The staff and volunteers at Heart of the Hamptons Food Pantry work hard year-round to feed hungry Southampton residents. But 2025 has been a particularly difficult year for those facing food insecurity. Reductions in federal funding for pantries and the added pressure of suspended SNAP benefits means the pantry is feeding more families than ever. This week, the editors are joined by Molly Bishop, executive director of Heart of the Hamptons Food Pantry, to talk about how she and her crew are meeting the need as they settle into their new location at 44 Meeting House Lane in Southampton Village.

In this episode, host John Beckner sits down with Ronna Hauser, NCPA's senior vice president of policy and pharmacy affairs, and Mark Ey, RPh, senior vice president and COO, about how recent wholesale acquisition cost (WAC) reductions are reshaping the market — and what independent pharmacists can do now to protect their margins. They break down what's driving these changes, and the practical steps pharmacies can take to save thousands of dollars.

On this Public Health Thank You Day, ASTHO's Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Susan Kansagra, joins us to share encouraging news from the front lines of public health. Thanks to increased partnerships with birthing hospitals and the rollout of monoclonal antibodies for infants and the maternal RSV vaccine, infant RSV hospitalizations dropped nearly 30–40% last season, one of the most significant improvements in years. Dr. Kansagra also discusses a major decline in overdose deaths, driven by expanded community partnerships, naloxone distribution, peer support specialists, and innovative response programs.  Looking ahead, she explains what's next with the new $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Grant, how states plan to use this funding to strengthen workforce, behavioral health, chronic disease prevention, and health technology, and reflects on the collective hard work of the nation's public health workforce heading into the holiday season.

Mark Levy didn't hold back on quizzing Fire and Rescue NSW Commissioner, Jeremy Fewtrell, with the tough questions after it was revealed a new strategy to reduce the number of people on trucks in rural towns was being proposed. Fewtrell explained that resources in our state's rural areas were thin, and that the usual four-man requirement for trucks was proving hard to accommodate, while outlining a two-man tanker strategy consisting of some part-time firefighters. Levy hit him with the hard questions, including whether it would impact lives and the way firefighters respond to people stuck in a burning building.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The University of Michigan's November consumer sentiment survey, and October private sector job cuts tracked by outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas, have raised concerns the US economy may be entering a recession. But data from ADP, state-level initial jobless claims, and the Chicago Fed's unemployment estimate, all paint a picture of a healthy economy. A closer look at the Challenger data, however, suggests the reason for job cuts is Artificial Intelligence. While AI might be able to displace humans in technology companies, it is unlikely to replace workers in many other sectors anytime soon. Still, it is clear labour is a primary worry in the market.

In everyday spoken American English, we often use reduction. Here, reduction means we shorten or soften sounds when we speak. It's when certain words or syllables lose their full sound to make speech smoother and faster. Today, let's look at three really common reductions: lemme, gimme, and gemme.Like, instead of saying let me, we reduce it to lemme. The T sound at the end of let, is dropped. Lemme. You can say things like, “Lemme see that.”  “Lemme know when you're ready.” or “Lemme know what time the meeting starts.” Lemme. And instead of saying give me, we reduce it to gimme comes from give me.The V sound at the end of give, is dropped. Gimme. You can say things like,  “Gimme a second.” “Gimme that pen.” Or “Can you gimme a hand moving this desk?. GimmeFinally for today, instead of saying get me, we reduce it to gemme. The T sound at the end of get is dropped. Gemme. You can say things like, “Gemme a coffee, please.”  “Can you gemme a towel?” Or, “You're going for donuts? Can you gemme one?”These reductions happen naturally in everyday casual conversation. And reductions aren't a lazy way of speaking. They're just how people really talk smoothly.  So next time you hear lemme, gimme, or gemme, you'll know the meaning. And when you use them yourself, your English will sound smoother and more natural.Build Vocabulary With My Free Vocabulary Workshop: https://learn.myhappyenglish.com/vocabulary-workshop-signup

There's a moment every HR professional remembers — that first email, that first conversation, that first tremor in the air when “return to office” stopped being a policy discussion and started being personal. Three years ago, the message was simple: Stay home, stay safe. Now it's: Come back. And in between, everything about how we work — and what we value — has changed.In this episode of Human Solutions, Pete Wright sits down with AIM HR Solutions' Tom Jones and Annette Dupree to explore the strange, often uneasy middle ground between flexibility and structure, empathy and compliance. It's a story about the quiet negotiations happening in every workplace — between leaders trying to rebuild culture and employees trying to preserve the balance they finally found.Annette starts with something deceptively simple: mindset. What if return-to-office isn't about control, but reconnection? What if the message isn't we need you here, but we miss you here? From that shift, a thousand possibilities open up — from reimagining flexibility to reframing belonging.Tom, meanwhile, brings the legal lens: what happens when compassion meets compliance? When a doctor's note becomes a line in the sand? He explains the fine print of the interactive dialogue — that delicate conversation between employee, manager, and HR that determines what's possible and what isn't. It's the kind of process that sounds bureaucratic but, done right, can restore trust instead of eroding it.And then there's the harder truth: sometimes, it isn't about coming back. It's about who comes back. Reductions in force test the soul of an organization. Tom and Annette walk through how to make those decisions — how to document criteria, avoid bias, and resist the all-too-human temptation to let frustration drive strategy. Because when layoffs happen, the work doesn't end. It shifts.This is an episode about the messy, necessary work of being human at work — and the leaders who try, every day, to get it right.

Ralph Keiser, CEO of ArcheHealth, highlights the severe financial pressures that hospitals are confronting as a result of rising costs and declining reimbursements. Reductions in reimbursements are threatening hospitals that serve underinsured populations. Costs are increasing due to tariffs on medical device components and the general price inflation on medical supplies and drugs.  ArcheHealth is focused on helping hospitals improve operational efficiency to lower the expense of delivering care. Ralph explains, "The tariff index is going to come mostly around medical devices and device components. So plastics, metals, packaging, things that the device manufacturers use to deliver their products to hospitals and health systems, those will likely get passed through. It won't be huge incremental costs, so there will be additional costs due to tariffs. It depends on a couple of things. Do you have a strong contract that sort of embargoes your current price? Then maybe in the next contract term you'll see that pass through or the contract so the supplier to pass through, you'll see them. We're monitoring month by month the current or last month's spend was on these items, and do we see a chart impact by manufacturer by line." "One thing that I want to make sure we talk about, too, isn't just shared impact. So the cost to a hospital for devices and drugs averaged 8.9% more in 2024. So just by nature of the market raising its prices for goods that hospitals use to cover patient care, those moved up without tariffs 8.9% last year. We think we're tracking increases that are happening despite the tariff overlay or on top of the tariffs. We still think that the pressure on hospitals is due to the price of therapeutics, and is going to continue to go up, tariff or not. And so I want to mention that because this is the ongoing impact of the cost of MedTech and drugs that gets passed through to the consumer." #ArcheHealth #AIinHealthcare #HealthTech #HealthcareOperations archehealth.ai Download the transcript here

Starting next year, the Army will be able to domestically mass-produce upwards of 10,000 small unmanned aerial systems each month, according to the service. Army Materiel Command is leading a new pilot program dubbed “SkyFoundry” that will allow the service to rapidly develop, test and produce small drones using innovative manufacturing methods. Officials are currently identifying multiple facilities where the platforms will be designed and produced. The department expects it can manufacture at least 10,000 UAS per month once the first site is up and running, Army Vice Chief of Staff Gen. James Mingus said Tuesday. He said during a fireside chat at the annual AUSA conference: “We'll be at 10,000 a month by this time next year, if not more.” The effort comes as the Pentagon looks to ramp up production of small drones across the services following Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's “Unleashing U.S. Military Drone Dominance” directive, issued in July. The memo requires low-cost, attritable drones to be fielded to every Army squad by the end of 2026 and calls on the military to partner closely with domestic industry to scale up manufacturing. Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., sent a letter Tuesday to acting CISA Director Madhu Gottumukkala raising concerns about staffing levels and the direction of the nation's primary cybersecurity agency, writing that the “Trump Administration has undertaken multiple efforts to decimate CISA's workforce, undermining our nation's cybersecurity.” Swalwell, the ranking member on the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection, called out the agency for its reported shift of cybersecurity personnel to the Department of Homeland Security's deportation efforts, on top of the approximately 760 people that have been let go from the agency since January. Swallwell wrote: “Amid reports that the Department of Homeland Security is now forcibly transferring CISA's cybersecurity employees to other DHS components, it has become apparent that the Department's exclusive focus on its mass deportation campaign is coming at the expense of our national security,” calling it “further evidence of the Administration's failure to prioritize cybersecurity” how CISA is engaging in Reductions in Force that could threaten its capacity to prevent and respond to cybersecurity threats. In the letter, he demanded that DHS cease all efforts to cut CISA's workforce, reinstate employees who were transferred or dismissed, and provide details on the impacts of the agency's workforce reductions.

What's going on? The “most important fish in the sea” just exposed one of the biggest management failures in decades. A new assessment shows Atlantic menhaden natural mortality was inaccurately estimated for years, causing quotas set 300 million pounds too high. A significant, immediate reduction is necessary to align with science-driven management and right the course of a critical forage fish. The Atlantic fishery needs to “take the cut”, and the industrial reduction fleet needs to front a majority of that reduction. We can no longer accept half the coastwide catch being taken from the Chesapeake Bay. The Gulf fishery lacks a quota. It is shocking that an industrial operation of this scale has no upper limit in 2025. This can no longer be true, and buffer zones should not be repealed in any capacity. The fallout of upcoming meetings could reshape both the Atlantic and Gulf fisheries — and what happens next is up to us.

They discuss why government shutdowns happen, what determines what functions keep operating, how the Trump administration is using this shutdown to pursue novel cuts to the federal workforce, and how to think about the shutdown in the broader context of the Trump administration's exercise of executive power.For more on this topic, see the following articles:In Lawfare:“A Primer on Reductions in Force,” by Nick Bednar“Don't Use Shutdown Plans to Slash the Federal Workforce,” by Bridget Dooling“Reductions in Force During Shutdowns,” by Nick Bednar “Reductions in Force During Shutdowns: Easier Said Than Done,” by Nick BednarFrom the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities:“Understanding the Legal Framework Governing a Shutdown,” by Sam Berger“Administration Plans for Mass Firings in a Shutdown Not Justified by Law or Prudent Management,” by Sam BergerTo receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
