In the final Badlands Daily of 2025, CannCon and Ashe in America close out the year with an extended breakdown of the unfolding Somali fraud story, beginning with daycare and welfare fraud in Minnesota and expanding into SNAP, housing assistance, and broader federal subsidy abuse. The discussion centers on Nick Shirley's reporting, whistleblower retaliation, and evidence pointing to systemic failures and political protection. The hosts examine allegations of money laundering through public assistance programs into campaign finance, including ActBlue and WinRed, and debate the absence of real accountability at higher levels of power. The episode then turns to the newly released court filings in the January 6 pipe bomb case, scrutinizing the government's narrative surrounding Brian Cole, his alleged confession, autism diagnosis, and inconsistencies in the evidence. CannCon and Ashe also connect these stories to healthcare spending, bureaucratic fraud, and centralized systems that shield corruption, wrapping the year with reflections on public mandates, narrative deployment, and what 2026 may bring.

The Trump administration has cut off federal child care funding to Minnesota, citing alleged daycare fraud. Gov. Tim Walz calls the move political, warning that families and providers could feel the impact quickly. Plus, several states are restricting SNAP purchases of soda and candy to encourage healthier choices. Critics argue the changes could complicate shopping and stigmatize recipients. And Tatiana Schlossberg, granddaughter of former President John F. Kennedy, has died at 35 after battling leukemia. The environmental journalist is being remembered for her work and powerful final essay. These stories and more highlight your Unbiased Updates for Wednesday, December 31, 2025.

Hour 3 explores the major stories and policy changes of 2025 through a mix of analysis and commentary. Heidi Harrison examines pilot salaries and public perception, Mary Vogt highlights conservative wins, economic policy, and media integrity, and SNAP reform is discussed with a focus on health and social impact. Kim Onowale's “Kim on a Whim” segments recap the year's top news, from natural disasters and government actions to immigration enforcement, ending with a heartfelt tribute to Charlie Kirk, underscoring both societal and personal significance.

SNAP bans on soda, candy and other foods take effect in five states Jan. 1; UT student loan borrowers in default could face collections; EPA delays tougher coal wastewater standards in Michigan, nation; Not much New Year's cheer for MT health insurance costs.

Hey there, listeners, buckle up because the Supreme Court's shadow docket has been on fire these past few days, handing President Donald Trump and his administration a string of high-stakes wins in battles over everything from the National Guard to passports and federal spending. Just eight days ago, on December 23, 2025, the Court ruled in Trump v. Illinois, siding against the administration's bid to federalize and deploy the National Guard in Illinois without state consent. Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote a concurrence, while Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch dissented, arguing the move was essential for national security amid rising unrest in Chicago. The Brennan Center's Supreme Court Shadow Docket Tracker notes this as one of only five losses for the administration since January, out of 25 emergency decisions, with most favoring Trump at least partially and often with minimal explanation.But don't let that one setback fool you—the Court has been overwhelmingly pro-administration lately. On November 6, the justices greenlit the State Department's policy refusing passports that reflect transgender applicants' gender identity for a certified class of plaintiffs, overruling lower courts in a terse order. Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan dissented sharply, warning it tramples civil rights. This fits a pattern: back on October 3 in Noem v. National TPS Alliance, the Court forced the government to release congressionally appropriated foreign aid funds, with Justice Kagan's dissent, joined by Sotomayor and Jackson, blasting it as executive overreach. Earlier, September 22's Trump v. Slaughter let the administration dodge discovery demands from Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington over DOGE Service materials under the Freedom of Information Act.Rewind a bit further into this whirlwind year, and the shadow docket explodes with immigration clashes. In Noem v. Doe on May 30, the Court allowed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to revoke parole en masse for half a million noncitizens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, skipping individual reviews—Justice Jackson dissented alongside Sotomayor. April's Trump v. J.G.G. permitted deportations of alleged Tren de Aragua gang members under the Alien Enemies Act, despite dissents from Sotomayor, Kagan, Jackson, and even partial pushback from Amy Coney Barrett. A.A.R.P. v. Trump on April 19 blocked removals of Venezuelan nationals, a rare check, with Kavanaugh concurring and Alito dissenting.Civil service purges? Check: McMahon v. New York on July 14 okayed firing Department of Education employees, while Trump v. Boyle upheld Trump's power to boot Consumer Product Safety Commission members without cause. Even LGBTQ+ rights took hits, like United States v. Shilling in May letting the Defense Department terminate transgender service members. Lawfare's Trump Administration Litigation Tracker highlights ongoing suits, including a coalition of nonprofits and cities challenging the suspension of November 2025 SNAP benefits—a case that echoes lower court fights like District of Rhode Island's order to fully fund them.Since Inauguration Day, the Supreme Court's emergency docket—mostly Department of Justice filings—has tilted 20-to-5 toward Trump, per SCOTUSblog and Shadow Docket Watch data. Justices Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh often push back against blocks, while the liberal trio fights rearguard actions. As 2025 wraps, two applications still pend, promising more drama.Thanks for tuning in, listeners—come back next week for more.

Parties fall apart when they rely on luck. We turn the chaos of a live office bash into a step‑by‑step blueprint for a New Year celebration that feels immersive, welcoming, and unmistakably geeky. From the moment guests walk in, we want the room to communicate: you belong here, you're taken care of, and you're about to have fun.We start with atmosphere, the most underrated tool a host has. Think layered lighting, a soundtrack that grooves without demanding attention, and bold visuals running silently in the background. Zardoz, Barbarella, and Flash Gordon become moving artwork that sparks conversation without hijacking the night. Then we get tactical with decor: banners and papercraft that nod to fandom while staying legible, table tents that map the room, and labels that make allergens and ingredients obvious at a glance.Food is designed for the way people actually party. We veto the fussy cookbook relics and replace them with finger‑friendly hits: shaped pizzas and fruit platters that double as set pieces, roasted‑corn salads for color and crunch, and treats that echo beloved worlds without requiring a fork. Drinks get the same treatment. We batch signature cocktails into shareable punches—think Tranya and Warp Core Breach—and give non‑drinkers parity with zero‑proof options served in real glassware. Everyone gets a great glass, a quick pour, and a reason to linger.To lock in a moment people will talk about, we time Avengers Infinity War so midnight lands exactly on Thor's arrival or the Snap. It's a simple sync that transforms a countdown into a shared story beat. By the end, you'll have a plan for atmosphere, inclusive menus, efficient bar flow, music that moves the edges of the room, and visuals that keep curiosity alive. If this guide helps you throw a party your friends won't forget, follow the show, share it with your crew, and drop a review telling us which midnight cue you chose—Thor or the Snap?

Greg Alba & Aaron Alexander react to Legally Blonde, and this movie is WAY smarter, warmer, and more empowering than its reputation sometimes gets credit for. Starring Reese Witherspoon as Elle Woods, Legally Blonde follows an underestimated sorority queen who enrolls at Harvard Law School to win back her ex — only to discover her intelligence, confidence, and self-worth along the way. What starts as a fish-out-of-water comedy becomes a sharp commentary on sexism, elitism, and judging people by appearances. In this reaction, we talk through Elle's character growth, iconic scenes like the admissions video, the classroom moments with Professor Callahan, the courtroom finale, and why this movie still resonates decades later. From comedy to heart, Legally Blonde proves you can be feminine, kind, and brilliant — all at the same time.

In this wide-open Sunday sit-down, host David Smith and guest Jack unpack America's contradictions — from food aid and fairness to military spending, political corruption, and the pandemic's fallout. What starts as a debate about SNAP benefits and welfare accountability turns into a full-blown conversation about foreign aid, CIA funding loops, pandemic psy-ops, and whether UFOs are already here.It's part kitchen-table talk, part late-night philosophy, part social autopsy — equal parts real talk and ridiculous.They tackle:The truth and myths about EBT/SNAP and government aid.U.S. spending priorities — veterans vs. Ukraine, Israel, and the military-industrial complex.How COVID policy, vaccine kickbacks, and mask theater exposed public trust cracks.Whether AI, surveillance, and Agenda 21-style “smart cities” mean freedom or control.UFOs, Bob Lazar, Operation Blue Beam, and alien overlords (because of course it ends there).This is “And Another Thing With Dave” at its purest: irreverent, unfiltered, and brutally honest — where serious ideas mix with satire and skepticism.Thank you for tuning in!If you are digging what I am doing, and picking up what I'm putting down, please follow, subscribe, and share the podcast on social media and with friends.

El primer regalo que he tenido en esta temporada navideña ha sido una correa para Apple Watch. Y te vengo a hablar de ella porque es bastante particular y diferente a todas las demás que tengo.

Beginning in the new year, some grocery items in Iowa will no longer be available to recipients of the federal food assistance program known as SNAP. Iowa's cattlemen are urging state lawmakers to include spending on bird flu vaccine development in next year's budget. And expanded gambling in Nebraska is cutting into casino profits in Council Bluffs.

With the holiday season in full swing, many of us are reminded to give back. Yet, for thousands in the Valley, hunger is a persistent, year-round struggle. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael talks with Les Sinclair, Communications and PR Manager for the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, to discuss the ongoing fight against food insecurity and the innovative ways the community is coming together to help. Coordinating Compassion: Food Drives and Partnerships Les explains that the weeks around the holidays are particularly challenging. Many food pantries close temporarily, giving volunteers a much-needed break, but this can leave families in need scrambling for support. Fortunately, local organizations coordinate to ensure that when one pantry closes, another remains open. This spirit of collaboration, rather than competition, sets food assistance nonprofits apart. The pair highlight the impact of community-driven food drives, such as "Scouting for Food" and the "Stamp Out Hunger" campaign by letter carriers. These initiatives make it easy for residents to donate—simply leave a bag of food by your mailbox, and volunteers do the rest. Over the years, these efforts have delivered millions of pounds of food to those in need, demonstrating the power of collective action. Supper Club: Sustaining Support Beyond the Holidays While one-time donations are vital, Les emphasizes the importance of sustaining support. The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank's "Supper Club" offers a simple way for individuals to become monthly donors, providing a steady stream of resources that allows the organization to plan and respond to needs throughout the year. Janet shares her own experience joining the Supper Club, noting how easy and impactful it is—just $10 a month can provide over 300 meals. Beyond Food: The Ripple Effect of Assistance Food assistance does more than fill empty stomachs. Les points out that when families receive food, they can redirect limited funds to other essentials, such as heating, transportation, or healthcare. They discuss the economic ripple effects of government shutdowns and changes to SNAP benefits, which can suddenly increase demand at food banks. Moreover, the rising cost of healthcare and utilities forces many to make difficult choices—sometimes between heating their homes and buying groceries. Health, Dignity, and Community Well-Being The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank is also committed to supporting community health. Through programs like "Food is Medicine" and the Healthy Pantry initiative, the organization ensures that fresh produce and nutritious options are available to those managing chronic illnesses. Les and Janet agree that access to healthy food is a cornerstone of both individual and community well-being. The Power of Volunteering and Paying It Forward As the conversation draws to a close, both hosts encourage listeners to consider volunteering—not just during the holidays, but all year long. Volunteering, they note, is not only good for the community but also deeply rewarding for those who give their time. Many who support the food bank have themselves experienced food insecurity and now seek to pay it forward. Conclusion: A Call to Action Ultimately, the fight against hunger is a collective effort that requires ongoing support, creativity, and compassion. Whether through monthly giving, organizing a food drive, or volunteering, every action counts. As Sinclair reminds us, hunger doesn't take a holiday—and neither should our commitment to helping our neighbors.

This Day in Legal History: Wounded KneeOn December 29, 1890, the U.S. Army's 7th Cavalry Regiment surrounded a Lakota Sioux encampment near Wounded Knee Creek on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. The soldiers had orders to disarm the Lakota, who had recently fled the Standing Rock Reservation following the killing of Sitting Bull. Tensions were high, and as troops attempted to confiscate weapons, a shot was fired—its origin remains unclear. What followed was a brutal onslaught in which U.S. forces opened fire on largely unarmed Lakota men, women, and children. Estimates suggest that between 250 and 300 Lakota were killed, many while fleeing or after surrendering.The Wounded Knee Massacre was the final major confrontation between Native Americans and the U.S. military during the so-called Indian Wars. It marked the culmination of decades of broken treaties and violent enforcement of federal Indian policy. Despite the civilian toll, 20 soldiers were later awarded the Medal of Honor, a decision that has since drawn sustained criticism and calls for revocation. The legal status of the massacre—framed at the time as a military engagement—has increasingly been re-evaluated through the lens of human rights law and treaty violations.The Lakota were supposed to be protected under treaties like the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868, which guaranteed their land and autonomy. However, the discovery of gold in the Black Hills and growing U.S. expansionism led to the steady erosion of those promises. Wounded Knee became a symbol of that betrayal and the failure of the U.S. government to uphold its legal obligations. In 1990, on the massacre's centennial, Congress passed a resolution expressing “deep regret” but stopped short of issuing a formal apology. The massacre remains a central moment in the legal and political history of Native American rights in the United States.California announced it had dropped its lawsuit against the federal government over the Trump administration's decision to cancel over $4 billion in high-speed rail funding. The California High-Speed Rail Authority said the move reflected a lack of trust in the federal government as a reliable partner. Despite the loss of funds, the agency stated it would continue the project using mostly state resources, noting that only 18% of total expenditures have come from federal dollars. A judge had recently declined to dismiss the case, but California chose to end the legal fight regardless.The U.S. Department of Transportation supported the funding withdrawal, citing a Federal Railroad Administration report that found the rail project riddled with missed deadlines, budget issues, and unrealistic ridership forecasts. Governor Gavin Newsom previously criticized the cuts as politically motivated and driven by Trump's hostility toward California. The high-speed rail project, initially expected to cost $33 billion and be completed by 2020, is now projected to cost up to $128 billion with a completion target of 2033. So far, over 50 major structures and nearly 80 miles of guideway have been built.The state plans to attract private investors by mid-2026 and emphasized that construction will continue. Recent legislation provides $1 billion in annual state funding through 2045. Earlier in 2025, the federal government also rescinded $175 million for related projects. Despite legal and financial setbacks, the state remains committed to building the rail line connecting Los Angeles and San Francisco.California drops lawsuit over Trump decision to pull $4 billion in high-speed rail funds | ReutersLongtime Motel 6 spokesman Tom Bodett settled a lawsuit against the motel chain after accusing it of using his name and voice without consent. Bodett, who became synonymous with the brand through his signature line, “we'll leave the light on for you,” alleged the company continued using his likeness even after their professional relationship ended. The dispute arose when Motel 6's new parent company, OYO, allegedly failed to make a $1.2 million contractual payment due in January, prompting Bodett to terminate their agreement.Despite the split, Bodett claimed his voice and name remained on Motel 6's reservation phone system, violating federal trademark law and the terms of their contract. The company denied any wrongdoing, arguing Bodett himself breached the agreement, which they said nullified their payment obligation. The lawsuit, filed in June, was resolved in Manhattan federal court, though the settlement terms remain confidential.Bodett, now 70, is a well-known author and voice actor, with credits including NPR and Ken Burns documentaries. He had been the face and voice of Motel 6 since 1986 and was responsible for creating the brand's iconic tagline. The lawsuit came after Motel 6 was acquired by India-based OYO, part of Prism (formerly Oravel Stays), in a $525 million deal from Blackstone in December 2024.Longtime Motel 6 spokesman Tom Bodett settles lawsuit against chain | ReutersFBI Director Kash Patel announced a surge in federal investigative resources to Minnesota to probe alleged fraud involving public funds. While the FBI has offered few specifics, Patel's comments followed the circulation of a viral video showing allegedly inactive daycare centers in the state receiving government subsidies. Republican officials, including U.S. Rep. Tom Emmer and Vice President JD Vance, quickly amplified the video online, calling for action and linking the issue to broader concerns about state oversight.Critics, however, argue that the investigation is politically and racially charged. The Trump administration has repeatedly pointed to Minnesota's Somali American community as the center of alleged fraud, even as immigrant-rights groups warn that the pattern of enforcement suggests targeted profiling rather than impartial justice. The FBI has not clarified whether the focus on Somali defendants is supported by broader data or if the agency is treating these cases as representative of a larger trend.Governor Tim Walz's office has not yet commented, though tensions have grown between federal and state officials over the framing and scope of the investigations. Many of those charged in recent fraud cases are of Somali descent, according to federal sources cited by CBS News, but the disproportionate attention has led to accusations that the government is conflating individual criminal acts with an entire immigrant community.The lack of transparency about evidence and investigatory methods has fueled concerns that the DOJ under Trump may be using criminal enforcement as a political tool. Given President Trump's repeated attacks on Minnesota's Somali population, observers view this surge not as neutral law enforcement, but as part of a broader strategy to vilify immigrants and score political points.FBI investigating Minnesota fraud scheme, director says | ReutersNew York Governor Kathy Hochul announced a new state law requiring social media platforms to display mental health warning labels on features such as infinite scroll, auto-play, and algorithm-driven feeds. The law targets platform elements deemed “addictive” and likely to encourage compulsive use among young users. It reflects growing concerns over the impact of social media on youth mental health and follows recent actions in other jurisdictions, including Australia's ban on social media for children under 16.Under the law, platforms that operate partly or entirely in New York must comply, even if users access the services while physically outside the state. Enforcement authority rests with the New York Attorney General, who may bring civil suits and seek penalties of up to $5,000 per violation. Hochul likened the labels to those found on tobacco products or plastic packaging, positioning them as a public health measure designed to inform and protect.Major companies like Meta, TikTok, Snap, and Alphabet have not yet responded publicly to the law. The move aligns with ongoing legal efforts across the U.S., including lawsuits by school districts against social media companies and recommendations from the U.S. Surgeon General for stronger safety measures and clearer warnings. Critics may question the efficacy or enforceability of such warnings, especially in a fragmented digital landscape, but New York's law signals a growing willingness by states to directly regulate platform design in the name of mental health.New York to require social media platforms to display mental health warnings | Reuters This is a public episode.

Hey listeners, picture this: it's been a whirlwind week in the courts for President Donald Trump, with the Supreme Court dropping bombshells that could reshape his administration's bold moves. Just three days ago, on December 23, 2025, the nation's highest court issued a key ruling in Trump v. Illinois, tackling whether President Trump could federalize the Illinois National Guard and even pull in Texas troops to safeguard federal property in Chicago amid escalating violence. According to the Supreme Court's opinion, Trump activated 300 Illinois Guard members on October 4, followed by Texas forces the next day, citing riots where protesters hurled tear gas canisters at officers, tried grabbing firearms, and blasted bullhorns to cause hearing damage. Justice Alito's dissent slammed the lower District Court in Rhode Island for dismissing the government's unrefuted evidence of chaos, arguing it justified the President's call under federal law. While a majority granted the stay with some reasoning, Kavanaugh concurred, but Alito and Thomas pushed back hard, calling out the eleventh-hour shifts in opponents' arguments. This shadow docket decision, tracked by the Brennan Center, marks one of 25 emergency rulings since Trump took office on January 20, 2025—20 leaning his way, often with minimal explanation.But that's not all from the past few days. Fast-forward to the New York hush money saga: a fresh decision in People v. Donald J. Trump from the Manhattan court, penned by Judge Juan Merchan, shut down Trump's post-election bid to dismiss his 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Remember, a jury convicted him unanimously back in May 2024 for scheming to hide payments to Stormy Daniels, aiming to boost his presidential run through unlawful means. Trump requested delays himself—pushing sentencing past the election to November 26, 2024, then begging for a stay and dismissal after winning. The court wasn't buying it, noting Trump consented to those adjournments without opposition from prosecutors. Merchan emphasized the premeditated deception that eroded public trust, rejecting claims the case evaporates with his presidency, citing the Supreme Court's Trump v. United States immunity ruling but insisting justice demands accountability.Meanwhile, the Supreme Court's shadow docket has been a Trump turbo-boost all year. Brennan Center reports victories like Trump v. Boyle in July, greenlighting firings at the Consumer Product Safety Commission; McMahon v. New York upholding Education Department workforce cuts; and immigration wins such as Noem v. Doe, allowing mass parole revocations for half a million from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. Even on LGBTQ+ fronts, November's ruling backed the State Department's passport gender policies. Not every call went his way—A.A.R.P. v. Trump lost on Venezuelan removals under the Alien Enemies Act—but the pattern's clear: 20 partial wins, with liberals like Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson dissenting repeatedly.Lawfare's litigation tracker highlights nonstop challenges, from SNAP benefit suspensions sparking suits by nonprofits and cities, to DOGE transparency fights where CREW got blocked from records. As of now, two more applications simmer. These battles in places like the First Circuit, DC Circuit, and beyond show Trump's team firing on all cylinders, testing presidential power's edges.Thanks for tuning in, listeners—come back next week for more.

In this Facing the Dark conversation, Dr. Kathy and Wayne Stender engage the growing concern around "sharenting," a term popularized by legal scholar Leah Plunkett to describe how parents and trusted adults share children's lives online. While often well-intentioned, constant posting can subtly communicate that a child's value lies in how they appear, how well they perform, or how much attention their moments generate. Dr. Kathy explains how children can internalize the belief that they exist to make parents feel proud, connected, or validated. When everyday life becomes content, kids may begin to feel responsible for maintaining a highlight reel rather than simply living their childhood. Over time, this can affect identity formation, confidence, and a child's ability to own and narrate their own story. Wayne reflects on the tension many parents feel: wanting to capture meaningful moments while also wanting to stay present in those moments. Together, they challenge families to reconsider the rhythm and ratio of posting, to create private spaces for memory-keeping, and to invite children into owning their memories rather than outsourcing them to a feed. Grounded in Scripture and child development, this episode invites parents to pause, put the phone down, and choose presence over performance, so kids can grow up known, secure, and free to become who God created them to be.

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore Homeland Security funding to 12 states and the District of Columbia. The administration had held back hundreds of millions of dollars from what it called "sanctuary jurisdictions." The cuts affected programs intended to support local police and emergency response in urban areas. Plus, food banks are bracing for strain ahead of changes to SNAP. We hear how services will be impacted on the ground in Kentucky.

Join host Dr. Charlotte Huntley for a compelling conversation with Edward Johnson, Assistant Health Commissioner at Columbus Public Health, who proves that public health pathways are rarely linear. With a background in philosophy, politics, and economics, Edward brings a unique lens to the field, discussing how data modernization must go beyond cold numbers to harness the power of storytelling—evidenced by the transformative "Life Expectancy in Columbus Story Map" that secured cross-sector community buy-in. The discussion dives into real-world applications of public health leadership, from enacting a comprehensive flavored tobacco ban to repurposing emergency preparedness "pods" for food distribution during a massive SNAP benefits crisis. This episode explores the vital need for interdisciplinary collaboration, playing well in the "sandbox" with police, fire, and parks departments, and offers a resonant definition of the field: "How long do you live, and how well do you live those years?"   Resources ▶️ Join the PHEC Podcast Community ▶️ Visit the PHEC Podcast Show Notes ▶️ DrCHHuntley, Public Health & Epidemiology Consulting

Did you know that small changes in behavior and belief systems can transform your health for good? But where do you start? In today's episode, I'm joined by the incredible Carrie Lupoli, a certified nutritionist, health coach, and behavioral specialist. We explore three powerful factors affecting our health: Blood Sugar, Behaviors, and Beliefs. These three "BS's" are often overlooked, yet addressing them can transform your health, strengthen your bones, and boost overall wellness.  Carrie shares simple, practical steps to overcome these blocks and explains how they're crucial not only for our physical health but also for our mental and emotional well-being. Carrie's passion for health is contagious, and her approach empowers you to take control of your health from the inside out. Whether you're dealing with bone health challenges or just looking to optimize your health, Carrie's insights will empower you to make real, sustainable changes.   "We have to stop the scroll, stop trying to find the quick fix or the next big thing, and recognize the BS that's out there is not helping us. It's just noise, and it confuses us more. The BS that really matters is understanding blood sugar, getting a hold of your belief systems, and recognizing that behavioral science is the key to you actually doing, changing, and understanding yourself for the long term." ~ Carrie Lupoli   In this episode: - [00:00] - Introduction to Carrie Lupoli and her work - [04:51] - How blood sugar imbalances affect bone health - [07:36] - The effects of unbalanced blood sugar on your overall health - [10:48] - Carrie's PFC3 formula to balance blood sugar - [17:30] - Tips for testing insulin sensitivity and maintaining healthy levels - [26:50] - How behavioral science creates sustainable health changes - [29:04] - Simple steps to control blood sugar and boost health - [36:00] - The SNAP formula to overcome disempowering belief systems - [43:02] - Carrie's advice for long-term health transformation   Resources mentioned - Carrie's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/carrie_lupoli/ - Osteoporosis Exercises to Strengthen Your Bones and Prevent Fractures - tinyurl.com/osteoporosisexercises   More about Margie - Website - https://margiebissinger.com/  - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/  - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en    DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.

At Live Free Illinois, the nonprofit she founded, Rev. Ciera Bates-Chamberlain advances a critical mission: ending gun violence and mass incarceration by employing a powerful trifecta of strategies: education, organizing and advocacy. It starts with mobilizing a network of over 130 congregations across the state to advocate for public safety and law enforcement accountability. And it requires standing up to recent federal threats, from the cutting of SNAP benefits to the militarization of law enforcement. Live Free Illinois partners with congregations to provide organizer training and to educate members about Project 2025, the blueprint behind our national leadership's assault on Black and Brown communities. And as Rev. Ciera explains in this episode of Power Station, she always expects to win. Take the Clean Slate Initiative, a statewide campaign calling for the automatic sealing of arrest and conviction records for eligible Illinoisians. It united faith leaders, community organizations and allies in fighting for the removal of systemic barriers that burden those most impacted by generational racism and poverty. And It became law in October 2025! Rev. Ciera proves that a moral compass, owning your power and showing up for others makes change possible.

[Non-Paywall Source and Media Spin] President Trump has been cutting waste, fraud and abuse in runaway government spending; slashing costly regulations across all sectors of the economy and ending Green New Scam energy policy in favor of drill, baby, drill.  As noted by NEC Chairman Kevin Hasset, Trump has reduced deficit spending overall. There's still a long way to go, but significant MAGAnomic progress is being made.  Oh, and that skyrocketing “tariff inflation” the same shocked pundits proclaimed was sure to happen this time, well, that has not surfaced either.  Just like it didn't surface in 2018 or 2019 when the tariffs were applied the first time.

Time enough to make the economy shine come the mid-terms. Now we will start to see the fruits of that plan, and Trump’s speech tonight is to announce that. Is he right? One thing I’ve learned is to never bet against Trump. Maybe he is wrong. Maybe I’m wrong. But I still have trust. Political/Rights Nolte: Failing Oscars Demoted to YouTube Starting in 2029, the irrelevant Oscars will have its annual irrelevant Academy Awards show broadcast on — lol — YouTube. To dwindling ratings and cultural relevance, the Oscars have been broadcast on ABC since 1976. The final broadcast will occur in 2028, which also happens to be the 100th anniversary of the award ceremony. So now the Oscars will stream on YouTube, where anyone who wants to can watch them for free online, at least through the end of the deal in 2033.

Chatman resigned from Utah after attempting to reform the university's police department and later took his position at Brown. His efforts coincided with student-led campaigns, including those supported by Fanaeian, to reduce campus policing in the wake of Lauren McCluskey's murder. At Brown University, Chatman recently faced an unanimous vote of no confidence back in October for the charge of having “directly contributed to an all-time low in morale and has strained the department's ability to effectively serve the Brown University community.” At the University of Utah, the student campaign to scale back policing was led by Emirya Fanaeian, the same leader of SLC Armed Queers. Fanaeian deleted the group’s social media in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. She led a student research effort into campus policing while Chatman was employed there.

Then the police officer yesterday refused to comment on what the shooter shouted although multiple media reports had already said it wash “Allah Akbar.” Between that plus the mainstream celebrations of Kirk’s death and Jay Jones’s election, we cannot just yet write off the possibility that this country has fallen so far off the end that students and professors automatically are covering for the shooter even though they saw someone get shot point blank in the face. https://twitter.com/CollinRugg/status/2001748138324038022?s=20  home is about 50 miles from Providence, Rhode Island, where the Brown shooting took place. “Senior law enforcement officials tell Target 12 that federal, state and local authorities are now examining possible ties between the two crimes,” WPRI reported. “Multiple people familiar with the investigation said they have discovered evidence showing the two may be linked.” Loureiro was shot and killed in his home. The suspect remains at large. Loureiro was named head of the Plasma Science and Fusion Center at MIT last year. Speculation in media and online discussions has included possible ballistic matches (e.g., 9mm casings recovered at Brown) or similar vehicles spotted at both scenes (e.g., unverified mentions of Nissan Sentras), but these remain unsubstantiated and are not confirmed as the linking evidence.  Some online commentary has also suggested motives tied to international actors, like Iran, based on celebratory posts in certain Telegram channels, but this is purely speculative and unconfirmed. https://twitter.com/EWess92/status/2001718099972886750?s=20 DOGE Geopolitical https://twitter.com/amuse/status/2001502910677397573?s=20 ‘German' Globalist Authoritarianism: Berlin Migrant Housing Costs Skyrocket to Nearly €1 Billion, Tripling Since 2020    Newly released government figures have revealed the capital spent nearly €900 million ($9.8 million) in 2024 alone to house migrants, many of which do not have any kind of status in the country, almost triple the cost from just four years earlier, Die Welt reports. Internal Senate data confirms that accommodation expenses for foreign nationals reached €883 million last year, compared with €312 million in 2020, an increase of 183%.

The massive 2010 sale of US uranium deposits to Russia approved by Hillary Clinton and rubber-stamped by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) – after figures linked to the deal donated to the Clinton Foundation? Turns out rank-and-file FBI investigators thought there was enough smoke to launch a criminal investigation, but internal delays and disagreements within the DOJ and FBI ultimately caused the inquiry to lapse, newly released records reveal.   The Uranium One transaction – involving the sale of a Canadian mining company with substantial U.S. uranium assets to Russia's state-owned nuclear firm Rosatom – became a flashpoint during Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. Critics argued that then-Secretary of State Clinton, a member of CFIUS, helped approve the deal while donors connected to Uranium One made large contributions to the Clinton Foundation.  The newly released documents suggest that the circumstances surrounding Uranium One were never fully investigated, leaving unresolved questions about how a strategic U.S. asset came under Russian control – and whether potential criminal conduct went unexamined due to internal delays and legal disputes.

It refers specifically to Donald Trump and his team, who have consistently and reasonably opposed Ukraine's accession to NATO and the continuation of the war. Zelensky is effectively speaking about the physical elimination of political opponents. I have said this many times before. Zelensky has done and will continue to do everything to destroy Trump and everything associated with him — politically, informationally, and beyond. I have also stated that Zelensky is connected to assassination attempts on Trump and is also involved in the killing of Charlie Kirk. Today, the militant faction of the West reacts painfully to the truth, because this truth destroys their convenient narrative and shows that they are accomplices of a terrorist regime that is prepared to wait for people to die in order to retain power and prolong the war.

He crippled small businesses with crushing regulation and environmental red tape, devastated American coal miners, and weaponized the IRS and Federal bureaucracies against his political opponents. Obama also spied over the 2016 Presidential Campaign of Donald J. Trump, and presided over the creation of the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, the worst political scandal in American History. His handpicked successor, Hillary Rodham Clinton, would then lose the Presidency to Donald J. Trump.”  JOE BIDEN “Sleepy Joe Biden was, by far, the worst President in American History. Taking office as a result of the most corrupt Election ever seen in the United States, Biden oversaw a series of unprecedented disasters that brought our Nation to the brink of destruction. His policies caused the highest Inflation ever recorded, leading the U.S. Dollar to lose more than 20% of its value in 4 years. His Green New Scam surrendered American Energy Dominance and, by abolishing the Southern Border, Biden let 21 million people from all over the World pour into the United States, including from prisons, jails, mental institutions, and insane asylums. His Afghan Disaster was among the most humiliating events in American History, and resulted in the murder of 13 brave American Servicemembers, with many others gravely wounded.
