It comes as her party sees resurgent support — thanks, especially, to her US counterpart President Donald Trump. Also, a health aid agreement between the US and Zimbabwe has collapsed after Harare rejected it over concerns about data sharing and sovereignty issues. And, dozens of humanitarian aid groups face expulsion from Gaza and the West Bank as soon as this weekend, unless they hand over detailed personal information about their staff to Israeli authorities.

After Barack Obama recently clarified his comments about aliens, UFOs, UAPs, and Area 51, the question resurfaced: Are we alone in the universe? In this episode replay, Aaron shares a strange midnight encounter under the stars that, for a moment, felt like a UFO. Or maybe a UAP? What he and his wife saw in the sky sparked thoughts of alien life, pop culture fascination, and the mathematics of the cosmos before revealing what it actually was.

It's becoming increasingly obvious that Trump's mountain of broken promises, radical foreign policy decisions and unorthodox economic policies are causing deep damage to his MAGA brand.Last week the Supreme Court, with three Trump appointees, ruled against Trump's use of IEEPA to issue tariffs.The court's ruling was only one of many failures for Trump last week as newly revised jobs data showed a major contraction in the labor market last year. The trade deficit in 2025 showed little improvement despite Trump's widespread use of tariffs and the fourth quarter GDP reading was well below expectations.According to multiple polls Americans have tired of Trump's harsh immigration policies, and military threats to foreign countries. Most voters have no interest in conquering Greenland, crushing Cuba, managing Venezuela or invading Iran.Grocery prices and utility bills remain elevated while Trump gaslights the American public insisting that costs for everything have dropped dramatically. Health insurance premiums for millions of Americans have dramatically increased while SNAP and Medicaid benefits have been cut.Meanwhile the president remains obsessed with his gigantic White House ballroom and plans for an oversized monumental arch built in his honor.The glorious leader has lost support among nearly every demographic except for his cultish base of supporters. There are even signs that diehard MAGA fans are losing faith.Underneath all of the spin more sinister details surrounding Trump's possible involvement with Jeffrey Epstein's many heinous crimes and sex trafficking operation remains.Fox News is desperate to keep the Trump myth alive either by ignoring stories that make the president look bad or spending excessive amounts of coverage on segments that aren't political.One sign of the network's panicked approach was the fact that Barack Obama's name appeared 74 times in the transcripts last week.

In this episode, we take a fresh (and frozen) look at how freezing works, why it matters for nutrition, and how frozen foods fit into today's evolving dietary guidance and food systems. From debunking persistent myths to exploring how frozen fruits and vegetables can support healthier eating patterns, reduce food waste, and improve access to nutrient-dense foods, this conversation connects the dots between research, real-world eating habits, and public health programs. We also dive into emerging policy efforts and pilot programs that recognize frozen produce as a powerful tool for improving food security and diet quality—especially for communities using SNAP and nutrition incentive programs. If you're curious about how frozen foods stack up nutritionally, practically, and sustainably, this episode offers a timely, evidence-based perspective. Tune in to this episode to learn about: the science behind the freezing process how and why foods are frozen the benefits of frozen foods common myths about frozen foods what drives shoppers to purchase frozen foods how frozen foods fit in the context of evolving nutrition science and dietary guidelines nutritional equivalency of frozen foods compared to fresh or home prepared foods innovative ways to include frozen foods into a healthy diet how frozen produce can improve fruit and vegetable consumption how the frozen food industry supports food waste reduction GusNIP pilot to integrate frozen produce into the nutrition incentive program for SNAP participants SHOPP Act legislation that ensures frozen produce is represented in the Produce Prescription Program resources for health professionals and the public

It passed 193 bills over the past week, and now Wisconsin’s state Legislature is essentially done for the rest of 2026. State Assembly Rep. Steve Doyle (D-Onalaska) stopped in studio Monday to help wrap our heads around what it was like in Madison during that final push, why severe migraines caused him to miss some votes, and what the retirement of Speaker Robin Vos means for the future of the state. Doyle, who noted that he currently ranks as the most bipartisan member of the Assembly, also pulled back the curtain on the "brutal" Republican caucus infighting that finally led to the passage of Gail’s Law and postpartum Medicaid expansion. These two bills received all but one vote from the entire Assembly, yet they had been "bottled up" for a decade. He described a scene where Democrats essentially ground the session to a halt with amendments until the GOP leadership finally relented on the proposals, which boast 95% public support. The conversation shifted to the state’s $2.5 billion budget surplus. Doyle argued that if the state is sitting on that much cash, it has simply overtaxed the public—though he admitted the "devil is in the details" when it comes to returning that money while still properly funding schools and local municipalities. One of the more "head-scratching" pieces of legislation we hit on was the push to ban "junk food" from SNAP benefits. While the state is already looking at nearly $70 million in new administrative costs just to keep the program running under new federal rules, this bill would tack on another $6 million to build and maintain a "candy and soda database." It’s a complicated mess that creates some wild contradictions; as Doyle pointed out, the database could potentially ban a bottle of sparkling water while still allowing a dairy-filled milkshake, simply because we’re the dairy state. Looking ahead to a post-Vos era, Doyle expressed a sense of relief. He's hopeful that the "zero-sum game" of the last ten years might finally be replaced by a more pragmatic, "get-things-done" tone under new leadership. We wrapped up the show by tackling the ethics of "mugshot pages" on social media. Most people have seen these Facebook groups dedicated to reposting police photos, often creating a digital scarlet letter before a case even reaches court. We asked Doyle—as both a lawmaker and a lawyer—if there is a way to curb this practice, especially when it results in the public vilification of people who may be innocent or whose low-level offenses don't warrant a lifetime of social media harassment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Its time for us to take some pictures, and take a ton of them.  We review the New Pokémon Snap game that took the simple concept and really ran with it.  It improves on it in every way and makes something I didnt expect.   This is also a game that very much is a love letter to the brand and its fans.  Come hear what we thought about this game. Starring Mike Albertin, Phoebe Stanton, Alyssa, and Kyle.

On today's episode, we discuss the escalating cartel violence in Mexico, how it has trapped American tourists in resort cities, and what it reveals about the Mexican government's loss of control to organized crime. The hosts connect this chaos to broader security concerns, including a partial shutdown of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and a foiled attack by a heavily armed intruder at Mar-a-Lago, raising questions about strained federal protection resources. They shift to lighter but telling moments, from Tesla's self-driving quirks around “low IQ” dogs to New York City's requirement of multiple IDs to get paid for shoveling snow while not requiring ID to vote, as an example of skewed policy priorities. The conversation then turns legal and political, covering Louisiana welfare fraud prosecutions, limits on what SNAP can buy, and a major lawsuit accusing Meta of making social media unreasonably addictive for children. Finally, they explore the public's growing hostility toward Elon Musk, the prospect of AI arbitrators and even AI juries in future legal disputes, and the continuing fight over election integrity laws like the SAVE Act. Don't miss it!

The mobile phone market is dominated by a small group of global brands, yet there remains a growing demand for devices that prioritize practicality, affordability, and simplicity. Unnecto focuses on value‑oriented mobile phones designed to deliver essential features without the cost or complexity associated with flagship devices. The company operates across the Americas, with a presence in the United States, South America, and the Caribbean, and develops products informed by direct feedback from local markets.Unnecto's strategy centers on creating devices that serve real‑world needs rather than competing in the high‑end specification race. This includes offering 5G connectivity, eSIM support, NFC, large batteries, and generous storage in its Android smartphones. The emphasis is placed on usability and reliability, ensuring that customers receive meaningful functionality rather than features that inflate cost without improving everyday experience.Meeting the Needs of Diverse MarketsIn South America and the Caribbean, Unnecto focuses on delivering accessible smartphones that balance performance and affordability. These markets often require durable devices with long battery life, strong connectivity, and practical features suited to daily communication and media use. Unnecto's local presence allows the company to adapt quickly to regional preferences and tailor devices to specific market conditions.In the United States, the company targets a different set of users. The market is heavily influenced by premium brands, making it challenging for new entrants to compete directly. Instead, Unnecto appeals to customers seeking alternatives to high‑priced smartphones, individuals transitioning to Android for the first time, and users who want a simpler, less distracting mobile experience. This includes consumers who are intentionally stepping back from constant notifications and app‑driven engagement.The Snap: A Modern Feature Phone with a Physical KeyboardOne of Unnecto's most distinctive products is the Snap, a foldable feature phone equipped with a physical QWERTY keyboard. The device is designed for users who prefer tactile typing or who want a streamlined communication tool without the distractions of a modern smartphone. The keyboard offers satisfying travel and responsiveness, creating a familiar experience reminiscent of earlier mobile devices while maintaining a compact, pocket‑friendly form factor.The Snap appeals to two primary groups. The first includes users who appreciate the nostalgia and efficiency of a physical keyboard. The second consists of younger consumers seeking digital balance. Many in this demographic are adopting simpler phones as secondary devices for nights out, travel, or periods of intentional disconnection. The Snap supports calling, texting, a basic camera, dual SIM functionality, and a microSD slot, but it does not include an app store or social media applications. This design encourages communication without the constant pull of algorithm‑driven content.Practicality, Affordability, and Everyday UseThe Snap's affordability is a key part of its appeal. Priced at around seventy dollars, it offers a durable build, a textured exterior for comfortable grip, and a hinge designed for repeated use. The device is available unlocked and compatible with T‑Mobile and its subsidiary carriers, as well as major online retailers. Its simplicity makes it suitable as a primary phone for users seeking minimalism or as a secondary device for situations where a high‑value smartphone may be impractical.Unnecto's broader product line follows the same philosophy: devices built to be functional tools rather than status symbols. By focusing on essential features, long battery life, and accessible pricing, the company provides alternatives for consumers who want reliable communication without unnecessary complexity.ConclusionUnnecto brings a practical, user‑focused perspective to the mobile phone market through value‑driven smartphones and thoughtfully designed feature phones. The Snap exemplifies this approach by offering a modern take on the classic QWERTY device, supporting communication while reducing digital noise. As consumers increasingly seek balance between connectivity and simplicity, Unnecto's products provide meaningful options that align with evolving expectations around mobile technology.Interview by Scott Ertz of F5 Live: Refreshing Technology.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

From the passing of cultural icons like James Van Der Beek and Robert Duvall to the deeply personal grief of losing his uncle and cousin—both Cleveland firefighters who ran toward danger for a living—this episode explores the difference between distant loss and the kind that reshapes you. Recorded on Ash Wednesday, “Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust” wrestles with mortality, memory, and a question Aaron first asked at age 12: When the body stops, does everything stop? Or are we more like radios—receivers of something that continues beyond us?

Major federal investments and national guidance can shape the future of public health, but only if states can turn policy into practice. This episode looks at two sweeping developments and the on-the-groundwork required to make them matter. First, Chris Salyers, Director of Programs and Evaluation at the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health explains the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP), a $50 billion, five-year investment aimed at strengthening rural communities. With no clear blueprint for moving funds at this scale, states are in the early stages of building advisory groups, navigating procurement and contracting rules, and working to ensure dollars actually reach rural providers and organizations, not just large outside entities. Salyers highlights the importance of stakeholder engagement, peer learning, and using this planning window to build systems that allow smaller, capacity-strapped rural groups to compete for funding.  Then, Shannon Vance, Director, Family and Child Health at ASTHO, breaks down the newly released 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and their wide-ranging implications. With chronic disease driving nearly 90% of U.S. healthcare spending, the updated guidance, including stronger limits on added sugars, greater emphasis on protein and full-fat dairy, and life-stage–specific recommendations, could reshape everything from individual eating habits to major federal nutrition programs. Vance explores the ripple effects for SNAP, WIC, and school meals, where agencies are already juggling recent rule changes, tight budgets, and supply challenges.Leadership Power Hour: Your Launchpad for Impact | ASTHOThe 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines: Understanding the New Pyramid | ASTHOFunding & Collaboration Opportunities | ASTHOASTHO (@ASTHO) / XAssociation of State and Territorial Health Officials (@asthonews.bsky.social) — Bluesky(1) Instagram(1) LinkedInFacebook

The "Damn We Grown" Wednesday is back, and so is the chaos! Mike and Tiff are back in the studio, proving that even after nearly two decades together, they're still figuring out how to not accidentally become "just roommates."In this episode, our favorite "two creatives" dive into the post-honeymoon reality check. They reminisce about being "broke-broke" newlyweds—you know, the kind of broke where Top Ramen feels like a five-star date night because you're still in that "blissful" fog.Mom Duty vs. "Hell-Raiser": Tiff vents about the "bananas" reality of parenting a pre-teen who is starting to look and act a little too much like her mother.The "Finger" Talk: Mike gets real about his first colonoscopy. It's all fun and games until the doctor says, "Take a deep breath," and you wake up wondering if you're still a whole man.The Great Bed Upgrade: The couple reflects on moving from a "Queen world" to a "King-size" bed—where the space is so vast they actually have to use pillows to find each other.Contaminated Counters?: Tiff explains why anything wet on the kitchen counter is automatically treated as "poison" or "booty juice" until proven otherwise.The "Intimate" Schedule: Why scheduled date nights and "appointments" for sex aren't just for old people—they're for grown folks who actually want to keep the spark alive.Key Vibe: "I remember in college, I would buy them cheap sheets... and they would feel like sandpaper. What were we thinking back then?"Choose joy, choose sleep, and for the love of everything, don't leave water on Tiff's counter.

Ladies and gentlemen, let's get one thing straight: if there's one thing Democrats excel at, it's turning public trust into personal profit. From the White House down to your local city council, from federally funded social programs to municipal contracts, there is no level at which they will not hustle the taxpayer. Medicaid? Misallocated, mismanaged, and misappropriated. Autism programs? Millions lost to fraudulent claims, consultants cashing in while children wait. SNAP? Ghost recipients, phantom claims, and grocery money flowing straight into the pockets of insiders. Hospice care? Millions siphoned while the dying get less than promised. 8A housing programs? Crony contracts disguised as minority empowerment. Social Security? Millions of scammers removed only because agencies like D.O.G.E. finally decided to clean up what Democrats left unchecked for decades.It's a long, unbroken thread of entitlement, audacity, and creative accounting. Democrats have institutionalized cheating so completely that no level of government is safe from their hustle. They've turned the entire apparatus of governance—federal programs, city budgets, state authorities—into a conveyor belt of taxpayer-funded side hustles. And if you thought the press would ever hold them accountable, well, the press seems content to cover the spectacle with polite applause.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Five states have begun banning soda and candy purchases through SNAP — with 18 states seeking similar waivers. Is this smart public health policy or government overreach? Michael speaks with Dr. Julia Wolfson of Johns Hopkins to break down how SNAP works, why 42 million Americans rely on it, and whether restricting “junk food” will improve health — or deepen stigma. From slippery slope concerns to the politics behind the policy, this is a thoughtful look at one of the most debated changes to food assistance in decades. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It's budget season in Detroit and in Lansing, and the choices leaders make now will shape city services and state programs for the next few years. On today's Daily Detroit, we talk with Steve Watson of the consulting firm Watson & Yates about where the money comes from and where it might go.​ First, we look at Detroit's budget in Mayor Mary Sheffield's first year as mayor. Detroit's money picture is different from the suburbs, and Steve breaks it into four big "buckets": income tax from people and businesses in the city, fast-growing casino and online betting taxes, state revenue sharing, and property taxes, which rank only fourth even though rates are high. They explain how careful revenue forecasts, the lasting impact of remote work, and a growing labor force all change what Detroit can afford to do.​ Then the conversation shifts to Governor Gretchen Whitmer's final proposed state budget. There are new cost pressures from federal rule changes, and about proposed state tax hikes on tobacco, internet gaming, sports betting, and digital ads. They connect this to what it means for Detroiters who use Medicaid and SNAP, and for Detroit's casino-based tax revenues.​ To wrap up, they share simple steps you can take to get involved, including who to call, key dates to watch, and why paying attention to budgets now can help your neighborhood later.

1. Large-Scale Individual Fraud Example A Los Angeles contractor, Alexander Suker, is accused of stealing $23 million intended to feed and house homeless individuals. Funds were allegedly used for luxury homes, cars, vacations, designer goods, and private schools, instead of homeless services. 2. Failure to Deliver Promised Services Suker was contracted to provide three meals per day to up to 600 homeless people. Inspections reportedly found only canned beans and ramen noodles, contradicting billing claims. Prosecutors allege the use of fake vendors, falsified facilities, and false service records. 3. Broader Pattern of Fraud in California Federal authorities indicate at least 12 additional similar cases under investigation. A U.S. Attorney stated that large sums were pushed out quickly with minimal vetting or checks and balances. 4. Comparison to Other State Scandals Investigators and commentators compare California’s situation to Minnesota’s Feeding Our Future fraud, claiming California’s fraud may be larger in scale. Independent investigator Nick Shirley claims billions of dollars may be involved statewide. 5. Alleged Billions in Unaccounted Public Funds $70 billion in taxpayer funds missing or unaccounted for $24 billion spent on allegedly nonexistent homelessness programs $18 billion on nonfunctional high-speed rail $32 billion in stolen COVID relief funds $2.5 billion lost to SNAP fraud 6. Political and Structural Implications California leadership is accused of enabling fraud by prioritizing rapid spending over accountability. Calls are made for whistleblower lawsuits as a tool to recover funds. Critics argue that higher taxes are being proposed despite massive losses. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
