For our "Sunday Context" episode, go back to the Clinton administration and look at how Republicans swept into power in 1994. It allowed them to present a new version of the GOP -- and organize a unified opposition to Clinton just as the Lewinsky scandal was exploding. Jody and Niki are joined by pollster and author Kristen Soltis Anderson.Join our America250 newsletter community!

This week on Ask Farnoosh, Farnoosh kicks things off with a behind-the-scenes look at a whirlwind week in journalism and media. She shares highlights from her recent interview with Senator Cory Booker about his bold new “Keep Your Pay Act” proposal, which would eliminate federal income tax on the first $75,000 of income, and discusses what that could mean for working Americans. She also reflects on being featured in Kiplinger's latest issue on the best financial advice experts have ever received, sharing a career lesson that shaped her own path: learning to earn money not just from what you do, but from what you know. Plus, Farnoosh announces her upcoming free webinar on March 26 about how to land a big book deal (register using the link).Then, a quick breakdown of the latest money headlines that matter for your wallet: mortgage rates climbing back above 6% and what that means for today's “frozen” housing market, the widening K-shaped economy separating households that are thriving from those struggling with rising costs, and early signs that the once-hot job market may be cooling—along with why now is a good time for a financial check-up.In the mailbag, Farnoosh tackles listener questions including: • Should high earners prioritize Roth 401(k) contributions or diversify across other retirement strategies? • What to watch out for when a financial advisor pushes variable universal life insurance instead of traditional investing. • Creative ways families are making childcare and daycare costs more manageable. • How a teenager's part-time income and assets can affect FAFSA eligibility and college financial aid.

Paying subscribers will also hear our conversations about a number of additional lawsuits, including some especially weird ones:* Voting machine maker Smartmatic's parent company under indictment over bribes its former executives are alleged to have paid in the Philippines, alleges that it is being selectively and vindictively prosecuted.* Anthropic suing over the Pentagon's “supply chain risk” designation that threatens the company's business. The company makes First Amendment claims, but Ken thinks its less glamorous arguments — like that the designation violated everyone's favorite law, the Administrative Procedure Act — are more persuasive.* Nippon Life Insurance Company of America suing OpenAI, the makers of the ChatGPT AI engine. Nippon says it has been dogged by a vexatious litigant — she decided she didn't like the settlement she'd signed with the company, and when her human lawyer advised her that settlements are a no-backsies kind of situation, she fired him in favor of the AI engine that gave her the advice she wanted to hear: sue, sue, sue. Nippon says this is tortious interference with the valid settlement contract they'd entered with their aggrieved former policyholder. Because tortious interference requires knowledge of the contract you're interfering with, this lawsuit turns an interesting philosophical question into an interesting legal one — did OpenAI “know” that Nippon had a settlement, simply because their former policyholder told ChatGPT about it?* And Ed Martin appears to be the Justice Department official with some especially stupid bar trouble.Upgrade your subscription to receive all of our episodes at serioustrouble.show.

It's one thing to thank God before a meal. It's another thing entirely to thank Him before sending off a tax payment. For many Christians, taxes are rarely associated with gratitude. They often feel like a burden—an interruption to our financial plans or resources we'd rather use elsewhere. But Scripture invites us to view taxes through a very different lens. Instead of seeing them merely as a loss, believers can see them as a reminder of God's provision and His sovereignty, and as an opportunity to live with integrity. Why Taxes Stir Frustration Few topics unite people quite like a shared dislike of paying taxes. It's easy to think, if I could just keep that money, I could do something better with it. And when government policies conflict with our convictions—or headlines highlight waste or corruption—resentment can grow even stronger. Yet Scripture calls us to approach the issue differently. Instead of responding with frustration alone, the Bible encourages gratitude, humility, and trust in God's sovereign rule. In Matthew 22:17, the Pharisees tried to trap Jesus with a political question: “Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?” Jesus responded by asking for a coin and pointing to the image stamped on it. His reply has echoed through history: “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” (Matthew 22:21) This answer was remarkable. Taxes under Rome were deeply unpopular. Rome was an occupying force, and tax revenue helped sustain a system that oppressed God's people. Yet Jesus did not call for revolt or avoidance. Instead, He acknowledged that paying taxes fits within God's ordering of society while making it clear that our ultimate allegiance belongs to God. Coins may bear Caesar's image, but our lives bear God's image—and they belong fully to Him. Trusting God's Sovereignty The apostle Paul reinforced this principle in Romans 13:6–7, writing during the reign of Nero—hardly a model of righteous leadership: “Because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God… Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed.” Notice what Paul does not say. He doesn't ground obedience in the goodness of government. Instead, he points to the sovereignty of God. Paying taxes, then, is not primarily an expression of confidence in a human system. It is a recognition that God ultimately rules over nations, leaders, and history itself. Taxes Reveal God's Provision There is another perspective on taxes that believers often overlook. Before you pay a single dollar in taxes, something has already happened: God has provided. A mentor of mine, Ron Blue, often says around tax time, “Taxes represent God's provision.” If God had not provided income, there would be no taxes to pay. Think about it. Taxes imply that: Work was available. Income was earned. Needs were met. Daily bread was provided. In other words, taxes—uncomfortable as they may feel—are evidence that God has supplied what we need. Gratitude allows us to see provision before we see loss. Instead of asking only, How much am I paying? We can ask, What does this reveal about God's faithfulness? Integrity in a Culture of Loopholes This perspective also shapes how Christians respond during tax season. In a world full of shortcuts, loopholes, and justifications, believers are called to something different: integrity. Honesty in financial matters—especially the ones no one else sees—forms Christlike character. Filing accurately, reporting honestly, and paying what is owed becomes an act of discipleship. It's a quiet but powerful testimony of a life shaped by trust in God rather than self-protection. Turning Taxes into a Spiritual Discipline Finally, paying taxes can even become a spiritual discipline. Each time you write that check or submit that payment, let it prompt you to pray. Pray that God would guide leaders with wisdom, justice, and humility. Pray for policies that protect the vulnerable and promote the common good. Pray for leaders who recognize their need for God's guidance. You may disagree with those leaders. You may even oppose their policies. But Scripture reminds us they are still people made in God's image—people who need God's help just like the rest of us. In a culture eager to complain, believers have the opportunity to respond differently. When tax season arrives: Remember the Owner: God owns everything, including the income from which taxes are paid (Psalm 24:1). Recognize the Provider: Taxes remind us that God has provided resources in the first place. Respond with Integrity: Honesty reflects a heart that seeks to honor Christ. Reframe with Gratitude: Thank God for His provision rather than focusing only on what is owed. Respond with Prayer: Let taxes prompt intercession for leaders and systems of government. When viewed through the lens of Scripture, even something as mundane—and often frustrating—as taxes can remind us of deeper truths: God provides, God rules, and God calls His people to live with gratitude and integrity.

We're breaking down a major Marvel Secret Wars Iceman Win alongside a grading Wiff that cost four times the figure's value. From Tales from the Cryptkeeper gems to technical glitches that nearly tanked the show, this episode of Wednesday Wins and Wiffs covers the best and worst of the hobby.

We took a road trip for spring break. Flights were outrageous. Gas was fine. Made sense.But I built in the seasonal spike. I always do. Spring break demand, summer blend switchover, refineries making the switch... I planned for all of it.What I didn't plan for was a war.A war that nobody voted for. A war launched while this country was already behind on mortgages, behind on student loans, behind on car notes... and bleeding jobs at a pace we haven't seen since World War II.In Episode 33, I'm getting into all of it. The gas prices hitting families right now during one of the busiest travel periods of the year. The delinquency numbers that were already at historical highs before the first bomb dropped. The 300,000+ federal jobs gone and the unemployment rate that's now past 4% and climbing. And the one thing war has always been really good at... distraction.This isn't political. This is financial. This is real.War is hell at home. War is hell on your wallet. And the people absorbing the cost aren't in the Situation Room.They're at the pump. They're 90 days behind on a mortgage. They're refreshing their email waiting to hear back on a job application.I'm Stoy Hall, and this is Let's Get Real. No guests. No filter.

If you've grown your business beyond a solo practice with a small team, you've likely learned the hard way that one bad hire can derail momentum, create internal chaos, and hold your entire business hostage.In this episode, I'm excited to have leadership expert, author, and HR strategist Tom Healy on the podcast. Tom has worked with high-performing organizations, including the U.S. Navy, Harvard Medical School, and Fortune 500 companies, and he's spent decades helping businesses scale the right way — with structure, accountability, and culture at the center.We unpack the mistakes founders make when hiring too fast, how poor performers slowly sabotage organizations, and the exact systems you need to have in place to prevent one person from controlling your business.3 of the biggest insights from Tom …#1.) It's Okay to Overpay for A-Players The cheapest hire is often the most expensive mistake. High performers operate like owners, stay longer, and eliminate the hidden cost of turnover. Paying above market isn't reckless, it's strategic.#2.) Poor Performers Will Hide When There's No AccountabilityIf you don't have clear KPIs, you don't have leverage. Vague feedback creates arguments. Objective metrics create clarity. A-players want coaching. B and C players resist it.#3.) No One Should Be Able to Hold Your Business HostageWhen all knowledge lives inside one person's head, you're exposed. Document systems. Build an internal knowledge center. Consider fractional talent. Structure creates freedom.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/159FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALTwitterInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.

What does it really take to go from pre-professional student to professional ballet dancer? Charlotte Junge, a company member with Madison Ballet, shares the unfiltered version of her journey from competition dance roots in Houston to training at Boston Ballet School through the height of COVID, to landing her contract via an Instagram DM from Artistic Director Ja' Malik. But the conversation doesn't stop at the audition story. Charlotte gets refreshingly honest about the financial realities of dancing at a smaller non-union company, the side jobs it takes to make rent, and the performance anxiety that caught her completely off guard once she turned professional. She also talks about how becoming a certified Pilates instructor gave her a second career path, a deeper understanding of her own body, and something she didn't expect: a sense of identity outside the studio. Charlotte's story is a masterclass in resilience, self-awareness, and figuring it out one season at a time.

Your AC just broke. The repair quote is sitting in front of you. Before you say yes — read this.Most homeowners ask the wrong question when their system fails. They ask "how much is this repair?" when the real question is: what's it going to cost me to keep this thing alive for another two or three years — and will I ever get that money back?In this episode I walk you through the exact framework I've used for 20+ years to help homeowners make this decision clearly — no pressure, no pitch, just the math and the market reality.What we cover:→ Why the repair bill is the wrong number to focus on→ The gut-check formula that tells you repair vs. replace in 60 seconds→ What your aging system is already costing you every month on your power bill→ Why equipment costs are up in 2026 — tariffs, refrigerant transitions, rising materials→ The three age brackets that determine your best move→ Why spring is the right time to have this conversation — not JulyIf your system is 15 years old and just handed you a $1,000 repair bill, that's $15,000 by the formula. A new system is often less than that — and comes with a warranty, better efficiency, and no more surprise bills.

This week on “50 Weeks That Shaped America” series, we go to fairly recent history — and the rise of the modern media-driven political scandal. During the government shutdown of 1995, Bill Clinton started a sexual relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. A couple years later, world of the relationship would begin to leak, leading to a massive scandal and, eventually, Clinton's impeachment. Much of this was fueled by a new media environment — blogs, Drudge, talk radio, and an ascendent FOX News. We get into it all.Join our America250 newsletter community!

Departures define Day 1 One day into the NFL legal tampering period, the Detroit Lions saw exits, not arrivals. Four Lions agreed to terms elsewhere. Those agreements are not official until the league year opens Wednesday. Nothing meaningful has landed on the incoming side yet, especially on defense. It is early. Less than 24 hours in. But the shape of the roster is shifting. Alex Anzalone to Tampa Bay Linebacker Alex Anzalone is headed to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The reported deal is two years for $17 million. He is 32. He has an injury history, though he has been largely durable in Detroit outside of a broken forearm. Tampa Bay gets help. Detroit loses a starting linebacker. Taylor Decker was released. He is no longer with the Detroit Lions. That move stood out as the only fully completed transaction on Day 1. Cap math squeezes the middle This is the cost of a top-heavy roster. Big deals for core stars like Jared Goff, Penei Sewell, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Aidan Hutchinson, and Kirby Joseph crowd the middle tier. The Lions also chose to pay Derrick Barnes on a three-year, $24 million deal. You cannot carry that many linebackers at premium rates. Paying a third linebacker $8.5 million per year does not fit when the top of the pyramid is that heavy. Decisions have consequences. Scheme pivots and the RB plan Detroit leaned on three-linebacker packages more than any other team last season. With Anzalone gone, a pivot makes sense. A 4-2-5 structure is on the table. Two linebackers with five defensive linemen in certain fronts. A full-time slot defender. More snaps for a hybrid linebacker-safety type. That path matches the personnel pressures and modern NFL spacing. The backfield changes too with David Montgomery departing. Late last season, once Dan Campbell took over the offense, the second back settled into 8–12 touches per game. That should hold. Feature Jameer Gibbs. Keep the ball with Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Sam LaPorta. The No. 2 running back should complement, not command, the attack. He will not be the reason you win many games. Day 1 brought more subtraction than addition for the Detroit Lions. The next moves will signal whether this front office leans into lighter boxes, faster coverage, and a clearer pecking order at running back. The window just opened. The blueprint is already visible. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #nflfreeagency #taylordecker #cademays #alexanzalone #bradholmes #larryborom Learn more about your ad choices.

More production.Dr. Luis Gutierrez proves that's simply not true.Luis isn't running a $20M operation. He doesn't work five days a week. He doesn't grind 60-hour weeks. Instead, he planted intentional seeds early — paid off nearly $800,000 in student debt aggressively, invested relentlessly in CE, chose a smaller community, kept overhead disciplined, and built systems that support the life he wanted.And now? He's harvesting.In this episode, Luis shares how he went from dental school in Peru to rebuilding his career in the U.S., opening a startup in a small New Mexico town, and creating a lifestyle most orthodontists only talk about. This isn't about hype. It's about planning. It's about discipline. And it's about designing your practice around your life — not the other way around.If you're early in your career… overwhelmed by debt… or wondering whether private practice is still worth it — this episode will reset your mindset.Quotes“Failure to plan is planning to fail.” — Dr. Luis Gutierrez“It's so much fun to harvest what you planted years ago.” — Dr. Luis GutierrezKey TakeawaysWhy lifestyle design — not production numbers — is the real goal.Moving to a small town and “owning it” (13:04)Paying off $800,000 in student loans aggressively (10:43)Why living like a resident for a few years changes everything (10:43)Working only three clinical days per week (18:20)Taking 14 vacations in one year — with intention (18:29)Investing in 10 CE courses per year for 10 straight years (25:10)Building systems to eliminate blind spots (26:54)Why private practice is still absolutely viable (24:17)The planting vs. harvesting mindset (30:10)Additional ResourcesIf you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to build the life you actually want — start by asking yourself:What seeds am I planting right now?Am I investing in myself?Am I designing my practice… or just reacting to it?If this episode resonated with you, share it with another orthodontist who needs to hear it.And if you want help building your plan — reach out.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 67: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump is in essence paying to provide Iran with the location of our forces in the Middle East. Our ships, jets, troops. Trump has just waived part of the embargo against Russian oil. So Iran’s ally Russia can sell MORE oil to India to get more money. Thus Russia can spend that money to gather more information on where American forces are IN the war. So Russia can give that information TO IRAN, and reportedly is, AND nobody in the Trump Rogue Government is denying it. Trump is in effect paying Russia, to help Iran attack Americans in this war. And in case you had doubts over Russia's loyalty, its minister to Britain just repeated on television there that it is not neutral in this war, that it is siding with Iran and will help it., So, what’s that called again? When you’re fighting a war, and people in your government help a country that’s helping the country you’re fighting the war AGAINST? What’s that called again? Tree Surgery? Trea-Ting? Trea... Never mind the other problems: we a) have no business being there; b) we are not winning; c) we are going to be there for years or d) Trump is going to have to cut and run or e) Trump's setting us up for an Iranian revenge terror attack here. And just to follow up on the End-Of-The-World Rapture religious crap motivating dozens of US military commanders, one Senator has actually joined the hallelujah chorus: Senator Cramer of North Dakota says we are there because of a BIBLICAL COMMITMENT to Israel. Iran: it is far worse than you think. B-Block (38:30) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: It's a full scale pie fight over in Fascist Media. Megyn Kelly, Bill Ackman, Nepobaby Tucker Carlson, Grand-Nepobaby Buckley Carlson, and others all attacking each other - it's delightful. Then there's US Weekly's disastrous post about the passing of a celebrity-adjacent figure. And if you haven't heard this you won't believe it. They've managed to position the "White House" sign perfectly behind Karoline Leavitt in just the perfect place so when she stands all the way to her left, it reads behind her... Well, no, I'm going to make you listen to find out. C-Block (49:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I told somebody this story the other day so now I'll tell you. If you can envision me, Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough, Lester Holt, and Jesse Ventura inside an MSNBC men's room talking about inches - this story is for you. Happily it was about our new president and how he was the tallest man any of us had ever met who was clearly lying about his own height. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this Man-Splain It to Me Monday, we're diving into the controversial idea of paying for sex—yep, we're going there.

When you get an invitation to be showcased, it feels really good, right? But, sometimes the invitation is followed by one big decision: To gain the exposure, there's an investment. So now what? Is paying for visibility a smart accelerator… or a cash grab that leaves you with little to show for it? In Episode 481 of Amplify Your Success Podcast, I walk through the pros and cons of paid media, podcast placements, sponsorship stages, and magazine features. Paying for exposure isn't inherently good or bad. It can absolutely speed up authority positioning and help you gain access to new audiences – but only if it lines up properly with your strategic conversion system. Before you say yes to any "pay to play" opportunity, there are specific filters to consider. I outline the three foundational business factors that determine whether exposure can convert, along with four evaluation metrics that reveal whether the opportunity gives you true access or just surface-level attention.  When it comes to investing in visibility, the goal isn't just more exposure. The goal is visibility that accelerates your goals. If you've ever wondered whether paying for media is worth it, this episode will help you filter emotion from strategy and make a grounded decision based on where you are in your growth trajectory.   Key Takeaways: [00:00] Why paying for visibility is not inherently wrong but can become an expensive test without the right structure. [03:27] The three common paid visibility models: sponsorship stages, pay-to-play media, and podcast placements. [10:40] The first critical factor: Do you have a defined marketing budget to acquire new leads? [11:17] The second factor: Will this opportunity put you in front of aligned buyers, not just general exposure? [12:03] The third factor: Do you have a clear conversion path once attention is captured? [12:50] The four metrics to evaluate before saying yes: alignment, distribution depth, access, and conversion ecosystem. [17:09] What to ask a podcast host before paying for placement. [20:21] Why most visibility fails to monetize and how to fix it. [22:25] When paid visibility makes sense at Stage 1, Stage 2, and Stage 3 of business growth. [25:52] Why visibility multiplies what's already in place, not what's missing.   Resources Mentioned in This Episode: The Rising Tide Collective is an online community where experts and leaders come together to co-create visibility opportunities and aligned collaborations that lift everyone up.

Our featured guest this month is CJ Cox, COO of Black Hills Information Security, interviewed by Frank Victory. News from City of Denver, Block, Zvelo, Lares, FusionAuth, RADICL, Ping Identity, Red Canary and a lot more! We often talk about cybersecurity as a series of technical hurdles, but CJ frames it through Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. At the bottom? Paying the mortgage and surviving the 4th-quarter burnout. At the top? Self-actualization. Doing great work with cool people. But here's the kicker: CJ argues that real security doesn't come from the name on your badge or the company you work for. It comes from your internal capability to learn and adapt. We're experimenting with a new, long-form format on the podcast to explore these "human" elements of the industry—the leadership, the culture, and the "why" behind the "how."Check out the full episode where we discuss: Why BHIS says "No" to multi-million dollar buyouts. The "Borg" effect of corporate acquisitions. Why building a SOC is a three-year slog, not an "easy button." Come join us on the Colorado = Security Slack channel to meet old and new friends.

For our "Sunday Context" episode, we look at another speech by Abraham Lincoln, one he gave in 1860 at the Cooper Union in New York City. Before the speech, he was relatively unknown and not considered a viable candidate for president in that fall's election. This speech changed everything.Jody, NIki, and Kellie discuss how the speech both boosted Lincoln as a candidate, but also laid out his intellectual vision — one that was as much about continually evolving ideas on slavery as anything.Join our America250 newsletter community!

Montgomery to Texans, Gibbs takes lead The Detroit Lions traded David Montgomery to the Houston Texans. It was a business decision. The return matters, and so does the timing. Free agency is a few days out. The Detroit Lions Podcast framed it around role and value. Amon-Ra St. Brown said on his podcast that Montgomery wanted a bigger role. The Lions are prioritizing Jameer Gibbs. That tracks with how the backfield evolved. Paying heavily for a clear No. 2 over the next two years did not fit the plan. The haul: Day 3 picks and Juice Scruggs Detroit landed a 2026 fourth-round pick and a 2027 seventh-round pick. That was more than many expected. Those selections become currency on draft weekend. They let the front office move around the board. The deal also brought interior offensive lineman Juice Scruggs. He has center and guard versatility and around 20 career starts in Houston. The appeal is obvious. He can step in across the interior and stabilize depth at a low cost. The read here is that he looks better at center than at guard. Backfield usage and value calculus Gibbs is the priority. He earned it with early-career production. The Lions will feature him and live with that decision. Montgomery is a good NFL running back. He could start for several teams. At times, there was frustration about his usage in Detroit. He set a tone as a runner when fed. But giving premium dollars to a No. 2 while preparing to extend Gibbs is tough. This move aligns resources with roles. Detroit can add a complementary back through the draft or free agency if needed. The key is volume and fit next to Gibbs, not a one-for-one replacement. Center question, free agency clock Scruggs also touches the bigger question inside. Center is unclear right now. The position will have people guessing until the moves land. Scruggs profiles as a swing interior player who can handle snaps in a pinch. Free agency arrives soon, and the board will shift quickly. The NFL combine chatter feeds that, and the Lions will have options. With two day-three picks added and a flexible interior piece, Detroit gained room to operate. This was about clarity. Prioritize Gibbs. Add picks. Fortify the line. Then attack needs when the market opens. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #davidmontgomerytrade #jahmyrgibbs Learn more about your ad choices.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.serioustrouble.showThis week Ken and Josh discuss how The Trump Administration surprised observers by withdrawing its efforts to appeal its losses against all four law firms that challenged its legal orders against them. Then, it surprised observers again by changing its mind and asking to appeal the cases after all. We discuss why, whether you're allowed to do that, and what happens to the nine firms that didn't fight when the other firms win.We also look at a strange letter from the Department of Justice to state bar associations, telling them they'll have to pause investigations into DOJ lawyers, or else. It's unclear what authority DOJ thinks it has here, but they may be upset about a Florida Bar investigation into Lindsey Halligan. And we talk about news that DOJ tried to come up with a way to do a criminal prosecution related to President Biden's autopen, but didn't.That's for all listeners. Paying subscribers get a whole lot more this week:* You'd think, now that the IEEPA tariffs have been thrown out, customs would stop charging them to importers. You'd be wrong! The customs bureau keeps finalizing tariff payments including the now-barred IEEPA charges — in a filing issued after we taped, they argued their computers won't let them stop — but Judge Richard Eaton from the U.S. Court of International Trade has told them to cut the crap and refund taxpayers' money. Ken and I discuss how this episode might affect the next round of tariff litigation over the new legal authorities the administration is leaning on to replace IEEPA.* There's Administrative Procedure Act news! Judge Lewis Liman says the Trump Department of Transportation can't end New York's congestion pricing program, in an order that Ken calls “149 pages of pain.” One of the issues? As often happens with APA cases, the DOT said New York couldn't challenge its move because they hadn't actually imposed a “final” agency action. Unfortunately for DOT, President Trump last February tweeted a picture of himself wearing a crown and declaring “CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD,” which sounded pretty final to Liman.* We have an update on West Virginia judges resisting the Trump administration on ICE.* We look at why Tom Goldstein couldn't save his own ass in court, discuss the superseding indictment with a whopping 39 defendants in the St. Paul ICE Church protest case, and we discuss the prosecution in Alabama of a woman who dressed up as a giant penis for a No Kings protest. Local prosecutors argue, among other claims, that she sought to mislead officers as to her identity by saying her name was “Antifa,” and that her huge penis costume was so distracting that it constituted a criminal traffic hazard.Upgrade your subscription to receive all of our episodes at serioustrouble.show.

Co-hosting with producer Eric Travis breaks down Affirm's new "buy now, pay later" rent option—splitting monthly rent into zero-interest biweekly payments. They debate cash flow hacks, reminisce on $600/month SoCal apartments now Zestimated at $1,600+, and praise rent-tech like Bilt for credit-building points. On this episode we talk about:   Affirm + Isuzu pilot: Split rent biweekly (no interest/fees) via $10-50/month memberships that report payments to credit bureaus—helps cash flow, not affordability.   Eric's confession: Used fee-free biweekly rent; Travis okays it as the one BNPL he's fine with (unlike shoes/phones).   Rent sticker shock: Eric's old $600 1BR now ~$1,658; Travis's 2018 Vegas 3BR/4BA went from $2,600 to $4,800+ Zestimate.   Bilt love: Pay rent/mortgage with credit card for points (shoutout founder); gamified quizzes make bills fun.   Lifestyle creep: Cheap rents build wealth nostalgia, but "never going back"—location > size if you can walk to casinos/pizza. Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Biweekly rent splits (zero interest) ease cash flow without extra cost—ideal if paid biweekly, risky if monthly salary mismatches.2.  Rents double every ~7 years while fixed mortgages don't—owning locks predictability as utilities/rates rise.3.  Use tech like Bilt for rent points/credit; systems easing big bills (rent = largest expense) free mental space for income growth. Notable Quotes   "This doesn't feel like buy now, pay later... It's just splitting it up into two payments. That feels almost like a better situation for the landlord."   "If this system makes more sense for you to conserve the money... then sure, split it up."   "Set up systems that make it easier to accomplish your goals, rather than trying in the difficulty of the systems you already have." ✖️✖️✖️✖️
