Last week, President Trump announced that he was imposing significant new sanctions on Russia. It's an effort to cut off revenue Russia needs for its war in Ukraine. This comes at a time when Russia's oil industry is also under pressure from intensifying Ukrainian attacks on refineries, crude pipelines, and export terminals. It's also happening as producers have been ramping up output amid signs of cooling demand growth. Yet the sanctions could still bite. Especially given that the Treasury sanctions announcement came with the explicit warning that secondary sanctions—targeting buyers of Russian crude oil from these companies—could be coming next. So why did Trump take this step now? Will these sanctions be strongly enforced? What's the point of these sanctions? And what do they mean for global energy flows, energy markets and geopolitics? This week, we are sharing a recording of a Rapid Response webinar from Monday, October 27, in which Jason Bordoff spoke with three experts from the Center on Global Energy Policy — Richard Nephew, Tatiana Mitrova, and Daniel Sternoff — about these new Russian oil sanctions. Richard Nephew is senior research scholar at the Center on Global Energy Policy and a former U.S. Deputy Special Envoy for Iran. Tatiana Mitrova is a global fellow at the Center and has deep expertise in Russian and global energy markets. Daniel Sternoff is a senior fellow at the Center. He also leads Energy Aspects' executive briefing service. Credits: Hosted by Jason Bordoff and Bill Loveless. Produced by Mary Catherine O'Connor, Caroline Pitman, and Kyu Lee.

We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch five years ago, we've published more than 25,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 130,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

On September 8, the Trump Administration launched 'Operation Midway Blitz to increase the number ICE raids on immigrant communities in Chicagoland. As director of the Casa DuPage Workers Center, Cristobal Cavazos, explains to Clearing the FOG, this initially led to widespread feelings of fear by residents, but organizers turned that into power by creating rapid response teams throughout the region to alert people when ICE comes to their neighborhoods and confront the ICE agents. The teams also do outreach and hand out Know Your Rights information to community members. A growing coalition of immigrants' rights, faith, and other groups is holding protests daily, including at the Broadview detention center, despite the officers attacking demonstrators with tear gas and rubber bullets. Cavazos describes how activists throughout the country are sharing information and resources and why it is critical to be in the streets right now. For more information, visit PopularResistance.org.

Conrad Smith of Graphite Connect talks about building a network to create global efficiency, speeding up communication; and bringing you data you can trust.   IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:   [03.42] Conrad's background and career journey. “I got to Intel and they were doing procurement with paper – white, pink, yellow triplicate requisitions… it blew my mind! Intel in the 90s was THE powerhouse tech company… I showed up, and they were doing paper. That started my career into: ‘Let's figure out how to make it better.'” [06.15] How and why Conrad established Graphite Connect. “What's the difference between a fax machine and email? It isn't the same magnitude of improvement as snail mail to fax machine. It's not a printed piece of paper, it shows up in an inbox electronic, but it's kind of the same thing. And we've got to figure out how to move past that one-to-one sharing of information. We're stuck.” [14.19] An overview of Graphite Connect – who they are, what they do, and how they help their customers. “Supplier management starts with onboarding. And that step is what everyone is struggling the most with.” [18.50] The ideal client for Graphite Connect. [22.01] The biggest challenges impacting Graphite Connect customers, whether procurement can keep up with the pace of modern business, and why supplier risk and data are the ‘biggest hairball' in procurement. “Business friction is a real problem. But you can't just evaporate it, because there are suppliers and situations where risk is a significant concern. You do need friction in some places.” [27.18] Why paperwork, legal, and compliance can make it almost impossible to establish new relationships and do business, and how Graphite Connect can help ease that pressure. [34.11] Graphite Connect's Rapid Response feature, how it helps to speed up communication, and why that's so crucial. “Things happen: most recently, tariffs. And the first thing that happened was that executive teams said: ‘Which of our suppliers are most impacted by tariffs, and what does that look like?' The answer is: ‘I don't know, call procurement.'” [38.10] A case study exploring how Graphite Connect helped a grocery store chain cut down time spent on their supplier management process by 75%, reduce labor, and improve data quality. [41.26] The big AI misconception, and the best way to prepare for the future of AI now. “AI eats data, it lives on it. Data is what makes it work. And I think there's a false belief that AI is going to fix it, like: 'I have an AI magic wand and all of a sudden I'll have clean supplier data.' But it's not going to work that way.” RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED:   Head over to Graphite Connect's website now to find out more and discover how they could help you too.

Could your CO2 sensor be putting patients at risk? This eye-opening Rapid Response to Questions from our Readers episode explores a serious patient safety concern that every anesthesia professional needs to understand.We dive into two troubling cases where patients under general anesthesia developed respiratory acidosis despite normal-appearing monitoring parameters. The culprit? A semi-quantitative CO2 sensor being used in an operating room setting where it was never designed to function safely. Through detailed case analysis, we uncover how the Nihon Kohden cap-ONE TG920P CO2 analyzer—which operates on the assumption that inspired air contains zero CO2—failed to detect dangerous rebreathing when CO2 absorbers became exhausted.What makes this situation particularly concerning is that these semi-quantitative sensors display waveforms similar to their quantitative counterparts, creating a false sense of security. Dr. Amrutha Bindu Nagella shares her firsthand experience discovering the problem and her recommendations for preventing future incidents. We also hear Nihon Kohden's response, including their commitment to improving device labeling and safety warnings.This episode highlights a critical knowledge gap that exists when technology moves between different clinical environments without proper understanding of its limitations. Whether you're an anesthesiologist, CRNA, anesthesia technician, or hospital administrator making purchasing decisions, this information could prevent a potentially dangerous situation in your operating room.
