Andrew McClenahan, Senior Director of Government Relations at LexisNexis Risk Solutions and former program leader at the Florida Department of Children and Families joins the show to dissect the growing concerns surrounding program integrity and fraud mitigation in federal and state benefit programs. We dive into what's happening on Capitol Hill—from executive orders and agency mandates to the shifting dynamics of federal-state collaboration—and discuss the implications of recent USDA guidance on eligibility oversight, performance standards, and funding threats for underperforming states—particularly as pandemic relief funds dry up.

On this episode of the Level Up Latina Podcast, we dive into Part 2 of an important and deeply personal topic: The Sandwich Generation. A thoughtful listener asked us to revisit what it means to be part of this generation—caught in the middle of raising children while also caring for aging parents. It's a challenging season of life, especially for first-gen Latinas navigating the responsibilities of motherhood alongside supporting parents who may face language barriers, cultural differences, or limited access to healthcare and financial systems. We open up about our own journeys, the pressures and rewards of this phase, and how we lean on one another to grow into better mothers and daughters. Tune in as we share insights, lessons learned, and practical advice for anyone living this delicate balancing act.

    Slam the Gavel welcomes Bea Marnay to the podcast. She was last on Season 5, Episodes 114 and 193. Bea discussed reaching out to parents to help remedy the issue of the removal of children. However, that is to remove the funding to Child Welfare. This led to the  news article on January 28th, 2025, where The Imprint Youth & Family News came out with the article, "Child Welfare Leaders Stunned by Trump's Call to Freeze Social Services Spending; Legal Action Quickly Threatened."      "The funding is creating the BIG problem in Social Services, where they are  putting a dollar sign on our children, and they remove them for PROFIT. Not because they want to give the child a better a life, or not because of the "child's best interest," which is not happening in the courtrooms all across America, so the funding that was creating the removals for profit needed to be removed. This happened on January 28th, 2025. Apparently HHS employees were locked out of their offices. They are trying to bring in new staff." Stated Bea Marnay.     So much discussion in this podcast as Bea talked about a case where a child had gotten lost in the system and how CPS removed a newborn from a mother who had been in the foster care system. We also discussed how the traffickers are linked to HHS as RFK, Jr. stated.    To Reach Bea Marnay: ecett.org (end child exploitation think tank)***** Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.comhttps://ko-fi.com/maryannpetri*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

In this true crime story of Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide, I tell you about the tragic case of Baby Peter Connelly (Baby P,) the 17-month-old toddler whose life was cut short by horrific abuse in North London, England.On October 3, 2007, a 911 call from his mother, Tracy Connelly, revealed a horrific scene that would expose systemic failures in child protective services. As paramedics arrived, they found Peter unresponsive, covered in bruises, and with a myriad of injuries that shocked and sickened everyone.Listen now as I go over the timeline of Peter's life, from his birth to the series of missed opportunities by social services and medical professionals that ultimately led to his death. I recount the horrific details of his abuse, the failed interventions, and the subsequent trial that left many questioning the accountability of those responsible for his care.This episode serves as a powerful reminder of the vulnerabilities faced by children and the critical need for effective protective measures. I reflect on the outrage that followed Peter's death and the reforms that were demanded in the wake of such a preventable tragedy. As I navigate this heartbreaking story, I emphasize the importance of vigilance and action in the face of suspected child abuse, urging listeners to report their concerns and advocate for vulnerable children everywhere.Bonus episode of Baby P/ Ky Rants: https://www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-ky-rants-114211020?Chapters:(02:04) This case was previously done into Patreon, where you will hear all of my rage(02:45) Peter Connolly died of following alleged child abuse(11:45) The aftermath of Peter's death triggered a series of inquiries and reviews(20:10) The Baby P case caused national outrage and calls for child protection reformThis episode is not just a recount of a tragic story; it is a call to action.

On this episode of Work with Purpose, we hear from Ray Griggs AO CSC about what working in the navy has taught him about taking and giving feedback, and why difficult conversations are part and parcel of becoming a better leader.Ray Griggs AO CSC looks back at a long and distinguished career in the public sector – from Australia's Defence Force to most recently the Department of Social Services. Along the way, he navigated many difficult conversations, had his views contested, and at times, had to manage failure. In this conversation with host David Pembroke, CEO of contentgroup, he tells us how these challenges contribute to growing as a leader – and as a human.They also discuss managing large-scale change in complex environments, why you should always do your own fact-checking, and how solutions through new technologies need to be co-designed with Australia's communities.Key tips:How you respond to people's views and ideas is crucial. Respond the way you'd like your own leaders to respond to you.Never neglect doing your own fact checking. Once you launch into the process, your credibility can be at risk.Work out how real a timeline is. Sometimes we impose unrealistic timelines on ourselves.ShownotesValedictory: Ray Griggs AO CSC | IPAA ACT Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Representative Yin was elected in 2018. He represents most of the town of Jackson. This year he was just one of six Democrats in the State House. He serves on two committees - Labor, Health and Social Services as well as Corporations Elections and Political Subdivisions, where he is the lone Democrat on both. The legislative session wrapped on March 7. He speaks with Frederick Reimers about its rightward shift.“We've seen a growing group on the right say that working together is actually a bad thing, working with Democrats is a bad thing,” he said. “Politics becomes the overtaking concern rather than actually dealing and solving problems with the state.”

EPISODE 501 - Doralyn Moore - From Social Services to Writer, Finding Faith in Stories and BeliefReading is a pleasure for me and there is seldom a time that I do not carry a book in my hand. I have even been known to take one to a major league baseball game, which put a big frown on my husband's face.One day as I was reading a book, I thought to myself, “I can do this. I can write a book.” Little did I know then how challenging it is to write a novel. But the thought put a seed in my mind and soon after that, I began writing. However, life got in the way and I put the writing aside for many years. When I retired in 2019, I pulled out the old manuscripts and began revising them.In March 2021, I self-published “Seventy Times Seven” with Friesen Press. In 2022, “Hope Doesn't Disappoint”, the first book of the 3-book Victory Series was published traditionally by Elk Lake Publishing, Inc., a small Christian company in Plymouth, MA. The second book in the series, “Abundance of Grace” came out in June 2023. The third, “Caused to Triumph”, is to be published sometime in 2024.During the over thirty years I worked in the social services field, I met people of diverse cultures, socioeconomic and educational backgrounds, and beliefs. Their personalities and stories have become a melting pot in my brain and from that concoction come the characters and plots for my books. They do not come from one specific person but from a melding of many.https://www.doralynmoore.ca/___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

House Republicans are laying the groundwork for sweeping tax cuts and deep spending reductions, unveiling a budget blueprint that would extend $4.5 trillion in Trump-era tax breaks while cutting $1.5 trillion in federal programs over the next decade. The plan, which also includes a $4 trillion debt ceiling increase, would shift funding away from social services—including Medicaid, education, and food assistance—while increasing spending on defense and border security. The Energy and Commerce Committee has been tasked with cutting $880 billion, while the Education and Workforce Committee faces a $330 billion reduction. At the same time, Trump's mass deportation initiative would receive a $90 billion boost, and defense spending would rise by $100 billion. With tensions mounting in Congress, the debate remains: Will these tax cuts and spending shifts stimulate economic growth, or will they deepen inequality and financial hardship for millions?
