More than 70 Democrats in the House and Senate are pushing the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general to open a new investigation into the agency's “warrantless purchases of Americans' location data.” In a letter sent Tuesday, the lawmakers tasked IG Joseph Cuffari with investigating whether Immigration and Customs Enforcement is purchasing illegally obtained location data about Americans, how that data has been used, whether audits of employee access to uncover abuse are occurring and the policies governing data usage. “Location data is extremely sensitive, and can reveal someone's religion, their political views, medical conditions, addictions, and with whom they spend time,” the Democrats said. “It is for that reason that ordinarily, the government must obtain a warrant from a judge in order to demand such data from phone or technology companies.” The letter comes nearly three years after an initial IG report found that Customs and Border Protection, the Secret Service and ICE violated federal law through warrantless purchase and use of location data. As part of that 2023 report, the watchdog office said the DHS components did not adhere to established privacy policies, nor did they develop sufficient guardrails before procurement and use. The chief information officer at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency announced his departure Tuesday, ending his nearly five-year run at CISA. Robert Costello, an 18-year veteran of the Department of Homeland Security, posted about the move on LinkedIn.nCostello's tenure had recently grown turbulent, with conflicting accounts of whether the since-departed acting director of CISA, Madhu Gottumukkala, had tried to force him out. Costello last week received transfer orders for possible reassignment to another agency. “Serving as CIO at CISA has been one of the greatest privileges of my career,” he said. “Together, we strengthened our cybersecurity posture, modernized critical systems, and built capabilities that will endure. I am incredibly proud of what we accomplished as a team. The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

Recently released federal documents revealed that Jeffrey Epstein had been the subject of a previously undisclosed Drug Enforcement Administration investigation beginning in 2010 that examined potential drug trafficking and prostitution-related financial activity tied to the U.S. Virgin Islands and New York. The 69-page memo, heavily redacted and marked “law enforcement sensitive,” identified Epstein and more than a dozen others as targets within an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces probe that reportedly remained active for years. Despite the scope suggested by the document, no drug trafficking charges were ever brought, prompting Sen. Ron Wyden to demand fuller disclosure and an explanation of why the investigation did not result in prosecutions.Separately, documents released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act included a photograph of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick standing with Epstein on Little St. James, Epstein's private Caribbean island. The image was initially made public within the Justice Department's online archive before being temporarily removed and later restored, raising questions about how Epstein-related records are curated and reviewed. The brief removal triggered bipartisan calls for clarification, with critics questioning the explanation that the image had been flagged under standard review procedures. Together, the disclosures added to broader concerns about transparency, oversight, and the handling of evidence connected to Epstein's network and associations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Senator calls for DEA to provide info on "incredibly disturbing" Epstein drug investigation - CBS NewsPhoto of Lutnick on Epstein's island removed from Justice Department files now restored - CBS News

AFC Bournemouth are redeveloping the Vitality Stadium — bringing more premium hospitality, expanded media facilities, and a "step forward" in the club's long-term growth. But for some supporters, that progress comes at a personal cost. In this video, we discuss the difficult trade-off at the heart of the stadium plans: growth vs loyalty. With some fans needing to relocate — or potentially pay more to keep their seat — is this simply the reality of modern football economics? Or should match-going supporters be better protected when big decisions are made? We look at: ▫️ Why hospitality revenue is so important for a club of Bournemouth's size ▫️ The financial realities behind stadium expansion ▫️ The emotional impact on supporters being asked to move ▫️ Whether this was truly unavoidable — or could it have been handled differently There's no easy answer here. Progress often demands compromise, but football is nothing without its fans.

In Episode 163 of Why We Vote, CannCon and Ashe in America break down the SAVE Act and the broader debate over voter ID, proof of citizenship, and structural election reform. They examine what the legislation proposes, where enforcement challenges exist, and whether incremental fixes are enough to restore public confidence in the system. The episode also covers the Supreme Court's ruling limiting the use of IEEPA tariff authority, exploring what the decision means for executive power and how judicial constraints intersect with broader institutional accountability. The hosts discuss the balance between Congress and the presidency, questioning how legal boundaries shape political strategy. Throughout the conversation, CannCon and Ashe emphasize the importance of paper ballots, chain of custody, and transparent voter registration systems. They challenge surface-level reforms and encourage viewers to focus on procedural safeguards rather than partisan framing. Ep. 163 ties legislative action, judicial rulings, and election mechanics into a wider discussion about restoring trust in American governance.

Dr. Malcolm Kendrick challenges the prevailing lipid hypothesis regarding heart disease, arguing that the relationship between cholesterol, particularly LDL, and heart disease is not as straightforward as commonly believed. He discusses the role of saturated fats, the importance of nitric oxide, and the impact of lifestyle factors on cardiovascular health. Kendrick also critiques the research surrounding statins, emphasising the need for transparency and the potential biases in studies that downplay adverse effects. The discussion highlights the complexity of heart disease and the necessity for a broader understanding of its causes and treatments.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Dr. Malcolm Kendrick00:42 Challenging the Lipid Hypothesis02:19 Saturated Fat and Heart Disease04:21 Understanding Cholesterol and Its Role07:48 Observational Studies vs. Randomized Trials10:59 The Failure of Statins and Other Drugs11:44 The Black Swan Argument in Medicine16:20 Familial Hypercholesterolemia Explained17:40 The Role of Blood Clotting in Heart Disease25:50 The Ghost in the Machine: Revisiting Old Theories36:55 The Interconnection of Blood Clotting and Immunity40:47 Understanding Endothelial Damage and Heart Disease45:59 The Role of Sickle Cell Anaemia and Autoimmune Diseases48:34 COVID-19: Blood Clots and Immune Response51:11 Critique of Statin Research and Adverse Effects

This episode peels back the curtain on the fragility of the modern cruise ecosystem through three revealing stories. First, a fleet-wide Carnival tech outage on February 8th brought boarding to a standstill at multiple homeports, delaying ships like the Celebration, Venezia, Spirit, and Pride past midnight as digital manifests failed and the Hub app went dark — forcing crew to revert to paper schedules and SMS blasts.Next, the Carnival Encounter faced scrutiny in Darwin, Australia, when the Maritime Union of Australia filed crew welfare complaints alleging wages as low as $2.50 an hour, pressure to work while sick, and foul drinking water. Australia's AMSA boarded and inspected the ship but found no deficiencies, while Carnival fired back accusing the union of using the inspection as a recruitment tactic — highlighting the ongoing tension between international maritime labor standards and Western expectations.Finally, the episode explores the arrival of the Disney Adventure in Singapore — a 208,000 gross ton mega-ship repurposed from a bankrupt Genting hull, now running portless three- and four-night cruises. With zero port calls, Disney captures 100% of onboard spending, raising the question of whether the industry is moving toward a future where the ship replaces the destination entirely.

The latest tranche of documents from the Jeffrey Epstein case includes emails and correspondence suggesting that former Prince Andrew may have shared sensitive UK government information with Epstein while serving as Britain's trade envoy. According to claims circulating online, some correspondence implied that Andrew leaked confidential details from official trade missions and was involved in social engagements arranged by Epstein, including a secret dinner with a Chinese model—events framed by an Epstein boast about having “the UK sewn up.” These revelations have intensified criticism and calls for a formal probe into whether Andrew's actions constituted misconduct, misuse of position, or even breaches of the Official Secrets Act.The latest tranche of documents from the Jeffrey Epstein case includes emails and correspondence suggesting that former Prince Andrew may have shared sensitive UK government information with Epstein while serving as Britain's trade envoy.

Jordan Sather and Nate Prince break down a packed week in the MAHA world, starting with RFK Jr.'s headline-making appearance on Theo Von's podcast. From his blunt comments about COVID fear to a deep dive into fluoride and its documented IQ impacts, the conversation sparks major debate around public health narratives. The hosts also explore the growing national battle over glyphosate, including new discussions out of Florida about its potential effects on the blood-brain barrier and mounting pressure against its continued use. They analyze viral claims about global cancer “cures,” separating hype from reality, and unpack new developments in healthcare fraud investigations. On the pharma front, MAHA News examines the DOJ referral involving Hims & Hers over compounded semaglutide products, the broader crackdown on peptides, and the cultural explosion of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs like Ozempic. The episode closes with an honest conversation about biohacking, peptide trends, and the risks of chasing quick fixes in the name of health optimization.

The House of Lord's amendments to England and Wales assisted dying bill might be causing a constitutional crisis. Lords have tabled 1,277 amendments—which is a record for any equivalent bill in history - and over half of those came from just seven peers. This has led to accusations of "delaying tactics" or "filibustering" to run down the clock deliberately and run this bill off the road. Although some of these amendments have been described as unworkable, repetitious and unnecessary; others reflect serious, legitimate concerns, around the prevention of coercion, how to identify victims of domestic abuse and the broader impact on the disabled community, and whether it's wise to introduce assisted dying while palliative and social care services are so stretched. 300 territories around the world, allow physician assisted death - so we asked experts from Canada and California to reflect on those objections, and if there is any evidence of this issues arising where they live. James Downer is Professor and Head of the Division of Palliative Care at the University of Ottawa, and Catherine Forest is clinical associate professor of family medicine at the University of California San Francisco.   Reading list: Scrutiny of the assisted dying bill is vital but obstruction in the House of Lords could mean it never becomes law

In the most recent round of Epstein file disclosures and congressional activity, a **U.S. lawmaker has publicly asserted that a woman seen in still-released photos of Prince Andrew — shown beneath or in very close proximity to him in images sourced from Jeffrey Epstein's New York residence — was a verified sex-trafficking victim connected to Epstein's network. That claim was made during a House Judiciary Committee hearing where the images were discussed, with the woman's face redacted under federal victim-protection rules; the lawmaker argued these visuals, now tied to trafficking, should have prompted legal action against Andrew at the time. Although the Department of Justice has maintained there's not enough evidence to charge Andrew and he has denied wrongdoing, the sharp political pressure and suggestion that the woman was trafficked under the federal Victims Trafficking Protection Act mark a significant escalation in public scrutiny of his ties to Epstein.Separately, police in the U.K. are now assessing new allegations stemming from the newly released Epstein documents, which include communications indicating that Andrew and Epstein continued to correspond after his 2010 conviction and that Epstein may have supplied women — some later described as trafficking victims — to him at various residences. The files also contain email exchanges that appear to corroborate the authenticity of the infamous photo with Virginia Giuffre (contradicting earlier claims by Andrew and associates that it was fake), and raise questions about Andrew's behavior after his official role as U.K. trade envoy.

Today, convicted sex-trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell is scheduled to sit for a deposition before the U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee as part of Congress's ongoing investigation into the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and his network. Lawmakers have arranged for Maxwell to appear—likely by videolink from prison—to answer questions about her role in Epstein's operations, her connections with powerful individuals, and related matters that have come to light after the release of millions of federal documents linked to the Epstein case. Committee members, including Representative Ro Khanna, outlined specific questions they intend to ask, spanning alleged co-conspirators, unindicted individuals, and high-profile figures with ties to Epstein's world.However, Maxwell's legal team has made clear she intends to invoke her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and will refuse to answer substantive questions during this deposition, effectively pleading the Fifth throughout the session rather than provide testimony. According to lawmakers, Maxwell plans to read a prepared statement at the outset and then decline to respond to individual inquiries—citing her constitutional privilege and concerns about jeopardizing ongoing legal matters, including a habeas petition challenging her conviction. This strategy means Congress may not get direct answers from her today, even as it pursues broader scrutiny of Epstein's activities and associations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ghislaine Maxwell is set to plead the fifth as she appears before the US Congress board investigating Jeffrey Epstein today | Daily Mail Online
