    Doctor in America, pushing addictive pills, The arrest and prosecution. Special Episode. In the ongoing battle against America's opioid epidemic, few cases have rocked the justice system as hard as the arrest and prosecution of Dr. Stan Xuhui Li, one of the deadliest pill-pushing doctors in U.S. history. At the heart of this historic case was former New York County Assistant District Attorney Charlotte Bismuth, whose relentless pursuit of justice helped bring down a man who had been exploiting the medical profession for profit, at the cost of human lives. This episode of The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast now streaming on for free on their website, in addition to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major social podcast platforms. “It wasn't just about illegal prescriptions,” said Bismuth. “This was about a doctor in America, pushing addictive pills for cash, fully aware his patients were dying.” The episode is also promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other platforms. The Start of a Historic Case In 2010, Bismuth, a young assistant district attorney, had just joined the Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor (OSNP) in New York City. That same year, a whistleblower's tip exposed suspicious activity at a Queens pain clinic run by Dr. S. Li. What followed was a sprawling investigation that would stretch over four years. Doctor in America, pushing addictive pills, The arrest and prosecution. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . Bismuth, alongside a Senior Investigator and another Special Assistant DA, worked tirelessly to trace the damage caused by Li's clinic. According to investigators, Dr. Li was seeing over 70 patients a day, mostly on Saturdays, and trading prescriptions for cash. He routinely prescribed powerful opioids like oxycodone and anti-anxiety drugs like Xanax with little to no medical evaluation. Even when warned by emergency room doctors and families that his patients were dying, Dr. Li refused to stop. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “We had evidence that patients were overdosing, yet the prescriptions continued,” Bismuth shared in an episode of her podcast, now available on Apple, Spotify, and other platforms. “The public deserved accountability. These were real lives lost to greed.” Doctor in America, pushing addictive pills, the arrest and prosecution. The investigation culminated in Dr. Li's arrest in November 2011. Over the next three years, Bismuth and her team built a case that would change legal precedent. In 2014, after a grueling four-month trial, a Manhattan jury found Dr. Li guilty on 198 counts, including Manslaughter in the Second Degree, Reckless Endangerment, and Criminal Sale of a Prescription for a Controlled Substance. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. The court heard that Li was responsible for recklessly causing the deaths of at least two patients and endangering several more. He had even prescribed 24 different prescriptions to the man behind the infamous Medford pharmacy massacre. Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan called the case a “landmark conviction.” It was the first time a doctor in New York State had been held criminally liable for overdose deaths stemming from prescription drugs. You can listen to his stories and interview on our website for free in addition to platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and other major podcast platforms. A Voice for Justice After the trial, Bismuth continued her advocacy. She was named Director of Training for the OSNP, where she emphasized ethics, family-work balance, and respect within the legal profession. In 2015, she stepped away from law to spend time with her family and to write the full story of the case. Doctor in America, pushing addictive pills, The arrest and prosecution. Her acclaimed book, Bad Medicine: Catching New York's Deadliest Pill Pusher, dives deep into the trial and the human cost of the opioid crisis. A second book, Killer in a White Coat, further explores the systemic failures that allowed him to operate for years. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. “Writing the book was painful, but necessary,” Bismuth said in an interview shared across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X. “This is about accountability. About telling the truth. About never forgetting the victims.” She donates a portion of her book proceeds to the FedUp! Coalition, and continues to speak out about the opioid epidemic, sharing her story through news media and podcast appearances.

Dr. Li's case is more than just a cautionary tale, it's a spotlight on how the healthcare system can be manipulated by those who abuse its trust. Charlotte Bismuth's dogged pursuit of justice reminds us that one doctor in America pushing addictive pills can destroy countless lives, and that prosecution is sometimes the only way to stop the damage. “Justice took years. But we owed it to the victims and their families,” Bismuth said. “We cannot allow the white coat to shield criminal behavior.” Dr. Li died in prison in April 2020, serving a sentence for crimes that shocked New York and made headlines across the nation. His case remains a stark reminder of the consequences when medicine turns deadly. Doctor in America, pushing addictive pills, The arrest and prosecution.

    There's a hidden story in the Tarot—one we don't often speak of.It's the story of the Four Queens—Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles—and what happened when they turned on each other.This message is a mythic remembrance of the fall of the ancient temples—Atlantis, Babylon, the priestesshoods—and how that collapse is mirrored in our inner lives today. When the Queens are no longer in sacred communion, the feminine grid of creation fractures, and with it, our sense of sovereignty, abundance, and trust in sisterhood.

    Amid tariff-related volatility, how are small and midsize businesses and the banks that serve them faring? On the latest episode of the ABA Banking Journal Podcast — presented by Intrafi's Banking with Interest podcast — John Buran, the president and CEO of Queens-based Flushing Financial discusses how tariff and trade policy-related volatility has compounded commercial client uncertainty based on interest rates over recent months and why uncertainty has slowed loan growth and investment. However, Buran also notes that lending has improved in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, “possibly associated with the Fed keeping rates stable since the middle of the middle of last year. So I think that has helped somewhat. Banks are staying very close to their customers . . . so that they can come out the on other side in a favorable position.” Buran also discusses opportunities for community banks to gain market share in the New York City metro area real estate market and the potential for regulatory change under newly confirmed Fed Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman.

First we have Aaron, never first in many things but here we compare him to a Full House, Queens over Jacks, because if anything we know he keeps his house full and is jack'n it to queens. Next is the venerable Nick Lynch. Of course he is a Straight Flush. A solid cast member who brings a lot to the table, but isn't always solid in other rooms of the house. Following Nick we have Savage, always traipsing behind and in this case just like real life he is pretty paltry at the table. He is High Card, other wise known as nothing and often High. But we keep him around to sit in the cuck chair. Almost last but certainly not least is Jeremy. Jeremy is 3 of a Kind.

    Quakers and a 300-Mile Testimony: Quakers Walk to Washington

    In this special interim episode of Quakers Today, Sweet Miche shares how Quakers strive to embody religious freedom and the sacred right to provide sanctuary. We feature excerpts from the Quaker Walk to Washington, a remarkable 300-mile trek from Flushing, Queens—a place steeped in the origins of religious freedom in America—to Washington, D.C. This journey of deep spiritual conviction and witness highlights the ongoing Quaker commitment to justice. You'll hear from: Max Goodman & Ross Brubeck: Attenders at Brooklyn Monthly Meeting who grew up at Sandy Spring Monthly Meeting, and two of the core organizers of the walk. Diana Mejia and Stuart Sydenstricker: Quakers from Plainfield Monthly Meeting, who lead Wind of the Spirit, an immigration advocacy center.  Imani Cruz: Global Policy Coordinator for Migrant Justice at the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC). A Journey of Faith and Action for Justice This episode delves into the "Quaker Walk to Washington," a pilgrimage rooted in the historical fight for religious freedom and the Quaker testimony of peace and justice. The walk draws direct inspiration from the 1657 Flushing Remonstrance, a courageous declaration written for Quakers facing persecution in New Netherland. This document, which asserts the right to religious liberty and the protection of all people, served as a foundational text for the walk's purpose. The episode also connects the walk to a recent lawsuit filed by Quaker meetings against the Department of Homeland Security, challenging policies that undermine the sanctity of worship spaces. The 300-mile trek itself became a profound spiritual experience. The walkers reflect on the physical challenges and unexpected moments of deep connection, such as canoeing through dense fog—a powerful metaphor for walking forward in faith even when the path ahead is unclear. The walk fostered a sense of solidarity with migrants, mirroring their uncertain journeys, and demonstrated how Quaker meetings along the route extended radical hospitality and welcome, regardless of resources. Beyond the symbolic act of walking, the episode explores the practical dimension of Quaker witness. Imani Cruz from AFSC outlines current legislative efforts to advocate for just immigration policies, including resisting increased funding for immigration enforcement and championing the Sensitive Locations Act, which aims to protect places like houses of worship from immigration intrusions legally. The walkers brought their message of justice to Washington, D.C., culminating in a powerful symbolic act of nailing a contemporary remonstrance to a door on the National Mall.

    Attending a New York Mets game at Citi Field is a phenomenal experience for locals and tourists alike. With its proximity to some excellent Asian food in Flushing, cheap ticket prices (generally), and a fun atmosphere, it's an activity we highly recommend!Brief History of Citi Field and the MetsFounded in 1962, they're based in Queens, New York, and have won two World Series championships (1969 and 1986). The team colors are blue and orange.Citi Field has been the Mets' home stadium since 2009, replacing the iconic Shea Stadium. Located in the Flushing neighborhood of Queens, the ballpark was designed as a tribute to Brooklyn's old Ebbets Field, featuring classic brick architecture. The stadium has a capacity of about 41,900 and is known for its distinctive exterior rotunda, excellent sight lines, and the Home Run Apple that rises when a Met hits a home run.It's genuinely a beautiful stadium that feels both updated and modern, yet retains its charm. I love watching planes take off and land at nearby LaGuardia Airport as the game progresses.Best Seats at Citi FieldThere are NO bad seats at Citi Field. We often scour various ticket sites for last-minute cheap tickets, then float around the stadium throughout the game.We often have the best luck on ticket prices on Vivid Seats (plus you earn rewards for free tickets).Where to Eat/Drink Before a Mets GameThere is little to nothing right next to Citi Field, so most people either eat or drink wherever they're coming from, or go to Flushing or Corona.Corona is known for Latin food, Flushing (Main St. stop on the 7) is one of the best spots in the world for Asian, and specifically Chinese food (besides China, of course).Spots in Flushing (one stop on the subway or a 20-minute walk):Nan Xiang Soup DumplingsFood court in the basement of the New World MallPeking Duck Sandwich StallChung Moo, try the homemade kimchiWhite BearThis Episode's You'll Have to Check It Out Segment - White BearCash-only and very little seating (maybe none at all post-COVID..

    This week on The Hung Up Podcast, Eric is joined by the hilarious and unapologetically insightful XD—podcaster, award winning producer, and cultural critic—for a sharp and hilarious conversation that spans the spectrum of Black queer experience. From the surge of ICE raids and public protests to the return of Noah's Arc, we dive deep into the state of (Black) Pride Month, the evolution of the DL identity, the TS Madison and Nene Leaks viral clip and why Khia and JT's moment at DC Pride had everybody talking. It's Black, it's Queer, it's real—and it's definitely not your average Pride episode.

    Send us a textHi everybody and welcome to Attendance Bias. I am your host Brian Weinstein. Get ready for some venue whiplash; after three nights at the largest indoor venue on the tour in Chicago, Phish leaves the second city to arrive in New York. More specifically, July 22 and 23 at Forest Hills Stadium in Forest Hills, Queens; home to The Ramones, Simon and Garfunkel, and Peter Parker. If you've listened to Attendance Bias for any amount of time, you've probably heard me mention that I live in Forest Hills, so today's episode is a homecoming; I don't think I've ever lived closer to any music venue. Before these shows, I've never been able to walk to a Phish concert from my front door. And who would be the best guest in the world to give a preview of this venue and this neighborhood? None other than my wife, Michela Ratto. Michela has been on Attendance Bias once before, and while I mostly give background information and context about this venue that is new to the Phish world, she gives plenty of tips and tricks to help any listeners coming to these two shows, filling everyone in on what to expect.We cover a lot in today's episode; the history of the Forest Hills Tennis Stadium, what the neighborhood is like, the best ways to get there, and of course we give our takes on the controversial headlines about the stadium that crop up ahead of every summer concert season. Ironically, this is the longest episode of this venue preview series, but there are no music clips, since Phish has not only never played the stadium before but they've never played the entire borough of Queens!So join Michela and I to get the inside scoop on the Forest Hills Stadium, our theories as to why Phish chose to play the smallest New York City venue they've played in years, and where to get the best food once you get inside on July 22 and 23rd.

    Trump Versus the United States

    First up, Georgetown law professor and former national legal director at the ACLU, David Cole, joins us to discuss the legal response to the Trump Administration's serial violations of the Constitution. Then Mike Ferner of Veterans for Peace checks in to update us halfway through his Fast for Gaza, 40 days of living on 250 calories per day, which is the average caloric intake of Palestinian survivors in Gaza. Finally, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Joe Holley, stops by to pay tribute to his mentor and colleague, the late crusading journalist, Ronnie Dugger, founder of the progressive Texas Observer.David Cole is the Honorable George J. Mitchell Professor in Law and Public Policy and former National Legal Director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). He writes about and teaches constitutional law, freedom of speech, and constitutional criminal procedure. He is a regular contributor to The New York Review of Books and is the legal affairs correspondent for The Nation.Trump is obviously not concerned about antisemitism. He's concerned about targeting schools because they are places where people can criticize the president, where people can think independently, are taught to think independently, and often don't support what the president is doing. He's using his excuse to target a central institution of civil society.David ColeThe decision on Trump versus the United States is only about criminal liability for criminal acts, not for unconstitutional acts. And violating the Constitution is not a crime. Every president has violated the Constitution probably since George Washington. That's not a crime.David ColeMike Ferner served in the Navy during the Vietnam War, and he is former National Director and current Special Projects Coordinator for Veterans for Peace. He is the author of Inside the Red Zone: A Veteran for Peace Reports from Iraq.Two hundred and fifty calories is technically, officially, a starvation diet, and we're doing it for 40 days. The people in Gaza have been doing it for months and months and months, and they're dying like crazy. That's the whole concern that we're trying to raise. And I'll tell you at the end of this fast, on the 40th day, we are not just going out silently. There are going to be some fireworks before we're done with this thing. So all I'm saying is: stay tuned.Mike Ferner: Special Projects Coordinator of Veterans for Peace on “FastforGaza”They're (The Veterans Administration is) being defamed, Ralph, for the same reason that those right-wing corporatists defamed public education. So they can privatize it. And that's exactly what they're trying to do with the VA. And I can tell you every single member of Veterans for Peace has got nothing but praise for the VA.Mike FernerJoe Holley was the editor of the Texas Observer in the early 1980s. A former staff writer at The Washington Post and a Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial writer and columnist at the Houston Chronicle, he is the author of eight books, mostly about Texas.He would talk to people, and he would find out things going on about racial discrimination, about farm workers being mistreated, all kind of stories that the big papers weren't reporting. And this one guy, young Ronnie Dugger, would write these stories and expose things about Texas that a lot of Texans just did not know.Joe Holley on the late progressive journalist, Ronnie DuggerHe knew the dark side of Texas, but he always had an upbeat personality. I had numerous conversations with Ronnie (Dugger), and he was ferociously independent.Ralph NaderNews 6/13/251. On Monday, Israeli forces seized the Madleen, the ship carrying activist Greta Thunberg and others attempting to bring food and other supplies past the Israeli blockade into Gaza, and detained the crew. The ship was part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and Thunberg had been designated an “Ambassador of Conscience,” by Amnesty International. The group decried her detention, with Secretary General Agnès Callamard writing, “Israel has once again flouted its legal obligations towards civilians in the occupied Gaza Strip and demonstrated its chilling contempt for legally binding orders of the International Court of Justice.” On Tuesday, CBS reported that Israel deported Thunberg. Eight other passengers refused deportation and the Jerusalem Post reports they remain in Israeli custody. They will be represented in Israeli courts by Adalah - The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel. One of these detainees is Rima Hassan, a French member of the European Parliament.2. Shortly before the Madleen was intercepted, members of Congress sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressing concern for the safety of these activists, citing the deadly 2010 raid of the Mavi Marmara, which ultimately resulted in the death of ten activists, including an American. This letter continued, “any attack on the Madleen or its civilian crew is a clear and blatant violation of international law. United Nations experts have called for the ship's safe passage and warned Israel to “refrain from any act of hostility” against the Madleen and its passengers…We call on you to monitor the Madleen's journey and deter any such hostile actions.” This letter was led by Rep. Rashida Tlaib, and drew signatures from Congressional progressives like Reps. Summer Lee, AOC, Ilhan Omar, Greg Casar, and others.3. On the other end of the political spectrum, Trump – ever unpredictable – seemed to criticize Israel's detention of Thunberg. In a press conference, “Trump was…asked about Thunberg's claim that she had been kidnapped.” The president responded “I think Israel has enough problems without kidnapping Greta Thunberg…Is that what she said? She was kidnapped by Israel?” The reporter replied “Yes, sir,” to which “Trump responded by shaking his head.” This from Newsweek.4. Of course, the major Trump news this week is his response to the uprising in Los Angeles. Set off by a new wave of ICE raids, protesters have clashed with police in the streets and Trump has responded by increasingly upping the ante, including threatening to arrest California Governor Gavin Newsom, per KTLA. Beyond such bluster however, Trump has moved to deploy U.S. Marines onto the streets of the nation's second-largest city. Reuters reports, “About 700 Marines were in a staging area in the Seal Beach area about 30 miles…south of Los Angeles, awaiting deployment to specific locations,” in addition to 2,100 National Guard troops. The deployment of these troops raises thorny legal questions. Per Reuters, “The Marines and National Guard troops lack the authority to makes arrests and will be charged only with protecting federal property and personnel,” but “California Attorney General Rob Bonta… [said] there was a risk that could violate an 1878 law that…forbids the U.S. military, including the National Guard, from taking part in civilian law enforcement.” Yet, despite all the tumult, these protests seem to have gotten the goods, so to speak: the City of Glendale announced it would, “end its agreement with…ICE to house federal immigration detainees.” All of this sets quite a scene going into Trump's military parade in DC slated for Saturday, June 14th.5. In classic fashion however, Trump's tough posture does not extend to corporate crime. Public Citizen's Rick Claypool reports, “Trump's DOJ just announced American corporations that engage in criminal bribery schemes abroad will no longer be prosecuted.” Claypool cites a June 9th memo from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, which reads, “Effective today, prosecutors shall…not attribute…malfeasance to corporate structures.” Claypool also cites a Wall Street Journal piece noting that “the DOJ has already ended half of its criminal investigations into corporate bribery in foreign countries and shrunk its [Foreign Corrupt Practices Act] unit down to 25 employees.”6. Americans can at least take small comfort in one thing: the departure of Elon Musk from the top rungs of government. It remains to be seen what exactly precipitated his final exit and how deep his rift with Trump goes – Musk has already backed down on his harshest criticisms of the president, deleting his tweet claiming Trump was in Epstein files, per ABC. Yet, this appears to be a victory for Steve Bannon and the forces he represents within Trump's inner circle. On June 5th, the New York Times reported that Bannon, “said he was advising the president to cancel all [Musk's] contracts and… ‘initiate a formal investigation of his immigration status'.” Bannon added, “[Musk] should be deported from the country immediately.'” Bannon has even called for a special counsel probe, per the Hill. Bannon's apparent ascendency goes beyond the Oval Office as well. POLITICO Playbook reports Bannon had a 20-minute-long conversation with Pennsylvania Democratic Senator John Fetterman on Monday evening – while Fetterman dined with Washington bureau chief for Breitbart, Matt Boyle – at Butterworth's, the DC MAGA “watering hole.” This also from the Hill.7. On the way out, the Daily Beast reports, “Elon Musk's goons at the Department of Government Efficiency transmitted a large amount of data—all of it undetected—using a Starlink Wi-Fi terminal they installed on top of the White House.” Sources “suggested that the [the installation of the Starlink terminal] was intended to bypass White House systems that track the transmission of data—with names and time stamps—and secure it from spies.” It is unknown exactly what data Musk and his minions absconded with, and for what purpose. We can only hope the public gets some answers.8. With Musk and Trump parting ways, other political forces are now seeking to woo the richest man in the world. Semafor reports enigmatic Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna, who represents Silicon Valley and chaired Bernie Sanders' campaign in California, “talked with one of…Musk's ‘senior confidants' …about whether the ex-DOGE leader…might want to help the Democratic Party in the midterms.” Khanna added, “Having Elon speak out against the irrational tariff policy, against the deficit exploding Trump bill, and the anti-science and anti-immigrant agenda can help check Trump's unconstitutional administration…I look forward to Elon turning his fire against MAGA Republicans instead of Democrats in 2026.” On the other hand, the Hill reports ex-Democrat Andrew Yang is publicly appealing to Musk for an alliance following Musk's call for the establishment of an “America Party.” Yang himself founded the Forward Party in 2021. Yang indicated Musk has not responded to his overtures.9. Meanwhile, the leadership of the Democratic Party appears to be giving up entirely. In a leaked Zoom meeting, DNC Chair Ken Martin – only elected in February – said, “I don't know if I wanna do this anymore,” per POLITICO. On this call, Martin expressed frustration with DNC Vice Chair David Hogg, blaming him for, “[destroying] any chance I have to show the leadership that I need to.” Hogg meanwhile has doubled down, defying DNC leadership by “wading into another primary,” this time for the open seat left by the death of Congressman Gerry Conolly in Virginia, the Washington Post reports. The DNC is still weighing whether to void Hogg's election as Vice Chair.10. Finally, in some good news from New York City, State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani appears to have closed the gap with disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo began the race with a 40-point lead; a new Data for Progress poll shows that lead has been cut down to just two points. Moreover, that poll was conducted before Mamdani was endorsed by AOC, who is expected to bring with her substantial support from Latinos and residents of Queens, among other groups. Notably, Mamdani has racked up tremendous numbers among young men, a demographic the Democratic Party has struggled to attract in recent elections. Cuomo will not go down without a fight however. The political nepo-baby has already secured a separate ballot line for the November election, meaning he will be in the race even if he loses the Democratic primary, and he is being boosted by a new million-dollar digital ad spend by Airbnb, per POLITICO. The New York City Democratic Primary will be held on June 24th.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.
