//The Wire//2300Z January 22, 2026////ROUTINE////BLUF: ICE OPERATIONS CONTINUE IN MAINE. THREE ARRESTS MADE IN MINNEAPOLIS REGARDING CITIES CHURCH INCIDENT. SEVERE WEATHER SYSTEM EXPECTED TO SWEEP THROUGH AMERICAN SOUTHEAST THIS WEEKEND.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-Maine: DHS surge operations continue, with arrests being noted in Portland and Lewiston. This campaign has been dubbed "Operation Catch-Of-The-Day", and seeks to target known violent criminals throughout the state.Analyst Comment: So far, resistance to ICE is minimal, with most of the efforts to harass ICE not taking form as they have in Minneapolis. None of the madness of Minneapolis has carried over to Maine as of yet, and the arrest of extremely violent criminals is going smoothly so far. However, this should be expected to increase over time as various activist groups transition into the active resistance phases throughout the area.Minneapolis: Overnight, several bomb threats were made at various locations around the city. Locals report that emails alleging the emplacement of pipe bombs were sent to several hotels, as well as the Federal Courthouse downtown. After some time, all threats were confirmed to be unfounded.Following up on the raid at Cities Church which took place four days ago, three arrests have been made in conjunction with the investigation. William Kelly, Nekima Levy Armstrong, and Chauntyll Louisa Allen have been arrested for violations of the FACE Act.Analyst Comment: Considering that these are the first arrests made during this high-profile incident, it's likely that these arrests will be used to fuel more demonstrations. Right now, the other agitators have not been arrested, so the Key Leadership that helped plan the initial raid is still free to plan other raids this Sunday.Southeastern USA: A severe winter weather system is forecasted to arrive this weekend, bringing unseasonably heavy ice and snowfall for much of the American southeast. Upwards of 12 inches of snow and potentially several inches of ice are called for as the weather system descends on the region.Analyst Comment: This much snow and ice in a region that typically doesn't get much at all, has a tendency to break things. If these forecasts are accurate, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime winter weather event that has the potential to severely impact public infrastructure in many areas.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Over the past few days, a new demographic of agitator has been noted interfering with ICE operations...postal workers. Around the nation, several postal workers have been observed harassing ICE agents while on the job this week, in official USPS vehicles while actively working a shift. In once case, a USPS worker recording ICE agents shouted at them that he had immunity from arrest, because he was a federal employee. This is obviously not true; being a mailman does not grant any sort of immunity from arrest at all, however this is clearly what many mail carriers who deliver our ballots seem to think.In Minneapolis specifically, last month the Democratic Socialists of America (a far-left political militant organization) held self-described Communist Revolutionary protests for federal postal workers, on federal property. Postal workers at the Powderhorn and Lake Street Post Offices were upset that federal agents had used their parking lots to stage for immigration enforcement operations. As a result the DSA helped them to organize protests at their own federal facilities, which are becoming increasingly more active strongholds.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2undergroundDisclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report.//END REPORT//

TikTok Shop just tightened the screws on shipping—and a lot of brands are panicking. In this video (recorded January 22, 2026), I break down what TikTok's “Logistics Services” push actually means, what it doesn't mean, and why this is good news for real operators.The headline: TikTok is moving toward being the source of truth for labels + tracking (Amazon-style standards), which helps purge bad actors and clears the field for serious brands. TikTok has already been rolling out shipping policy upgrades (including requiring certain labels—like USPS—to be generated via TikTok Shipping). I'm Jordan West—former BC Ambulance paramedic turned entrepreneur. I've built 8 brands, 2 agencies, a software company, and a restaurant. Today, I help brands win on TikTok Shop and social commerce with systems that scale.In this episode, you'll learn:✅ What “TikTok Shop Logistics Services” really is (the data layer, not “fire your 3PL”)✅ The timeline brands should pay attention to (and how to plan for it)✅ 3 paths forward: label switch, middleware integration, and hybrid FBT✅ Why this change raises the barrier to entry—and helps serious brands win✅ A simple checklist to stay compliant and keep shipping on timeIf you're a serious operator, this is noise—not a threat.

In this episode, we break down new data revealing that organized crime rings are keeping cargo theft levels near record highs across North America. We discuss how these sophisticated groups are increasingly targeting rail corridors and exploiting security gaps during freight handoffs. Next, we look at the Postal Service's bold strategy to transform its last-mile network by requiring retailers to bid for delivery space. Postmaster General David Steiner hopes this premium product approach will generate billions in revenue to help offset recent financial losses. Finally, the Port of Long Beach is preparing for a massive cargo surge with plans to double container volume to 20 million units by 2050. Officials are fast-tracking nearly $2 billion in rail projects to triple capacity and turn the Southern California hub into a zero-emissions powerhouse.

For 35-year-old Crystal Rogers, nothing was more important than her family - her parents, her four kids, and her long-term boyfriend, Brooks. So on July 4th weekend, 2015, when all of these people realized that none of them had heard from her in days, panic ensued. Her car was soon found abandoned on the side of the highway.

Host Rob Couture opens the first episode of 2026 with VFW leaders for an in-depth discussion on veteran policy priorities and emerging national security issues.  The episode centers on the Major Richard Star Act, breaking down why the bill was left out of the National Defense Authorization Act, clarifying misconceptions about cost and jurisdiction, and explaining why the Armed Services Committees play a critical role in advancing the legislation. The panel outlines the VFW's updated advocacy strategy and how members can help push the bill forward through targeted engagement and calls for congressional hearings. The discussion also highlights key provisions of the FY26 National Defense Authorization Act, including pay raises, quality-of-life protections, blast exposure oversight, and moral injury research, while noting advocacy priorities that remain unfinished. Additional segments address concerns over proposed VA disability rating schedule revisions, a major legal development involving claims sharks, and a recent U.S. Postal Service policy change that could impact veterans submitting benefit claims by mail. The episode closes with reflections on the recent U.S. military operation in Venezuela, recognition of newly eligible combat veterans, and reminders of the VFW's ongoing commitment to protecting veterans' earned benefits and honoring continued service.

On this unscripted Wednesday morning edition of Right On Radio Live (Jan 14, 2026), host Jeff is joined by returning guest John Brisson for a wide-ranging conversation that mixes scripture, geopolitics, and spiritual counsel. The episode opens with "Word on Word," comparing 1 John 4:20–21 and Proverbs 22:4 and setting a theme of love, humility, and Christian conduct for the show. Jeff and John review listener reactions, then pivot into foreign policy: an extended discussion about U.S. pressure on Cuba, Iran, and Canada—arguing that tariffs and economic choke points can be used to "starve" populations into uprisings. They debate the ethics and pragmatics of regime change, express anti-war reservations, and weigh whether nonmilitary methods (à la recent actions in Venezuela) could remove oppressive regimes without bloodshed. The hosts analyze Donald Trump's current strategy and influence: Panama Canal and Venezuelan actions, pressure on global choke points, the prospect of Greenland and missile-defense priorities, Space Force and satellite-to-satellite warfare, and the upcoming Davos address. They discuss signals suggesting a bold 2026 for Trump (including talk of a “golden age”), market manipulations, cabinet and policy moves (credit-card rules, housing and tariff plans), and possible legal and political flashpoints such as contempt or Supreme Court rulings. Another major strand: evidence of pro-Trump messaging inside government accounts. Jeff and John point to Q-style posts allegedly appearing in the Department of Labor, USPS, and other places, and reflect on the psychological and information-warfare environment—bots, paid influencers, and rapid false narratives that make discernment difficult. They connect these developments to biblical prophecy concerns (Antichrist language, Daniel references) and the idea that some political solutions may pave the way for darker systems disguised as peace. Throughout the episode the hosts return to pastoral counsel: spiritual warfare is real, believers must pray for discernment, and Christian virtues—love, humility, and fear of the Lord—remain the anchor amid political chaos. They encourage listeners to join a corporate prayer call, read scripture, and approach current events with both sober vigilance and hope rooted in eternal promises. Guest: John Brisson. Key takeaways include the two guiding scriptures for daily life, the contested morality of economic pressure as foreign policy, signs to watch in 2026 (political boldness, legal battles, and global maneuvers), the rise of coordinated pro‑Trump messaging inside institutions, and repeated exhortations to prayer, community, and Scripture as the primary resources for believers facing turbulent times.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Adam Morgan discuss Adam's new book, A Danger to the Minds of Young Girls, which explores the life and legacy of Margaret C. Anderson. Margaret was a pioneering figure in modern literature, the founder of "The Little Review" in Chicago, and one of the key figures in fostering the Chicago literary renaissance. They talk about the challenges she faced, despite her initial successes, why her physical appearance often overshadowed her contributions, and the impact on young girls today that Margaret also faced during her time.     Key Takeaways: "The Little Review" served as a platform for uncensored conversations about literature and art, including experimental works that were often undiscovered during her time. The Comstock Act was a group of federal laws that banned the mailing of "obscene materials" and was upheld, in part, through censorship at what is now the USPS. This resulted in many copies of "The Little Review" being burned or otherwise destroyed before they could arrive at their subscribers. We are seeing the same rhetoric used by conservative lawmakers today that was used in the early 20th century against Margaret Anderson, despite no evidence to support it. They argued that if young girls read "obscene literature," they would turn to a life of immorality, prostitution, or partner with people not approved of by their parents.   "She was not a saint, but there were a lot of things to admire about her courage and her sense of agency." —  Adam Morgan   Connect with Adam Morgan: Professional Bio: https://adam-stephen-morgan.com/  Twitter: https://x.com/adamm0rgan  Book: https://adam-stephen-morgan.com/a-danger-to-the-minds-of-young-girls/  Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/thefrontlist.org  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adamm0rgan    Connect with Therese: Website:  www.criticallyspeaking.net Bluesky: @CriticallySpeaking.bsky.social Instagram: @criticallyspeakingpodcast Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

In this episode of the Daily, FreightWaves investigates a startling report on national security, detailing Dragon in the Cab: How China Quietly Embedded Itself in American Trucking. We discuss the growing concerns regarding unvetted drivers hauling military freight and the specific vulnerabilities found within U.S. port infrastructure. In major corporate news, we cover the return of a legacy fleet to private domestic ownership as Former, current USA Truck execs acquire TL carrier from DSV. Conversely, we analyze a severe financial crisis in the last-mile sector, looking at the factors behind Last mile provider FAST Group's post-merger meltdown. The industry's financial volatility is further highlighted by the news that STG Logistics files Chapter 11, charts path forward. We also touch on regulatory and labor enforcement, including a whistleblower victory where a Texas carrier ordered to pay more than $100K to fired driver and a security-related contract cancellation where USPS insourcing forces Denver contractor to layoff 700 workers. Finally, we examine critical economic indicators showing a shift in supply chain strategies as Warehouses empty in December. This segment explores how historic lows in inventory levels may force shippers back into a reactive, just-in-time operating environment for the year ahead.

In this episode of the FreightWaves Morning Minute, we discuss how the 2026 AV bill a game changer for heavy trucking aims to replace a patchwork of state regulations with a unified federal framework for autonomous vehicles. The legislation would allow driverless, cab-less trucks to move from testing tracks to interstate commerce, marking a major shift for the industry. The new year has started on a rough note, as Layoffs, bankruptcies batter U.S. logistics and manufacturing at start of 2026 with over 2,200 workers losing their jobs in just the first few weeks. Rising operating costs and shrinking demand have forced widespread restructuring and Chapter 11 filings across the supply chain sector. Finally, we look at why Prolonged post office closures focus of House bill, forcing the USPS to create a transparent database for service suspensions.

Have you ever watched a movie that just stuck with you? Whether it was so bad you could not get it out of your mind or so good, you feel it is your job to share it with the world, it just sticks with you? Well Nicole watched one over the weekend called “A House of Dynamite” that stuck with her in the “this could really happen” kind of way and she and Dan talk about the movie and the director, Kathryn Bigelow. A thief made off with two musical instruments from a store over the holidays but returned them with a note. The note really is one for the books and Dan reads it verbatim to Nicole. A marketing opportunity is mentioned. The USPS has a new rule about postmarks as of 1.1.2026 so everybody better pay attention, especially if you mail anything that needs to be postmarked by a certain date (rent, ballot, taxes etc). It is not being talked about a lot and we think it is important to know. We also talk about the country that is the very first to eliminate its post office. Does anything really need to be mailed these days?? Lastly Dan shares that the “Oscars of the Adult Film World” are being held in Las Vegas this month and you will not even believe where they are holding them. This kicks off a whole slew of puns that you have to hear to really get the full impact.  Thanks for checking out episode 128!

Top Stories for January 1st Publish Date: January 1st From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, January 1st and Happy birthday to Verne Troyer I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Meet Aloka, the peace dog winning hearts nationwide during Walk for Peace Gwinnettians urged to 'treecycle' their live Christmas trees $100K in Pokémon cards stolen from Carrollton shop Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on breads All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Sugar Hill Ice Skating Rink STORY 1: Meet Aloka, the peace dog winning hearts nationwide during Walk for Peace If you’ve ever seen a serene dog strolling alongside Buddhist monks—sometimes dressed better than the humans—you’ve probably met Aloka, the Peace Dog. Aloka isn’t flashy. He doesn’t bark for attention or demand the spotlight. But somehow, he’s become the quiet soul of the Walk for Peace, embodying everything it stands for. He walks when he can, rides when he’s tired, and never strays from the monks’ side. Once a stray in India, Aloka chose this life. Literally. He started following the monks during a peace walk years ago and never stopped. Now, he’s trekking across the U.S., his calm presence lifting spirits and drawing fans online. Despite the growing attention, Aloka stays grounded. He’s shy with fans, content to rest his paws in the grass or wait patiently for the next step. He doesn’t need words or signs to make his point. Aloka just shows up, step after step, proving that quiet compassion can be the loudest message of all. STORY 2: Gwinnettians urged to 'treecycle' their live Christmas trees Christmas 2025 is officially in the rearview mirror, and if you went with a live tree this year, you’re probably staring at it now, wondering, “What the heck do I do with this thing?” Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful has your answer: “Treecycle” it. Yep, their annual Bring One for the Chipper program is back, and they’re asking families to drop off their used live trees at participating fire stations by Jan. 21, 2026. The trees will be chipped into mulch for parks and public spaces—because why let a perfectly good tree go to waste? The big chipping event happens Jan. 24 at Bethesda Park in Lawrenceville, and volunteers are needed. Want to help? You’ve got to be at least 14, and you can sign up through Volunteer Gwinnett. Oh, and a quick heads-up: no lights, tinsel, ornaments, or stands—just the tree, bare and ready for its second act. Questions? Call 770-822-5187 or email gwinnettcb@gwinnettcb.org. STORY 3: $100K in Pokémon cards stolen from Carrollton shop Christmas Eve took a sour turn for Tag Collects, a local trading card shop, when a thief smashed their way in and made off with over $100,000 in rare Pokémon cards and sealed merchandise. Co-owner Tommy Brown got the alert early that morning—someone had hurled a tow hitch ball through the front door. In under two minutes, the thief grabbed rare gems like the coveted Umbreon “Moonbreon” card (worth $3,000) and Gold Star Rayquazas, valued at $14,000 combined. Sealed boxes, some worth up to $12,000 each, were also taken. The store has launched a GoFundMe to cover repairs and payroll, while Carrollton police are asking anyone with tips to come forward. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Kia Mall of Georgia STORY 4: Is New Year's Day a federal holiday? Here's what's open and closed The first day of 2026 is here, and while it’s a holiday for many, it might throw a wrench in your plans if you’re trying to run errands or grab last-minute essentials. Here’s the deal: Walmart? Open. Target? Open. Costco? Nope, closed. Same for Aldi and Trader Joe’s. Whole Foods? Modified hours. CVS and Walgreens? Open, but check for reduced pharmacy hours. Mail? Forget it—USPS, UPS, and FedEx are all taking the day off. Banks and government offices? Closed too. Moral of the story? Plan ahead. STORY 5: Wesleyan Grad Eva Garabadian Earns Auburn Basketball Spot in Open Tryout Eva Garabadian thought basketball was behind her. Done. She’d moved on. A former three-sport star at Wesleyan—basketball, lacrosse, softball—she started her college hoops career at Georgia College and State University, a Division II school. One season, 16 games off the bench. Then she transferred to Auburn, not for sports, but for life. Basketball? That chapter was closed. She played pickup games, joined Auburn’s club lacrosse team, and settled into her new normal. Until October. A random Instagram post about walk-on tryouts flipped everything. Two weeks later, she was at Neville Arena, trying out. No nerves, just drills she’d done a hundred times. Worst case? She’d go back to her regular life. Best case? A dream she thought was over might come back. And it did. A text from Auburn’s new head coach, Larry Vickers, sealed it: she made the team. Now, she’s an SEC basketball player. From Division II to SEC, from thinking it was over to living the dream again—Eva’s story is proof that sometimes, life gives you a second chance when you least expect it. FALCONS: The Falcons’ season, a rollercoaster of confusion and chaos, somehow got even weirder Monday night. Already eliminated from playoff contention weeks ago, Atlanta (7-9) pulled off a dramatic 27-24 win over the Rams, their third straight victory in a season that’s been equal parts frustrating and baffling. Zane Gonzalez nailed a 51-yard field goal with 21 seconds left, capping a game where Atlanta blew a 21-point lead but still managed to hang on. It’s been that kind of year—beating Super Bowl contenders like Buffalo and L.A., but losing to teams like the Jets and Panthers. Go figure. Bijan Robinson was unstoppable, racking up 195 rushing yards, two touchdowns, and a highlight-reel 93-yard run that left jaws on the floor. Rookie safety Xavier Watts continued his breakout season with two interceptions, tying Deion Sanders’ rookie record for Atlanta. But let’s not sugarcoat it—this season’s been a mess. Special teams? A disaster, with yet another blocked field goal returned for a touchdown. The Cousins signing? A head-scratcher. And yet, somehow, the Falcons are ending the year on a high note, showing flashes of the potential fans expected back in August. For now, though, they’ll be watching the playoffs from the couch—again.

Episode 75:  In this episode, Timalyn covers how changes to the United States Postal Service (USPS) postmark rule can affect taxpayers when communicating with the IRS. She also wishes her listeners a Happy New Year.What is the USPS Postmark Rule?The USPS postmark rule determines when a piece of mail is marked as received. A lot of companies and agencies use this rule to figure out if information was turned into them timely. Medicaid, IRS, and the government counting absentee ballots are just a few examples.What is the old USPS Postmark Rule?Prior to December 24th, 2025 mail was postmarked with the date that it was dropped off at the process. This is the reason for long lines on days such as April 15th, the tax deadline. Those in line wanted to ensure that their mail was marked by that day so that it would not be considered late. What is the new USPS Postmark Rule?Effective December 24th, 2025 the USPS is no longer postmarking mail the day it reaches the post office. Instead the new postmark date will reflect when it is first processed at a regional center. This could be a day or two later. Which could impact the deadline not only for those paying bills or voting by mail, but taxpayers who still use the mail system to file and pay their Federal, state, and local taxes. What is the IRS Mailbox Rule?The IRS considers the postmark date to be the legal date that the taxpayer filed their return. This is the same for payments made by mail. For example, if a payment is made on April 15th for quarter 1 estimates it is considered on time. However, if it is postmarked April 16th it is considered late. The new USPS postmark rule could cause some taxpayers to be penalized for late filing or payment even if they did make it to the post office by the actual deadline. How to Get a Timely PostmarkTimalyn recommends that anytime a taxpayer mails something to the IRS or any other tax agency that they send it by certified mail. The green receipt has helped her many times when proving to the IRS that client documentation was sent timely. Another recommendation is, if at all possible, to use the taxpayer upload tools available through IRS.gov. If you are working with a professional who is representing you before the IRS they can also submit these documents by phone via Fax. Need Tax Help Now?If you need answers to your tax debt questions, book a consultation with Timalyn via her Bowens Tax Solutions website.  Click this link to book a call.Please consider sharing this episode with your friends and family.  There are many people dealing with tax issues, and you may not know about it.  This information might be helpful to someone who really needs it.  As we conclude Episode 75, we encourage you to connect with Timalyn on social media.

In "The Fulfillment Playbook: ShipStation's Strategy for Building an Unbreakable Shipping Network", Joe Lynch and Josh Steinitz, Chief Strategy Officer at Auctane, discuss how to turn complex global logistics into a seamless competitive advantage.

About ShipStation Every day, tens of thousands of ecommerce businesses rely on ShipStation to solve the day-to-day challenges of importing orders and processing shipments. Since 2011, ShipStation's online shipping solution has helped businesses scale and deliver exceptional customer experiences—wherever they sell and however they ship. The multi-channel and multi-carrier platform offers over 400 integrations and partnerships with leading shopping carts, marketplaces, carriers, and fulfillment services, including USPS, UPS, FedEx, GlobalPost, Amazon, Shopify, and BigCommerce. ShipStation is a member of the Auctane family of companies and is headquartered in Austin, TX. For more information, visit www.shipstation.com. Key Takeaways: The Fulfillment Playbook: ShipStation's Strategy for Building an Unbreakable Shipping Network In "The Fulfillment Playbook: ShipStation's Strategy for Building an Unbreakable Shipping Network", Joe Lynch and Josh Steinitz, Chief Strategy Officer at Auctane, discuss how to turn complex global logistics into a seamless competitive advantage. Diversification is the Foundation of "Unbreakable" Logistics: Drawing from Josh's experience at Amazon Worldwide Operations (where he helped launch Amazon Logistics and expand Amazon Air), a primary takeaway is that a resilient network cannot rely on a single carrier. An unbreakable strategy requires a multi-carrier approach—integrating giants like UPS and FedEx with regional players and postal services to mitigate risks like strikes, capacity crunches, or price hikes. Move from "Reactive Shipping" to "Proactive Strategy": As Chief Strategy Officer, Josh emphasizes that shipping should not be an afterthought at the end of a sale. The "Playbook" involves using logistics as a competitive lever. By leveraging Auctane's suite of tools (ShipStation, Metapack, etc.), businesses can transform fulfillment from a cost center into a strategic asset that drives customer retention. Automation is the Antidote to Operational Complexity: ShipStation's core value proposition is streamlining the "day-to-day challenges of importing orders." Automation is key - automatically selecting the best carrier, service, and packaging based on pre-defined criteria. This eliminates human error and allows a small team to handle the volume of a much larger enterprise. The Power of "Unified Commerce" and Deep Integration: With over 400 integrations, ShipStation's strategy highlights that an unbreakable network must be "plug-and-play." Your fulfillment system should seamlessly sync with marketplaces (Amazon, eBay), platforms (Shopify, BigCommerce), and inventory management. Leveraging "The Amazon Effect" for Small and Mid-Sized Brands: Josh's background at Amazon gives him unique insight into what consumers now expect: speed, transparency, and low costs. A major takeaway is how ShipStation democratizes these "Amazon-level" capabilities for smaller merchants, providing them with discounted rates and branded tracking experiences that allow them to compete with the world's largest retailers. Multi-Channel Order Centralization: ShipStation acts as a "single pane of glass" by integrating with over 100 different e-commerce marketplaces (like Shopify, Amazon, and eBay). For a shipper, this eliminates the need to jump between platforms; it centralizes every order into one dashboard, significantly reducing manual data entry and the risk of fulfillment errors. Automated Rate Shopping and Discounted Shipping: The platform provides instant access to deeply discounted rates with major carriers like UPS, USPS, and FedEx. Shippers can use automation rules to "rate shop" in real-time - automatically selecting the most cost-effective or fastest carrier based on the package's weight, destination, or service level - which directly protects profit margins and scales shipping operations without adding headcount.

In this episode of FreightWaves Daily, we analyze why the freight market has shifted into panic mode with rejection rates doubling and spot rates climbing significantly. We break down the perfect storm of weather, holiday demand, and regulatory crackdowns that are rapidly removing carrier capacity from the road.
