Immigration Smokescreen: Masking Trump's War on the Poor.

The Trump administration has declared war on immigrants and poor people and is using immigration as a smokescreen to cover for Medicaid cuts in the so-called Big Beautiful Bill. Henchmen like Stephen Miller and Scott Bessent are promoting the false narrative that “illegal” immigrants are receiving Medicaid coverage and responsible for much of the fraud and abuse in the system. It’s a specious argument to distract from the fact that they’re cutting healthcare for millions of vulnerable Americans. Access the episode resources.

Jeden Tag sterben acht Menschen im Straßenverkehr. Und doch liest man in der Zeitung meistens: "LKW übersieht Radfahrerin." Als wäre es ein Schicksalsschlag. Es ist so, als hätte niemand gehandelt. Es scheint so, als würde sich niemand verantwortlich fühlen. In dieser Folge von She Drives Mobility spreche ich mit einem ganz besonderen Team hinter dem Projekt Sprachkompass. Das ist ein interdisziplinärer Forschungsprojekts, das zeigt, wie Sprache unser Denken, unsere Stadtplanung und letztlich unser (Nicht-)Handeln beeinflusst. Wer spricht – und warum das wichtig ist: Felix Schindler, ein Journalist aus der Schweiz, hat sich mal die Routinen der Medien vorgenommen. "Ich habe selbst jahrelang solche Kurzmeldungen redigiert – ohne zu hinterfragen, wie entmenschlichend die Formulierungen sind. Erst als Vater habe ich gespürt: Diese Sprache macht etwas mit unserer Wahrnehmung von Sicherheit." „Wenn ein LKW plötzlich 'übersieht', wird Verantwortung sprachlich ausradiert.“ „Solche Formulierungen wie 'wurde erfasst' klingen technisch, aber sie entlasten – und das unbewusst." Andrea J. Dech, Sprachwissenschaftlerin aus Wien, zeigt, wie Worte unser Weltbild prägen: "Wenn wir von "Unfällen" oder "übersehenen Personen" sprechen, machen wir Täter zu Opfern und die Opfer zu bloßen Randnotizen. Sprache reproduziert Gewalt, oft ungewollt." „Sprache ist kein neutrales Werkzeug – sie ist ein Verstärker von Machtverhältnissen.“ „Wer passiv formuliert, schützt Strukturen – nicht Menschen.“ „Wenn Medien von ‚Verkehrsteilnehmenden‘ sprechen, verwischt das, wer gefährdet – und wer gefährlich ist.“ Dirk Schneidemesser, Mobilitätsforscher vom RIFS Potsdam, bringt es auf den Punkt: "Ein Auto kann niemanden 'erfassen'. Das machen Menschen. Aber wenn wir solche Formulierungen ständig lesen, verschwinden Verantwortung und Strukturprobleme aus dem Fokus." „Verkehr ist kein Naturereignis – und Gewalt auf der Straße ist keine unvermeidbare Folge.“ „Der Sprachkompass zeigt: Wer klar benennt, kann auch klar verändern.“ „Sprache entscheidet mit, ob wir ein Opfer betrauern – oder Ursachen beseitigen.“ In dieser Folge lernst du Folgendes: Sprache ist nie neutral. Sie beeinflusst, wie wir Schuld, Verantwortung und Systemfehler einordnen. Oft stehen in Texten Opfer im Fokus, während die Täter verschleiert werden. Das liegt daran, dass die Polizei- und Medienlogik so funktioniert. Es werden vor allem passive Formulierungen verwendet: "Radfahrerin geriet unter LKW", "Kind wurde erfasst" – der Mensch hinter dem Lenkrad bleibt unsichtbar. Die Zahlen sprechen für sich: In 69 % der Texte, die untersucht wurden, wurden passive Formulierungen verwendet. In 95 % der Fälle fehlt jede statistische Kontextualisierung. Die Sprache ist fünfmal öfter entlastend für Autofahrer:innen als für Fußgänger:innen oder Radfahrer:innen. Es geht nicht darum, irgendjemandem die Schuld zu geben, sondern darum, die Dinge richtig zu beschreiben – also die Ursachen, die Beteiligten und den Kontext. Der Sprachkompass zeigt: Wenn sich die Sprache ändert, kann sich auch das System ändern. Warum du diese Folge hören solltest: Weil sie dir zeigt, wie Gewalt systematisch unsichtbar gemacht wird – und wie wir durch bewusste Sprache echte Veränderung anstoßen können. Denn: Was wir nicht benennen, das können wir nicht bekämpfen.

One of my all-time favorite things to talk about? PROTEIN!It's no secret that most people don't eat enough of it - it takes more intention and planning, and isn't something most people are snacking on.While protein is essential and gets a LOT of hype these days, it's not the whole story when it comes to your nutrition. Carbs and fats matter, too!It's super common to see women crushing their protein goals and workouts, but completely ignoring carbs and fats. Honestly, you NEED all 3 macronutrients (proteins, fats, AND carbs). When all 3 macros are dialed in, everything clicks. I've experienced it on my own journey, and it's freaking amazing! If you've been feeling stuck, or like your body isn't reflecting all the hard work you're putting in, it's time to check in on your carbs and fats. Don't fall into the trap of just doing “more” - fueling your body correctly can truly change the game + bring you sustainable results on your fitness journey!In this episode, we cover:Why you're crushing protein & workouts, but missing the mark with carbs & fatsWhy protein gets ALL the hype + why it mattersWhy carbs are NOT the enemy + why you need themWhy fats are essential for your health and resultsWhat happens when you dial in ALL 3 macrosWhy fueling your body matters more than just “doing more”Links/Resources:Join FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

Today we’re diving into one of the most contentious tax battles happening in Washington right now—the State and Local Tax deduction (SALT). Now, if you’ve been hearing politicians talk about “tax relief for hard-working homeowners” or “supporting middle-class families,” you might think this sounds pretty good, right? But here’s the thing— like so many tax policies that sound great on the surface, the SALT deduction is actually one of the most regressive tax breaks in our entire system. We’re talking about a policy that overwhelmingly benefits wealthy households while doing absolutely nothing for the majority of Americans. And right now, Congress is debating whether to make this tax break even more generous. Resources Brookings: The SALT tax deduction is a handout to the rich. It should be eliminated not expanded CNBC: Trump’s ‘big beautiful bill’ passes SALT deduction limit of $40,000.

Wir analysieren, warum Unternehmen stagnieren und die strukturelle Unfähigkeit zur Anpassung ein zentrales Problem darstellt. Das berühmte Zitat „Der größte Feind des Erfolges von morgen ist der Erfolg von gestern“ verdeutlicht, dass ein veraltetes Denken die Transformation behindert.

Most of us are walking around with some version of it, whether we say it out loud or not.This episode was sparked by a conversation with my client Julie (who's been KILLIN' IT), and a reel that broke me wide open (the creator is linked below).

Honestly…the obsession with numbers can completely derail the whole point of your workout.Here's the truth: lifting heavy is relative.

It's about showing up with intensity, and moving with intention!Progressive overload is a helpful concept, but…it's also kind of gotten out of hand.

Im August 1997 stoßen in einer Baustelle auf der A2 bei Hannover zwei Lastwagen frontal zusammen. Einer der Fahrer hat die Kontrolle über seinen Sattelzug verloren, die Mittelschutzplanke durchbrochen und ist mit dem Lkw in den Gegenverkehr gerast. Die Wucht ist so groß, dass die Kabinen in- und übereinander gedrückt werden. Die Fahrer werden eingeklemmt. Dirk Sassmann von der Freiwilligen Feuerwehr Rodenberg hat gerade Feierabend, als er alarmiert wird. Aufgrund der Nähe zur Autobahn wird seine Feuerwehr häufig zu schweren Unfällen gerufen. Doch dieser Lkw-Crash ist besonders. Mit Theresa und Torben spricht Dirk über die stundenlange, kräftezehrende Rettung der Verletzten, warum der Einsatz auch fast 30 Jahre später noch präsent ist und was sich seit dem getan hat. Die neuesten Folgen des NDR Feuerwehr-Podcasts gibt es immer zuerst in der ARD Audiothek. https://1.ard.de/meineinsatz10 NDR Reporter Torben Hildebrandt und Feuerwehrfrau Theresa Balzer empfangen Feuerwehr-Aktive, die von ihren prägendsten Erlebnissen erzählen.

⭐️Grab Marina's 3 course bundle (This contains an affliate link).This week on UnF*ck Your Money, I sit down with Somatic Coach Marina Triner to talk about the real path to nervous system healing, especially when it comes to money, self-worth, and fear. Marina breaks down why mindset work can keep us stuck in cycles of self-blame—and how somatic healing creates a more compassionate and effective path forward. We explore how financial triggers show up, why your body responds before your brain, and how inner child work is a key to rewiring your relationship with money. If your brain constantly looks for danger (especially around money), this episode is for you.4 Key Takeaways:Somatic healing meets you where mindset work leaves off– Instead of forcing affirmations, somatic work helps you build safety in the body so that real transformation can happen.Triggers are signals, not problems– We explore how both internal and external triggers are messages from your nervous system—not evidence that you're broken.You can't mindset your way out of complex trauma– Marina shares how somatic practices help regulate responses when you feel powerless or panicked, especially around money.Inner child healing is essential to financial freedom– Reconnecting with and reparenting younger parts helps shift the guilt, fear, or unworthiness that silently drives your money habits.⭐️Grab Marina's 3 course bundle (This contains an affliate link).Listen to my first episode with Marina here Marina is a renowned somatic coach, and has supported thousands to move through stuckness, unleash their power, and step into unprecedented visionary success in their relationships, careers and life through profoundly transformative body-based approaches that go to the deep roots: addressing triggers, emotional healing and nervous system regulation. She has mentored thousands of clients through her coaching, online courses, and live programs. Connect with Marina:IG: https://www.instagram.com/marina.y.t/⭐️Grab Marina's 3 course bundle (This contains an affliate link).⭐️Join my FREE Money Course- 5 Days of Money Magic here: https://www.saveamillioncents.com/freecourse ⭐️Check out my 1:1 Money Magic Mentorship Program here.

Mamdani’s candidacy has galvanized the national media in a way that a local primary race has rarely ever done. CNN, MSNBC, Zeteo, Hasan Piker, MeidasTouch, Pod Save America, The Breakfast Club, Bulwark Podcast and, of course, UNFTR (ahem) have all featured Mamdani. In some ways, he might be even more popular as a national political figure among leftists than he is among New York City voters. We’ll find out in a matter of days.

Trump is touting his new “Trump Accounts” plan as part of the Big Beautiful Bill Act. The plan would provide $1,000 to every baby born in America between 2025 and 2029 in a tax deferred account that allows matching each year of up to $5,000. It’s a way to encourage savings at a young age and works similar to the successful 529 education funds, but there are key differences. Today we dissect the plan and reveal how it’s mostly political theater. It’s another giveaway to Wall Street that increases inequality because of the way it’s structured. But there’s another reason why the GOP is so keen to pass this plan that has nothing to do with making babies rich, and everything to do with erasing entitlements. Access the episode resources.

When award-winning science writer Amy Alkon was blindsided by her first hot flash, it kicked off a cascade of symptoms—drenching night sweats, insomnia, and a rage she couldn't explain. But what shocked her more was how little real science her doctor had to offer. In this episode, Alkon shares what she uncovered in her deep dive into the research on menopause and perimenopause—the critical yet often neglected years leading up to menopause when millions of women are misdiagnosed, dismissed, or simply told to “wait it out.” Drawing from her new book Going Menopostal, she explains why so much medical advice is still based on outdated or inadequate evidence, and what women can do about it. Alkon breaks down complex science with clarity, humor, and a healthy dose of skepticism, giving listeners the tools they need to ask better questions, advocate for themselves, and get the care they deserve. Whether you're in the thick of it or simply want to be prepared, or want to support your loved ones going through menopause, this episode will leave you informed, empowered, and maybe even laughing. Amy Alkon is an independent investigative science writer specializing in “applied science”—using scientific evidence to solve real-world problems. Alkon critically evaluates and synthesizes research across disciplines and then translates it into everyday language, empowering regular people to make scientifically informed decisions for the best of their health and well-being. For 25 years, Alkon wrote an award-winning, science-based nationally syndicated advice column, distributed by Creators. She is the author of five books—most recently, her “science-help” book Unf*ckology: How to Live with Guts and Confidence (St. Martin's Press, 2018). She is the past President of the Applied Evolutionary Psychology Society, which brings evolutionary science to public policy, education, and medicine. Her new book is Going Menopostal: What You (And Your Doctor) Need to Know About the Real Science of Menopause and Perimenopause.

For years, I had ZERO clue what I was doing, because I was following someone else's definition of what I thought I “should” be doing.Now? Fitness for me means feeling STRONG over being skinny. It means knowing when to rest without guilt, and having the clarity and confidence to listen to my body!Think about - what does being “fit” feel like for you, and what do you want your body to be able to do?

All of this calls into question the limits of presidential authority in domestic civil disturbances and whether Posse Comitatus is still the law of the land.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the United States added 139,000 “non-farm payroll jobs” in the month of May, 2025. These figures came in close to what experts projected and depending upon one’s ideological perspective, it was either evidence of economic strength and resilience under Trump or a sign of a slowing job market as a result of Trump’s tariff policies and economic uncertainty. What the mainstream media didn’t cover as much were the prior month revisions, or how the demographic shifts are artificially boosting labor participation numbers. With an economic slowdown on the horizon, AI already taking entry-level jobs, recent graduates having trouble finding employment, a quarter of the population participating in the gig economy and an aging population, there is trouble brewing.

We’re experimenting with something. As we work toward a complete breakdown of the federal budget in a comprehensive essay and companion episode, we’re bringing our audience into the content creation process. We have a feeling this is going to be one of our behemoth entries into the canon (and potentially a two-parter.) So rather than overwhelm everyone with information in one shot, we thought it would be useful to break it apart as we go. The first two entries made it to YouTube already but I’m packaging them up in a single episode today. The first is how the GOP budget disproportionately impacts red states. And not in a good way. The second brings us back to our Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) discussions and reframes the way we think about the national debt. Both are crucial building blocks in our understanding of the federal budget. Access the episode resources.

Let's talk about a question I hear a lot: “Am I training hard enough?”The answer? Probably not…especially if you're not seeing the results you're working for (i.e. if your goal is body recomp)!This isn't about being extreme or living in the gym, BUT…if you're just moving your body without a plan and calling it “training,” you're definitely selling yourself short!Your body adapts to what you consistently do. If you want change, you've GOTTA challenge it (I love using RPE as a tool to do just that). No more winging it, sticking with the same 10 lb. dumbbells for several months, or walking out of your workout with energy to spare!This episode is your no-BS wake-up call to stop going through the motions and start showing TF UP with purpose. If you're stuck in a plateau, questioning your workouts, or wondering why you're not seeing changes, it's time to do something different!!In this episode, we cover:The REAL difference between moving your body & training with purposeSigns that you're not training hard enoughUsing RPE (rate of perceived exertion) to check in & push your limitsHow you can progress your weightlifting over timeLinks/Resources:Join IT GIRL Community Membership Join FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

How much credit risk is in the market? Equities get the headlines but the world runs on credit. Jamie Dimon recently declared that credit was a “bad risk” on the heels of Moody’s downgrading the U.S. credit rating and a spike in the 10 Year Treasury yield. Suddenly, the boring old credit and bond markets are all the rage on the financial news channels, and it goes much deeper than treasuries. Today’s episode examines the scope of the global credit market and unpacks the difference between the systemic threat posed in the global financial crisis (GFC) and the looming credit crisis today. And, it shows how the big corporations prepared for the gathering storm by rewriting the rules of the game after the GFC. The big guys are fairly insulated from any sort of looming credit shock, but the rest of us are pretty much toast. Access the episode resources.

Pete Buttigieg is a legitimate star in the Democratic Party. Having moved his family to Michigan there was speculation that he might run for the governor’s office or become a Senator. But he turned down both options and instead set his sights on the 2028 Presidential election. In addition to making the rounds on multiple cable shows and podcasts to help rehabilitate the image of the Democratic Party, he recently held a massive town hall in Iowa, where he was victorious in the 2020 Caucus. But who is Pete Buttigieg and why do so many people consider him a frontrunner for the Democratic ticket in ‘28? His experience as a small city mayor and single term as Transportation Secretary in the Biden Administration would still make him one of the least experienced candidates in U.S. history. So why all the attention?

Corporations announced a staggering $233.8 billion in stock buybacks in April, the second-highest monthly total ever recorded. But unlike previous buyback bonanzas, this isn’t a sign of economic strength or corporate confidence. Quite the opposite. Are buybacks just one big shell game or are they fiscally prudent? Corporate stock buybacks have inspired great debate since a Reagan era tax law change and a Clinton era deal sweetener. On the one hand they have enriched shareholders and made executives extremely wealthy. On the other hand, the growth in buybacks mean companies aren’t investing in innovation, workers, or expansion.
