies are again threatening to drive the prices we pay even higher. Trump took to Truth Social to claim Canada wanted “the benefits of being a state, without being one.” It comes after Canada said Saturday it would match "dollar for dollar" Trump's new 50% tariffs that went into effect after trade talks fell apart on Friday. Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney said his country had been “attacked” by the new American tariffs.

1044. Are rising healthcare costs ruining your budget? Laura answers a listener's question about how to maximize every tax advantage available for healthcare costs. You'll learn the rules for deducting them on your tax return or paying them with tax-advantaged savings accounts like HSAs and FSAs. We'll cover which expenses are tax-free and simple strategies to optimize your healthcare spending.Key Takeaways:You can only claim the medical tax deduction if you itemize deductions on Schedule A instead of claiming the standard deduction on your tax return.You can only deduct unreimbursed healthcare expenses that exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI), making the medical deduction best for years with high medical bills.Tax-advantaged medical savings accounts are powerful because they allow you to save 20% to 35% on qualified costs without claiming a medical deduction.Health savings account (HSA) balances roll over forever, can be invested for tax-free growth, and can be withdrawn penalty-free for non-medical expenses after age 65 (subject to ordinary income tax).Flexible spending accounts (FSAs) and health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) are employer-sponsored perks for cutting healthcare costs.You cannot claim an itemized medical deduction on Schedule A for any healthcare expense paid for or reimbursed using pre-tax funds from an HSA, FSA, or HRA.Lawmakers have expanded HSA, FSA, and HRA qualified expenses to cover various over-the-counter (OTC) medications and products.Discover more from Money Girl!FacebookNewsletterTranscripts available at QuickandDirtyTips.com.Email: Laura@LauraDAdams.com or leave a voicemail: (302) 364-0308.

August 16, 2026; 9am: ICE plans to spend up to $20 million dollars to purchase thousands of gloves that can deliver painful electric shocks intended to gain compliance from combative individuals. Civil rights advocates quickly sounded the alarm over the plan, saying ICE officers already face scrutiny over their use of excessive force with little oversight or accountability. But supporters of the gloves say they are generally only used in specific jail or transport situations to subdue violent suspects.

Maine Democratic Congresswoman Chellie Pingree, who represents the district where the shooting happened, joins “The Weekend” to discuss.

Data from the 2024-2025 school year shows that Oregon schools have the second-highest chronic absenteeism rate in the country. It breaks down to about a third of Oregon students being chronically absent — missing more than 10 days of school a year.   In Malheur County, though, things are different. A recent analysis of attendance data by the Oregon Journalism Project found that students in Malheur county are attending class more than any other county in Oregon. School districts in Malheur County have a tool in their back pocket: truancy citations, or fines issued as a last resort as a means of motivation for students to attend school regularly. Lawmakers banned the use of these fines in 2021, and school officials in Malheur County saw attendance slip. They brought truancy citations back in the 2023-2024 school year with a local ordinance, and attendance grew immensely, bolstered by wraparound services the district provides to support families struggling with school attendance.   Vale School District Superintendent Alisha McBride says the key to their success isn’t necessarily the fines themselves, of which they issued only one during the 2025-2026 school year, but the conversations that school districts, school boards and the community had to have around attendance in order to pass the local ordinance. We’ll hear from McBride about the ways Malheur County schools are battling chronic absenteeism and how those techniques can be applied to other counties in the state.

It’s not uncommon for adults in custody in the U.S. to find themselves in solitary confinement for a range of behaviors, both violent and non-violent infractions. The practice is well-documented as being psychologically and socially damaging and to worsen the mental health outcomes for those subjected to it. The Oregon Department of Corrections is facing a class action lawsuit over the practice.  And separately, a group of lawmakers has sent the agency a formal request to adopt U.N. standards known as Mandela rules, which would sharply curtail the use of isolation as a common form of discipline. Rep. Farrah Chaichi, D- Beaverton/Aloha, led this effort and she joins us to share more about the lawmakers’ letter, the DOC’s response and what she sees as the next legislative steps.  

U.S. House Democrats have now opened an investigation into Energy Fuels, which owns the White Mesa Mill in southern Utah. It comes after their CEO bought 74,000 shares of the company just before President Trump issued his executive order slashing the size of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase Escalante National Monuments. Lawmakers now claim that the way the monument boundaries were redrawn gives a huge benefit to Energy Fuels, which operates the country's last conventional uranium processing site about a mile away from Bears Ears' previous boundary.

This hour, Scoot continues his conversation about old New Orleans buildings that were demolished. President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order to overhaul the federal childhood vaccination schedule, reducing universally recommended immunizations from 18 diseases down to 11 and proposing that the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine be split into three separate shots. The administration frames the policy as a "gold standard" approach meant to provide parents with flexibility and bring the U.S. into alignment with peer European nations. However, the move has drawn intense criticism from global health agencies, medical groups, and political figures who warn that dismantling combined vaccines goes against decades of established medical evidence and could exacerbate ongoing disease outbreaks. The USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) is currently facing intense congressional scrutiny over a severe mental health and supply crisis among its 5,000 crew members. The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier has set a modern-day record during the ongoing conflict with Iran, marking over 260 consecutive days at sea with almost no port stops. In response to the growing crisis, the military is preparing to send the USS George Washington (or alternatively the USS Theodore Roosevelt strike group) to the Arabian Sea to replace the carrier. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is stepping down from her position at the end of August 2026 to spend more time with her young family. President Donald Trump announced the decision on Truth Social, noting that she will transition into a role as one of his top outside advisors and remain an influential voice within the Republican Party.

New Mexico's legislative “truth commission” investigating Jeffrey Epstein's activities in the state released its initial 119-page report, concluding that authorities had failed for years to adequately investigate what occurred at Epstein's Zorro Ranch near Santa Fe. The commission said federal investigators had concentrated primarily on Epstein's crimes in New York, Florida and the U.S. Virgin Islands while allegations involving New Mexico were largely left unexplored. The report also criticized state and local authorities for relying on federal agencies rather than aggressively investigating potential crimes within New Mexico themselves. Lawmakers said the commission's work was intended to determine not only what happened at the ranch, but whether failures, negligence or possible public corruption allowed Epstein to operate there with little scrutiny for decades.The initial report did not appear to unveil a large body of previously unknown evidence, instead assembling information from public records, prior reporting, released Epstein documents and survivor accounts as the commission continued its investigation. Among the testimony considered was that of survivor Rachel Benavidez, who alleged that Epstein abused her at Zorro Ranch in the late 1990s. The commission's release came as New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez was separately pursuing a reopened criminal investigation and suing the Justice Department for records he said federal officials had refused to provide. Together, the legislative inquiry and the attorney general's investigation represented a renewed effort to examine Epstein's New Mexico operation, identify who may have participated or enabled it, and determine why meaningful scrutiny of Zorro Ranch had taken so long.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:New Mexico's legislative truth commission on Epstein releases initial report | News | santafenewmexican.com

New Mexico's legislative “truth commission” investigating Jeffrey Epstein's activities in the state released its initial 119-page report, concluding that authorities had failed for years to adequately investigate what occurred at Epstein's Zorro Ranch near Santa Fe. The commission said federal investigators had concentrated primarily on Epstein's crimes in New York, Florida and the U.S. Virgin Islands while allegations involving New Mexico were largely left unexplored. The report also criticized state and local authorities for relying on federal agencies rather than aggressively investigating potential crimes within New Mexico themselves. Lawmakers said the commission's work was intended to determine not only what happened at the ranch, but whether failures, negligence or possible public corruption allowed Epstein to operate there with little scrutiny for decades.The initial report did not appear to unveil a large body of previously unknown evidence, instead assembling information from public records, prior reporting, released Epstein documents and survivor accounts as the commission continued its investigation. Among the testimony considered was that of survivor Rachel Benavidez, who alleged that Epstein abused her at Zorro Ranch in the late 1990s. The commission's release came as New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez was separately pursuing a reopened criminal investigation and suing the Justice Department for records he said federal officials had refused to provide. Together, the legislative inquiry and the attorney general's investigation represented a renewed effort to examine Epstein's New Mexico operation, identify who may have participated or enabled it, and determine why meaningful scrutiny of Zorro Ranch had taken so long.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:New Mexico's legislative truth commission on Epstein releases initial report | News | santafenewmexican.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
