The repercussions of the U.S. and Israel's war with Iran continue to be felt across the Middle East. However, Lebanon has become the most active second front in the continued conflict between the US, Israel and Iran. Israel began its military assault on Lebanon after the Iran-backed militia Hezbollah fired rockets at Israel as a show of solidarity with Iran.The U.S. and Israel's war in Iran is not just a regional crisis. It's reshaping political dynamics across the Middle East, with global repercussions.Kim Ghattas, journalist and author of Black Wave: Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the Forty-Year Rivalry That Unraveled Culture, Religion, and Collective Memory in the Middle East, offers her view from inside Lebanon, and the changing dynamics across the region.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.

The relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and Reid Hoffman, the billionaire co-founder of LinkedIn and prominent Silicon Valley investor, developed in the years after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor—an association that has drawn significant criticism. Hoffman moved in many of the same elite philanthropic and academic circles that Epstein cultivated, particularly through connections to scientific research and artificial intelligence initiatives. Epstein positioned himself as a financier and broker of relationships between wealthy donors and institutions, and Hoffman was among the influential figures who interacted with him in those environments. Reporting later revealed that Hoffman had visited Epstein's private island in the Caribbean and attended gatherings involving Epstein, which immediately raised questions given that these interactions occurred well after Epstein's criminal history was widely known. Although Hoffman has said the visit was brief and that he regrets the association, the optics of a major technology figure socializing with Epstein years after the conviction have remained deeply troubling.Critics argue that Hoffman's relationship with Epstein reflects a broader pattern in which powerful elites continued to treat Epstein as a useful connector despite his documented history of abusing minors. Hoffman has claimed that his interactions with Epstein were limited and primarily related to introductions within philanthropic and academic circles, but that explanation has done little to quell scrutiny. The controversy intensified when it emerged that Hoffman had been part of discussions and events tied to Epstein's network of donors and researchers, reinforcing the perception that Epstein was able to rehabilitate his reputation among wealthy and influential figures. For many observers, the episode highlights a persistent moral blind spot among members of the financial and technology elite: the willingness to overlook Epstein's criminal past in exchange for access to money, influence, or connections. In that context, Hoffman's association with Epstein has been viewed not merely as a lapse in judgment but as another example of how Epstein maintained social legitimacy among powerful people who should have known better.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

This episode opens with global tension as President Trump publicly signals he wants direct involvement in selecting Iran’s next supreme leader, a claim he echoed in multiple interviews as the U.S.–Iran conflict expands across the region. Trump rejected the possibility of Mojtaba Khamenei—son of the late Supreme Leader—succeeding his father, saying the U.S. should help choose Iran’s next leader, a stance documented by U.S. News, KPBS, and Al Jazeera reporting on the growing war and Trump’s comments. The show then shifts to hip-hop drama as 50 Cent fuels speculation about a Surviving T.I. & Tiny documentary by referencing a now-deleted Instagram post and comparing his silence to the lead-up of his Diddy project. Recent reporting from The Source highlights how this rumored doc could spotlight past allegations involving the couple, adding a sharp edge to the already tense feud. The entertainment world gets lighter when Queen Latifah takes to Instagram to confirm she is “100% A-OK” after a viral Facebook death hoax sparked confusion across social media. Articles from TheGrio and E! Online confirm her message and the major production deal she recently signed with Lifetime, further proving she is alive, well, and booked.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement is using a variety of tools to surveil folks they want to intimidate and apprehend. That web helps federal agents find people to deport. But it also allows them to identify U.S. citizens who criticize the federal government and its policies.NPR has compiled dozens of stories of people caught up in the surveillance web. Some were monitoring ICE activities and found themselves in interactions with agents who identify them by their names and home addresses. NPR's Scott Detrow talks with Meg Anderson and Jude Joffe-Block who have been collecting the stories, and tracking ICE's surveillance tactics.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.

When Bhavitha Mandava got word that she was cast as the Chanel Bride for Matthieu Blazy's highly anticipated Spring 2026 couture show, she approached the role the same way she tackled her research papers at NYU. She headed straight to a Paris library to pore over books on couture and watched every Chanel bride video she could find. “Then I came up with a story in my head. I was like, okay, I'm going to view the audience around me as if they're my friends and family, and I'm going to view the runway as if I'm walking down the aisle.” She told Chioma Nnadi on The Run-Through following her British Vogue cover.Mandava also made history as the first Indian model to open a Chanel show for the Métiers d'Art 2025 2026 fashion show, staged in a New York City subway station. In a full-circle moment, she wore an outfit reminiscent of what she had on the day she was first scouted.“I was on my way to grab biryani with a friend after getting rejected from an interview,” she recalled. “I was waiting for him at Atlantic Avenue when my now ‘mother agent' came up to me and asked, ‘Are you a model?' I said, ‘No.' And he said, ‘Do you want to be one?'”Initially skeptical, Mandava was ultimately persuaded by the prospect of paying off her school debts. Just a few months later, she had fully launched her modeling career and amassed more than 500,000 followers. “My dad is collecting every newspaper,” she said. “He's clipping all the articles about me like The New York Times. I don't even know how he got it. They don't ship to India.”Earlier in the episode, our fashion week coverage continues with Chloe and Arden Fanning Andrews, Vogue's beauty editor-at-large. Reporting live straight from the car after Jonathan Anderson's sophomore collection for Dior, they share their first impressions. Highlights from the show are: the epic lilypad shoes, Love Story's Paul Anthony Kelly dancing to the runway music, and the “wiglets” (you must listen to find out what that is!). Reflecting on the greenhouse setting, Arden made one bold prediction: “Sweat is in”. You heard it here first, folks!The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

Today, Hunter was joined by Kyle Giddings and Rebecca Wallace to discuss how tough on crime types shape Colorado criminal justice policy. From the outside looking in, one could be forgiven for thinking that Colorado is one of the most progressive states in the country. After all, it was one of the few places in America that broke towards the left in the 2024 election. Despite the complete control of the government by the Democratic party, Colorado still pursues tough on crime policies. Today, Hunter and guests try and explain how that happens.

Every day there are stories and alerts shared of new scams reminding us that the fraud landscape changes quickly. To stay safe, it's important to build good habits, improve your digital security, and use helpful tools to avoid, report, and recover from scams.

Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter! Learn more about Triangle Credit Union **Note: Better Checking is not an insurance product. Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast. It's National Consumer Protection Week (NCPW), a time of year devoted to maintaining personal security and fighting fraud. Hosted by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), this important awareness week was established to help people better understand their consumer rights and take proactive steps to protect themselves. This year, the FTC's message is clear: Avoid. Report. Recover. Practicing these three steps regularly can make you much more resilient to today's fraud tactics. In this tip, we'll explain more about how you can “stay faster than fraud” by putting these actions into practice. The first action, Avoid, is a reminder to help spot the fraud before it causes you to act. Scammers rely on urgency. They want you to react fast instead of thinking things through. To avoid scams, try making small changes, like pausing before clicking a link, checking if a request is real, and seeing urgency as a warning sign. These quick pauses can help you avoid falling for scams. Another way to avoid fraud is to learn about the types of scams that target consumers. Scams are always changing, so it's important to stay up to date. Common scams include identity theft, impostor scams, job scams, and phishing. They also use current events to make their tricks seem more believable. Looking ahead, experts warn that in 2026, scammers are expected to use new hooks tailored to economic anxiety, like relief‑payment scams, bogus job offers, and highly personalized AI‑powered impersonation schemes. Knowing these patterns and warning signs ahead of time helps protect you and others from becoming the next victim. Keep in mind that fraudsters also take advantage of digital weaknesses, so it's important to strengthen your security. Use strong, unique passwords with a trusted password manager, turn on multi-factor authentication when you can, keep your devices and software updated, and avoid doing financial transactions on public Wi-Fi. These steps greatly lower your risk of account takeovers and data theft. And of course, it's important not to share too much personal information on social media or respond to unexpected requests for details. Scammers may send emails or texts that look like they're from people or organizations you trust. Being careful and a bit skeptical helps keep your information safe. The next part of the FTC's action plan is to report any scams you encounter. Many people don't report scams because they think it won't help. But the FTC says the opposite is true. Reporting scams helps spot trends, guide enforcement, and warn others about new threats. Sharing your experience helps the fight against fraud. For identity theft cases, the FTC offers a dedicated resource website: IdentityTheft.gov. This one‑stop site hosts a collection of resources for consumers to use to report fraud. The site can help you generate an official FTC Identity Theft Report and provides a customized recovery plan, both of which are extremely useful when working with companies to dispute fraudulent activity. Experts say that many fraud cases go unreported and scams are getting more advanced. Reporting scams not only helps you take back control, it also raises awareness and protects your community. The last part of the FTC's plan is recovery. This means using tools and steps to help people recover after experiencing fraud. If you become a victim of fraud, recovery can seem overwhelming. The FTC provides tools to guide you step by step through closing compromised accounts, contacting affected businesses, and stopping further misuse. It's no doubt that having a clear plan makes the process easier and faster. Recovery also includes checking your credit reports often to spot any suspicious activity. If needed, you can set up fraud alerts or freeze your credit to stop new accounts from being opened in your name. This is a good reason to think about getting identity theft protection. There are many options available, and if you're a Triangle member, you could consider a Triangle Better Checking account with ID Protect. For $4.99 a month, members get identity theft protection that includes identity monitoring, credit score tracking, credit reporting, a dedicated case manager, and reimbursement for recovery costs. See the link in the show notes for more details. A final, important part of recovery is knowing your rights as a consumer if money goes missing. Many people don't realize that you have specific rights when unauthorized transactions happen, including the right to ask your bank for reimbursement if money is taken without your approval. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) shares resources that explain these protections, so victims don't have to cover the losses themselves. If you want to learn more, check the link in the show notes. When it comes to fighting fraud, you cannot sit on the sidelines. Start protecting yourself today. Review your habits, strengthen your security, and use new tools. Let Consumer Protection Week inspire you to act. Follow the FTC's advice: Avoid, Report, and Recover. By practicing these steps, you'll become more confident and resilient in a changing digital world.

National Consumer Protection Week (NCPW) is a reminder that being an informed consumer is your best defense. In this special episode, Michelle takes the guest chair to share simple, practical habits that help protect your wallet and your confidence. From pausing before you purchase, reading reviews, and verifying sellers, to understanding common scam tactics and why timing matters, this conversation is all about staying one step ahead. We also talk about choosing empowerment over embarrassment. Reporting scams and filing complaints doesn't just help you, it can help protect the entire community. Complaints can reveal patterns and trends, allowing OCP to identify potential issues across the county and take action when needed.You'll also learn how OCP helps resolve disputes, enforces consumer laws, and connects with residents through community forums, outreach events, and educational presentations. NCPW shines a spotlight on these issues, but consumer awareness is a year-round effort. Stay connected for timely alerts, practical tools, and ways to help keep our community informed and protected.

Dr. Friday explains how gig workers and freelancers now face tighter reporting under Forms 1099-K and 1099-NEC. She also highlights self-employment tax exposure and why estimated payments matter to avoid penalties. Transcript G’day, I’m Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday’s Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment. Gig workers and freelancers face increased tax reporting requirements as the platform economy expands with Form 1099-K and Form 1099-NEC. In 2025, enforcement efforts focus on accurate income reporting. Many gig workers are newly exposed to self-employment tax, and they’re not sure exactly how they’re supposed to be doing it, especially paying estimated tax. Understanding current gig economy tax rules is essential to avoid penalties, and that includes making estimated tax payments. If you need help doing taxes, or maybe you just got some love letters and you’re like, I have no idea what the IRS is talking about, give our office a call, 615-367-0819.

One of the men whose presence in the Epstein Files has been making a lot of news is Bard College's forever president Leon Botstein. While there is no suggestion that Botstein participated in any of Epstein's crimes, his relationship with Epstein was longstanding and close.

In this episode, Moira, herself a graduate of Bard (Class of 2012, baby!) walks Adrian through what the Epstein/Botstein friendship can tell us about the last 50 years of anti-feminist politics. Here is a non-exhaustive list of articles we refer to in the episode:-- Botstein's 1999 op-ed "Let Teenagers Try Adulthood" can be found here-- Botstein's book Jefferson's Children can be found here-- Sarah Gerard's Carrie Carolyn Coco: My Friend, Her Murder, and an Obsession with the Unthinkable can be purchased here-- Reporting on the various lawsuits and Title IX investigations against Bard and its president can be found here (2015 case), here (2016 case), here (2020 case), here (2022 case)

Privacy is under attack again — and real estate investors need to pay attention. A new federal rule tied to FinCEN and the Corporate Transparency Act now requires certain residential real estate transfers to file a Real Estate Report disclosing personal information of LLC owners.

Kohler and Mat Sorensen break down exactly when this new reporting requirement is triggered, what information must be disclosed, and the penalties for non-compliance. They also explain key exemptions — including the trust exception — and walk through potential privacy strategies using land trusts, Wyoming LLCs, and layered entity structures to help protect your name while staying compliant.

Brynn discusses with Rachel Harris about hands-on coaching to streamline scoping and editing, including observing reporters via Zoom plus FaceTime to see exact mouse and keyboard actions, identifying repetitive pain points, and customizing macros, keyboard mappings, and EZ Speaker usage to reduce steps and save time.Rachel shares how she gamified learning shortcuts to avoid the mouse, explains why many reporters were never taught CaseCATalyst capabilities, and suggests a small set of high-impact shortcuts can be “life changing,” while fixes must be tailored to each workflow.Brynn describes pausing her VTM approach to build a more sustainable app focused on dashboards, bookkeeping, billing, deadlines, and transcript tracking.Rachel warns about marketplace confusion and Facebook “scams” involving non–court-reporting-trained “AI/digital” scopists, urging mastery and clear “steno scopist” labeling.

In the last decade, more than 150 teachers in Washington were disciplined for sexual misconduct. But new reporting from Investigate West found that many of these cases weren’t easily accessible to the public. The reason the information is hidden? When a teacher voluntarily surrenders their license, their information in the state’s misconduct database is shielded from public view. Nearly 45% of teachers on this database volunteered to surrender their license. Moe Clark is a collaborative investigative journalist for IW and a Murrow News Fellow through Washington State University. She joins us to share more.
