December 29, 2022 Special Forces members get special treatment from this group when they leave the military
Members of the military special forces can do extraordinary things. But eventually they muster out, with little preparation for work in the private sector. That's where the Tampa, Florida based Star network comes in. Star stands for Special Operations Forces Transition Assistance Resource. It's a group of executives who volunteer to help SOF members while pledging to hire them. One new member of the Star network joins me now.

December 28, 2022 The more industry peels open the omnibus bill, the stranger it looks
The omnibus budget package is a lot more than a bill to fund government operations. Congress stuffed its five thousand pages with tax and business provisions. Some have real impact.

December 28, 2022 The Justice department lags in a strategy required by law
Maybe it's lack of leadership. Or lack of attention. But the Justice Department has failed on a critical congressional mandate, that's according to the Government Accountability Office. Justice has been required to update a national strategy to deal with exploitation of children every two years. For what has actually happened, the Federal Drive turned to the GAO's director of Homeland Security and Justice issues, Gretta Goodwin.
