Were Democratic attorneys general preparing to wage a legal battle against Donald Trump before voters even went to the polls? On this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor is joined by The Center Square investigative reporter Adam Herbets to discuss documents showing that more than 20 Democratic state attorneys general entered into a common-interest agreement as early as April 2024—months before Donald Trump won the presidential election. The agreement allowed the states to coordinate on what they called “federal accountability projects,” which Herbets says have since resulted in roughly 100 lawsuits against the Trump administration. Herbets explains how the states coordinated their legal strategies, why questions are being raised about taxpayer resources and public-record transparency, and whether these lawsuits are becoming a political and fundraising tool. He also details how states including California and New Jersey allocated additional money toward legal challenges involving the Trump administration. Tudor and Herbets also examine the growing role of money in politics, Gavin Newsom’s fundraising relationships with nonprofits and major corporations, government contracts, and the increasingly blurred line between political influence and public policy. The Tudor Dixon Podcast takes a closer look at the money, political power, and legal battles shaping government—and asks what taxpayers deserve to know about what is happening behind the scenes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Missouri State Senator Nick Schroer joins Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge on Primary Election Day to discuss turnout projections and the structural strategy behind Amendments 4 and 5. Senator Schroer addresses voter concerns regarding Amendment 5, clarifying that keeping the constitutional text open-ended was intended to maximize legislative flexibility in eliminating special interest tax loopholes rather than expanding sales taxes onto daycares, healthcare, or real estate. Schroer reveals a "Plan B" strategy if Amendment 5 fails, pledging that conservative leadership will use statutory mechanisms and spending cuts to accelerate income tax reductions toward zero.

Now he's running for Florida's 1st Congressional District (Matt Gaetz's former seat) to fight the deep state from the inside.In this episode, Reed and John go deep on the Iran war and whether it was a just strike, Joe Kent's resignation and what it signals, the Chinese influence operation in Latin America and on US campuses, why COVID was the greatest infringement on American liberty in our lifetime, the military vaccine mandate purge that kicked out 8,600 service members with only 1 in 1,000 reinstated, and why the Epstein files being buried is a political betrayal the Republican base won't forget.John also breaks down why he believes America is at a Roman Empire moment, what's actually required to fight the deep state from within Congress, why he refused to fake his vaccination status when almost everyone else did, and what he'd tell Trump if he had five minutes with him today.Topics covered: Iran conflict, Joe Kent, Venezuela/Monroe Doctrine, Chinese land purchases near US military bases, COVID red-pilling, big tech censorship, surveillance state, Palantir, Anthropic and the military, immigration and mass deportations, H-1B visa reform, Mexico as a narco state, abortion and federal vs. state power, the deep state defined, JFK and the Green Berets, Robin Sage unconventional warfare training, AIPAC money and special interest corruption, Epstein files and the two-tiered justice system, vaccine mandate purge and the reinstatement failure, and what it actually takes to not flip once you get to DC.Find John Frankman at frankmanforflorida.com and on X/Instagram/Facebook @JohnFrankmanFLCHAPTER TIMESTAMPSTimeChapter0:00Introduction — John Frankman: Green Beret, Seminary, Congress0:24Growing Up Between LA and DC — Faith, Divorce, and Finding God4:30Can a Christian Be a Warrior?

Today on Uncommon Sense, we're discussing what may be the most consequential political moment of Donald Trump's career. With Trump's approval ratings slipping, the Iran conflict escalating, renewed questions surrounding the Epstein files, and the assassination of Charlie Kirk continuing to reverberate through the conservative movement, many Americans are asking whether these events are isolated, or part of a much larger story.In this episode, I examine the connections I believe may exist between these developments, including my view that the Epstein files may have been used as leverage against powerful political figures and that foreign interests have exerted significant influence over American policy in the Middle East.We'll discuss:Trump's declining support among his baseThe growing controversy surrounding U.S. involvement with IranThe unanswered questions surrounding the Epstein filesThe political impact of Charlie Kirk's assassination and its aftermathWhy I believe these stories intersect in ways the mainstream media refuses to exploreMy goal is not to tell you what to think, but to encourage you to question narratives, follow incentives, and examine who benefits from the decisions being made in Washington.--https://www.bible.com/

The biggest fraud in American politics isn't happening in November — it's happening right now in the GOP primaries. I break down the devastating primary results from Kentucky, Idaho, and Georgia, revealing a harsh truth: The Republican Party is not reforming. We are miles away from having the party we need, yet we are debating one or two seats here or there in a game of inches. Instead of draining the swamp, Donald Trump's endorsement machine is crowning RINOs and defending the status quo. Why are self-appointed conservative leaders and organizations like TPUSA refusing to hold Trump accountable or at least pressure him off bad endorsements? We see that it worked with Ken Paxton. Why not try it elsewhere? I also discuss the generational divide in the conservative base and what patriots must do if we want to save the movement before it is entirely hijacked by false choices that are both lousy.  Learn more about your ad choices.

This is the fourth episode in my series on PDA and restrictive eating, and this one is for therapists. If you are an occupational therapist, a speech language pathologist, or another type of therapist working with a child who isn't responding to gentle, play-based, sensory-based, or exposure-based feeding approaches the way you'd expect, this episode designed to help you. I share the full arc of my older son Cooper's journey with extremely restrictive eating, from the time he was four and a half years old and eating primarily three processed foods, through five years of occupational therapy, to where he is today. I walk through how we adapted the SOS feeding protocol over time to incorporate autonomy, equality, lower demands, play, and connection to special interests. I also share five specific strategies you can bring into your sessions.Key TakeawaysThe Sensory Lens Is Not Enough | 00:02:04 I share how Cooper's restrictive eating was initially understood through a sensory lens, and how, for about a year and a half, that framing guided his therapy. But the sensory lens alone was not sufficient to explain the patterns I was seeing or to help him expand his eating. What I came to understand was that his survival drive for autonomy was also a major factor, and that the two had to be held together rather than treated separately.What Was and Was Not Working | 00:11:56 I walk through what was working in the early stages of occupational therapy, specifically the therapist's focus on establishing relationship and rapport before moving to skill acquisition, and the role that dopamine, novelty, and sensory-intense experiences played in Cooper's initial engagement. I also describe what was not working: visual schedules and laminated choice boards, pressure to describe sensory experiences verbally, and structured home-based feeding protocols. For a PDA child, I explain, even chosen structure can become an internal demand.Autonomy and Equality as Accommodations | 00:16:37 I describe two specific accommodations that became central to how we approached feeding therapy over five years: autonomy and equality. Autonomy meant shifting away from scheduled, structured feeding time and toward strewing, declarative language, and following Cooper's lead. Equality meant deliberately allowing him to win, be above the therapist and me in games, direct the session, and have the last word. I explain how these accommodations address the root cause of nervous system activation rather than managing the surface behavior.Lowering Demands in the Session | 00:29:35 I describe what it looked like to lower demands in the occupational therapy session itself, meaning doing things for Cooper that he was cognitively or physically capable of doing himself, so that his available capacity could go toward tolerating and engaging with food. I give specific examples and I address the common concern that this approach enables children rather than building independence, and explain why the logic is different for PDA.Special Interests as a Turning Point | 00:37:06 I describe the turning point in Cooper's feeding therapy, which came when eating became connected to his special interest in football. I explain how this connection made it possible to revisit things he had previously rejected, including the laminated food charts, but this time entirely on his terms. I also offer five specific strategies for therapists at the end of the episode.Relevant ResourcesFree Therapist Masterclass — Free class for OTs and therapists on PDA.What Is PDA? — Overview of PDA as a nervous system disability.Paradigm Shift Program —Our signature live coaching program where we walk families as they implement accommodations and move forward.

In this highlight Dr. Cooling explores with me how we can go about improving awareness and diagnosis rates of people living with coeliac disease amongst the Australian medical profession with new emerging tools such as AI. We also talk about the improvements needed in hospitality and how we can move forward with coeliac disease and gluten free awareness together. Links Listen to the full episode here Join A Gluten Free Podcast Facebook group here

The ever-changing landscape of working as a language professional prompts translators and interpreters to lean into unique areas and specialties. ATA offers a way to build communities around these interests in the form of officially recognized Special Interest Groups (SIGs). Similar to divisions, SIGs are a convenient way to provide ATA members the opportunity to build, connect, and grow with other linguists within their professional or non-working niche.   We are joined in this ATA Podcast episode by Robert Sette, CT, a longtime translator who works in many language pairs and is the founder of ATA's SIGs membership benefit. Tune in as Adam interviews him to hear more about ATA's current SIGs and what you can gain by joining or forming your own.   Show Notes: Mentoring Program: https://www.atanet.org/career-education/mentoring/mentoring-program/ ATA's Board of Directors: https://www.atanet.org/about-us/board/ ATA Divisions and SIGs: https://www.atanet.org/member-center/divisions/ Join Divisions and Special Interest Groups: https://communityhub.atanet.org/mydivisions Southeast Asian Languages SIG: https://www.atanet.org/special-groups/seal-sig-southeast-asian-languages/ Financial Translators SIG: https://www.atanet.org/special-groups/ft-sig-financial-translators/ Translators and Interpreters in Education SIG: https://www.atanet.org/special-groups/ite-sig-interpreters-translators-in-education/ Benefits of ATA Membership: https://www.atanet.org/member-center/benefits-of-membership/ ATA Membership Categories: https://www.atanet.org/member-center/member-categories/ American Association of Interpreters and Translators in Education: https://www.aaite.org/ Join ATA: https://www.atanet.org/member-center/join-ata/ The ATA Podcast Archive: https://www.atanet.org/news/the-ata-podcast/ ATA Events Calendar: https://www.atanet.org/ata-events/ ATA Socials: https://linkin.bio/americantranslatorsassn  The ATA Chronicle: https://www.ata-chronicle.online/   Please send comments, questions, or requests about this podcast to podcast@atanet.org.

Trump promised to govern for the whole of the people rather than special interests. Sadly, this administration has become a conduit for Big Tech and every special interest under the sun. This is why the DHS is now fighting a bipartisan effort to block TSA from using your biometric information gathered at airports. Sadly, Republicans have no narrative on housing, health care, and inflation and are too busy claiming the economy is good. They also have no answer for judicial supremacism, which is worse than ever before.
