Anthropic Stands Up to Hegseth. Arrest in NYPD Snowstorm Attack. More ICE Carnage. Movers Save Abducted 3-Year Old. Epstein Files Missing Claims Against Trump. Hegseth Attacks…The Boy Scouts.  War with Iran could happen this weekend — and that's not hyperbole. In Episode 451 of Independent Americans, Paul Rieckhoff brings in nuclear policy expert Joe Cirincione to break down what U.S. intelligence actually says about the Iran threat (spoiler: it doesn't back Trump's claims), the terrifying intersection of AI and nuclear weapons, and why removing humans from the kill-decision chain isn't just bad policy — it's existential. Plus: the jaw-dropping standoff between Anthropic and the Pentagon, where one of America's top AI companies is refusing to let the government use its technology for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons. This episode also covers Pakistan declaring open war on Afghanistan, a U.S. military laser accidentally shooting down a CBP drone in El Paso, Hegseth's culture war on the Boy Scouts while real wars loom, a draft executive order seeking expanded presidential control over elections, and ICE's continued lawless rampage — including the death of a blind Buffalo refugee abandoned in the cold. Episode 451 is essential listening for anyone trying to understand the most dangerous national security moment since the Cold War.

Paul Rieckhoff is stuck in Florida — airports shut down, snowstorm paralyzing the Northeast — but he's not going quiet. In this special episode, Paul breaks down Trump's State of the Union address in real time, delivering the sharpest analysis you won't hear anywhere else. The speech clocked in as the longest State of the Union ever delivered. Trump spent exactly three minutes on Iran — roughly 90 minutes in. Paul calls it what it is: a missed opportunity, a half-made case, and a failure of presidential responsibility. The core issue isn't whether military action against Iran is on the table — it clearly is. The pieces are in place. The forces are arrayed. Paul knows what that looks like firsthand; he was in Iraq when the U.S. went to war in 2003. What's missing from Trump's address is the one thing every commander-in-chief owes the American people before pulling the trigger: an honest accounting of the cost. No mention of consulting Congress. No coalition of allies. No preparation for what a long conflict — with real American casualties — could mean. Trump's approval rating among independents sits at 26%, down ten points from last year. That number tells the story. Then there's Ukraine. The United States just abstained from a United Nations vote affirming support for Ukraine — standing alongside Saudi Arabia. On the four-year anniversary of Russia's invasion. Paul, who founded American Veterans for Ukraine, doesn't mince words: it's a black mark on America's record, a moment that demanded moral clarity, and a president who chose silence instead. Finally, New York City. Paul weighs in on the viral NYPD snowball incident — where officers were pelted with ice by a mob — and the new mayor's stunning failure to stand with his police department. Paul breaks down why this moment matters far beyond one incident, and what it signals about a mayor who came into office with the lowest trust from the NYPD in recent memory. This is Independent Americans: straight talk, no party loyalty, and the five I's to keep you connected.

Two Medals of Honor Awarded. Dem's Spanberger Response Better Than Usual. Cuban Government Shoots 4 Americans on a Speedboat. Obama Legacy's Signature a Slam Dunk. The State of the Union is over — but the real story is what Trump didn't say. In Episode 449, Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the longest SOTU in American history: two hours of pageantry, 103 standing ovations, and a president who gave 20 seconds to Ukraine on the fourth anniversary of Russia's invasion while quietly beating the war drums on Iran. Paul cuts through the noise to find the moments that actually mattered — including a 100-year-old Korean War hero finally receiving his Medal of Honor, a Coast Guard rescue swimmer honored for saving 169 lives, and Army veteran George Redis, detained by ICE and then released without a phone call or a lawyer, sitting in the chamber as a living indictment of an out-of-control federal agency. While most Americans tuned out before 11 PM, Paul stayed locked in. He breaks down the Democratic response — led by Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger, a former CIA officer who delivered arguably the strongest opposition address in recent memory — and the organized Democratic boycott that sent dozens of members to a counter-programming event on the National Mall. He also zeroes in on the Epstein files, where Representative Thomas Massie is asking the question millions of Americans want answered: why are there still no arrests in the United States while resignations pile up worldwide? Then it's below the radar: breaking news out of Cuba, where the Cuban government shot four Americans aboard a Florida-based speedboat. Paul connects the dots — Trump's pressure campaign, Rubio's long-stated goal of regime change, and how this incident could become the pretext for the next military strike. Back at home, he doesn't let up on ICE, playing the raw interview with Elia Rahmet — the woman dragged from her car in Minneapolis, both shoulders torn — and demanding accountability by name. Plus: Mayor Adams failing the NYPD in Washington Square Park, Tommy Tuberville earning his "Senator Redneck" title again, and something good: the Obama Presidential Library's basketball court and Bruce Springsteen bringing Tom Morello on every stop of his tour. Paul also shares big news — he'll be appearing on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert in the coming weeks, and Sebastian Junger is confirmed for next week's episode. If you believe America's future belongs to independent thinkers, not party loyalists — this is your show. Country over party. People over politics.

Trump's Approval Hits New Low with Independents Ahead of State of the Union. Whistleblower Blasts ICE Training. 4 Years of the Ukraine War.  Women's Hockey Declines Trump Invite.   For decades, Mike Duggan was a Democrat. He ran Detroit, guided the city through bankruptcy, cut crime to 60-year lows, and built 6,000 housing units in one of America's most storied cities. Then he looked at what was happening in Lansing — Republicans and Democrats unable to speak to each other, state budgets arriving three months late, schools opening without funding — and made a decision that's shaking up Michigan politics: he declared his independence. Duggan joins Paul Rieckhoff on Independent Americans for an extended conversation about why he walked away from the party that shaped his career, what it actually takes to run as an independent, and why the latest polling has him in a dead-even three-way race for governor of Michigan — tied with both the leading Democrat and Republican. He talks about the unions that crossed over to endorse him, his decision to build a campaign on house calls rather than party machinery, and why he believes the Democrat and the Republican are the real spoilers in this race — not him. Paul and Mike also go head-to-head on the hardest issues: tariffs devastating Michigan's auto industry, ICE operations in Detroit and across the country, the State of the Union, and how an independent governor deals with a president who has picked fights with governors of both parties. Duggan's answers aren't always what you'd expect — and Paul doesn't let him off the hook. This is what independent politics looks like in real time. Hard choices and hard questions. But if the independent wave hits this fall on Election Day, this race in Michigan will be the forward edge. And you probably heard it here first.  -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here.

Iran Attacks Still Loom. Vets Sue Trump Over His Stupid Arch. More ICE Violence. Lessons from Ukraine's Drone War for Europe. Vets & VFW Blast Collins. Celebrating the Olympics. Stuck in Tampa while a historic snowpocalypse buries much of America, Army vet and Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff rips through a wild 48 hours in politics, national security and sports—and what it all means for you. From a bomb-cyclone shutting down the Northeast to Trump boasting he can “destroy countries” while massing U.S. firepower around Iran, Paul tracks rising risks of war with Iran, unrest in Mexico after cartel boss El Mencho's killing, and covert strikes off Venezuela in a dangerous new phase of unchecked presidential power.​ He digs into ICE's culture of impunity—from the killing of a U.S. citizen in Texas to an 80-year-old lawyer slammed to the ground in California—and why he believes the agency's broken culture can't be fixed and must be shut down, while exposing FBI Director Kash Patel's Olympics “boondoggle,” beer-chugging locker-room photo op, and Trump's “boondoggliest” cabinet. Paul also spotlights real pushback: veterans forcing the VA to halt a radical benefits rule, lawsuits to stop Trump's absurd 250-foot arch that would block the view from Arlington, and Ukraine's three-year fight against Russia and drone warfare that's reshaping modern combat.​ And there's still room for hope: Alysa Liu's joyful figure-skating gold, dominant U.S. women's hockey, and a legendary U.S. men's overtime win offer a powerful alternative face of America—and a reminder of the toughness and leadership of American women athletes under political pressure. No guests, no fluff—just a rapid-fire, independent briefing to start your week, whether you're digging out from the snow or under the Florida sun, with the independence, integrity, information, inspiration and impact you expect from Independent Americans—and a call to look out for your neighbors, stand with veterans and Ukraine, and stay vigilant. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here.

Tackling ICE Accountability. Trump's Latest Iran War Could Happen Any Minute Now. Tariffs Harm to Wisconsin Farmers.  Wisconsin's 6th District hasn't elected anyone but a Republican to Congress since 1967. But Mike Thurow — a union fire captain, hazmat team commander, and father of four — thinks the district isn't red or blue. It's fed up. Thurow recently declared his independent candidacy for Congress, and his message is simple: Washington is burning, and politicians from both parties are watching. As a trained firefighter, he says his job is to show up, do the work, and never ask who you're going to save before you save them. That's the exact opposite of what he sees in Congress right now — and he's running to change it. Paul and Mike cover the top stories shaking the country this week. ICE and the line between good public safety and trust, masked agents without badges destroying community trust that makes any law enforcement possible — and that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's disqualifying conduct. With ships moving into position and Trump threatening strikes on Iran, the Constitution requiring a congressional declaration of war, and Trump's broader record: "I think we've dropped bombs on seven different countries at this point. That's not no more foreign wars." Thurow is running in a district that went hard for Trump — and he gets why. He understands the rage, the frustration with a two-party system that's been bought and paid for by corporations and billionaires while working people get left behind. He's not taking corporate PAC money. He's not interested in party bosses. He's a union firefighter who taught hazmat response to every fire department in the district and says signatures will come easy because the people already know him — and they're ready for an off-ramp. As he puts it: "The most patriotic thing you can do is call out when we're falling short of our principles." This is the latest in IA's ongoing Meet the Independent Candidate Series. Mike Thurow represents the kind of leader this show and millions of Americans have been calling for — someone with real-world experience, real accountability, and zero interest in which jersey you're wearing. If you want a firefighter in Congress, head to thurowforcongress.com to donate, volunteer, and help get him on the ballot. Signatures open in April — Wisconsin voters, your moment is coming. -WATCH video of this episode on our YouTube channel. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here.

ICE, Noem and The War on Free Elections. Ukraine Won the Olympics. Prince Andrew Arrested in England Over Epstein Ties. Hegseth, Tuberville Continue to Embrace Dumb Ideas. Spring Training a Homerun. The drumbeats of war are growing louder. In this solo episode of Independent Americans, host Paul Rieckhoff reports that President Trump has signaled the U.S. military could strike Iran within ten days — with zero congressional authorization, zero public debate, and zero accountability. Congress is rolling over, America's sons and daughters are in harm's way, and the American people deserve a vote. Meanwhile at home, Paul holds nothing back on DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who reportedly pulled a Coast Guard search-and-rescue aircraft away from a missing 21-year-old service member to prioritize a deportation flight, and on ICE's escalating cruelty — including a nine-year-old girl detained in San Antonio for eight months and the heartbreaking death of Ophelia Torres, a 16-year-old who fought cancer while her father was held by ICE. These are not statistics. Paul refuses to let their stories disappear. Pentagon Secretary Pete Hegseth's culture war rages on. Paul breaks down Hegseth's move to block military members from enrolling at Harvard, Duke, Johns Hopkins, and dozens more elite universities — followed by the VA's decision to strip veterans of their post-9/11 GI Bill benefits at those same schools. Denmark, one of America's most steadfast NATO allies, now views the U.S. as an adversary, with 60% of Danes saying so. Paul also covers Venezuela strikes without congressional approval, the staggering losses in Ukraine, and a personal word about the courage of Stephen Colbert and the growing chorus of ordinary Americans pushing back. Paul closes on something good: spring training. He was at Yankees practice in Tampa Bay this morning, where his boys got balls signed by Aaron Judge — proof that community, access, and joy are still very much alive. Episode 445 ends with a clear mission: country over party, people over politics. If you're among the 45% of Americans who call themselves independent, this is your show.

Reviving the Citizen Soldier Ethos. War Face vs Society. Remembering the Founder's Vision. Lessons Learned in Ukraine and Afghanistan. Army Ranger Adrian Bonenberger has just thrown his hat in the ring for Governor of Connecticut — as an independent. In a wide-ranging conversation with host Paul Rieckhoff, Bonenberger unveils the centerpiece of his campaign: reviving the Connecticut State Guard as a voluntary, citizen-soldier force that would decentralize defense, create meaningful service opportunities for ordinary Americans, and counter the overreach of a federal government that has increasingly turned law enforcement into a militarized tool against its own citizens. The two combat veterans pull no punches on ICE — comparing its enforcement culture to the military's "warrior ethos" and explaining why deploying a kill-or-be-killed mindset against civilians is not just dangerous, but a fundamental betrayal of the founders' vision. Bonenberger draws on his experiences training troops in Afghanistan and volunteer fighters in Ukraine to make the case that America's civil-military divide is a national security vulnerability — and that a voluntary state guard is the constitutional remedy hiding in plain sight. Bonenberger also reflects on post-industrial New England, why Congress is effectively unfixable, ballot access hurdles facing independent candidates, and why he believes the governor's office is where real change can happen on day one. About Adrian Bonenberger: Adrian Bonenberger is an Army Ranger, Afghanistan combat veteran, journalist, and author. He co-founded American Veterans for Ukraine alongside Paul Rieckhoff and Bonnie Carroll and has lectured at Springfield College in Massachusetts. He is now running for Governor of Connecticut as an independent. -WATCH video of this episode on our YouTube channel. -Learn more and support Adrian's candidacy for Governor of Connecticut here. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here.

This is a special collaboration between Independent Americans and Open Primaries, featuring two of the most compelling independent Senate candidates in the country. Todd Achilles is a former US tank commander, Idaho state representative, and tech executive now running for US Senate in Idaho. Ty Pinkins served over 20 years in the Army including three combat tours in Iraq where he earned the Bronze Star. After earning his law degree from Georgetown, he returned to the Mississippi Delta to fight for his community—and now he's running for US Senate. Both are running as independents. Both are military veterans who put country over party. And both have a strategy that goes far beyond just winning their own races. The conversation tackles the biggest questions facing independent candidates: How do you counter the "spoiler" narrative? How do you compete against unlimited party money? Why won't the media cover independent campaigns? And most importantly—what happens when you actually win? The answer to that last question is where it gets interesting. With four independent veterans running competitive Senate races in 2026 (Todd in Idaho, Ty in Mississippi, Dan Osborn in Nebraska, and Brian Bengs in South Dakota), they have the potential to create an independent "fulcrum" in the Senate—denying either party a majority and forcing both sides to negotiate with principled independents on issues like campaign finance reform, stock trading bans, and open primaries. Paul Rieckhoff, founder of Independent Veterans of America (IVA) and host of Independent Americans, explains why veterans are uniquely positioned to lead this movement: they're country-first, they understand sacrifice, and when they served, they wore America's jersey—not a red or blue one. This episode also features insights from John Opdycke, founder and president of Open Primaries, who has been fighting for election reform for decades and sees independent veterans as the breakthrough this movement needs.

In this special episode, Paul Rieckhoff reads an op-ed he co-authored with John Opdycke that challenges the narrative that independent voters don't matter. Despite new Gallup polling showing independents now represent 45% of all American voters—the highest number recorded in modern history—the political establishment continues to dismiss them as "leaners" who are really just partisans in disguise, or "spoilers" who siphon votes from legitimate candidates. Paul unpacks why this dismissive narrative persists and traces it back to Ross Perot's explosive 1992 presidential campaign, when 20 million Americans went off-script and forced both parties to pay attention. The Perot movement produced a balanced budget, the Contract with America, and Clintonian triangulation—and terrified the DC establishment in the process. Today, 10,000 Americans switch their registration from Democrat or Republican to Independent every single week. Five independents are running for U.S. Senate this fall, with over 100 independent candidates expected across all levels of government. A majority of Americans now support open primaries that allow non-party voters to participate in publicly funded elections. The independent movement isn't just growing—it's ready to lead. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

The Most Dangerous Thing Trump Can Do. Why Paul Takes Cold Showers, Coaches Youth Football and Watches FallOut From Paul: “Chuck gave me the time and space to really lay it all out. From Trump's plans for ICE and the Pentagon, to the legacy of Vietnam in politics, to what I'm building for independent vet candidates with IVA and in independent media with my show. And, we talk football, morning routines, FallOut, and if I'll ever run for office. It's smart, fast and fun. And if you dig my show, I think you'll enjoy and appreciate it.Happy weekend people!” We've got a great bonus episode for you, featuring Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff's appearance on the Chuck Toddcast. You know Paul from this show and probably cable news, but you might not know that for the past twenty years he has been one of America's most fierce advocates for veterans since founding Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. Now, as host of the Independent Americans podcast, he's mobilizing a different kind of army—independent veterans ready to run for office and reject both major parties. In this wide-ranging conversation, Chuck and Paul explore why over 50% of veterans identify as political independents, how Pete Hegseth is transforming military culture in dangerous ways, and why the Pentagon was Trump's first strategic target for a reason. They discuss the troubling parallels between ICE recruitment tactics and military messaging, the chilling effect on dissent among military retirees, and why veterans like Mark Kelly are uniquely positioned to push back. Paul breaks down his Independent Veterans of America initiative, which is recruiting 100 candidates this fall—including potential Senate runs in Nebraska, Montana, Idaho, and South Dakota. He argues that one independent veteran senator could become the most powerful member of the Senate, and explains why breaking the two-party stranglehold starts with veterans who already wore camouflage instead of red or blue. They also dig into the Vietnam generation's political scars, why no Vietnam veteran ever became president, and how the all-volunteer military has disconnected most Americans from the human cost of war. Plus: football as democracy, cold showers as discipline, and why Fallout on Amazon Prime might be the most relevant show for understanding corporate power in 2026.

School Phone Bans. School Vouchers & Home School's Dark Side. COVID's Damage to Students. Epstein & Trump's Broken Culture Where No Means Yes. Australia's Social Media Experiment. LGBTQ Kids in the Crosshairs.   These are really wild and stressful times for everyone. And if you have a child in your life, or care about kids, or just care about yourself, this is a special pod that you need to hear or watch.  Trump has been at war with the media, the Pentagon, and Democrats—but there's also been a secret war on our children. And it's been supercharged by ICE. One in four kids in American public schools has a parent who's an immigrant, and right now those children are afraid to go to school. Education Secretary Linda McMahon has gotten little scrutiny while moving forward with plans to totally dismantle the Department of Education. Meanwhile, our kids are still processing COVID trauma, navigating an unregulated tech landscape, and coping with mental health challenges, suicide risk and basic day-to-day stress that touches every family. Especially if you're a parent—and an especially if you're about to head out on winter break with them—you should check out this show and take it with you. In this vital conversation, Paul Rieckhoff sits down with Anya Kamenetz—author of The Stolen Year: How COVID Changed Children's Lives, writer of the Substack newsletter The Golden Hour, and one of America's leading voices on child well-being. They discuss the impact of ICE enforcement on school attendance, the strategic attack on public education, cell phone bans in schools, Australia's social media age restrictions, youth suicide trends, and how parents can cope while raising kids in a political combat zone. And how kids are surviving in real combat zones like Ukraine—and how we can all better cope with all that is coming at us right now.  Anya brings clarity, compassion, and actionable wisdom to one of the most underreported crises in America: the well-being of our children. From mental health first aid to collective resilience, this episode offers both a stark wake-up call and a roadmap for staying vigilant and hopeful. And it's a must for every parent in America especially.  Guest: Anya Kamenetz is an award-winning journalist, author, and thought leader on education, parenting, and child development. She is the author of multiple books including The Stolen Year, and writes The Golden Hour on Substack.

My guest this week is Kristina R. Gaddy, who returns to chat about her new book, a collaboration with Rhiannon Giddens, called Go Back and Fetch It: Recovering Early Black Music in the Americas for Fiddle and Banjo.The book picks up on the research Kristina did for her previous book Well of Souls: Uncovering the Banjo's Hidden History (you can hear our conversation about that here). Crucially though, this volume doesn't just present a series of tunes as research pieces, it includes both banjo transcriptions and standard music notation, so people can play the music and give it a place in the current repertoire.We talk about why so little music was collected from black people in the Americas (fewer than 10 songs before 1861 were collected in the United States that we definitely know are from Black musicians); why these tunes were collected and how; how the way they were collected (and who did the collecting) shaped what was gathered and much more.As always, it was fascinating talking to Kristina.You can find out more about Go Back and Fetch It (and buy the book) via the University of North Carolina Press.For more on Kristina and updates on her research, follow her on Instagram and Substack Support the show===Thanks to Bryan Sutton for his wonderful theme tune to Bluegrass Jam Along (and to Justin Moses for playing the fiddle!)

Send us a textIn this week's episode of the Thrive Solo, I'm talking to the fabulous Emily Ball, a PR business owner who shares her journey of healing and self-discovery after leaving a toxic relationship. During our conversation, Emily recounts her experiences of dealing with emotional abuse, the steps she took to reclaim her life, and how she learned to embrace and love singlehood. Our discussion highlights the importance of self-worth, the joy of solo adventures, and the misconception that singlehood equates to being incomplete. We also delve into the societal pressures that push women towards traditional milestones and emphasise the significance of living a purpose-filled life on one's own terms. Emily also talks about the peace she has found as a single woman, recognising her own value, and taking control of her own happiness.02:14 Guest Introduction: Emily's Journey04:41 Emily's Toxic Relationship: The Beginning07:32 The Downward Spiral: Ignoring Red Flags11:05 Breaking Point: Realisation and Escape24:01 Healing and Self-Discovery29:08 Finding Peace in Singlehood37:42 Rebuilding: Self-Love and Growth43:38 Finding Peace in Solitude44:12 Redefining Success46:23 Questioning Life's Milestones48:15 Embracing Singlehood50:12 Choosing Not to Have Children53:14 Living Life on Your Own Terms01:03:40 Solo Travel Adventures01:14:13 The Joy of Self-DiscoverySubscribe to Emily's Substack:  Support the showPre-Order my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/book Download my FREE PDF 'The Top 10 Answers To The Most Irritating Questions That Single People Get Asked On The Regular...& How To (Devilishly) Respond'?

How crazy is it that even in spite of being on the brink of World War III, Bitcoin is still holding over $100,000? How crazy is it that the Genius Act has passed through the US Senate and is now heading for the House of Representatives? And how crazy is AI accelerating with all the crazy stuff you can do with it? If you’re looking for crazy you’ve come to the right place. We’re going to discuss the essential stories from the crypto market and dive into the AI rabbit hole with essential tools you want to use to enhance your productivity. If we are nice to AI perhaps they’ll remember it when they decide to turn on us. Join us today and we make nice with the future overlords and get pumped about where Bitcoin could be heading on episode #779 of The Bad Crypto Podcast. Show notes Cryptocurrency News: Senate passes stablecoin bill, turning focus to House | The Block The U.S. Senate has passed the GENIUS Act, the first major federal legislation to regulate stablecoins, requiring them to be fully backed by liquid assets and imposing audit and transparency standards. The bill, which received bipartisan support, now shifts to the House for consideration and is seen as a pivotal step toward legitimizing the crypto industry and cementing U.S. dollar dominance in digital assets. Despite this progress, concerns remain over potential conflicts of interest and the adequacy of consumer protections, particularly regarding anti-money laundering and corporate issuance provisions. How to legally stake crypto in 2025: What is now allowed after the SEC’s latest move The SEC’s 2025 guidelines confirm that solo, delegated, and custodial staking directly tied to network consensus are not securities offerings. Staking rewards are treated as service compensation, not investment returns. However, yield farming and staking-like lending schemes remain regulated as securities. JPMorgan, SEC meet to discuss capital markets moving onchain JPMorgan executives met with the SEC’s Crypto Task Force to discuss the regulatory implications and potential impacts of traditional capital markets migrating to public blockchains, including how existing financial models might change and how to assess associated risks and benefits123. The discussions also covered JPMorgan’s current digital asset initiatives, such as its digital platform for repurchase agreements and the launch of its new deposit token, JPMD, on Coinbase’s Base blockchain123. JPMorgan emphasized that deposit tokens like JPMD, which are fully backed by bank deposits, offer a more scalable and institution-friendly alternative to stablecoins, with no immediate plans to launch a stablecoin themselves123. Cointelegraph joins forces with Nansen to boost crypto journalism with onchain data Cointelegraph has partnered with Nansen, a leading onchain analytics platform, to integrate real-time blockchain data and AI-powered insights into its news coverage, research, and social media content1. This collaboration aims to enhance the quality and transparency of crypto journalism by providing readers with actionable, data-driven intelligence on DeFi, Web3, and market trends1. The partnership marks a significant step toward more informed and credible reporting in the crypto industry, leveraging Nansen’s advanced analytics across Cointelegraph’s global newsroom1. Report: Justin Sun’s Tron Aims for Nasdaq Listing in High-Stakes Merger Deal Justin Sun’s Tron is set to go public on Nasdaq through a reverse merger with SRM Entertainment, a toy and merchandise company, in a deal valued up to $210 million that will see SRM rebranded as Tron Inc. and Sun serve as an advisor123. The transaction, orchestrated by Dominari Securities with close ties to the Trump family, involves SRM raising $100 million to acquire TRX tokens for its treasury, following a pause in SEC investigations into Sun34. This marks a significant move for Tron and highlights shifting U.S. regulatory attitudes toward crypto firms entering public markets through unconventional means45. The Legal Personhood of Decentralized Systems Decentralized systems like DAOs face major challenges fitting into global legal frameworks, as existing laws often treat them as general partnerships, exposing members to unlimited liability and tax risks if no formal structure is established. Several legal solutions have been proposed, such as Wyoming’s DUNA, the BORG framework, and blockchain-native governance models, but each has significant limitations and often cannot accommodate complex, real-world assets or operational needs. DUNAs, while offering a nonprofit legal wrapper, are criticized for being technology-specific and potentially allowing profit-like activities under a nonprofit label, raising regulatory and compliance concerns. Other frameworks, like BORGs and Q blockchain, are more technology-neutral but struggle with practical issues such as asset custody, compliance, and the ability to interact with traditional financial systems. The article suggests that some proposals may be motivated by large investors seeking to limit their own liability, rather than providing comprehensive solutions for the broader DAO ecosystem.

We also discuss how the intensity of managing diabetes relates to the book I'm writing, Neither/Nor, which explores the nuances between conceptual understanding and lived experience.

Sally's Bio: Hi there, I'm Sally Henry.  I am wife to Kim, mother of Sarah and Sean and grandmother of three crazy boys: Rilo, Rocco and Vito. I also have two sisters who sandwich me and I love dearly. I am a writer, pastor, musician and listener.  As an Enneagram 9, I love having people in our home, cooking for friends and family, having meaningful conversations and doing work that makes a difference.  I am an ordained Presbyterian minister, but currently work as a behavioral health care coordinator working with families who have children coming out of mental health crises. Kim and I host a house church every other week in our home, I've taken up lap swimming to be active and work out stress and therapy to keep chipping away at all those things that keep me from being truly whole. I turned 60 in 2023, and it was my best birthday yet.  I don't do “churchy talk” and I'm usually 5-7 years behind the latest trends (be they clothing, social media or catchy phrases). I believe in transparency and sharing our stories because that's how we learn from each other and grow as individuals, and I've been sharing my sh$% for a long time now. Oh, and I try to sometimes filter for the sake of others (that's the Enneagram 9 in me), but sometimes a good f-bomb is what's appropriate.  Sorry not sorry.  Help me plan future shows and have a chance to win a gift card by completing this survey!

Intro:In this episode, I spoke with Maria Bettina, a former competitive rower who became an adult media entrepreneur. She founded Freyja, a platform that combined adult content and sex education.Maria shared with me her journey and the challenges she encountered along the way. Because she ran XXX company, she faced various difficulties, including having her bank account closed, and struggled with marketing her site due to social media restrictions. But every limitation breeds creativity, and so Maria came up with a funny way to captivate the audience and promote her content across the platforms. Also … she turns her favourite social media insults into statements on mugs.Maria addressed the lack of proper content moderation, not only within adult platforms but across social media in general. And we dived into how Freyja has implemented effective moderation practices.Moreover, Maria emphasises the significance of sex education and porn literacy. And we spoke about who bears responsibility for creating a safer and more inclusive industry for both insiders and consumers.If you enjoy it, share it with your friends or on social media, and don't forget to tag: @redcheeksnoshameEpisode Navigation:00:01:00 Watching porn 00:05:30 Social media banns and influencers marketing 00:20:50 Harmful regulations00:26:16 Starting a site with adult content 00:32:00 Overcoming issues with banking 00:36:10 Ethical porn and verification system 00:46:30 Licensing content vs content being uploaded 00:50:20 Age verification 00:57:30 Values 00:59:20 Student-teacher porn01:13:30 Reporting content Links:Freya Education Maria's Substack Support the showJoin RedCheeks Academy to learn about ethical production of intimate scenes.
