Story at-a-glance Texas Senate Bill 25 requires processed foods with banned ingredients to display a warning label stating they are “not recommended for human consumption.” It was signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott on June 22, 2025 and takes effect September 1 The law targets 44 harmful ingredients already banned overseas, including artificial dyes, seed oils, bleached flour, and chemical preservatives found in everyday snacks Companies like PepsiCo, General Mills, and Walmart lobbied hard to weaken the bill, arguing it would hurt profits and create “confusion” for consumers Industry pressure already forced lawmakers to remove aspartame and high fructose corn syrup — two ingredients with known health risks — from the bill's scope Loopholes in the bill allow old packaging to remain on shelves for years, giving food companies time to keep selling toxic products without new warning labels

Is Mobile Integrated Healthcare (MIH) the next evolution of EMS — or just a well-funded illusion? In this episode of The Black Cloud Society, we dive deep into the controversial world of community paramedicine. With promises of reduced ER visits, improved patient outcomes, and expanded roles for medics, MIH has made waves across the country. But not everyone's convinced.We sit down with voices from both sides of the aisle to ask the hard questions: Is MIH solving real problems, or just creating new ones? Is this model empowering providers — or stretching them too thin?Strap in for a brutally honest conversation about the future of EMS, the politics behind the funding, and whether MIH is truly here to stay… or just another industry pivot we didn't ask for.

What happens when a sophisticated scammer steals over half a million dollars in Bitcoin through a phone company's security failure? And more importantly, can you even take them to court?The answer is more complicated than you might think, as we explore in this eye-opening legal examination of consumer rights in the digital age. A British Columbia resident fell victim to an elaborate fraud when someone impersonated a Rogers technician, convinced a retail employee to enable screen sharing, and accessed the Rogers customer database. After extracting personal information, the scammer performed a SIM swap and drained the victim's cryptocurrency account, assets that later appreciated to a staggering one million dollars.When the victim attempted to sue Rogers, they encountered the hidden trap of arbitration clauses—those pages of legalese we all scroll through and accept without reading when setting up our services. Despite recent changes to BC consumer protection laws specifically banning these clauses, the court ruled in favor of Rogers on a fascinating technicality involving "retroactive" versus "retrospective" legislation. We break down this crucial distinction and explore how legislative language can determine whether consumers have access to justice.The episode also examines a compelling Vancouver assault case that showcases the notorious unreliability of eyewitness identification. Despite a police officer's "100% certainty" about identifying a suspect from security footage, the court wasn't convinced, particularly when the officer failed to notice the suspect's distinctive "benzo gait," a hunched walking style common among drug users in the Downtown Eastside. This case provides a powerful reminder of why confident witnesses don't necessarily make reliable ones.Whether you're concerned about protecting your digital assets or fascinated by the evolving landscape of consumer rights, this discussion offers valuable insights into how our legal system struggles to keep pace with technological change.

While true crime has gained traction as a genre in the literary world, it's not often we see it applied to procurement. Yet, a fascinating and unsettling procurement fraud case has recently come to light within Intel Israel's operations. Every criminal investigation seeks to uncover means, motive, and opportunity, and this case checks all three boxes, with implications that go far beyond one company. Just a few weeks ago, a story broke that uncovered an alleged scheme in which a now-former employee, Natalia Avtsin, and a component supplier, Yefim Tsibolevsky from Energy Electronics 2000, teamed up to steal roughly 3 million Israeli shekels (NIS), or about $842,000 USD.  Although the case is still ongoing and has yet to see its day in court, it poses a lot of questions for procurement teams across the globe. In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Kelly Barner covers: How Avtsin and Tsibolevsky pulled off this alleged fraud The process loopholes and absent oversight that allowed them to get away with it for so long The many lessons procurement can take from this case regarding checks and balances, pattern detection, and technology use Links: Kelly Barner on LinkedIn Art of Supply LinkedIn newsletter  Art of Supply on AOP Subscribe to This Week in Procurement

Tuesday Headlines: Iran's targeting the US largest military base in the middle east in Qatar, a Queensland mother accused of torturing her one-year-old for social media fame has had her case delayed, Aussies are spending big on 'extravagant and unnecessary medical procedures', Australia’s eSafety commissioner is urging the government to include YouTube in our world-first social media ban, and the final season of Netflix’s most successful series ever set to launch this week. Deep Dive: Deep in the middle of Australia sits the so-called “jewel in the crown” of our military alliance with the US: Pine Gap. The top secret joint defence facility is well positioned for powerful spying on the Middle East. But our Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will not say if it was used by the US in its “Operation Midnight Hammer” strikes on nuclear sites in Iran at the weekend - nor whether Australian authorities were given advance notice of the attack. In this episode of The Briefing, Natarsha Belling speaks with Greens Senator David Shoebridge about whether we're being dragged into a war and why Pine Gap is so valuable to the US but kept secret from the Australian public.

The consumer economy is showing signs of stress and strain. Lending platforms report an increasing number of “buy now, pay later” users falling behind on payments. “Buy now, pay later” refers to the short-term loans and missed installments are a sign of faltering financial health especially in the low-income working class— who are being confronted with rising inflation, cuts in SNAP and the Trump administration's move to collect on federal student loans.

For the most part, food companies are allowed to police themselves when introducing new food additives to market. This gap in oversight is the product of a GRAS loophole, a decades-old FDA policy.

Valerie French Kilroy was the mother of three very young boys, an occupational therapist and a much-loved sister and friend.In June 2019 she was murdered by her husband James Kilroy. She was 41. That he killed her was never in doubt – he admitted it – but the defence put forward at his trial in 2024 was that he was insane when he beat, stabbed and strangled his wife to death.That defence was rejected by the jury and he was convicted of her murder.For her siblings, including her brother David, Kilroy had committed child harm in that he had robbed three children of their mother. Such a crime they felt would surely mean he would no longer be the children's legal guardian. They soon learned that legally that is not the case.From his prison cell Kilroy is still in the children's lives as their legal guardian, making decisions to do with their welfare, from medical treatments to travel outside the country.David French is now fighting for changes to the legislation around guardianship that would ensure that in cases where a partner has deprived children of their parent, guardianship would be denied.Called “Valerie's law” it is, says French, a simple change in the legislation that would be of enormous benefit to the children in such horrendous cases; he says an average of seven children a year are impacted. It would also give more certainty to bereaved families as they navigate the path ahead.French has written a book, For Valerie, and he explains to In the News why that was important to him and why he is fighting to make Valerie's law a reality.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

This Day in Legal History: Colegrove v. GreenOn June 10, 1946, the U.S. Supreme Court decided Colegrove v. Green, upholding an Illinois congressional districting scheme that created dramatically uneven district populations. The plaintiffs argued the map diluted votes by packing more people into some districts than others, violating principles of equal representation. However, the Court, in a plurality opinion by Justice Felix Frankfurter, declined to intervene. Frankfurter emphasized that districting was a “political question” and not within the judiciary's purview to resolve.This ruling effectively insulated redistricting practices from federal judicial review and left voters in malapportioned districts without a constitutional remedy. Frankfurter's view was rooted in judicial restraint, warning against courts becoming embroiled in “political thickets.” But critics argued that this deference allowed entrenched political interests to ignore population shifts and disenfranchise urban voters.The decision stood until 1962, when the Court reversed course in Baker v. Carr. There, the justices held that federal courts could indeed hear redistricting cases under the Equal Protection Clause, ushering in the “one person, one vote” era. Colegrove thus marked the high-water mark of the political question doctrine's use in avoiding electoral oversight—a stance the Court ultimately abandoned.Mexico's antitrust regulator is poised to issue a ruling by June 17 on whether Google engaged in monopolistic practices in the country's digital advertising market. If found guilty, the tech giant could face a fine amounting to 8% of its annual Mexican revenue—potentially one of the largest ever imposed by the agency. The case began in 2020 and moved into a trial phase last year, with a key hearing held on May 20. Mexican regulators claim Google built an illegal monopoly, and has obtained financial data from the Mexican tax authority as part of its investigation.Google, which hasn't disclosed Mexico-specific revenue but reported $20.4 billion for the broader “other Americas” region in 2024, could seek an injunction to delay the ruling pending judicial review. This would parallel similar antitrust issues the company faces in the U.S., where courts have ruled against its dominance in search and advertising technologies.Adding to tensions, President Claudia Sheinbaum has sued Google for renaming the Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of America” for U.S. users—a move she claims Google had no authority to make. The long-standing antitrust case has drawn political attention, with lawmakers urging Mexican officials to act.Google in Mexico faces major potential fine as antitrust ruling nears | ReutersTexas has taken a meaningful first step toward curbing abuse in its affordable housing tax system with HB 21, but the new law leaves major gaps that developers could still exploit. Signed by Governor Greg Abbott, HB 21 aims to end long-term tax breaks for projects that offer little true affordability. However, the bill's reliance on “area median income” (AMI) to define affordability creates a loophole: in wealthy areas, rent set at 80% of AMI can be as high as typical market rates, making the term “affordable” misleading.The law requires that half of all units be reserved for “low-income” tenants, but without adjusting for local wage realities, this standard fails to address the needs of those most burdened by housing costs. Worse still, enforcement is delayed—audits may take years, and there is no mechanism to reclaim tax benefits already received by developers who fall out of compliance. This makes upfront compliance optional in practice, not mandatory.While HB 21 mandates parity in amenities between market-rate and affordable units, this provision seems symbolic without robust inspection. The lack of a tax credit clawback—something present in federal programs like the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit—further weakens accountability.The bill's structure could dissuade honest developers, who face unclear or burdensome requirements, while allowing bad actors to benefit before facing any scrutiny. Texas risks ending exploitative deals without fostering enough viable new ones, exacerbating its housing shortage.Texas Housing Law Addresses Problem but Creates Major LoopholesAs the push for government efficiency grows, the IRS is considering using artificial intelligence to identify noncompliant taxpayers based on past audit outcomes. While this might sound like a smart upgrade, history offers a sobering warning. The Netherlands tried something similar, using AI to spot fraud in childcare benefits, and it ended in a national scandal—the algorithm disproportionately targeted minority families, human reviewers failed to intervene, and the fallout brought down the government.A recent Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) report suggests the IRS could “leverage examination results” to improve case selection algorithms. But this raises red flags. IRS audit history isn't neutral. A 2023 joint study by Stanford and the Treasury Department found that Black taxpayers were audited up to 4.7 times more than others, especially when claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit. That disparity likely came from algorithmic choices aimed at efficiency, not fairness.If the IRS trains AI on this unfiltered historical data, it risks cementing and expanding past biases into future audits. AI could be a powerful tool—but only if accompanied by key safeguards. First, training data must be rigorously reviewed to eliminate bias. Second, model decisions must be transparent so we understand how and why certain cases are flagged. And third, human reviewers must be actively trained and authorized to question and override algorithmic decisions.Week in Insights: TIGTA's AI Ambitions Risk Rerun of Dutch Fiasco This is a public episode.

Jay-Z, facing a lawsuit alleging the rape of a 13-year-old girl at a 2000 MTV Video Music Awards after-party, is seeking dismissal based on timing and location discrepancies. His attorney, Alex Spiro, argues that the statute under which the accuser, identified as Jane Doe, is suing became effective in December 2000, three months after the alleged incident. Additionally, Spiro contends that the described location of the assault does not correspond to any venue within New York City, suggesting a geographical inconsistency that could undermine the lawsuit's validityThese defense strategies follow earlier legal maneuvers, including attempts to reveal the accuser's identity, which were criticized by Judge Analisa Torres as inappropriate and a waste of judicial resources. Both Jay-Z and Sean "Diddy" Combs, also named in the lawsuit, have denied the allegations. The case continues to unfold, with the court evaluating the merits of the defense's arguments concerning the statute's enactment date and the alleged assault's location.(commercial at 8:56)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jay-Z Tries To Get Rape Of Minor Case Dismissed Based On Two Key Factors
