Send a textWhat happens when a benefits formula turns healing into a liability. We dig into the VA's now-paused plan to reduce disability pay when medication improves symptoms and explain why that logic clashes with the lived reality of trauma, pain, and long-term earning capacity. Framed as a “clarification,” the proposal sparked immediate backlash because veterans have seen this pattern before: fast budgets for war, slow debates for care.We explore the deeper issue at stake—a covenant, not a calculation. Disability compensation is not a reward for good performance on a medicated afternoon. It is a recognition that service can leave permanent marks, even when treatment helps you function in moments. From the Bonus Army to GI Bill inequities to the Walter Reed scandal, history shows how rhetoric often outpaces responsibility. Policies that penalize progress push veterans into a cruel choice: avoid healing to keep support. That is a moral failure and a policy trap.Along the way, we share clear language for understanding why medication management is not the same as restoration, how incentives shape behavior, and what “no-penalty healing” should look like in a just system. We also step back to talk mental health in an age of alarm—how to limit saturation news, reclaim agency through local action, and build embodied anchors like sleep, movement, sunlight, and real conversation. Calm isn't denial; it's disciplined presence that helps us think and care better.If you care about veteran rights, public ethics, and practical resilience, this conversation offers context, history, and tools.

There are many ways to describe Donald Trump’s second term, especially given how many of his policies and executive orders related to education and other areas have been tied up in federal courts. Legal challenges seem to follow nearly every move. Still, one recent court development hasn’t received much attention from major news outlets. Some have called it a “win for academic freedom,” but Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum sees it as more complicated than that. Also on today’s “Closer Look with Rose Scott,” Emory University’s Dr. Crystal R. Sanders and Dr. Karida L. Brown discuss the life and legacy of Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the founder of what would eventually become Black History Month. They share his dangerous pursuit of accurately telling the story of contributions made by African descended people.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A federal policy change could quietly reshape the future of the Physician Associate profession — and most clinicians don't even know it's happening.In this urgent advocacy episode, Tracy sits down with Jen Campbell, PA-C, cardiology PA, PA supervisor, and current president of the Pennsylvania Society of Physician Associates (PSPA), to break down what a proposed Department of Education rule could mean for PA students, future clinicians, and patient access to care.At the center of the issue is a redefinition of what counts as a “professional program.” If PAs are excluded from that definition, graduate loan limits could drop to $25,000 each year and a lifetime cap of $100,000, making PA school financially inaccessible for many students — especially first-generation, rural, and lower-income applicants.This isn't just a student issue. It's a workforce issue. A patient care issue. A healthcare access issue.And the most important part?There is still time to act. **Comment period ends on March 2nd**What the proposed federal rule actually says (plain-English breakdown)Why the definition of “professional degree” mattersHow loan caps could limit access to PA schoolWho will be most affected — and why that matters for patient careThe link between education access and clinician shortagesHow individual clinicians can influence policy (yes, you)Real steps you can take today to advocate for the professionIf fewer students can afford PA school → fewer clinicians graduate → patient access declines.Policies like this don't just affect training.They shape the future of healthcare delivery.If you only act on one advocacy issue this year — make it this one.Ways to help:Submit a public comment to federal regulators HERE: https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/ED-2025-OPE-0944-0001  Contact your representative or senator using www.5Calls.org Educate colleagues who haven't heard about this yet - SHARE this episode widely! Advocacy doesn't require a title.It requires a voice.Jen Campbell, PA-CCardiology Physician AssociatePA Supervisor managing 25 APPs across four hospitalsPresident, Pennsylvania Society of Physician Associates (PSPA)Advocate for clinician workforce sustainability and education accessConnect with Jen on LinkedIn or through PSPA to learn more about current advocacy initiatives.Physician Associate advocacy, PA student loans, Department of Education rule, graduate loan limits, healthcare workforce shortage, PA school cost, federal loan policy, healthcare legislation, clinician advocacy, PA profession future, PSPA president interview, AAPA advocacy, healthcare access policy, student loan reform healthcare, federal rulemaking healthcare education.You don't have to be a policy expert to change policy.You just have to speak.What You'll LearnWhy This Matters

Montana is one of a shrinking number of states that doesn't have a law regulating student cell phone use in school. Research increasingly suggests the devices play a role in rising rates of anxiety, depression and distractedness in kids. Some schools are taking matters into their own hands — and taking input from students along the way. Montana PBS reporter Hannah Kearse joined MTPR's Austin Amestoy to discuss the trend.

One of the key highlights of the Defense Department's recent memo on multi-factor authentication for unclassified and secret networks is the clarification that DoD Public Key Infrastructure — not the common access card itself — is the department's primary authenticator. Previous policies would often go back and forth between describing the CAC or PKI as DoD's primary credential, creating confusion. Plus, the memo finally introduces passwordless authentication methods designed to give service members faster, more flexible access to systems.

What is behind the push to have Ontario school boards adopt policies to combat anti-Palestinian racism? And why has it prompted an outcry of concern from many families of Jewish students, from Jewish school staff and from some Jewish human rights groups?  The Ontario government recently put more than half a dozen school boards, including in Toronto and Ottawa, under the supervision by the ministry of education. This has effectively halted official school board discussions on the issue there – for now, but the debate over anti-Palestinian racism policies, or APR for short, isn't over: it's just moved out of the spotlight. For weeks, our Mitchell Consky, The Canadian Jewish News's Local Journalism Initiative reporter, has been digging into why the campaign for school boards to adopt APR policies has become such a flashpoint, what's at stake for Jewish and Israeli families, and also for Palestinian ones, and their allies.  His story was published last week. His investigation also uncovered evidence that the Canadian government has been funding APR advocates who strongly oppose Canada's widely-accepted definition of antisemitism known as the IHRA Definition, even as the APR groups accuse this framework of causing anti-Palestinian racism.  On today's episode of The CJN's North Star podcast, Consky joins host Ellin Bessner to tell us more about his reporting, what APR is, and how the clash is playing out on the ground and in the schools. Related stories: Read Mitch Consky's investigative story about the controversy over the campaign to have school boards in Ontario adopt anti-Palestinian racism policies, in The CJN .

Shoulder and elbow injuries in pitchers are as old as baseball itself. Measures to lower the risk of these injuries have been evolving for decades, with a nationalized though heterogenous effort from state to state implemented in the mid-2010s. Adherence to pitch counts and mandatory days of rest in between outings, for example, are common restrictions placed upon pitchers to try and keep them safe. Dr. Peter Kriz, MD and his team from Boston Children's Hospital look back to see if these policies made any impact. Have the pitching restriction regulations designed to keep pitchers safe actually worked?

The insurance industry has been lying to you — telling you that if you can't sell the "right" amount of life insurance, don't sell anything at all. Meanwhile, families are left with $8,000 in savings and a GoFundMe page.In this episode, I'm breaking down why "something is better than nothing" isn't just a feel-good phrase — it's backed by the numbers. I'll show you why all-or-nothing thinking is killing your life insurance production, how small policies actually lead to bigger ones, and why your customers' reality doesn't match the way most agencies approach life insurance.If you're a P&C agent or agency owner struggling to cross-sell life insurance, this one will change how you think about every customer interaction.What you'll learn: → Why partial protection is still protection → The real reason small policies lapse (it's not the size) → How to make life insurance fit the conversation your customer is already having → The "coffee vs. five-course dinner" mistake most agents make → How $25/month policies turn into $200/month programsWant to learn the exact scripts and frameworks?

Economic policy in the second Trump administration continues to undergo significant change. Many of these changes have been enacted through executive orders. What effect have these policies had on economic growth, scientific research, and on American institutions thus far? How might they impact U.S. leadership over the long-term? Simon Johnson joins EconoFact Chats to discuss these questions, drawing on a new book he co-edited, 'The Economic Consequences of the Second Trump Administration: A Preliminary Assessment.' Simon is the Ronald A. Kurtz Professor of Entrepreneurship at the MIT Sloan School of Management, where he heads the Global Economics and Management Group. He served as Chief Economist at the International Monetary Fund in 2007–2008 and was a co-recipient of the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2024.

This eliminates the need to build separate smart contracts on each blockchain, fundamentally changing how cross-chain interactions work and opening possibilities for truly interoperable decentralized applications.2. Programmatic Wallets vs Traditional Wallets: Traditional wallets like MetaMask require manual user approval for every transaction through a front-end interface, but Ika's D-wallet introduces programmatic wallets with policy-based controls embedded in smart contracts. These wallets can execute transactions based on predetermined conditions checked against on-chain data like Oracle prices, without requiring individual user signatures. For example, a Bitcoin D-wallet can hold native Bitcoin without wrapping or bridging to a custodian, and smart contract policies determine when and how that Bitcoin can be transferred, creating unprecedented security and automation possibilities for decentralized finance.3. Inkwell's Revenue-Based Financing Model: Inkwell Finance is building Leviathan, a revenue-based financing platform for on-chain entities including protocols, AI agents, and individual traders with verifiable track records. Borrowers receive capital based on their on-chain performance metrics like sharp ratio and drawdown, with loan repayment automatically deducted from their revenue stream. The profit split structure allocates approximately 60% to borrowers, 30% to lenders, and 10% split between Inkwell and integrating platforms. This creates a sustainable lending model where flight risk is minimized through D-wallet policy controls that restrict how borrowed capital can be used.4. Wallet-as-a-Protocol and the Future of User Experience: The crypto industry is moving toward embedded wallet solutions that eliminate the friction of traditional wallet management, with Wallet-as-a-Protocol representing the next evolution beyond services like Privy and Dynamic. Unlike current embedded wallets that lock users into specific applications, Wallet-as-a-Protocol enables single sign-on across multiple applications while users maintain control of their keys. Combined with app-sponsored gas fees, this approach allows non-crypto-native users to interact with blockchain applications without knowing they're using crypto, removing the biggest barrier to mainstream adoption and creating web2-like user experiences on web3 infrastructure.5. AI Agents as Financial Entities: AI agents are emerging as revenue-generating entities with on-chain transaction histories that create verifiable track records for creditworthiness assessment. Inkwell Finance is specifically targeting this market, recognizing that AI agents will need wallets and capital to operate effectively. The programmatic nature of D-wallets pairs perfectly with AI agents, as policy controls can restrict agent behavior to specific smart contract interactions, preventing unauthorized fund transfers while allowing automated trading or revenue generation. This creates a new category of borrower that operates 24/7 with completely transparent performance metrics, fundamentally different from traditional loan recipients.6. Cross-Chain Liquidity Without Asset Transfer: Ika's technology enables users to take loans against revenue generated on one blockchain and deploy that capital on entirely different blockchains without moving their original liquidity positions. For instance, someone earning yield on Sui's Fusol protocol could borrow against that revenue stream and deploy capital on Solana opportunities, effectively creating multiple on-chain businesses that generate their own credit scores and revenue to service debt. This ability to read state across different blockchains from within smart contracts opens possibilities for multi-chain strategies that don't require withdrawing capital from productive positions, maximizing capital efficiency across the entire crypto ecosystem.7. The Convergence of Traditional Finance and Crypto Infrastructure: The regulatory landscape is rapidly evolving with initiatives like the Genius Act and Clarity Act creating frameworks where traditional financial systems merge with crypto infrastructure through mechanisms like stablecoins backed by US treasuries. Companies are increasingly establishing entities in the United States to access capital networks and Delaware's established legal framework while issuing tokens through jurisdictions like Switzerland. This hybrid approach, combined with emerging concepts like Gabriel Shapiro's "cybernetic agreements" that make smart contract parameters legally enforceable in traditional courts, suggests the future isn't pure decentralization but rather a sophisticated integration of on-chain and off-chain legal and financial systems.

As the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown continues, we explore what’s happening on the legal side of immigration enforcement. A group of court observers at Santa Ana Immigration Court is trying to help immigrants and asylum-seekers who appear there get a fair shot under the law. LAist Orange County Correspondent Jill Replogle tells us about her experience following the court observers and how what’s happening in these courtrooms determines the fate of undocumented immigrants across the U.S. We also discuss how immigrants, lawyers, and even judges are trying to keep up with the administration’s rapidly evolving immigration policies.
