Did PTSD exist in the Old West, and if so, did it contribute to the violence of the frontier? Join me as we explore how trauma affected soldiers and civilians alike long before the condition had a name, from Civil War veterans suffering from what was once called soldiers' heart or Da Costa's syndrome to rising rates of alcoholism, domestic violence, and institutionalization across the United States. Using historical research, homicide statistics from frontier towns like Dodge City and San Francisco, and modern scholarship, we'll examine whether PTSD was a driving force behind Old West violence or one factor among many. And stick around to the end for another listener Q&A!

Sweeping Government Overhaul: Project 2025's Bold Vision for a Unitary Executive Branch

Project 2025: The Ominous Specter

Project 2025 began quietly, as a 900-page manual from the conservative Heritage Foundation called Mandate for Leadership. According to Heritage, its goal is to prepare “the next conservative president” to remake the federal government from day one, with a pre-vetted army of appointees and draft executive orders ready to sign.At its core is a simple but sweeping idea: place almost the entire executive branch under direct presidential control. Heritage authors invoke the “unitary executive” theory, arguing that agencies like the Department of Justice and the FBI should no longer operate with traditional independence. Project documents call DOJ a “bloated bureaucracy” that has “forfeited the trust” of Americans and urge making the FBI director “personally accountable to the president,” reshaping federal law enforcement priorities and civil rights enforcement, as summarized by PBS NewsHour and the Mandate itself.To make that vision real, Project 2025 leans on a hiring category known as Schedule F. The National Federation of Federal Employees explains that the plan would reclassify large numbers of civil servants as at-will employees and replace them with ideological loyalists, eliminating long-standing job protections against political interference. Heritage allies describe this as clearing out the “administrative state”; unions and watchdog groups describe it as opening the door to political purges across the bureaucracy.The scope reaches every corner of government. The Mandate proposes abolishing the Department of Education entirely, shifting its programs to states and to the Department of Health and Human Services, and folding the National Center for Education Statistics into the Census Bureau. It urges dismantling the Department of Homeland Security and replacing it with a streamlined immigration-focused agency combining Customs and Border Protection, ICE, TSA, and parts of Justice and Health and Human Services, as detailed in the Project 2025 chapters on immigration and education.Economic regulators are also targeted. The document calls for eliminating the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, abolishing the Federal Trade Commission, shrinking the National Labor Relations Board, and merging the Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Bureau of Economic Analysis into a single, politically directed statistics office, according to the Project 2025 overview compiled by Wikipedia and summaries from public-sector unions.Supporters argue this would cut red tape, boost fossil fuel production by rolling back environmental rules, and, in their words, “destroy the administrative state” that they see as blocking conservative policy. Critics, including the ACLU and Democracy Forward, warn that concentrating so much power in the White House could weaken checks and balances, politicize data, and threaten protections for workers, immigrants, and marginalized groups.The next major milestones hinge on elections and transition planning: whether a future administration formally embraces this blueprint, how much Congress will accept, and how courts respond if sweeping executive orders test the limits of presidential power.

The story of Project 2025 begins not on Election Day, but long before, in the quiet offices of the Heritage Foundation, where conservative policy experts assembled a nearly 900‑page blueprint called “Mandate for Leadership.” According to Heritage, the goal is simple and sweeping: prepare “the next conservative president” to overhaul the federal government on day one, using prewritten executive orders, a handpicked personnel roster, and a detailed 180‑day playbook.At its core, Project 2025 envisions a presidency with far greater direct control over federal agencies. Heritage's documentation argues for a robust “unitary executive,” calling for the Department of Justice and the FBI to be brought firmly under presidential authority and for the FBI director to be “personally accountable to the president.” Wikipedia's summary of the plan notes that independent regulators like the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission would lose much of their autonomy, reshaping how antitrust, consumer protection, and media rules are enforced.Listeners can see this ambition most clearly in proposals for the civil service. The National Federation of Federal Employees explains that Project 2025 leans on an idea known as Schedule F, a Trump‑era classification that would let the White House reclassify tens of thousands of career officials as political appointees. Heritage materials describe this as replacing a hostile “administrative state” with loyal staff, while unions and watchdogs warn it would strip protections and open the door to patronage and purges.The scope goes well beyond personnel. The blueprint urges abolishing the Department of Education and shifting most authority to states, with the National Center for Education Statistics folded into the Census Bureau. It says the federal role should be largely “statistics‑keeping,” accusing Washington of pushing “woke propaganda” in schools. In homeland security, it calls for dismantling the Department of Homeland Security and replacing it with a streamlined immigration‑focused agency built around border enforcement components, according to reporting summarized on Wikipedia.Economic and social policy would move sharply in a conservative direction. The plan calls for rolling back environmental regulations to favor fossil fuels, cutting corporate taxes, exploring a flat income tax, and reducing Medicaid and Medicare spending. The ACLU, which has published an overview titled “Project 2025, Explained,” warns that these shifts, combined with proposals to curtail civil rights enforcement and expand the federal death penalty, could weaken protections for immigrants, LGBTQ people, and communities of color.Supporters frame all this as restoring accountability and reversing what they see as liberal overreach. Critics at groups like the Brennan Center for Justice argue that concentrating power in the White House and politicizing law enforcement risks eroding checks and balances that have underpinned American governance for decades.The next key milestones will come as candidates decide how fully to embrace this playbook, and as voters weigh whether they want a presidency empowered to carry it out.

On September 5, 1982, 12-year-old paperboy Johnny Gosch left his West Des Moines home before dawn to deliver the Des Moines Register—and never returned. His red wagon was found two blocks away, still loaded with undelivered papers. Witnesses reported Johnny speaking with a stocky man near a blue two-toned car, and another man seen trailing him moments later. Within minutes, Johnny vanished.In this episode, we dig into one of America's most chilling missing-child cases—and the fallout that changed the country. We reconstruct Johnny's last morning, then unravel an investigation marked by early missteps and delays that fueled Noreen Gosch's relentless campaign for reform. Her advocacy helped end mandatory waiting periods for missing-child cases through the Johnny Gosch Bill and contributed to the broader national push that led to the creation of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. We also examine the haunting pattern of other Des Moines-area disappearances, including paperboy Eugene Martin in 1984 and Marc Allen in 1986—cases still unsolved and often viewed through the same lens of fear and possibility. The story takes darker, more controversial turns: the testimony of trafficking survivor Paul Bonacci, who said he was forced to participate in Johnny's abduction and later won a civil judgment after a federal judge found his account credible; Noreen's claim that an adult Johnny visited her in March 1997; and the disputed photographs left at her home in 2006. We lay out what's alleged, what's documented, and why the case remains so fiercely debated.Finally, we cover Noreen Gosch's updated allegations naming John David Norman and Phillip Paske as potential perpetrators—claims that remain unproven but continue to shape public theories about the case. As of 2025, Johnny Gosch has been missing for more than 43 years. No arrests. No confirmed sightings. Just a family still searching and a case that refuses to die.

During the three-plus years that I've been hosting this podcast, I've welcomed a diverse range of guests. They've exhibited demographic diversity, of course, but also other forms of diversity—including diversity of opinion and experience.So I was embarrassed when I recently noticed that although I've interviewed more than a dozen current and former judges, only two have sat on state courts (and by the time I interviewed them, those judges—Rolando Acosta and Debra Wong Yang—had left the bench). Put another way, I have not, until today, hosted a sitting state-court judge—a considerable omission, considering the significance of state courts. As noted by the National Center for State Courts, “State courts play a critical role in our democracy, handling about 96 percent of all legal cases in the United States.”I set out to remedy this gap—and was delighted when Justice David Wecht, a longtime friend, agreed to join me. He's a timely guest: last month, he and two of his colleagues were reelected to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, for which I named them Judges of the Week. Why? Their court is one of the most important state courts in the country—for reasons I discussed with Justice Wecht on the episode.In our conversation, we also covered the justice's interesting path to the Pennsylvania high court; why he believes young (and not-so-young) lawyers should get involved with their communities; certain unique features of the Pennsylvania Constitution, as well as its relationship to the U.S. Constitution; and, of course, his recent reelection to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.Congratulations to Justice Wecht on his reelection—and thanks to him for joining me.Show Notes:* Justice David N.

Comments or feedback? Send us a text! In this episode of Thoughts on Record, we're joined by Drs. Robyn D. Walser and Darrah Westrup—two of the world's leading experts in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and trauma treatment. Their new book, You Are Not Your Trauma, offers a compassionate and practical guide to healing that helps readers move beyond symptom management and toward a life anchored in meaning, connection, and psychological flexibility.  In this conversation we explore the book's three-phase model of trauma recovery:Building safety and foundational skillsEngaging in exposure and experiential workReconnecting with values, identity, and life directionThroughout the conversation, Drs. Walser & Westrup discuss the central ACT principle that healing is not about erasing traumatic memories but changing our relationship with them. They emphasize how trauma often narrows a person's world—through avoidance, emotional numbing, and self-protective habits that once served a purpose but now limit growth. ACT offers a path toward gently expanding one's life again, guided by values rather than fear.This episode is ideal for clinicians, trauma survivors, and anyone interested in a more flexible, humane approach to trauma recovery.BiosDr. Robyn D. Walser is Director of TL Consultation Services, Associate Director at the National Center for PTSD, and Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of California, Berkeley. A leading figure in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dr. Walser has co-authored multiple books and over 60 peer-reviewed articles. Her work focuses on trauma, mindfulness, and clinical innovation, and she is widely regarded as one of the foremost experts in ACT for trauma recovery.Dr. Darrah Westrup is a licensed clinical psychologist, trainer, and author with decades of experience in treating trauma and anxiety-related disorders. She previously served as the Director of Training and Dissemination at the National Center for PTSD and has been instrumental in adapting ACT principles for wide-scale use in both clinical and non-clinical settings. Dr. Westrup brings a clinician's nuance and a trainer's clarity to her writing and therapeutic work.

It is a momentous occasion when Judson wears an entirely black outfit. Brian takes his family to the fantastic new revival of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee off-Broadway, where his daughter joins the cast for the afternoon. Judson crowdsources an internship for a new friend he met by chance over ramen. The Hookup of the Week comes from a sub who finds a deeper connection with one of his regular Doms. The two are then joined by Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases before his fiery resignation this summer. Having also served as the CDC's Director of HIV Prevention, the White House's Deputy Coordinator of the National Monkeypox Response in 2022-2023, and the Deputy Commissioner of NYC's Department of Health, Dr. Daskalakis brings an incredible wealth of knowledge, experience, stories and sexy Daddy energy to the Dads and Daddies studio.

He then joins Brian and Judson for a mini Go Ask Your Dad Extravaganza, tackling three listener-submitted questions about communicating when one tests positive for an STI, conquering a debilitating fear of HIV, and handling the discovery of an open sore during an anonymous sex encounter.

Think your kid's phone is just a screen? Think again. It's an always-open door. A Pandora's box you can only regret you shut. We sit down with Ben, The Family IT Guy, a 30-year cybersecurity veteran and dad, to map the new terrain of digital parenting: algorithm-driven feeds, anonymous chats, sextortion, deepfakes, and the quiet ways addictive design erodes sleep, focus, and safety. No panic, no fluff—just the playbook families need right now.From there, we tackle platform myths. Roblox's parental controls still let young kids into explicit spaces. These dopamine driven app designs and their origins make it a magnet for predators and sextortion. The rule of thumb is clear: avoid algorithms and open DMs. If a product can scroll forever or message anyone, treat it as high risk.To watch Episode #87, like and subscribe: https://youtu.be/1Syc0LbBInESextortion gets the spotlight it deserves. Criminal networks now use AI to forge nude images from everyday photos and clone voices from short clips. The guidance is firm: don't pay, tell a trusted adult immediately, file with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and use Take It Down to remove images. Build a family tech agreement that includes a “free pass” when kids report harm—predators rely on shame and silence. We also dig into schools' devices, expanding surveillance tech, and why privacy can't be assumed.AI isn't the villain or the savior—it's a power tool. Used unsupervised, it can short-circuit thinking. Used well, it helps kids ask better questions and break problems into first principles. Our stance: kids don't use AI alone; adults learn it first and model critical thinking. By the end, you'll have clear rules, smart tools, and scripts to talk with your kids without fear or lectures.If this helped, follow, share with a parent who needs it, and leave a review so more families can find these safety tools.

The girl who was afraid of the dark, who couldn't sleep without her stuffed purple dolphin, was about to become the center of one of the most heartbreaking cases in American true crime history.Jessica was a cheerful third-grader who loved singing, helping others, and spending time with her dachshund, Corky. She lived with her father Mark and grandparents Ruth and Archie in a small community where neighbors knew each other. The night she disappeared, she'd just returned from church, been tucked into bed by her grandmother, and fell asleep clutching her favorite toy. By morning, both Jessica and her dolphin were gone.This case matters because it exposed critical failures in sex offender monitoring and directly resulted in Jessica's Law—legislation that now protects children across the United States with mandatory minimum sentences and lifetime electronic monitoring for predators.Content Warning: This episode contains detailed discussion of child abduction, sexual assault, and murder. It includes graphic details about the victim's captivity and death. Listener discretion is strongly advised.In This Episode:The Investigation: How law enforcement conducted a massive three-week search involving hundreds of volunteers, bloodhounds, helicopters, and multiple agencies—while Jessica was hidden just 65 yards from her home the entire time.The Perpetrator: John Evander Couey, a registered sex offender with a history of violence who was living with his sister next door to Jessica, and how systemic failures allowed him to reoffend.The Aftermath: The heartbreaking discovery, Couey's confession, his death before execution, and how Jessica's death led to the creation of Jessica's Law and Jessie's Place Children's Advocacy Center—saving countless children through strengthened protections.Resources: If you or someone you know needs support, please contact the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678) or visit www.missingkids.org.

Anaiah Walker entered the Arizona foster care system at age 13. Before her 14th birthday, she was trafficked by adults posing as teenagers online. By age 15, she ran away from several group homes and was officially listed as a missing child with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Just after her 16th birthday, she was supposed to testify against her abusers in court, but on May 22, 2020, Anaiah was found dead in a ditch on Interstate 10 near Watson Road. Her cause of death was high-velocity impact. She has never received justice. The Buckeye Police Department is searching for a 2016 to 2018 Honda Civic EX or LX in the color Midnight Burgundy Pearl. They say the owner may have replaced the driver's side door mirror cover, the front bumper, and the left front fog light cover after Anaiah's death. Anyone with information about Anaiah's death or whereabouts before her death is asked to call Silent Witness at 480-948-6377. You can also submit tips online at silentwitness.org.

A frantic phone call, an abrupt departure, and then… silence. When Everett and Lydia Thompson disappear along with their two young sons, the trail leads to one man whose story keeps changing. But instead of swift action, investigators initially delay and brush off a family's cry for answers. Potentially giving the suspect time to erase evidence – and the Thompson family themselves. Nearly thirty years later, their fate remains a chilling mystery that may have been solvable from the start.If you know anything about the disappearance of the Thompson family, call the Chicago Police Department's Missing Persons Division at 312-745-5020 or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678).If you or anyone you know is thinking about suicide, please be aware that emotional support can be reached by calling or texting the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988, where trained counselors are available 24/7 to provide support. Source materials for this episode cannot be listed here due to character limitations.
