I’m a NO on the DHS funding bill that allows ICE to keep terrorizing our communities.
ICE’s conduct this past year is beyond comprehension. Now, Trump is asking Congress for more funding. No way.

Always amazing how the Oscars seems disconnected from their audience.
Then again, 2025 wasn’t filled with a ton of great movies anyway, imo.

The accountability problem exposed by the first Garmin Autoland deployment
Garmin and the FAA expected Autoland would be used following pilot incapacitation, an assumption that was overturned in December. What happens now?

With all seriousness, I think in the livestreaming age a major newspaper should give the TMZ on TV format a try. Loose, casual, on the newsroom floor. I think it could be engaging and great for trust. You could cut to different people's desks, sit on certain meetings, even interviews.
