    Medical AI is already getting good at doing things doctors do. Dr. Ziad Obermeyer thinks the bigger opportunity is using AI to discover things medicine doesn't yet know.His work shows both sides of that future: algorithms can amplify bad assumptions when trained on the wrong targets, but they can also uncover signals in medical data that humans miss. Obermeyer argues that as more health data is collected outside the hospital, AI could turn it into a continuous picture of health rather than a series of isolated snapshots.Free course: Improve your metabolic healthGet our free email course on how glucose, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and measurement can help you build habits that support better energy and long-term health: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://levels.link/wnl⁠What We Cover:Why AI should learn from patients and outcomes, not just doctorsHow an ECG model found hidden risk of sudden cardiac deathWhy medical data access is still a major bottleneckHow more measurement could actually mean fewer unnecessary testsWhy healthcare may be entering a “mainframe to PC” transition

You don't have to share, and you don't have to prepare. Dates and sign-up at frontrowdads.com/experience Recorded live at one of our online summits, Jayson Gaddis walks through the five levels of partnership, from survival at level one to the spiritual union at level five that most couples never reach. He is upfront that the model is his own, built from almost thirty years of sitting in circle with couples. Most long marriages, he says, stall at level three: stable, functional, and quietly unable to talk about the hard things. Then he gets practical about the one thing that actually moves a marriage up: repair. The conflict repair cycle, the two skills of speaking first and listening first, why a man's urge to fix his wife's pain backfires, and what to do when you feel you cannot bring your own feelings into your own marriage.   IN THIS EPISODE The five levels, and how to tell which one you are on Level one: mating and survival, and why people stay where they are hurt Why most long marriages stall at level three The conflict repair cycle, and what skipping repair hollows out The two repair skills almost nobody is taught Why fixing your wife's pain isn't love, and what to do instead How to work with a partner who won't own their part   WANT MORE This was a members-only online summit, so there is no public episode to link. It is the kind of room we build for dads who want to win at home the same way they win at work.

    The largest known source of lead emissions is leaded aviation fuel, most commonly used for small aircraft in small, regional airports. A new study from Oregon State University has found that this fuel leads to more lead pollution in surrounding urban areas and neighborhoods, which can affect human health through poor air quality and soil contamination. The study looked at air quality surrounding regional airports near Hillsboro and Troutdale, two of the top three lead-emitters in Oregon.   Alyssa Shiel, an associate professor in the college of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences at OSU, has been studying lead and heavy metal contaminates for nearly a decade. She joins us to share her findings and what concerns they raise.

    Send us Fan MailYou get your vitamin D results back and the report screams “HIGH” in red. Do you actually need to panic, or do you need context? Speaking of Women's Health Podcast host Dr. Holly Thacker walks through why vitamin D is often misunderstood, how age, latitude, indoor life, and sunscreen change what your skin can make, and why “normal” lab ranges don't always match what we're aiming for in real preventive care. She connects vitamin D3 to women's health in a practical way: bone strength and osteoporosis prevention, muscle function and fall risk, oral health, mood support, blood pressure, and the ripple effects of low levels during winter. She also talks through women-specific concerns we see every day, including PMS symptoms, pregnancy needs for fetal development and maternal health, and why nutrition and vitamin D status deserve a place in the broader conversation around cervical health alongside appropriate gynecologic evaluation. Finally, she explains the missing link that trips up a lot of people: magnesium. Because magnesium is required to metabolize and activate vitamin D, supplementing D without supporting magnesium can backfire with fatigue or cramps.Support the show

    Demand Fully Recovers as Occupancy Nears Year-Ago Levels

    Multifamily Operational ResultsThe national multifamily market continued to strengthen during the week ending August 30, with both occupancy and leasing activity approaching year-ago levels. Average U.S. occupancy held steady at 94.53%, leaving it just 16 basis points below the same period last year. Leased occupancy also remained stable at 97.09%, narrowing the year-over-year gap to only 17 basis points. After trailing more significantly earlier in the summer, both measures have now recovered within a fraction of last year's performance.Leasing activity achieved a notable milestone. Properties averaged 2.7 new leases signed during the week, matching the pace recorded one year ago. After spending much of the year below prior-year levels, leasing demand has fully closed the gap, signaling that renter demand remains resilient as the market moves beyond peak leasing season.Pricing trends continued to improve, albeit gradually. Net Effective Rent (NER) increased 0.2% week over week to $1,773, while annual NER growth for new leases remained at -1.7%. Although rents continue to be the primary factor weighing on year-over-year performance, week-over-week momentum remains positive. Market conditions remain highly uneven, with several coastal markets generating positive rent growth while many Sun Belt markets continue to face pricing pressure.Revenue performance strengthened alongside improvements in occupancy and leasing. RevPAU increased 0.2% on the week to $1,676, while year-over-year growth improved slightly to -1.9% from -2.0% the prior week. As occupancy and leasing continue to recover, the revenue gap is gradually narrowing, though pricing remains the key constraint on stronger growth.Bottom Line: Multifamily fundamentals continue to improve. Leasing demand has fully returned to last year's pace, occupancy is nearly back to year-ago levels, and revenue trends are steadily improving. The remaining challenge is pricing. As the market enters the fall season, the key question is whether sustained demand and occupancy stability will begin translating into meaningful rent growth.Explore our webpage for more insights and resources:https://bit.ly/Radix_Website

In this episode, I walk through a groundbreaking study that exposed pregnant rats to nine hundred megahertz EMF radiation -- the same frequency range as cell phones -- during different stages of pregnancy. The findings reveal that timing matters enormously: exposure during late pregnancy caused severe brain cell death in offspring, while early pregnancy exposure showed no damage.

    2014 DnD 5e DRUID Levels 5 - 20 (Remastered): Summoning Cows to Fall from the Skies onto our Enemies

    Nature is healing. Unfortunately, nature has chosen violence. We're taking the Druid from level 5 all the way to 20, which means summoning packs of velociraptors, turning into dinosaurs, raising fungal zombies, weaponizing potted plants, becoming an angry celestial nature wizard, and eventually gaining the power to erase armies with natural disasters. But none of that matters because we discovered the true pinnacle of Druid magic: summoning cows sixty feet above our enemies and letting gravity finish the spell. Welcome to high-level Druid optimization, where Mother Nature loves you, but she has absolutely had enough of your crap. Show Notes We return to our 2014 D&D 5e Druid builds and take Tyler's Circle of Spores, Randall's Circle of the Moon, and Ash's Circle of Stars from level 5 all the way to 20. Third-level spells immediately send us down the Conjure Animals rabbit hole, where velociraptors look terrifying until someone suggests cows. From there, the entirely reasonable discussion of battlefield control becomes the Twister Gambit: summon livestock above your enemy and allow physics to contribute to the encounter. As the levels climb, the Druids only become more ridiculous. Randall gets increasingly dangerous Wild Shape options and eventually Elemental Wild Shape. Tyler builds an expanding fungal entourage while becoming increasingly difficult to kill. Meanwhile, Rain Shadow graduates from peaceful celestial hippie to terrifying flying star mage with an alarming willingness to unleash the wrath of nature. We dig through the Druid spell list, separating great options from traps, discussing Polymorph, Wall of Fire, summoning, battlefield control, Draconic Transformation, Foresight, Shapechange, and the point where spells like Earthquake and Tsunami stop feeling like combat abilities and start feeling like natural-disaster plot devices. By level 18, Beast Spells lets Druids cast while Wild Shaped, and level 20's Archdruid removes the practical limit on Wild Shape altogether. The result is a class that starts by talking to squirrels and ends as a nearly unkillable force of nature capable of turning into monsters, casting world-altering magic, and presumably still dropping cows on people whenever the situation demands it. Key Takeaways Conjure Animals remains enormously powerful, especially when quantity, Pack Tactics, battlefield control, and questionable applications of gravity get involved. The Twister Gambit proves that cows are not merely livestock. They are ammunition. Druids excel at battlefield control, with spells like Plant Growth capable of making movement extremely difficult under the right circumstances. Circle of the Moon keeps improving its Wild Shape options, eventually gaining Elemental Wild Shape and much stronger beast forms. Circle of Spores develops into a durable melee caster surrounded by fungal undead and eventually gains excellent defensive abilities. Circle of Stars becomes increasingly flexible as its Starry Forms improve, allowing Ash's Rain Shadow to become the terrifying celestial nature prophet she was always destined to be. Higher-level Druid magic increasingly shifts from winning encounters to reshaping entire situations with spells like Earthquake and Tsunami. Beast Spells dramatically changes Wild Shape by allowing Druids to cast while transformed. Foresight and Shapechange provide outstanding ninth-level options and make already-powerful Druids even harder to deal with. Archdruid's unlimited Wild Shape makes the level 20 Druid extraordinarily difficult to kill, especially for Circle of the Moon. The Druid's greatest strength is versatility. It can summon, heal, control the battlefield, transform, deal damage, support allies, infiltrate, and eventually become a walking ecological catastrophe. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

    Why do we crave some foods the more often we eat them? Are we addicted?Dr. Dana Small's research suggests that food craving reaches far beyond taste or willpower, and that “addiction” isn't a helpful descriptor. Every time we eat, unconscious signals from the body teach the brain which foods deliver useful nutrients, and train us to want more of those. In other words, we don't eat crave foods because they taste good; foods taste good because our body craves them.Understanding that means we can rethink overeating. It's not a matter of addiction or self-control; it's our body behaving the way nature intended it to, but in the setting of foods not found in the wild, like those high in both fat and carbohydrates. But we may also be able to train our brain away from these cravings.Free course: Improve your metabolic healthGet our free email course on how glucose, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and measurement can help you build habits that support better energy and long-term health: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://levels.link/wnl⁠What We CoverTaste vs. flavor, pleasure, motivation, and food rewardHow gut nutrient signals teach the brain which foods to seekWhy fat + carbs produce an unusually strong reward responseWhat eight weeks of high-fat, high-sugar snacks did to the brainHow GLP-1s may cut food wanting while preserving pleasure

    EP 131: How to tell if your Mitochondria are damaged

    Triple Play Performance Podcast

    A Nobel Prize-winning discovery from 1931 described a cellular “fermentation switch” tied to cancer. That same switch shows up — in a much milder form — in millions of exhausted, foggy, always-cold people who've never had the right tests run.TLDR: Fatigue that sleep doesn't fix. Brain fog. Always cold. Muscle heaviness. Crashing after a workout. These aren't personality traits or “just aging”; they're often signs that your mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside every cell, aren't running the way they should. In this episode, I walk through:* What mitochondria actually do (in plain English)* The 6 physical warning signs your body sends when they're struggling* The 5 lab markers that reveal mitochondrial stress — most of which your standard panel isn't interpreting correctly* Why your body's pH and proton gradient might be the most underrated marker you've never heard of* 8 ways to start rebuilding mitochondrial function this week, starting todayWhat Mitochondria Actually Are (In Plain English)This is a very rudimentary explanation…Every one of your roughly 37 trillion cells contains tiny structures called mitochondria. Their job is to take the food you eat and the oxygen you breathe and convert them into a usable form of energy called ATP (adenosine triphosphate).Think of it like currency exchange. Food is your paycheck. But you can't pay your bills with a paycheck directly. You have to convert it into cash first. That's what mitochondria do. Your heart, brain, and liver cells are packed with hundreds to thousands of them, because those organs demand the most energy.So the real question is: what happens when those mitochondria get damaged?The Warburg Connection And What It Actually Tells UsIn 1931, German biochemist Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work on cellular respiration. Part of what made him famous was an earlier observation: many cancer cells generate energy primarily through fermentation (a process called aerobic glycolysis) rather than through the oxygen-based process healthy cells typically rely on - even when plenty of oxygen is available. Warburg's Nobel Prize was officially awarded for his discovery of the respiratory enzyme, and part of what he demonstrated along the way was that cancerous cells can live and develop even in the absence of oxygen. This pattern is now known as the Warburg effect.Here's where I want to be careful, because this is the kind of claim that's easy to oversimplify. It's tempting to say “damaged mitochondria cause cancer,” full stop. The real picture is messier and still debated. Researchers have gone back and forth for decades on whether this metabolic shift is a cause of cancer or a consequence of it, and more importantly, later research found that in most cancers, the mitochondria aren't actually broken. Subsequent research has shown that mitochondrial function is not impaired in most cancer cells, even though those cells still preferentially ferment glucose. The “why” behind that switch remains one of the more actively studied questions in cancer metabolism.So what does this mean for you, a person who almost certainly doesn't have cancer but does feel exhausted all the time? It means the fermentation-under-stress pattern Warburg first described is a real, well-documented phenomenon in cell biology, but I'm not going to tell you that your fatigue is “pre-cancer” or that a milder version of the Warburg effect is definitively what's causing your brain fog. What the broader mitochondrial dysfunction research does support is more modest and, frankly, more useful: when mitochondria are chronically stressed by poor diet, chronic stress, poor sleep, toxin exposure, or simply aging, cells generate less usable energy and more oxidative byproducts, and that shows up in the body long before it shows up on a standard lab panel.The Physical Warning Signs Most Doctors MissI hear a version of this sentence constantly: “My doctor ran labs and everything came back normal.” I believe them - the numbers usually do fall within standard reference ranges. But standard panels weren't built to catch mitochondrial strain. The body, on the other hand, tends to tell you well before a lab does. As you read this list, take honest mental inventory:* Brain fog and poor concentration. Your brain uses roughly 20% of your total energy output despite being about 2% of your body weight, so when brain-cell mitochondria underperform, mental clarity is often the first thing to go.* Fatigue that sleep doesn't fix. Not “I'm tired,” but “I slept eight hours, and I'm still exhausted.” This is one of the most common complaints I hear in practice.* Always feeling cold, or a low body temperature. Body heat is a byproduct of mitochondrial activity, so a consistently low waking temperature (roughly below 97.8°F) can point to a slower metabolic rate.* Muscle weakness or heaviness without a clear cause. Muscle cells are mitochondria-dense and need constant energy for contraction.* Exercise intolerance. You work out, and instead of feeling good afterward, you're wiped out for days without properly recovering.* Sensitivity to light or sound. Sensory processing is energy-expensive, and when cellular energy runs low, the nervous system loses some of its buffering capacity.None of these symptoms are proof of mitochondrial dysfunction on their own; fatigue and brain fog have a long list of possible causes, from thyroid issues to iron deficiency to depression to sleep apnea, and a thorough workup should rule those out first. But if several of these are chronic and unexplained, mitochondrial strain deserves a place on the list.The Lab Markers That Tell the Real StoryThese are markers you can request from a standard blood draw, though a few need to be ordered specifically. I want to flag something important up front: the “optimal” ranges I use in my own practice are tighter than the standard reference range most labs will flag as normal. That's intentional. A value can sit inside the reference range and still not be where I'd want to see it for someone chasing energy and longevity, rather than just ruling out overt disease. That distinction matters, and it's worth discussing with your own physician rather than self-diagnosing off a lab printout.* Fasting insulin. Most labs allow up to 25 µIU/mL as “normal.” I typically look for something closer to 2–5. Insulin creeping up into the high single digits or beyond can be an early sign that cells are struggling to use glucose efficiently.* Fasting glucose. Optimal is generally lower than most people assume, closer to 72–85 mg/dL rather than the upper 90s that many labs will still call normal.* High-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP). This measures systemic inflammation. Levels of CRP less than 1 mg/L are generally considered low cardiovascular risk, 1 to 3 mg/L moderate risk, and above 3 mg/L elevated risk. Damaged mitochondria leak more free radicals, and that oxidative debris is one of several things that can trigger this kind of low-grade inflammatory signal.* CO2 (bicarbonate). Part of a standard basic metabolic panel, usually reported somewhere in the low-to-high 20s (mEq/L). When it trends toward the lower end, it can be a signal of mild metabolic acidosis; worth flagging and discussing with your doctor rather than a red-alert finding on its own.* Lactate-to-pyruvate ratio. This is a more advanced, specialist-ordered marker. Normally pyruvate flows into the mitochondria and gets converted into usable energy; when mitochondrial function is impaired, pyruvate backs up and converts to lactate instead. It's worth being precise here about what the actual research supports: a lactate-to-pyruvate ratio above 20 has been shown to distinguish patients with primary mitochondrial disease from those with other conditions in clinical studies, and this marker's best-documented use is in diagnosing rare inherited mitochondrial disorders or evaluating critically ill patients not as a general screening tool for everyday fatigue. If you're curious about your own ratio, this is a conversation to have with a clinician who can interpret it in the context of your full picture, not something to self-order and self-interpret.The Proton Gradient: Why pH Might Be an Underrated MarkerHere's a mental picture that helped this concept click for me: imagine Niagara Falls. Water crashes from a height, and that force turns a turbine that generates electricity at the base. Mitochondria do something similar, except instead of water, they're moving protons (hydrogen ions) across a membrane, building up a pressure gradient. When those protons flow back through a molecular structure called ATP synthase, that “turbine” spins and produces ATP.Now imagine you lower the height of the falls. Less force, less electricity. That's roughly what happens when your body's internal environment shifts toward acidity; the proton gradient shrinks, and energy production slows with it.Blood pH is tightly regulated and normally stays between 7.35 and 7.45, it doesn't swing wildly, and if you ever see it trend outside that narrow range on a lab, that's a signal your body's buffering systems are genuinely taxed, not a subtle wellness finding. Because blood pH is so tightly controlled and hard to use as an early, everyday signal, a more practical (though far less precise) proxy some practitioners use is first-morning urine pH, tested with an inexpensive strip. Consistently low first-morning urine pH is sometimes used as a rough indicator that the body is buffering more acid overnight than ideal; though it's a screening tool at best, not a diagnostic one, and it can be influenced by diet, hydration, and other unrelated factors.A quick, honest aside on “structured water.” You may hear claims - including sometimes in wellness spaces I respect - that water inside your cells exists in a special “fourth phase” or “exclusion zone” structure that's central to mitochondrial function, an idea popularized by bioengineer Gerald Pollack. I want to be straight with you about where this stands scientifically: it's a genuinely contested hypothesis, not a fact. Independent researchers have proposed alternative physical explanations for the phenomena Pollack describes, and some of his specific claims - like light-driven charge separation in water - are considered difficult to reconcile with basic physical chemistry. The underlying biology of cellular hydration and mitochondrial function is real and important; the specific “structured water” framework is an interesting but unproven idea layered on top of it, and I don't want to present it to you as settled science.8 Ways to Rebuild Mitochondrial Function (Mitochondrial Biogenesis)The good news is that mitochondria aren't fixed in number or function. Your body can build new ones; a process researchers call mitochondrial biogenesis. Here are eight inputs that support it, roughly in the order I'd actually prioritize them with a patient. Notice that supplements are last, not first.* Morning sunlight. Getting outside within about 30 minutes of waking supports circadian alignment, which in turn supports metabolic function.* Zone 2 cardio. This is exercise intensity where you can still hold a conversation roughly 3–4 sessions per week, 30–45 minutes. It's popularly described as uniquely effective for mitochondrial biogenesis through a signaling pathway called PGC-1α. I want to add a fair caveat here: while Zone 2 has been widely positioned in popular media as the optimal intensity for improving mitochondrial and fatty-acid oxidative capacity, a 2025 narrative review found the evidence for that specific claim is more mixed than commonly portrayed, and some research suggests higher-intensity training activates these same pathways just as strongly, if not more so. Zone 2 is still a well-supported, low-risk, sustainable way to build an aerobic base; I just don't want to oversell it as the only path to mitochondrial adaptation.* Cold exposure. This is a stressor, so I don't recommend starting here if you haven't built a foundation first. In animal studies, chronic cold exposure increases expression of mitochondrial proteins and the master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis, PGC-1α, in brown adipose tissue - human data on the same mechanism is still developing. However, functional brown fat has been confirmed to exist and activate with cold exposure in adult humans. If you're adapted to it, starting with 30–60 seconds at the end of a shower is a reasonable entry point.* Circadian alignment. Consistent sleep/wake timing supports the same systems that morning light and cold exposure influence.* Structured hydration. Beyond simply drinking more water, this includes grounding and infrared light exposure - inputs that (independent of the more speculative “structured water” claims above) are reasonably tied to circadian and metabolic health.* Metabolic flexibility. This is your body's ability to switch between burning glucose and burning fat for fuel. Time-restricted eating is one of the more accessible tools for improving this, but it's a second-phase intervention, not a starting point, especially if your body isn't metabolically ready for it yet.* Red and near-infrared light therapy. Red to near-infrared light is absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase, an enzyme in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, and this interaction is associated with increased ATP synthesis by mitochondria. Most of the research uses roughly 10–20 minutes of targeted exposure, often over the head and torso.* Mitochondrial cofactors. This is where most people want to start and where I'd ask you to start last. CoQ10, magnesium, and B vitamins (especially B1, B2, B3) function as electron carriers within the Krebs cycle, and alpha-lipoic acid is a mitochondria-specific antioxidant. On top of these, I use Nion to support the body's pH and hydration balance, and Protandim NrF2 to help address the oxidative load that builds up when mitochondria are already under stress, but these work best layered on top of the lifestyle inputs above, not as a substitute for them.Quick Reference: What the Markers MeanThese "optimal" figures reflect the ranges I personally use with patients pursuing proactive metabolic health, not universal diagnostic cutoffs. Always interpret your own labs with a clinician who has your full history.This Week's ProtocolThree simple steps, none of which should cost much or take more than a few minutes a day:* Tomorrow morning: get outside within 30 minutes of waking for a few minutes of natural light.* Pick up pH test strips (inexpensive, available almost anywhere) and test your first-morning urine for three consecutive days. Write the numbers down.* Pull your last basic metabolic panel and find your CO2/bicarbonate value. If you don't have a recent one, get one drawn.Where to Go From HereIf you recognized yourself in several of the symptoms above, the first move isn't panic - it's data.

Chief, in today's Minisode I walk you through the concept of leading at the right level, and why it's so crucial to building a track record that will supercharge your career progression. One of the conversations I have regularly with Heads of Talent, Heads of HR and CEOs is whether someone is really operating at the level their role requires. Understanding these levels will also help you build high-performance teams because you can become much clearer about what level of leader a particular role - and therefore the business - actually needs.

    Throughout 2026, you cast your nominations for the FedScoop 50, and the results are in. Hundreds of top executives from across the government tech landscape are now up for vote to see who will be honored among this year's FedScoop 50. Voting is open now and runs through September 25. Make your voice heard to help us select who will be recognized on this year's list. One of those nominees in the prestigious Golden Gov category for this year is VA Deputy Secretary and currently acting CIO Paul Lawrence. Lawrence joined the Daily Scoop Podcast to discuss his top priorities in both roles, namely the continued rollout of the department's modernized electronic health record with Oracle. Sam Corcos, the Treasury Department's chief information officer who entered the federal government as a member of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, has taken on three roles within the General Services Administration. Corcos now serves as acting director of Technology Transformation Services, acting deputy commissioner for the Federal Acquisition Service, and acting assistant commissioner of Login-dot-gov, according to the GSA. “As a current federal agency CIO, Sam Corcos has led complex technology operations and worked across government to advance the President's technology priorities,” a GSA spokesperson told FedScoop. Before Corcos was made Treasury CIO in May 2025, he was co-founder of Levels, a health tech company. Since joining Treasury as a special adviser in March 2025, Corcos has sought access to government data and, according to Wired, made efforts to unify the API at the IRS. “The Trump Administration is focused on making government more effective, efficient, and responsive, and TTS will continue to be an important part of that effort. We are confident that Sam will help advance that mission,” the spokesperson said. Outgoing federal CIO Greg Barbaccia has led TTS since February and Greg Hogan has overseen Login-dot-gov since April. Lawmakers are pushing back on Immigration and Customs Enforcement plans to equip in-the-field agents with gloves that deliver electric shocks. Members of the House Committee on Homeland Security sent a letter last week to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, urging him to intervene and halt the procurement. The signatories included Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, the committee's top Democrat, as well as Reps. Luis Correa of California and Shri Thanedar of Michigan, ranking members of the Border Security and Enforcement, and Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability subcommittees, respectively. The representatives warned of the technology being “incorrectly used or abused by officers resulting in injury or death,” per the letter. In acquisition planning documents published earlier this month, DHS said it intends to invest up to $20 million into Compliant Technologies' Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter devices for Homeland Security Investigations officers and Enforcement Removal Operations agents. The contract is expected to be awarded later this year. “ICE is constantly assessing the needs of our officers in the field to ensure they have the tools and equipment necessary to safely arrest and remove criminal illegal aliens from our country,” a DHS spokesperson said in an email. “Every decision is made with careful consideration and appropriately reviewed to ensure that any technology ICE utilizes is consistent with all applicable law enforcement policies and standards.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.
