Dave Batt - Kids Phones at Night

The monsters keeping our children awake at night aren’t the stuff of fairy tales — they’re made of pixels and social media likes. A comprehensive study is pulling back the curtain on a troubling trend: nighttime phone use turning bedtime into a battleground for sleep and mental health.  The research, conducted in Australia, reveals a troubling connection between late-night texting, cyberbullying, and psychological distress among kids as young as seven years-old.Scientists say the childhood rite of passage of staying up past bedtime has taken a dark turn in the digital age.  The study, published in the journal Adolescents, analyzed data from over 53,000 Australian children between the ages of seven and 19. For many kids, “lights out” is just the beginning of their nightly online activities — and the consequences are more serious than just next-day drowsiness.  One of the most striking discoveries was that about a third of primary school children (ages 7-11) and more than 60% of secondary school students (ages 12-19) reported using their phones at night at least once a week. This nighttime phone use was associated with shorter sleep duration and increased psychological distress across all age groups.  But it’s not just about losing sleep. The study also found that children who experienced cyberbullying were more likely to use their phones at night and report sleep issues and psychological distress. Approximately 15% of the children surveyed had experienced cyberbullying in the past school term, with rates peaking in early adolescence. Dave is an expert in social media and mental health.

Adam Lampert - Senior Care

An industry lawsuit is urging a federal court to overturn the Biden administration’s new mandatory minimum staffing requirements on nursing homes, arguing the federal Medicare agency exceeded its authority. The complaint argues Congress never gave the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) the authority “to impose such onerous and unachievable mandates on practically every nursing home in the country,” so the rules are a violation of the Administrative Procedure Act.  It was filed in the Northern District of Texas by the American Health Care Association (AHCA), its Texas counterpart and the operators of three nursing homes in the state.  The lawsuit argues the requirements will force facilities to close or downsize, displacing tens of thousands of residents and “forcing countless other seniors and family members to wait longer, search farther, and pay more for the care they need.”  The lawsuit argues the requirements will force facilities to close or downsize, displacing tens of thousands of residents and “forcing countless other seniors and family members to wait longer, search farther, and pay more for the care they need.” Under the requirements unveiled last month, all nursing homes that receive federal funding through Medicare and Medicaid will need to have a registered nurse on staff 24 hours per day, seven days per week and provide at least 3.48 hours of nursing care per resident per day.  Under the requirements unveiled last month, all nursing homes that receive federal funding through Medicare and Medicaid will need to have a registered nurse on staff 24 hours per day, seven days per week and provide at least 3.48 hours of nursing care per resident per day.

Anthony Russo - Trump Nebraska

Nebraska GOP senator opposes Electoral College change that may have helped Trump win re-election.  Nebraska Sen. Mike McDonnell said, '...43 days from Election Day, is not the moment to make this change'.  The Republican Party’s efforts to lock down all of Nebraska’s electoral votes for former President Trump could be jeopardized after a state lawmaker refused to throw his support behind an initiative to change how the state allocates its electoral votes.  Nebraska state Sen. Mike McDonnell, a former Democrat from Omaha who switched his party to Republican this year, issued a statement Monday about his opposition to awarding that state’s five electoral votes as a winner-take-all, like 48 other states currently do.  Maine and Nebraska are the only two states that give two electoral votes to the candidate who wins statewide and one to the winner in each congressional district.  The senator’s decision means Republicans do not have the two-thirds majority they would need in Nebraska to pull off a change before the Nov. 5 election.
