On the bridge of the container ship Dali, 4 minutes from disaster, there's one critical moment we haven't heard about yet.
The very moment the ship lost power the 1st time.
What did the pilot do, right then?
His first thought, apparently, was safety — the bridge looming ahead.

Trump facing a criminal trial on March 25 is significant. To understand, review the bidding.
First, before Trump was President, he hid his payments (the hush money) to avoid a criminal indictment then.
Second, he then became President, and said he couldn’t be indicted for his past crimes like the hush money while in office.
Third, he then committed more serious crimes in office (the Mueller report lists 10), and he said he couldn’t be prosecuted for his crimes as a sitting President while in office.
Fourth, he then got voted out of office, and so committed even more crimes to try to stay in office (the Jan. 6 charges, some of the most significant charges in the book), and said he couldn’t be prosecuted for them while he was still President.
Fifth, b/c he couldn't be prosecuted, Congress impeached him and he said he couldn’t be impeached because the only remedy was to prosecute him after he leaves office, not to impeach him.
Sixth, he then leaves office and he’s prosecuted (as per exactly what his lawyers said could happen to him), and he now says he can’t be prosecuted because he is absolutely immune from prosecution for acts while he was President.
Seventh, for crimes he committed when he was NOT President (like the New York ones), he is now saying he can’t be prosecuted for those either, b/c he’s he’s a candidate for President again (as his lawyer argued in court today).
And oh, eighth, he filed a brief in the US Supreme Court today saying because he was not impeached, he can't be convicted.
What is this? What Constitution on earth would permit this?

In 2010, Vermont was already one of the oldest states. Since then, we have gotten even older. The number of children is down 14k (11%) while the 65-79 population is up 44k (67%). Our demographics keep getting worse, and it’s because of the ‘archipelago’ vision. 1/6
The reason digital media coverage of the tech industry is so negative is the same as the reason that coverage of everything else is negative — media companies use powerful technology to optimize for engagement and negativity is more engaging.

It’s surprising that you haven’t heard more about this from Republicans who were so passionate about the IT policy compliance issue back six or seven years ago.
First on CNN: The Defense Department wiped phones of key officials in the Trump administration, so January 6 texts were deleted, according to court filings cnn.it/3SnH1io
Our two greatest presidents - Lincoln and FDR - were great precisely because they both recognized there’s something precious and worth fighting for in America’s institutions, but that saving and redeeming those institutions sometimes requires truly radical action.
