Welcome back to Intellicast! On today's episode, Brian is joined by market research's favorite lobbyist, the Senior Vice President of Advocacy for the Insights Association, Howard Fienberg. He makes his return to Intellicast to discuss the latest developments in privacy legislation and more. Kicking off the episode, Brian and Howard discuss the current state of privacy legislation in the United States. Howard gives an update on his efforts to help the industry navigate new state privacy legislation in 2025, on where we stand on new state privacy legislation that may be coming down the pipe. The conversation changes its focus to a potential federal version of privacy legislation. Howard discusses the various efforts that have taken place in the past and why he believes the current efforts are distinct. He is cautiously optimistic that we could see a serious proposal introduced in 2026. Brian and Howard then discuss the LiveRamp lawsuit and its current and future impact on the market research industry. Howard mentions how this lawsuit has spotlighted how trial lawyers are twisting old surveillance laws, initially written for phone wiretaps, to sue companies over tracking cookies. Even if most cases aren't held up in court, they're expensive and distracting. In the final segment, Brian and Howard discuss the recent decision in the EU to uphold the Data Privacy Framework, the current agreement that allows U.S. companies to transfer data from the EU. This may have flown under the radar for many, but Howard talks about how important this court ruling is for every business in market research.

Send us a textIn this episode of Deconstructing Comp, Yvonne and Rafael talk to Paolo Longo, a claimant attorney based in Florida, to explore the realities of representing injured workers, especially first responders. Paolo shares how his career path led him from the state attorney's office to becoming a dedicated advocate for employees navigating the workers' compensation system.He explains the unique legal protections and presumptions that apply to Florida's firefighters, police officers, and other first responders, particularly around heart disease, hypertension, and other conditions presumed to be job-related. Paolo also highlights the burden-shifting process that makes these cases unique, and why communication and education are at the heart of effective advocacy.A powerful part of the discussion centers on the fears and concerns first responders face after an injury. Paolo notes that the first question nearly every client asks is: “Am I going to lose my job?” Beyond that, they worry about whether they'll ever return to work, finish their careers, or continue providing for their families. These uncertainties, coupled with a lack of clear understanding of the claims process, make strong legal guidance and compassionate communication for injured workers essential.Another key legal point Paolo discusses is the “120-day rule.” While its meaning varies by state, in Florida, the focus of Paolo's practice, it sets the timeframe for an employer or insurance carrier to decide on a claim. Once an employer begins providing benefits, they have 120 days to either deny the claim or continue paying benefits. If they don't issue a denial within that period, the claim becomes compensable by law, unless the employer can later prove new “material facts” that weren't discoverable during the initial investigation.This rule is critical because it can determine the outcome of a case, whether benefits continue, or whether a carrier can still attempt to deny responsibility for an injury. Paolo explains how this plays out in practice and why it's such a pivotal part of representing injured workers in Florida.From candid reflections on the challenges of the system to insights on what truly makes a difference for injured workers, this conversation offers a rare look at the claimant's side of workers' compensation. ¡Muchas Gracias!

A recent case filed by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) reveals how an insider was able to detect fraud in a large managed care organization (MCO).Although the topic of medical loss ratio (MLR) might be arcane to some, when the subject involves millions of dollars of potential fraud, it quickly becomes a large blip on the government's fraud detection radar.More on this topic will be reported during the next live edition of Monitor Mondays. That's when whistleblower attorney Max Voldman returns to the long-running Internet broadcast to report on how a payer, Inland Empire Health Plan, miscalculated its MLR in a scheme to rebate less money to the government than to which it was legally obligated.The weekly broadcast will also include these instantly recognizable features:• Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds.• The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors.• Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.• Legislative Update: Cate Brantley, senior legislative affairs analyst for Zelis, will report on the news happening at the intersection of healthcare and congressional action.
The Government's open to legislating to over-rule court decisions on incorporating tikanga Māori. That's from the Prime Minister - echoing comments last week from his Justice Minister. Paul Goldsmith claimed at a Law Association meeting that including concepts of Māori customs and values in law could cost the country investment. Former Treaty Negotiations Minister Chris Finlayson says the Law Commission had been doing a substantial amount of work on tikanga. "I would have thought that what the Crown should be doing is taking a good look at that report and trying to provide some definition of where and when tikanga would apply. So there's no point in just having a sort of group lamentation about it, it's within the ability of Parliament to knuckle down and do something about it."

A Clare TD says the Government has been caught napping on regulating vapes and e-cigarettes. According to the Institute of Public Health, 18% of 15-16 year-olds are current users. The state is currently moving to ban the advertising of e-cigarettes and restrict packaging design, but Sinn Féin is calling for an anti-vaping programme to be established, along with legislation to outlaw disposable and single-use products.

This conversation provides a comprehensive overview of the Fifth Amendment, focusing on the due process protections and the takings clause. It explores the historical context of these legal principles, key cases that have shaped their interpretation, and the distinctions between procedural and substantive due process. The discussion delves into regulatory takings, categorical takings, and the Penn Central test, providing insights into how courts analyze these issues. Additionally, it addresses the complexities of temporary takings and exactions, emphasizing the importance of fair compensation and the evolving challenges in environmental law.The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution is a cornerstone of American legal principles, safeguarding individual rights against government overreach. Among its provisions, the Takings Clause stands out as a critical element, ensuring that private property cannot be taken for public use without just compensation. This blog post explores the intricacies of the Fifth Amendment and the Takings Clause, shedding light on their significance and impact on property rights.Understanding the Fifth Amendment: The Fifth Amendment is part of the Bill of Rights and provides several protections for individuals, including the right to due process, protection against double jeopardy, and the right against self-incrimination. However, one of its most debated components is the Takings Clause, which addresses the balance between public needs and private property rights.The Takings Clause Explained: The Takings Clause states, "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." This clause ensures that when the government needs to acquire private property for public purposes, such as building infrastructure or public facilities, it must provide fair compensation to the property owner. The clause raises important questions about what constitutes "public use" and how "just compensation" is determined.Key Court Cases and Interpretations: Over the years, the U.S. Supreme Court has interpreted the Takings Clause in various landmark cases. One notable case is Kelo v. City of New London (2005), where the Court ruled that economic development can be considered a public use under the Takings Clause. This decision sparked widespread debate and led to legislative changes in several states to protect property owners.The Fifth Amendment and the Takings Clause play a vital role in balancing the interests of the public and private property owners. As legal interpretations evolve, these provisions continue to shape the landscape of property rights in the United States. Understanding their implications is crucial for anyone interested in constitutional law and property rights.Subscribe Now: Stay informed about the latest developments in constitutional law and property rights by subscribing.

The U.S. Secret Service dismantled a network of electronic devices located throughout the New York tristate area that were used to conduct multiple telecommunications-related threats directed towards senior U.S. government officials, which represented an imminent threat to the agency's protective operations. This protective intelligence investigation led to the discovery of more than 300 co-located SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards across multiple sites. In addition to carrying out anonymous telephonic threats, these devices could be used to conduct a wide range of telecommunications attacks. This includes disabling cell phone towers, enabling denial of services attacks and facilitating anonymous, encrypted communication between potential threat actors and criminal enterprises. While forensic examination of these devices is ongoing, early analysis indicates cellular communications between nation-state threat actors and individuals that are known to federal law enforcement.Ransomware!• EU cyber agency says airport software held to ransom by criminals • A Cyberattack on Jaguar Land Rover Is Causing a Supply Chain Disaster • Rising cyberattacks on K-12 schools prompt concern as Uvalde CISD grapples with ransomwareCyber threat information law hurtles toward expiration, with poor prospects for renewal• Rand Paul's last-minute demands push key cybersecurity law to the brink• Peters Urges Senate to Quickly Extend Critical Cybersecurity Protections That Expire on October 1st• Health-ISAC CSO: A Looming Deadline: The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015• RER and Coalition Urges TRIA Reauthorization• Commentary: Shrinking cyber budgets and rising threats: Why public-private partnerships are now mission-criticalUS threats and violence• MN man threatened people via email as retaliation for Charlie Kirk's death: Charges• NH Man Arrested for Allegedly Plotting to Kill Republican Governor Kelly Ayotte With Pipe Bombs• NCTC Supports U.S. Law Enforcement, First Responders by Sharing Intel Product Aimed at Deterring Attacks by Al-Qa'ida• ISIS calls for slaughter of Christians and Jews in UK attacks – 'shoot, stab, and ram' Quick Hits:• FBI PSA: Threat Actors Spoofing the FBI IC3 Website for Possible Malicious Activity• NHC issuing advisories for the Atlantic on Hurricane Gabrielle• UK NPSA: Vehicle Security Barriers at Event Venues • TikTok: Statement from ByteDanceo Deal to Keep TikTok in U.S. Is Near.

Keili McEwen is the Vice President of Governmental Affairs at Tinker Federal Credit Union (TFCU), a major not-for-profit financial institution and the largest credit union in Oklahoma. TFCU serves Air Force personnel, employees of more than 2,200 area companies, and residents across Oklahoma and Texas, with more than $6.1 billion in assets and over 470,000 members as of mid-2025. In her role, Keili leads all state and federal advocacy, legislative strategy, and political engagement on behalf of the credit union. Before joining TFCU in 2022, she built a career spanning two decades in public policy and nonprofit leadership, including senior roles at Oklahoma's Department of Human Services and in the offices of Governors Mary Fallin and Mike Huckabee. In this episode… What really makes credit unions stand apart in today's financial landscape? Unlike traditional banks, they operate with a mission-driven, member-owned model that brings unique challenges and opportunities when navigating complex regulations and legislative environments. But how do these institutions ensure their voices are heard when laws are written and policies are shaped? According to Keili McEwen, a seasoned leader in public policy and advocacy, it starts with building strong relationships and consistently educating lawmakers about the credit union difference. She highlights that effective influence requires both deep subject matter expertise and a clear understanding of what motivates decision-makers. By aligning credit union priorities with the values and agendas of policymakers, Keili notes, it becomes possible to secure meaningful change for members. In this episode of The Same Day Podcast, host Mat Zalk sits down with Keili McEwen, Vice President of Governmental Affairs at Tinker Federal Credit Union (TFCU), to discuss why credit union voices matter in legislation and regulation. They explore how advocacy impacts member benefits, the importance of aligning with lawmakers' priorities, and the unique challenges of operating in a highly regulated environment. Keili also gives advice on building champions in government through trust and storytelling.
