Weirdos! For August's BONUS EPISODE we are focusing on an entity that has MANY faces and wears MANY hats: The bogeyman! For as long as people have been telling stories, these supernatural beings have been lurking in the woods, or in the dark alleys, or under the bed. They might look different depending on the culture they come from, or be called by another name, but their function in society is consistent: to invoke fear! References Briggs, Katharine. 1978.

In this message, Pastor Matt Piland dives into 1 Corinthians 5 & 6 to address a major tension in both ancient Corinth and modern society: the difference between cultural freedom and gospel freedom.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing how we search for information, make decisions, and even seek mental health support. But can AI therapy safely help people living with bipolar disorder? In this episode, Gabe Howard (who lives with bipolar) and Dr. Nicole Washington explore the potential benefits and risks of using artificial intelligence for bipolar management. They discuss why people may trust AI more than doctors or therapists, what can happen when an AI chatbot validates thoughts that should instead raise a red flag, and whether AI can recognize dangerous symptoms of mania, depression, psychosis, or suicidality. The conversation isn't entirely negative. AI could help reduce clinician burnout, analyze patterns in mental health data, identify potential mood changes, and give people useful ideas for sleep, routines, motivation, and self-care. Listeners will learn: how artificial intelligence can help — and harm — people with bipolar disorder why human mental health care still matters how to use AI safely and protect your mental health So where should people with bipolar disorder draw the line? Gabe and Dr. Nicole discuss the promise, risks, profit motive, and safeguards that are still needed before AI becomes a trusted part of mental health care. Pull Quote: “AI thinks really quick. So every rabbit hole I jump down follows me right along. For mania? It's gas on a fire.” — Gabe Howard, host Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning podcast host, author, and sought-after suicide prevention and mental health speaker, but he wouldn't be any of those things today if he hadn't been committed to a psychiatric hospital in 2003.Gabe also hosts Healthline's Inside Mental Health podcast has appeared in numerous publications, including Bipolar magazine, WebMD, Newsweek, and the Stanford Online Medical Journal.

"Nobody I know voted for George Bush." Michelle Cottle has heard that line her whole career, and it explains almost everything about the mess we're in. A New York Times columnist on the bubbles we live in, the family we love anyway, and why the stereotype falls apart the moment you actually know someone. Michelle Cottle writes about national politics for New York Times Opinion and hosts the Times podcast The Opinions. She and Corey trace her path from humor columnist at the Vanderbilt Hustler to covering Washington since the Clinton administration, get into what the capital feels like right now and where the 2026 primaries are heading, and land on the father she loved and could never talk politics with. The through line: the caricatures almost always break the second a real person walks into the room.

After decades in Washington, Cottle's rule is simple: if you don't know a single person who votes the other way, that's on you, not them. The media landscape pays the people ginning up our fear of each other, and the bubbles make us easy to work. You can love someone whose politics you find appalling. Her late father was a Trump voter she adored and, eventually, could not discuss politics with. Knowing him made the caricature impossible to believe. That, she argues, is the way out for the rest of us. The 2026 fundamentals favor Democrats, but the brand is toxic. A rough economy and midterm gravity cut against the party in power. Yet Democrats are radioactive enough in rural America that they're backing independents like Nebraska's Dan Osborn to take seats they otherwise couldn't. About Our Guest Michelle Cottle writes about national politics for New York Times Opinion and is a host of the Times podcast The Opinions. She has covered Washington since the Clinton administration, with earlier stops at The New Republic, the Washington Monthly, Newsweek and The Daily Beast, National Journal, and The Atlantic.

Linda Scarpa grew up loving her father. The rest of the world knew him as one of the most feared men in organized crime. As the daughter of notorious Colombo crime family hit man and FBI informant Gregory Scarpa Sr., Linda lived a life few could imagine. Behind closed doors, she knew him as a devoted father and family man. Outside the home, he was a violent enforcer whose actions left a trail of fear, bloodshed, and unanswered questions. Reconciling those two realities has shaped Linda's entire life. Linda shares her extraordinary story in The Mafia Hit Man's Daughter, co-written with Linda Rosencrance. More than a true-crime memoir, the book explores the emotional cost of growing up in the shadow of organized crime. It is a deeply personal story about family loyalty, betrayal, love, loss, identity, honor, and the lifelong struggle to separate the man she loved as her father from the man the world feared. Her story extends far beyond the pages of her book. Linda has appeared on I Married a Mobster in the popular two-part episode "Daddy's Girl," and has been featured on programs including The Joy Behar Show, The Ricky Lake Show, Mafia Women with Trevor McDonald, and Evil Lives Here. Her life has also been profiled by major media outlets including Newsweek, New York Post, Daily Mail, News Corp Australia, Men's Journal, and numerous other publications. In this episode of The Suffering Podcast, Linda opens up about what it was really like to grow up as the daughter of one of America's most infamous mob figures. This conversation goes beyond organized crime, revealing the emotional weight of loving someone capable of unimaginable violence and the lasting impact that family secrets, trauma, and unconditional love can leave on a person's life.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Patrick Clancy lost three children on January 24, 2023. Now TikTok creators are accusing him of killing them. They're comparing him to Chris Watts. They're posting theories that Lindsay didn't jump from the window — he pushed her. They're dissecting his remarriage and his testimony for signs of guilt.Lindsay Clancy's own defense team has told the jury she killed the children. The defense isn't arguing innocence — it's arguing she was not criminally responsible due to postpartum psychosis. The conspiracy theories on social media contradict the position of both the prosecution and the defense.The scrutiny has intensified during the trial. Newsweek published an analysis of the "TikTok jury" phenomenon forming around this case. The Boston Globe ran an opinion piece calling the social media coverage an indictment of public discourse. Creators are examining Patrick's remarriage to Dr. Rachel Danis, comparing his new wife to Lindsay, and framing the speed of his remarriage as suspicious.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down whether Patrick Clancy has legal options against creators who are accusing him of murder online. The difference between a protected opinion and an actionable defamation claim. Whether Patrick qualifies as a public or private figure. What the Alex Jones and Sandy Hook precedent established. And the practical reality of pursuing lawsuits against creators who are anonymous, scattered across multiple states, and unlikely to have assets worth collecting.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In week one of our GOOD NEWS series through 1 & 2 Corinthians, Pastor Jason Britt dives into 1 Corinthians 1 to explore why the message of the cross is as revolutionary today as it was in the first century. Just like ancient Corinth, our culture promises status, significance, and self-reliance—yet true freedom is found only at the foot of the cross. Discover how a bigger view of Jesus dismantles division, humbles our pride, and frees us from the pressure to be impressive.
Summer's almost done, so let's see what it left behind. A festival that forgot what made it singular. A pop star who decided the conversation about her body was not one she had to attend. And a lot of men finally admitting they need somewhere to put their stuff. Three stories, all circling the same question: What do we do with the people we watch? Labor Day is fast approaching. Consider this the end of summer receipt. First up, comedian Coltown Dowling joined Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to break down why Lollapalooza should go back to being a touring festival. They also chatted about how Heated Rivalry's Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams have been spotted around Toronto in fashionable man bags, which begs the question, are we in a man bag summer?

Congress can't solve America's biggest challenges if it's stuck—and this conversation explored why, and what it will take to move forward.On August 5, Dr. Maya Kornberg, Senior Research Fellow at the Brennan Center and author of "STUCK: How Money, Media, and Violence Prevent Change in Congress", and Congresswoman Lauren Underwood (IL-14), examined the forces that keep Congress from delivering results, including relentless fundraising demands, the growing threat of political violence, media incentives, and outdated institutional structures. Despite these barriers, both speakers emphasized that meaningful reform is possible through stronger ethics rules, campaign finance reform, better-resourced congressional staff, and a renewed commitment to making government work for the people it serves. They also challenged Americans to embrace a forward-looking vision of democracy that reflects the nation's growing diversity rather than clinging to the past.The discussion closed with a clear reminder that protecting democracy requires more than voting—it demands sustained civic engagement. With Election Day approaching, attendees were encouraged to take action every day by organizing, advocating, and helping build a government that truly represents the American people.Check out Dr. Maya Kornberg's book STUCK here:https://www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/54126/stuck?utmLearn more about the Brennan Center for Justice here:https://www.brennancenter.org/ABOUT THE SPEAKERS:Maya L.

President Trump unveiled his Gaza deal with sweeping claims of a historic breakthrough - including the complete disarmament of Hamas and an Israeli military withdrawal. But the plan is already facing major obstacles. Israel has rejected key elements of the proposal, while deadly Israeli strikes continue across Gaza and the IDF retains control over large parts of the territory. Nearly a year after the ceasefire, around 70 per cent of Gaza's surviving population reportedly cannot return home - either because their homes are inaccessible or no longer exist. With Israel restricting the entry of heavy machinery needed to clear the rubble, the full death toll remains unknown. At the same time, Trump's vision for Gaza's redevelopment looks increasingly difficult to achieve. The political consequences are spreading beyond the Middle East. With the 2026 US midterms approaching, a new generation of Democratic politicians has made Gaza and US policy toward Israel a major issue with liberal voters. Polling suggests public opinion on Israel is shifting across party lines, while the Iran War has further damaged Trump's approval ratings. Piers Morgan is joined by political commentator and author Owen Jones, whose new book is The Fall of the West, and Newsweek senior editor-at-large Josh Hammer, to debate Trump's Gaza plan, the future of Israel and Palestine - and what it all means for the future of US politics.

In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin speaks with Dr. Richard Louis Miller about what psychedelic medicine must get right as it moves toward broader acceptance. Richard explains why transparent reporting of adverse effects is essential to informed choice, where research still leaves important gaps, and how commercialization could shape access and treatment. They examine 5-MeO-DMT, group therapy, and the limits of one-to-one care. Richard also shares his approach to aging through exercise, real food, rest, and human connection. Dr. Richard Louis Miller is a clinical psychologist, author, and broadcaster with over 65 years of clinical experience in mind-body health. At 87, he continues to practice, teach, and share the tools that have helped thousands of people master anxiety, overthinking, and negative self-talk.

His work has appeared in Time, Newsweek, NBC News, and CBS News. He has also served as a consultant to the President's Commission on Mental Health and the U.S. Department of Justice. Episode Highlights: Why psychedelic science needs full transparency Balancing potential benefits against real risks Who psychedelic research frequently leaves out Illegality as an overlooked adverse effect 5-MeO-DMT and the pharmaceutical model Making psychedelic care more accessible Aging as a practice of maintenance Real connection over longevity trends Episode Links: Dr. Richard Louis Miller's website Mind Body Health & Politics Dr. Miller's book, The Adverse Effects & Therapeutic Potential of Psychedelic Medicines Instagram: @drrichardlouismiller Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-368/?ref=278 Episode Sponsors: The Microdosing Practitioner Certification at Psychedelic Coaching Institute.

Many people wonder whether their bipolar diagnosis is correct. Maybe your symptoms don't match what you've learned. Maybe other circumstances — like trauma or substance use — better explain what you've experienced. Or maybe you've simply never felt confident that bipolar disorder is the accurate diagnosis. Where do you go from here? In this episode, Gabe Howard, who lives with bipolar, and board certified psychiatrist Dr. Nicole Washington explain why diagnosing bipolar disorder is rarely straightforward, what psychiatrists actually look for during a psychiatric evaluation, and why getting a second opinion is often a thoughtful step and not an act of denial. You'll also learn why diagnosis isn't based on a single appointment, why honest conversations about symptoms and substance use matter, and how confirmation bias and other systemic issues can influence mental health care. Dr. Nicole shares what a real psychiatric reevaluation looks like, how long it typically takes, and why the goal isn't to prove someone right or wrong, but rather to find the most accurate diagnosis possible. Listener takeaways: understand why diagnosis is an investigation that takes weeks or months — not one appointment why questioning a diagnosis isn't the same as denying one how to advocate for yourself while maintaining an open mind why a bipolar diagnosis is more complicated than many people realize If you've ever wondered, "Do I really have bipolar disorder?", this conversation will help you understand what questions to ask, what to expect from the diagnostic process, and why the best mental health care is built on collaboration and not assumptions.

Mr Reich has written eighteen books, including The System: Who Rigged It, How We Fix It, The Common Good, Supercapitalism, and Coming up Short: A Memoir of My America. He is co-founder of Inequality Media, co-founder of the Economic Policy Institute, and co-founding editor of The American Prospect.Democrats have an opportunity now to talk to the working class about—and not just the working class, the middle class too—about prices, about affordability in ways that are terribly important and meaningful and that really could get prices down or at least stop the onslaught of inflation. And also that are very, very consistent with what we believe as Democrats, as progressives, as people who want to see the nation move back toward its pursuit of social justice.Robert ReichYou can bet that the right, the apologists for wealth in this country are going to say, “Oh, no, no, no, don't do that because wealthy people will leave the country!” I mean, what they always do reflexively is say, “If you do that, we'll leave.” And I say in California the same thing I would say about a national wealth tax—if they want to leave, let them leave. But they're not going to leave because there are so many advantages to staying in California in terms of: this is where a lot of the high tech talent actually is. This is where the infrastructure for high tech is already. The climate, as I talk to you, I'm looking at a beautiful day out here. You know, who wants to leave California? And if you are a billionaire, and you are just so intent on leaving California because of this one very, very minor tax, then frankly, goodbye.Robert ReichI am a believer, though, in the common sense of the American people. Now, if that makes me naive, if that makes me gullible, so be it. But I think at the end of the line, the bottom line here is that the American people will make a decision starting with the midterm elections coming up in just 96 days (something like that). And those elections are going to be critical in terms of trying to constrain Trump and the people, the sycophants and lapdogs behind him and Hegseth and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and all these people who are ripping the social contract to shreds. And I think that the one way that (this brings us back to my pledge, my affordability pledge for Democrats), I think one way the Democrats can be sure to get the House back and maybe even possibly the Senate in 96, 97 days, is to pledge to make America affordable again. And using these 10 particular steps that are widely, widely supported.Robert ReichDerek Shearer served as the US Ambassador to Finland from 1994 to 1997. Previously, he worked in government at the national, state, and local levels, including the founding board of directors of the National Consumer Cooperative Bank in 1978 and Deputy Under Secretary of Commerce for Economic Affairs in 1993. He is emeritus Chevalier Professor of Diplomacy and World Affairs at Occidental College and Diplomat in Residence at Occidental for 2025-26. During the 1992 presidential campaign, Ambassador Shearer was a senior policy adviser to Bill Clinton and helped to write the campaign's economic program, Putting People First. He has continued this policy work by co-authoring the comprehensive proposal A Bold Economic Program for America and exploring its political path forward in his recent article, Planning for the Day After Trump.The point of our program is not that it should be endorsed in its entirety. It's almost meant to be a discussion document to show what is possible—that this can be done. It doesn't require some dramatic change in the way the government operates. It just demands a change in priorities and some new lawsDerek ShearerYou can't get to those issues until you are actually in the government. And if we don't win back the House and at least have a shot at winning back the Senate, talking about these issues while Trump and the MAGA Republican Party controls the government (and might continue to control it), makes us feel good, but it doesn't change anything. What I've learned about the so-called leaders of the party is you don't really expect them to lead. They will follow when they see where the voters are going. And they'll also follow when they see if there is a Presidential candidate who takes off on these kinds of issues…I don't expect the leadership to lead on these issues. So I don't rail against them. Because what I'm doing (and I'm doing it with a lot of different people out there, including a lot of young people) is trying to find good candidates, provide them with economic ideas to run on, and then hope that we win back the House and that these kinds of then-elected officials who share our viewpoint become the Democratic Party. I mean, that's how you do these things. If we don't win these elections, then we're just kind of crying in the wilderness.Derek ShearerLet's Start the RevolutionTools for Displacing the Corporate State and Building a Country that Works for the PeopleIn his latest eye-opening exploration, political maverick Ralph Nader dissects the astonishing twists and turns of the 2020 presidential election, a race that left the nation on the edge of its seat. Although Joe Biden clinched victory with a substantial popular vote lead, Nader unveils the precarious nature of the outcome, where a mere 100,000 votes in key swing states could have catapulted Donald Trump back to the presidency. Get your copy here.News 8/7/26* This week, a new wave of Democratic primaries were held, most notably in the state of Michigan. In the closely watched Senate primary, which came down to a two-way race, Bernie Sanders-backed progressive Dr. Abdul El-Sayed emerged triumphant. Some have played up the fact that his opponent, Congresswoman Haley Stevens, overperformed relative to her polling in an attempt to downplay the significance of El-Sayed's victory. Yet, this narrative ignores the fact that Stevens enjoyed the backing of the Democratic Establishment and AIPAC, which gave her an 12-to-1 spending advantage according to Axios, and that she ran misleading ads that made it seem as though former President Barack Obama had endorsed her campaign. Viewed in this light, it is clear just how impressive El-Sayed's victory – statewide, in a must-win swing state for Democrats – is. El-Sayed will now face off against former Republican Congressman Mike Rogers in the general election.* In Detroit, the left scored another major win with the victory of Donavan McKinney. McKinney, a DSA member and Michigan state representative, won his primary race against incumbent Congressman Shri Thanedar in Michigan's 13th congressional district, the Detroit Free Press reports. Thanedar, a millionaire businessman, was a DSA member but left over disagreements over Israel. Thanedar fought hard to keep this seat, which he won in 2022, and was supported by Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries despite many members of the Congressional Black Caucus supporting McKinney. Given that this is a heavily Democratic district, McKinney is essentially guaranteed a seat in the next Congress, bringing the number of DSA-backed House Members to an unprecedented high of seven. Moreover, between McKinney and Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, the city of Detroit will now enjoy all DSA representation in Congress.* In Michigan's seventh congressional district, progressive climate activist and co-founder of the Sunrise Movement William Lawrence pulled out a win in his primary as well. NBC notes that Lawrence defeated his two more moderate opponents, retired Navy SEAL Matt Maasdam and former Ambassador to Slovakia Bridget Brink, in part by aggressively criticizing the construction of new AI data centers. Some have alleged that Lawrence received support from Republicans using dark money to boost his campaign because they believe him to be an easier candidate to defeat in the general election. However, the Hillary Clinton campaign's “pied piper” strategy to boost Donald Trump in 2016 proves that this is ever a risky strategy. Michigan's seventh district is seen as a critical battleground seat. Donald Trump won the district by just one single percentage point in 2024.* In more data center news from the Midwest, Hell Gate reports former New York City Mayor Eric Adams was in “Wisconsin Rapids—population 18,654—trying to convince residents that they should allow a real estate developer to build a data center in the heart of their town.” In a video of his pitch, the townspeople can be seen heckling, booing and shouting down the former Mayor, with attendees saying “You belong in prison!” and “You're here to steal our water!” Community activist Kaitlyn Federwitz is quoted in this piece saying “Our whole town does not want him here at all,” adding “We want our resources to be properly safeguarded, our farmers to be protected, our waterways protected.” The Wisconsin Rapids economy had been largely dependent on a local mill, which closed its doors in 2020; Federwitz spoke to this, arguing that “When the mill closed, we lost 900 jobs. We're aware we need jobs and industry in our city.” However, she added that the people of Wisconsin Rapids are “not willing to accept that a data center is the answer to that problem.”* In more news from the midwest, United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain has published a new op-ed in Newsweek contending that “Democrats Must Pick a Side: Billionaires or Working-Class.” Fain cited numerous examples of Democrats in powers betraying their working class supporters, from NAFTA to modern governors like Abigail Spanberger of Virginia vetoing collective bargaining rights for public-sector workers. He criticized Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in particular for vetoing “nine bills restoring pensions, lowering health care costs, and restoring bargaining rights for public-sector workers,” after “Michigan Democrats fought an 18-month legal battle to force the bills to the governor's desk.” He claims that “When the courts finally ordered [the bills] delivered, Whitmer vetoed all nine the same day—without so much as a phone call to legislative leaders or the unions that helped elect her.” He ends this piece with a call for “every elected official and candidate to…[reject] corporate PAC money,” and “adopt a platform that addresses the needs of working-class people.” This clear-eyed, laser focus on the working class is what has put Fain into conversation for a 2028 presidential run by some on the populist left, particularly if Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ultimately declines to run. A recent article in POLITICO quotes Bhaskar Sunkara, the 2020 Sanders surrogate and former vice chair of the Democratic Socialists of America, saying “If he's willing to run, [Fain] might be the best candidate for the left…Since he's progressive but very much says his egalitarian value system comes from his Christianity, [he] can speak in a moral language that can reach more independents than other candidates, and I think it would set a good precedent for labor.”* For the DSA left, all eyes now turn to Wisconsin, where Francesca Hong's campaign for the gubernatorial nomination continues to pick up steam. Just this week, per Wis Politics, Hong picked up the endorsement of the SEIU Wisconsin Healthcare and Service Workers. In their endorsement statement, SEIU Wisconsin called Hong “a longtime advocate and fighter for the working class,” who is “committed to building back strong labor protections by overturning Act 10 and so-called ‘Right-to-Work' laws, expanding Badgercare, and abolishing poverty wages in Wisconsin.” The union added that Hong's “support for a $20 minimum wage, adopting family-centered policies such as paid family leave and affordable child care, and enacting much-needed regulations on corporate monopolies make her the clear choice for all Wisconsinites, not just the wealthy.” Hong currently leads in the polls, despite the sitting Democratic Governor's attempts to boost her primary rival, David Crowley. Both Hong and Crowley have racked up labor support, though Crowley decidedly leads among the building trades and firefighter unions.* In St. Louis, the left experienced its biggest setback this cycle, with former Congresswoman Cori Bush losing her comeback bid against Congressman Wesley Bell by a large margin. Bush was ousted in 2024 as part of “a broader strategy by AIPAC to unseat Israel's sharpest critics in Congress, including the ‘Squad,' which Bush was a part of,” per the Missouri Independent. This piece notes that AIPAC spent over $8 million to oust Bush in that cycle and outside groups spent $7.2 million on Bell's behalf this year. Bell's official campaign outspent Bush's by a margin well over 10 to 1. Bush is the first candidate backed by National DSA to lose their race in 2026, which, while disappointing in this case, is a stunning testament to the track record of the group.* In a totally different part of the country, this week Julian Beaudion, the Democratic nominee for Senate in South Dakota, dropped out of the race. Beaudion cited personal hardships for himself and his family in his statement of withdrawal citing a recent house fire. However, many see this as an acknowledgement that the independent candidate in this race, veteran and former park ranger Brian Bengs, has a better chance of defeating incumbent Republican Senator Mike Rounds in a head-to-head matchup. This dynamic has been playing out in other states; Democratic Senate candidates have dropped out to clear the way for independents in Nebraska and Idaho already and there is immense pressure on the Democratic nominee in Montana to do the same. For his part, Beaudion will not endorse either candidate in South Dakota, according to KELOLAND News, but South Dakota Searchlight reports the South Dakota Democratic Party will not replace Beaudion on the ballot, giving the greenlight for Democrats to coalesce around Bengs in the general election.* In another primary election story, Lehigh Valley Public Media is out with a story on the strange dynamic emerging in Pennsylvania's 7th congressional district. According to this story, this race – between incumbent Republican Ryan Mackenzie and his Democratic challenger Bob Brooks, who seems to have done the impossible by getting Bernie Sanders and Josh Shapiro on the same side in a primary – has been upended by the entry of one Andrew Tupone. Mr. Tupone, a former Republican candidate, is running on the Green Party ballot line and claims to have “joined the Green Party this spring, drawn by its environmental policies on water conservancy and opposition to data centers, after growing disillusioned with both major parties.” Yet, apparently, “Green Party leaders warned in a statement this month that a wave of candidates may be posing as party members across the state.” Chris Robinson, a Green party spokesman, claims that “The party hasn't endorsed any congressional candidates in Pennsylvania and has never heard from Tupone.” Robinson adds that he “looked at [Tupone's] Facebook page, and he seems like he's a nice Republican.” According to LVPM, “a third-party candidate wouldn't need to move the needle much,” to influence the outcome of the election, noting that the current Congressman defeated the Democratic incumbent, Rep. Susan Wild by just 1 percentage point, in 2024, while “Tim Silfies, the last third-party congressional candidate to appear on a Lehigh Valley ballot, earned 8,011 votes, or 3 percent of the vote, in 2018.”* Finally, in more third party news, POLITICO reports several leading figures on the anti-MAGA right – including Congressman Thomas Massie, former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, and commentator Tucker Carlson – convened last weekend to “[sow] the seeds for a future third-party political organization…aimed at undercutting the Republican establishment.” This gang of three, joined by former Trump national security official Joe Kent, are particularly incensed by the president's intervention in Iran, with Greene writing “We said no more foreign wars and we meant it and supported Donald Trump because he made that promise. But he's betrayed us all.” This group is reportedly mulling a right-wing, third-party presidential campaign in 2028. While Carlson has declined to launch a presidential bid in the past, despite urging from within his circle, a sprawling new “10-point vision for America” he debuted during a recent stream implies that he is increasingly interested in articulating an alternative vision of right-wing politics from those espoused by Trump. This manifesto, as reported by Axios, includes everything from declassifying records on the JFK assasination and 9/11 to enforcing universal sobriety to “halting immigration until the effects of AI become clearer.” We will be watching closely to see if this effort moves forward or peters out as has been the pattern with other recent third party attempts.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

It's no surprise that horror films are often allegories for larger societal issues, like racism with Get Out (2017) or male entitlement with Curry Barker's recent Obsession (2025). But rarely does the final girl, the last woman standing to confront the killer, get a redemption story of her own. That changes with Jane Schoenbrun's Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. "I think just the genre ambiguity, the fact that it is not totally categorizable in one way," Hannah Einbinder told Newsweek's H. Alan Scott about what drew her to the project. "The way that it uses horror slasher tropes to ultimately be something that is empowering is just cool. I hadn't seen anything like it." Gillian Anderson said the impact was apparent the moment she walked onto the set. "It's one thing to read something on the page," she said. "And then there's another thing, stepping onto a set that has been so perfectly production designed and created for the sole purpose of the viewing public. There's a meta aspect of it that I don't even think I anticipated." Listen to this conversation about one of the most original films of the year. Watch the video on YouTube.

Bryan Kohberger is trying to withdraw his guilty plea and win a new trial — and he seems not to have priced what winning would cost him.He traded a trial for his life. The agreement he signed in the Idaho student murders took the death penalty off the table in exchange for four consecutive life sentences and a waiver of his right to appeal. Now he wants the agreement gone.If a judge vacated that plea, the deal dissolves — and legal experts told Newsweek that Kohberger would be facing capital punishment all over again. One former federal prosecutor called the attempt foolish, and said that if this case were actually tried, there is a very good chance he is convicted and sentenced to death. Idaho's attorney general said his office stands ready to do whatever is necessary.So the lawyer Kohberger is calling ineffective is the one who got the needle taken away, and saving his life is the failure he is alleging.Tony lays out how he got here. A witness list filed by prosecutors weeks before trial. A name on it that changed the math. A guilty plea entered days later, under oath, with the judge asking him point blank whether he actually committed these crimes because he didn't want the man confessing to something he hadn't done.And then, thirteen months later, five handwritten pages saying none of it was true.The petition is not frivolous and there is a real statute behind it. But there is a difference between a door being open and a man being able to walk through it. This episode is about exactly where that line falls, and what four families are being asked to sit through while it plays out.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Cathy Hackl on what AI is doing to brands. Fewer than 10% of the sources AI assistants cite rank in Google's top 10 for the same question. Your brand equity moved and nobody sent a memo. Cathy Hackl has spent a decade being early. She was calling the metaverse before most boardrooms could spell it. USA Today named her one of the best predictors of tech behavior in the world, Newsweek named her a top AI visionary, and she is the number one voice on LinkedIn for spatial AI. As CEO of Future Dynamics, co-founder of Journey, and Futurist in Residence at Nokia, she has guided Nike, Walmart, Louis Vuitton, and Estee Lauder through what comes next. But she did not just predict the technology. She built one of the most recognizable personal brands in tech while doing it. So this conversation is about both kinds of brand, the company one and the personal one, now that AI sits between you and everyone you are trying to reach. We get into what a slop moment really costs, and whether one machine-sounding post means you lose the benefit of the doubt on everything you have ever written. Why executives believe young audiences are fine with AI content far more than those audiences say they are. What happens to persuasion when agentic shopping goes from 19% to 46% of consumers and the buyer is software that does not care whether your brand is loved.

What happens when the companies racing to build the world's most powerful AI ask the government to slow them down—but refuse to slow down themselves?This week's AI news reveals an industry caught between enormous commercial opportunity and increasingly uncomfortable risks. Sam Altman says intelligence is becoming a commodity, predicts a “ChatGPT moment” for robotics within two or three years, and acknowledges that frontier labs may need to pace development. At the same time, leading AI figures are asking Washington to help coordinate that slowdown.For business leaders, the answer is not to pause AI adoption. It is to become more deliberate about where AI creates value, where it introduces risk, and how much control you are handing to models, vendors, and autonomous systems.In this episode, Isar Meitis connects the dots between Sam Altman's latest comments, AI models escaping evaluation environments, the debate over open-weight models, and the controversial “Pacing the Frontier” letter.In this session, you'll discover:Why Sam Altman believes AI development may need to be deliberately paced.What an unreleased OpenAI model reportedly did to escape its sandbox and access external systems.Why AI's uneven capabilities have not disrupted employment as quickly as many experts predicted.How AI is already changing software engineering and expanding who can build sophisticated applications.Why AI-powered customer service could replace much of the traditional contact-center industry.What it means for businesses when intelligence becomes a widely available commodity.Why Altman expects robotics to have its “ChatGPT moment” within two or three years.The strategic conflict between protecting open-weight AI and slowing frontier development.About Leveraging AIThe Ultimate AI Course for Business People: https://multiplai.ai/ai-course/YouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@Multiplai_AI/Connect with Isar Meitis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isarmeitis/ Join our Live Sessions, AI Hangouts and newsletter: https://services.multiplai.ai/eventsIf you've enjoyed or benefited from some of the insights of this episode, leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, and let us know what you learned, found helpful, or liked most about this show!

We've been sold the same story for years. Eat less, move more, and your weight will take care of itself. But if that formula worked, most of us wouldn't still be stuck. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Meghan Garcia-Webb, a physician board certified in internal medicine, lifestyle medicine, and obesity medicine, to talk about what health actually means and why the all-or-nothing approach was never built for how we really live. We get into my own health scare, the moment I decided to try a GLP-1 medication, and what nobody tells you about the mental noise around food until it's finally quiet. Dr. Meghan brings the clinical side, I bring the lived experience, and together we unpack what's really going on underneath the number on the scale. Here's what we cover: The real reason "calories in, calories out" keeps failing so many people, and what actually works instead What food noise is, and why most of us have no idea how much of it we're carrying until it stops What to watch for if you're considering a GLP-1, and the one thing that matters more than the scale If you've ever felt like you were doing everything "right" and still not getting anywhere, this conversation is for you. Check out the full episode page: https://thelituplife.com/post/healthy-is-easier-than-you-think-weight-loss-food-noise Meet Dr. Meghan Garcia-Webb Meghan Garcia-Webb, MD is triple board-certified in internal medicine, lifestyle medicine, and obesity medicine.

Ross Schneiderman spent his career as a reporter and editor. Newsweek, The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, ESPN. He covered mixed martial arts, then ran a foreign desk working alongside Afghan and Pakistani correspondents. In 2016 he wrote a Newsweek cover story about Mohammad Gulab, the Afghan villager who sheltered Marcus Luttrell. He never went to Afghanistan. He never covered a war. He spent six years piecing this one together anyway. For twenty years, Operation Red Wings has been told one way. Lone Survivor turned it into a legend. He FOIA'd the documents. He read the MERC chat, the debriefs, the after-action reports. He interviewed SEALs, Green Berets, and Afghan sources who were there. What he found doesn't match the movie. We go through it in order. The comms that were supposedly never made, and the records that say otherwise. The vote that never happened. The phone call, and who really made it. The stinger missile that wasn't. And why a story meant to honor four men became a recruiting tool built on things that weren't true. This isn't about tearing anyone down. Many men died doing the best they could in a terrible spot and situation. This is about what happens when an institution picks the myth over the truth.

The Texas Water Development Board doesn't have enough information about data center demand to include it in our resource projections, and they seem okay with that. A new college admissions test that emphasizes ideology over academics is approved for Texas' public universities. South Texas appears primed for a seismic shift away from Trump and the GOP, while Democratic nominee Bobby Pulido's chances to unseat his Republican opponent appear strong. And, James Talarico has officially "arrived" as Donald Trump includes him in his list of national enemies.Community Impact: https://communityimpact.com/central-austin/texas-legislature/texas-includes-minimal-data-center-info-in-state-water-plan-citing-limited-data/Texas Tribune: https://www.texastribune.org/2026/07/27/conservative-college-entrance-exam-texas-universty-admissions/Newsweek: https://www.newsweek.com/the-texas-counties-that-could-decide-whether-democrats-flip-senate-seat-12223307Texas Observer: https://www.texasobserver.org/bobby-pulido-monica-de-la-cruz-south-texas/Dallas Morning News: https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/article/trump-jabs-james-talarico-at-correspondents-dinner-22360074.phpThis election year, you can support the real free press by investing in pro-democracy, pro-justice, pro-gressive storytelling.

What if greatness isn't about the rank you achieve... but the lives you leave behind? In 2004, Brigadier General (Ret.) Dr. Sheila Baxter became the first African American woman in the history of the Army Medical Service Corps to achieve the rank of Brigadier General.But that's not the story that stayed with me. The story that stayed with me was the young basketball player from Franklin, Virginia who simply loved serving people.The lieutenant whose commander challenged her to write a 20-year career plan.The officer who almost left the Army... ...and didn't. The leader who discovered that the higher you rise, the more humble you should become. And the retired general who could have spent retirement anywhere but instead chose to serve unhoused veterans, build affordable housing, and continue changing lives.In this conversation, we talk about:▪️ Why passion matters more than titles▪️ The mentors who changed the course of her life▪️ How to stay humble while leading at the highest levels▪️ What it really feels like to carry the weight of being "the first"▪️ Why she believes Army leadership prepares you for anything in life▪️ The importance of listening before making life-changing decisions▪️ The transition from commanding thousands of Soldiers to serving veterans on the streets of AtlantaOne quote I haven't stopped thinking about:"The higher you go, the more humble you should become."This isn't just an episode for Army leaders.It's for anyone trying to become a better leader, mentor, parent, teammate, or human being.I left this conversation inspired and I think you will too.

What happens when the “perfect Christian wife” decides her life belongs to her after all? In this episode of The Rose Woman Podcast, Christine sits down with Tia Levings, New York Times bestselling author of A Well-Trained Wife and I Belong to Me: A Survivor's Guide to Recovery and Hope after Religious Trauma. Tia writes and speaks about the realities of religious trauma, evangelical patriarchy, and the trad wife life, decoding the fundamentalist influences in our news and culture; her work and quotes have appeared in Teen Vogue, Salon, Newsweek, the Huffington Post, and the hit Amazon docu-series Shiny Happy People. Together, Christine and Tia explore how high-control religion shapes women's bodies, marriages, motherhood, aging, and even our politics, why the trad wife aesthetic is so seductive right now, what happens when adult children step away from the faith of their families, and how to slowly rebuild a sense of self, boundaries, and spirituality on your own terms.

Newsweek's piece is really about transparency, not proving or disproving McConnell's survival. The article argues that after weeks out of public view, limited medical disclosures, and missed Senate votes, three questions remain unresolved: how his condition can be independently verified, why more information hasn't been provided, and what happens if he cannot return to the Senate. A Secret Service agent on Vice President JD Vance's detail was removed from duty and is under investigation after allegedly leaking information used in a report describing agents' frustrations with Vance's travel habits and family-related transportation requests.

Crystal Methyd just became the first Drag Race winner out of Missouri, and she is not slowing down. She sits down with Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to unpack her All Stars run, why she waited to return after a pandemic-era original season, and the tour she just announced: the Enchanted Forest Tour, a full stage production with dancers, puppets and chaos hitting the road soon. Then runner-up Joey Jay talks through one of the wildest arcs the franchise has ever produced: eliminated in the third bracket, brought back for the final round, then storming all the way to the top two. Joey gets honest about playing the game on RuPaul's orders, taking improv classes to sharpen the comedy, and why drag is camp first and glory second. Two friends, two very different paths to the finale, one very good conversation.

Dr. Erica Schwartz, Pres. Trump's nominee to lead the CDC, told the Senate that mRNA vaccine “technology is safe and effective” – a position that puts her in direct opposition to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., her potential future boss. Financial disclosures show Schwartz was paid over $1,000,000 by healthcare giant UnitedHealth. Naomi Wolf joins Dr. Drew to break down the shocking Senate hearing and what Schwartz's nomination could mean for MAHA if she is confirmed.
