WBBM political editor Geoff Buchholz reports on Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's decision to allow a budget approved by aldermen to take effect.

Jaguar Land Rover's 2025 cyber incident triggered a production pause, a £559 million quarterly loss, and a UK government-backed £1.5 billion loan guarantee. Weeks later, payroll data exposure for thousands of employees added a long-tail identity risk dimension.

Decommissioning board also discusses funding, data centers The board overseeing the decommissioning of the shuttered Indian Point nuclear power plant south of Philipstown moved its Dec. 11 meeting from Cortlandt Town Hall to the Buchanan-Verplanck Elementary School, about a mile from the facility. The venue change was notable because Michael Trombley, the superintendent of the Hendrick Hudson school district, spoke to the board, outlining the financial pressure the district faces without the payments in lieu of property taxes paid by the plant, which closed in 2021. The shutdown resulted in the loss of nearly one-third of the district's annual operating budget, he said, "a financial hit that no school district is built to withstand." Trombley said that, while the district is grateful for state grants it has received, "these targeted, specific acts of aid do not address the long-term consequences of our district hosting over 1.7 million kilograms of spent nuclear fuel stored on tax-exempt land that cannot be repurposed for economic development." Although state and federal lawmakers have allowed municipalities to tax spent nuclear fuel as property, Trombley urged the board to lobby for the proposed federal STRANDED Act (Sensible, Timely Relief for America's Nuclear District's Economic Development) and other legislation that would increase the compensation that municipalities would receive until the U.S. government builds a permanent storage facility for spent nuclear fuel. If the legislation were to pass, Trombley said that the federal aid coming to the district would make up for the budget shortfall caused by the Indian Point closure. Without it, the district will have to raise taxes by 5 percent to 8 percent every year, or make drastic cuts, such as eliminating sports programs, severely reducing arts programs or merging with another district. "That is not meant to scare people," he said. "It is meant to provide a stark reality of what the shutdown of Indian Point has caused." Fund factors Board members asked representatives from the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) at the Dec. 11 meeting about their oversight of a $2.1 billion fund that is paying Holtec Decommissioning International (HDI). While Indian Point was operating, a small portion of each customer's payments went into the fund. HDI hired its parent company, Holtec International, for some waste disposal and fuel storage work. Noting that some projects have cost much more than the estimates, board members accused Holtec of overcharging itself and essentially "double-dipping" from the fund. NRC representatives said they had determined that Holtec had not done anything to "impede" the timely decommissioning of the plant. "If they're overspending, it ends up being an impediment to decommissioning because they run out of money, right?" asked board member Richard Webster, from Riverkeeper. "Our focus is not on whether they went over or under their budget," said the Elise Eve of the NRC. "It's that they have sufficient funds to complete decommissioning." She noted factors that can affect the budget, such as inflation. She said the NRC would continue to review the fund annually to ensure it has sufficient funds. "The question is: If Holtec International charges HDI twice the price per cask as they charge any other [decommissioning] site, is that acceptable to the NRC?" asked Webster. Eve replied: "That's not something that we're going to be regulating." What next? Holtec is finishing an extensive analysis of the area around a former training building that was discovered last year to be unexpectedly contaminated with cesium-137. The company has theorized that the low-level radioactive contamination may be from soil near the first reactor that was excavated and deposited at the edges of the property when the site's second and third reactors were built in the 1970s. Once the contamination is cleaned up, Holtec plans to apply for a "partial site release," which would...

Senator Josh Hawley joined the show to discuss several key topics, including President Trump's $1,776 payout to service members, the 4% military pay raise, and the impact of recent border enforcement on Missouri's drug flow. Hawley emphasized lowering healthcare costs through tax exemptions on premiums, deductibles, and prescriptions, and expressed concern over potential government shutdowns by Senate Democrats. He criticized the Biden DOJ for pushing the Mar-a-Lago raid despite FBI warnings and praised Andrew Bailey's upcoming role at the FBI. Hawley also highlighted his pro-life initiative, Love Life Initiative, and the effort to protect Missouri children from abortion on demand and transgender operations on minors, warning of significant outside funding in opposition campaigns.

In this episode, I break down what really happened during the recent government shutdown—and why it matters far beyond the headlines. I walk you through how the standoff between Republicans and Democrats over healthcare funding put millions at risk, and how the political maneuvering behind closed doors quietly determined the fate of those lives. From the targeted removal of Obamacare subsidies to deep cuts in Medicaid, I unpack how these policy choices translate into real-world consequences, including tens of thousands of preventable deaths.I also shed light on the lesser-known tactics lawmakers use to avoid accountability—like strategically assigning votes to retiring politicians or those far from reelection. And I grapple with the moral dilemma at the heart of this crisis: When one side is willing to let children go hungry or deny medical care to exert political pressure, how does a functioning democracy respond? It's a conversation about power, ethics, and the cost of political gamesmanship on human lives.In this episode, you will learn:(00:34) How the shutdown exposed the realities of U.S. healthcare politics(01:10) Why cutting Obamacare subsidies put millions at risk(02:00) How both parties pushed competing plans to reopen the government(02:55) Why eight Democrats crossed party lines at the decisive moment(03:40) How lawmakers hide behind “just enough votes”(04:05) How political timing shields certain legislators from backlash(05:15) The moral dilemma behind letting 50,000 people die vs. starving children(06:30) Why negotiating with political extremism mirrors dealing with a psychopath(07:45) How this same dynamic shows up in war and global conflict(08:20) What the end of the shutdown really means for public healthLet's connect!linktr.ee/drprandy Hosted on Acast.

Gloriavale's private school has been ordered to close its doors, leaving a lawyer wondering how it ever managed to exist. The Education Review Office highlighted ongoing safety concerns in July, and the Ministry put the school on notice in October. The Ministry's confirmed it's cancelling the school's registration. Gloriavale leavers' lawyer, Brian Henry, says he doesn't understand how the school stayed open until now, but he's crediting officials for shutting it down. "This school is the enabler of basically enslaving young children born in the community. It keeps them ignorant." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mike Townsend turns to D.C. developments and Congress's "scramble to the finish line." He talks about healthcare debates serving as a fulcrum to another government shutdown in the new year. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Senators in both parties are bracing for another government shutdown next year after Republicans blocked a proposal to extend expiring health insurance subsidies, the issue that triggered the 43-day closure that consumed much of the fall calendar. Three months behind schedule and absorbing several bumps along the way, a Measure C advisory group finished its work Thursday. The group, which started meeting in April, was tasked with shaping the plan for Fresno County’s $7 billion transportation sales tax renewal.

The Rooster weighs in on the decision to shut down Jayden Daniels for the remainder of the season after he was injured against the Vikings a few weeks ago. Chris is openly skeptical of the move, arguing that sitting a franchise quarterback isn't necessary and that live game reps are the most critical factor in the development of young QBs.

Hour 1 of The Chris Russell Show kicks off with a mix of NFL news, strong opinions, and classic Rooster energy. Chris reacts to Sean McVay welcoming a new baby, explains why he's in a grumpy mood, and dives into the controversial decision to shut down Jayden Daniels for the rest of the season, a move he believes wasn't necessary. The discussion continues with a caller's theory that league-wide injuries to franchise players scared Commanders ownership into playing it safe, and wraps with some unexpected levity as Rooster sounds off on the food setup at MetLife Stadium, including why a sandwich called the “Fat Rooster” rubbed him the wrong way. A packed first hour blending football debate and personality driven radio.

When President Trump took office in January, Congress seemed poised to play a supporting role in the story of Trump's second term. Republicans largely fell in line to support President Trump's cabinet nominees and much of his broader agenda; it's been reported that Trump himself has joked that he's both the President and Speaker of the House. Congressional Democrats, meanwhile, appeared helpless to mount a vigorous opposition to Trump's policies, or even to energize their own base. But this fall, those dynamics began to shift. Congressional Republicans have stood up to Trump on some key issues, including most notably the release of files related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. And Congressional Democrats galvanized supporters around this fall's government shutdown fight over the future of ACA health insurance subsidies.On this episode, two experts on Congressional politics spoke with Dan Richards about the shifting role of Congress in U.S. politics, as President Trump enters his “lame duck” phase and America gears up for a midterm election in less than 12 months. They also discuss Congress's consistently low approval rating among Americans, and explore what (if anything) could be done to make Congress work better under the Trump administration and beyond. Guests on this episode: Eric Patashnik is a political scientist and director of the Watson School's Taubman Center for American Politics and Policy. Congresswoman Kathy Manning represented North Carolina's sixth district from 2020 to 2024 and is currently a senior fellow in international and public affairs at the Watson School.

If your horse seems "quiet"… but something feels off... this episode is for you. Shutdown horses often look calm, obedient, or easy… yet on the inside there is a different story at play. They may feel disconnected, disinterested, flat, or robotic... or go from calm to explosive without warning. And while these signs can be subtle, they matter. Shutdown behaviours arent laziness or compliance. It's a nervous system response asking for support. In this episode, I break down: The real signs of shutdown: Freeze responses, "lights on no one home", obedience without connection, quietness masking overwhelm, sudden explosions, apearing "fine" but feeling off Why shutdown responses: How horses enter freeze when earlier attempts at communication weren't understood… why this isn't a training issue but feedback… and how past experiences and pressure-based environments shape shutdown tendencies. Why recognising shutdown behaviours is important: For deeper connection, a stronger relationship, more natural motivation - and most importantly, safety. How to help your horse open back up: The 5 foundations I use with shutdown, spooky, reactive, and sensitive horses. The inner skills you'll need along the way: Patience, attunement, emotional awareness, intuitive listening, letting go of pressure and timelines, and reinforcing the behaviours you do want. Plus, I share transformation stories (Shorty + Ella) that illustrate what's possible when a shutdown horse finally feels safe to feel again, and how quickly connection, softness, and engagement return. If you've ever felt like your horse is here with you… but not really with you... this episode will help you understand why, and what steps to take next. ✨ FREE RESOURCE: To get started with a clear plan, download my Prepare Your Horse For Any Environment checklist - it's the exact foundation I use with all horses to build confidence step by step. ✨ Want deeper support?

The recent government shutdown was longer and costlier than anyone would have liked.  Federal employees went without paychecks.  Vital services were either shut down entirely or significantly curtailed.  People suffered while the politicians pointed fingers at each other and traded blame on who was responsible for the mess.The FAIRtax obviously can't cure the partisan divide in Congress and can't make the two sides stop arguing.  However, the FAIRtax Guys take an interesting look at how the FAIRtax could make it easier for people to get by the next time this happens.

Weken aan lieve woorden en lobby-bezoekjes aan het Witte Huis gingen eraan vooraf, maar topman Jensen Huang van Nvidia heeft het voor elkaar gekregen. Hij krijgt weer toegang tot de Chinese markt met zijn AI-chips. Tenminste, dat krijgt hij van de Verenigde Staten. Die staan het toe dat een van de meer geavanceerde AI-chips van Nvidia naar China worden geëxporteerd. Nu blijft er nog één probleem over: ook China moet nog overstag. Hoe kan Huang dat voor elkaar krijgen? En hoe blij moeten beleggers met deze eerste stap zijn? Dat hoor je in deze aflevering. Dan hebben we het ook over het jachtseizoen. De Europese Commissie trapt dat af. Het richt de pijlen nu op Alphabet en hun AI-overviews. Alphabet zou de data daarvoor aftroggelen bij hun gebruikers en misschien wel misbruik maken van hun macht in de zoekmachinemarkt. Opvallend, want ook Meta kreeg onlangs nog een nieuw onderzoek aan de broek vanuit Europa. Dus is Europa de aanval op Amerikaanse techbedrijven weer aan het opvoeren? Verder hoor je over Duitsland. Dat zou al akkoord zijn om een recordbedrag aan defensie-uitgaven te gaan doen. En we vertellen je wanneer jij hier in Europa in een zelfrijdende taxi kan stappen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why do some AI agents attempt to bypass shutdown, and what does this behavior reveal about the future of AI safety? In this episode of Eye on AI, host Craig Smith speaks with Jeffrey Ladish of Palisade Research to examine what recent shutdown experiments with agentic LLMs tell us about control, alignment, and the real world limits of current guardrails. We explore how models behave when placed in virtual machine environments, why some agents edit or disable their own shutdown scripts, and what these results mean for researchers working on alignment and oversight. Learn how different models respond to shutdown instructions, how system prompts influence behavior, and which failure modes matter most for safe deployment. You will also hear a detailed breakdown of the experimental setups, insights into tool using and self directed behavior, and a grounded discussion of the risks and opportunities that agentic systems introduce. This episode offers a clear and practical look at how AI agents operate under pressure and what these findings mean for the future of safe and reliable AI.

WBBM political editor Geoff Buchholz reports on the outcome of a weekend meeting over the city's 2026 budget.

It’s shaping up to be the biggest weekend for families heading out to buy their Christmas trees, and Toluca Lake is buzzing with festive energy during the Dylan Keith Salon Holiday Walk Around. In an astonishing human achievement, a man who spent 27 years walking around the entire world is making headlines for his incredible journey. Southern California faced major disruptions as a police incident shut down sections of the 5 Freeway near Del Mar for hours, creating massive backups. One local business is dealing with back-to-back burglaries, adding to the chaos. Holiday festivities turned wild in Rancho Cucamonga, where the popular Thoroughbred Christmas lights drew huge crowds—and misbehavior. Some visitors were stuck in traffic for up to four hours, even causing issues along the horse trails, but it remains a beloved experience for families seeking holiday magic. Meanwhile, the entertainment world is still reeling from Netflix’s blockbuster acquisition of Warner Bros., a massive deal raising questions about the future of streaming, film, and Hollywood’s power structure. Reports also suggest the freeway shutdown in Del Mar Heights may be tied to a possible jumper, further contributing to severe traffic gridlock.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, ASTHO's Catherine Jones, a senior analyst for government affairs, breaks down the 2025 federal government shutdown, the longest in U.S. history, and what made it uniquely disruptive compared to the 2018–2019 closure. She explains how debates over ACA premium subsidies, and Medicaid cuts shaped the standoff and why critical programs like telehealth, at-home care, SNAP, and WIC felt the strain.  Jones also walks through how the shutdown ultimately ended after multiple failed attempts in Congress, and what public health leaders should take away from the crisis. With another potential shutdown looming as the current continuing resolution approaches its expiration, she lays out the decisions and negotiations to watch in the weeks ahead.Eight Extraordinary OU Alumni Honored with Regents' Alumni Award

President Trump responded to last week's Afghan terror attack by pledging a total shutdown on migration from nearly 20 countries, and new policies to encourage low-value immigrants to return home. Rich Baris thinks this framing of the issue will fire up the president's base while luring Democrats into promoting unpopular policies. Heather Mac Donald punctures the "over-incarceration myth" and explains why putting far more criminals in prison is a quick ticket to making American life better across the board.
