Episode 12: Maxine Turner, Council on Small Business

Posted by | June 30, 2017 |

On today’s episode, Chrisella sits down with Maxine Turner. You might remember our interview with Maxine from a previous episode. Shortly after that interview, Maxine retired from Cuisine Unlimited and handed the company she founded over to her sons. But that doesn’t mean Maxine is taking things easy — she now serves as the chair for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Council on Small Business. In this role, she recently testified before Congress about how policies coming out of Washington affect small businesses across the country. We sat down to talk with her about some of these policies and issues, including the elephant in the room: healthcare and the future of the Affordable Care Act.

Book Review: “Haters: Harassment, Abuse, and Violence Online” by Bailey Poland

Posted by | May 24, 2017 |

Every morning, Bailey Poland wakes up and goes online, following a routine familiar to most of us: read the news, check email and social media. From there, her routine will be familiar to many women, especially those with an active internet presence: she checks on the accounts that have sent her rape threats recently, to see if a report has been updated or if they are planning another wave of attacks; the she scrolls through the Facebook groups and blogs and other public postings to see if groups that coordinate harassment of women online are planning another attack on...

In testimony before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism today, former acting Attorney General Sally Yates told Senators that there was an urgent concern that former National Security Advisor Gen. Michael Flynn was compromised and open to blackmail by Russian actors. Gen. Flynn remained National Security Advisor for 18 days after Yates warned the White House that his conduct compromised national security. The Trump Administration only fired Flynn after the Washington Post reported Flynn had conversations with Russia’s ambassador to the United States, Sergey Kislyak, on the same day the Obama Administration announced sanctions. Yates: “You...
