A cosmic 'CT scan' shows the universe is far more complex than expected

Jan 28, 2025

A powerful combination of data from two very different astronomical surveys has allowed researchers to build a "cosmic CT scan" of the universe's evolution.

These snapshots reveal that, as forces like gravity have reshaped the universe, the universe has in turn become less clumpy. In other words, the universe grew more complicated than expected.

The team behind these findings used the sixth and final data release from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) in combination with Year 1 data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) to reach these conclusions.

This powerful combination of data allowed the researchers to layer cosmic time, akin to stacking ancient cosmic photographs over recent images of the universe, creating a multidimensional perspective of the cosmos.

"This process is like a cosmic CT scan, where we can look through different slices of cosmic history and track how matter clumped together at different epochs," team co-leader Mathew Madhavacheril of the University of Pennsylvania said in a statement.

"It gives us a direct look into how the gravitational influence of matter changed over billions of years."

Following the story of ancient cosmic light

In order for the team to build this so-called CT scan of the universe, they needed to turn to light that has existed almost as long as the cosmos itself.

With such ancient light, it's possible to track the changes the universe underwent as gravity reshaped it over around 13.8 billion years.

"ACT, covering approximately 23% of the sky, paints a picture of the universe’s infancy by using a distant, faint light that’s been traveling since the Big Bang," team co-leader paper Joshua Kim, a graduate researcher in the Madhavacheril Group, said in the statement.

"Formally, this light is called the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), but we sometimes just call it the universe's baby picture because it's a snapshot of when it was around 380,000 years old."

The CMB is light left over from an event that happened shortly after the Big Bang called the "last scattering."

This occurred when the universe had expanded and cooled enough to allow electrons and protons to form the first neutral atoms of hydrogen.

The disappearance of free electrons meant that photons, aka particles of light, were free to travel without being endlessly scattered. In other words, the universe suddenly went from being opaque to being transparent.

Today, that first light is seen as the CMB, also known as the "surface of last scattering."

Though often described as a "cosmic fossil," the CMB hasn't remained entirely unchanged for billions of years. The expansion of the universe has caused its photons to shift to longer wavelengths and lose energy.

Its temperature is now uniform at minus 454 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 270 degrees Celsius).

Because mass warps the fabric of spacetime, giving rise to gravity, light from the CMB has warped while traveling past large, dense and heavy structures such as galaxy clusters.

This is akin to looking at a grid pattern at the bottom of an empty swimming pool and noting the distortion caused as water is added.

This process is known as "gravitational lensing." Albert Einstein first suggested it as part of his theory of gravity, general relativity.

By noting how the CMB has warped and distorted over time, scientists can learn a great deal about the evolution of matter over billions of years.

Gigantic 500,000-mile 'hole' in the sun's atmosphere aims aurora-sparking solar wind at Earth

January 28, 2025

A colossal coronal hole, nearly 500,000 miles (800,000 kilometers) wide, has opened in the sun's atmosphere, spewing fast-moving solar wind toward Earth.

Coronal holes are regions where the sun's magnetic fields have opened up, allowing solar wind, to escape freely into space, according to spaceweather.com.

These areas appear darker in ultraviolet images because the hot, glowing gases typically trapped within the magnetic fields are no longer contained, instead streaming outward into space.

The solar wind escaping from this coronal hole — the diameter of which measures over 62 times that of the diameter of Earth — is moving at speeds of more than 310 miles per second (500 kilometers per second).

According to spaceweather.com, this flow is expected to reach Earth by Jan. 31, where it could spark minor (G1) geomagnetic storm conditions.

While these storms are not severe, they can intensify auroral displays, creating vibrant northern and southern lights at higher latitudes.

For an up-to-date breakdown of geomagnetic activity over the next 3 days, check out NOAA's SWPC 3-day forecast.

NOAA classifies geomagnetic storms using a G-scale, which ranks their intensity from G1 (minor) to G5 (extreme). The recent geomagnetic storm watch NOAA issued is rated as a G1.

Auroras occur when solar wind interacts with Earth's magnetic field. The charged particles from the sun collide with gases in the upper atmosphere, such as oxygen and nitrogen, transferring energy to them.

This energy is released as light, producing the colorful displays seen in the night sky. The stronger the solar wind, the more dynamic and widespread the auroras can become.

Though G1 conditions are possible for Jan.31, remember that space weather is unpredictable and difficult to forecast, much like Earth's weather.

Even though geomagnetic storm warnings at this level are not uncommon, they can occasionally amount to nothing.

To stay updated on space weather and know the best times and places to catch auroras, consider using a space weather app tailored to your location.

One app I recommend is "My Aurora Forecast & Alerts," available on both iOS and Android.

Another great tool is the "Space Weather Live" app on iOS and Android which offers more in-depth insights into current space weather conditions and their potential for aurora activity.

Array Labs, Raytheon, Umbra form partnership focused on 3D mapping from space

January 27, 2025

Defense contractor Raytheon is partnering with satellite imaging startups Array Labs and Umbra Space to develop advanced three-dimensional Earth observation technologies for the commercial and government markets.

The companies announced Jan. 27 they will jointly offer a new product called Site3D, which combines synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology with specialized mapping algorithms to create detailed 3D models of the Earth’s surface.

SAR technology, which can capture images regardless of weather conditions or time of day, has gained increasing commercial adoption as satellite companies seek to provide continuous monitoring capabilities to customers.

Santa Barbara-based Umbra Space currently operates SAR satellites for Earth observation, while Palo Alto startup Array Labs is developing clusters of small radar satellites designed to work in formation to capture multiple angles of the same location simultaneously. The goal is to create a high-resolution 3D map of the Earth.

Raytheon and Umbra “will help us educate customers, bring 3D data products to market faster, and launch our own satellite imaging clusters,” said Array Labs CEO Andrew Peterson. The partnership leverages Raytheon’s experience in imagery processing.

“We’re bringing precise 3D processing algorithms, developed over two decades of working with electro-optical imagery,” said Erich Hernandez-Baquero, vice president of space intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance at Raytheon, based in Arlington, Virginia.

The collaboration is expected to create expanded market opportunities, according to Umbra.

The company’s vice president of remote sensing Joe Morrison said Array and Raytheon “have transformed our data into a totally new product applicable to customers we never would have known existed, let alone reached, without them.”

"Monday Afternoon Massacre": USAID Employees Placed On Leave For Allegedly Circumventing Trump's Orders

Officials for the US Agency for International Development (USAID) have been placed on paid (!) leave after allegedly trying to circumvent President Donald Trump's executive orders, according to a memorandum sent to agency staffers on Jan. 27.

USAID officials identified several actions that "appeared to be designed to circumvent the President’s Executive Orders and the mandate from the American people," according to acting administrator, Jason Gray.

"As a result, we have placed a number of USAID employees on administrative leave with full pay and benefits until further notice while we complete our analysis of these actions," he added.

According to USAID's China policy lead Francisco Benscome, "People are calling it the Monday afternoon massacre," adding "This decision undermines our national security and emboldens our adversaries. ... Instead of focusing on China, North Korea, or Russia, the Trump Administration is going after public servants who have served multiple administrations—including the first Trump administration."

Cry harder.

Democrats are freaking out over the 'massacre,' with Rep. Gregory Meeks (R-NY), a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, saying in a statement that the move was harmful and had no benefit.

USAID, which notably gave Wuhan Labn collaborator EcoHealth Alliance a $4.67 million grant in 2021, then stonewalled when asked for documents - and handed Ukrainian energy giant Burisma a lucrative contract months after Hunter Biden joined its board, and gave $15 million to organizations linked to George Soros, is an 'independent' federal agency that leads US efforts on international development and 'humanitarian assistance' to other countries.

Republicans have been long critical of USAID's priorities, including providing funds to Afghanistan to distribute contraceptives.

"USAID needs to be dismantled," wrote Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) in a Monday post on X.

Members of a Scottish child sex abuse ring have been imprisoned after the court heard of “depravity” that included sexual abuse of very young children, giving them drugs, and threatening to kill one child in a microwave. The group of seven individuals has been sentenced to lifelong restriction orders following convictions for their involvement in a child abuse ring in Glasgow, Scotland.

The sentences, including minimum prison terms ranging from eight to 20 years, were handed down by a judge at the High Court in Glasgow, who described the crimes as among the most severe they had encountered.

The group, comprised of two women and five men, was found guilty of the systematic abuse of children in an environment saturated with heroin and crack cocaine. Four of the member of the rape gang faced additional charges of attempting to murder a child by placing her in dangerous situations, including inside a microwave. Meanwhile, prosecutors decided against pursuing charges related to alleged Satanic witchcraft practices involving the victims.

The appalling case comes as Britain’s far-left Labour government has been pressured into approving some limited public inquiries into child rape grooming gangs in England, comprised primarily of Muslims of Pakistani heritage. There are estimated tens or hundreds of thousands of victims of Muslim rape gangs across Britain.

Since 2018, Over 75,000 Canadians Died Waiting for Health Care

If you think Canada has such a great nationalized health care system, you need to reconsider.

Death by Delay

SecondStreet reports 15,474 Canadians Died Waiting for Health Care in 2023-24

Today, SecondStreet.org released government data showing an additional 15,474 patients in Canada died in 2023-24 before receiving various surgeries or diagnostic scans. However, that number is incomplete, as several governments provide either partial data, or simply do not track the problem.

SecondStreet.org collected the data by filing Freedom of Information (FOI) requests across Canada. When the data collected is extrapolated across jurisdictions which did not provide data, the number actually nearly doubles, to around 28,077. These figures cover everything from cancer treatment and heart operations to cataract surgery and MRI scans.

“Canadians pay really high taxes and yet our health care system is failing when compared to better-performing universal systems in Europe,” said Harrison Fleming, Legislative and Policy Director at SecondStreet.org. “Thousands of Canadians across the country find themselves on waitlists — in some cases for several years -— with too many tragically dying before ever getting treated, or even diagnosed.”

Key Findings

At least 15,474 patients died in Canada while waiting for surgeries or diagnostic scans. This figure does not include Quebec, Alberta, Newfoundland and Labrador and most of Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia only provided data on patients who died while waiting for surgeries – not diagnostic scans.

If one extrapolates the data provided across provinces and health regions that did not provide data, an estimated 28,077 patients died last year on health care waiting lists.

While some response data is vague, SecondStreet.org observed cases where patients died after waiting anywhere from less than a week for treatment to more than 14 years.

New data from Ontario Health suggests 378 patients died while waiting for cardiac surgery or a cardiac procedure.

Since April 2018, SecondStreet.org has identified a staggering 74,677 cases where Canadians died while waiting for care.

Another 15,000-Plus Euthanized

The National Review comments on Canada’s Socialized Health-Care Culture of Death

What a debacle. More than 15,000 people died in Canada in one year because they couldn’t access care in the country’s collapsing socialized health-care system.

But it gets worse. About the same number of people were euthanized in Canada in 2023. Some asked to be lethally jabbed because they couldn’t access health care in a timely fashion.

Sen unveils 4K livestream of Earth and space station docking port

January 27, 2025

London-based Sen unveiled an ultra-high resolution livestream Jan. 27 from space.

“This livestream represents the launch of the business,” Charles Black, Sen founder and CEO, told SpaceNews.

Since 2007, Sen has developed the technology and tools to offer the livestream, called SpaceTV-1, from the International Space Station. Advertising, sponsorship and subscriptions will provide funding for the livestream.

Through the livestream, “we want to empower people to see that we live on a beautiful planet and raise awareness about environmental events and climate change,” Black said.

“A lot of satellite companies focus on providing very valuable scientific data to governments and businesses. But there isn’t anything that’s accessible or useful or inspiring for the public.”

As people on Earth become increasingly reliant on space-based broadband communications, weather monitoring and other services, Sen also seeks to “raise awareness of the importance of space,” Black said.

Sen’s 4K-resolution livestream will be available for more than 20 hours per day at Sen.com and on YouTube. Imagery is being transmitted to the ground through an intersatellite relay link.

“The focus is on building that into a profitable livestream over the next year,” Black said.

Airbus U.S. Space and Defense is hosting three cameras on the Bartolomeo platform attached to the European Space Agency’s Columbus module.

A camera with a wide-angle lens provides views of Earth’s horizon. A second camera films scenes of approximately 240 kilometers by 180 kilometers, with a resolution of about 60 meters per pixel.

Sen’s third video camera faces the docking port of the space station’s Harmony module.

Sen plans to send additional cameras to orbit in 2026. In addition to cameras on ISS, Sen captures video imagery from a 16u cubesat built by Kongsberg NanoAvionics and launched in 2022.

Belgian air, space commander visits Luke AFB

Jan. 28, 2025

The 56th Fighter Wing leadership team, along with the 312th Fighter Squadron, hosted Maj. Gen. Thierry Dupont, commander of the Belgium Air and Space Component, during his visit to Luke Air Force Base, Jan. 13-16.

As Belgium prepares to transition from the F-16 Fighting Falcon to the F-35A Lightning II, the nation is focused on ensuring its pilots and maintainers are fully equipped to operate and sustain the fifth-generation aircraft effectively.

“The relationship between Belgium and the United States is built on decades of trust and cooperation,” Dupont said.

“As Belgium transitions to the F-35 platform, it is vital that we continue to learn from one another to maintain mission readiness and ensure global preparation.”

During his visit, Dupont toured various facilities, met with leadership, and observed training operations conducted by the 56th FW and the 944th FW.

The discussions focused on enhancing interoperability, sharing best practices, and leveraging the advanced training environment provided at Luke AFB to support Belgium’s F-35 program.

Luke AFB serves as a critical training hub for United States and allied F-35 pilots. Belgium is among several international partners participating in the F-35 program, with its first aircraft delivered in 2024.

“The integration of allies into our training programs not only enhances their operational capabilities but also strengthens our collective ability to respond to global challenges,” said Col. Matthew Johnston, 56th Fighter Wing deputy commander.

“This collaboration ensures robust deterrence and the ability to decisively respond to security threats around the globe.”

As part of the visit, Dupont observed live training missions, including joint operations scenarios involving Belgian and U.S. pilots.

He also toured the 312th FS, where F-35 pilots receive state-of-the-art instruction and engaged with Belgian personnel currently embedded at Luke AFB.

“The training environment here is unparalleled,” Dupont said. “The ability to integrate our pilots into a diverse and dynamic operational setting prepares them to excel in complex, multinational missions.”

Luke AFB continues to play a pivotal role in advancing the capabilities of allied air power, ensuring readiness and cooperation in support of global peace and security.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth Begins 'Most Important Deployment of My Life'

Jan. 27, 2025

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth was sworn into his new role leading America's 3.5 million service members and civilians by Vice President JD Vance the morning of Jan. 18, following Hegseth's Jan. 17th’s evening Senate confirmation.

“When President Trump chose me for this position, the primary charge he gave me was to bring the warrior culture back to the Department of Defense,” Hegseth said during his Jan. 14 confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee.

“He, like me, wants a Pentagon laser-focused on lethality, meritocracy, warfighting, accountability and readiness.”

Hegseth listed restoring the warrior ethos, rebuilding the military and reestablishing deterrence as the ingredients needed to bring back warfighting.

Calling himself a change agent, Hegseth outlined a vision of a culture of accountability, high standards, performance, readiness, rapid innovation and merit across the Defense Department.

“We share the same goals,” he told the committee. “A ready, lethal military; the health and well-being of our troops; and a strong and secure America.”

He also said he would trim the bureaucracy and reallocate resources to the warfighter.

“We won World War II with seven four-star generals,” he said. “Today we have 44. … There is an inverse relationship between the size of staffs and victory on the battlefield.

We do not need more bureaucracy at the top. We need more warfighters empowered at the bottom. So, it is going to be my job … to identify those places where fat can be cut, so it can go toward lethality.”

A former Army National Guard officer, Hegseth, 44, served as an infantryman leading troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and guarding detainees at Guantanamo Bay.

His military awards include two Bronze Star Medals, the Joint Commendation Medal, two Army Commendation Medals, the Combat Infantryman Badge and the Expert Infantryman Badge.

Hegseth said his role as the 29th secretary of defense is "the most important deployment of my life."

Hailing from Minnesota, Hegseth graduated from Princeton University in 2003 and earned a master's degree from Harvard University in 2013.

He has led organizations advocating for veterans, served as a Fox News host and published several books.

Hegseth and his wife, Jennifer, have seven children.

The student union of Leeds University has suspended a third-year philosophy and theology student, Connie Shaw, for what were declared “gender critical” views. Shaw’s transgression was to discuss her concerns over transgender ideology. We have previously seen student governments or bodies engage in such anti-free speech activities. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the school administration to maintain free-speech protections on campuses.

Shaw wrote an article, “Gender Madness at the University of Leeds,” questioning the university’s “gender expression fund.” She also interviewed Irish comedian Graham Linehan, an outspoken critic of transgender policies.

She promptly received a “notice of suspension” after she allegedly brought the radio station into “disrepute” because of her “social media activity,” according to The Telegraph.

We have previously discussed how free speech is in a free fall in the United Kingdom. This latest case seems to build on prior moves against “toxic ideologies.”

The cases out of Great Britain are chilling and mounting. A man was convicted for sending a tweet while drunk referring to dead soldiers. Another was arrested for an anti-police t-shirt. Another was arrested for calling the Irish boyfriend of his ex-girlfriend a “leprechaun.” Yet another was arrested for singing “Kung Fu Fighting.” A teenager was arrested for protesting outside of a Scientology center with a sign calling the religion a “cult.”

Guardian mentors mapping to prevent ‘lost in space’

Jan. 28, 2025

Best known for operating the Global Positioning System — a gold standard system that delivers position, navigation and timing signals to users around the world, Mission Delta 31 is equally committed to navigating the growth and development of its people.

Through the Guardian and Airmen Development Program developed by Space Operations Command, MD 31 is fostering a new generation of leaders and equipping them with the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities to meet current and future demands of the U.S. Space Force.

Tech. Sgt. Kristeo Torres, 2nd Navigational Warfare Squadron crew chief, is one of many Guardians working within the delta to achieve this.

“The Guardian and Airmen Development Program is about developing our junior Guardians to have those tools to help develop them into future leaders,” Torres said.

“But it’s not just for the mission, it’s also on a more personal level. A lot of Guardians come in at the age of 18 so they may need assistance with things like finances or education and so on.

“In support of the program, I coordinated the 2nd NWS’ first-ever mentorship round robin.

The way it came about was the junior and senior NCOs were having a meeting where we were discussing professional development opportunities for our people.

That discussion jogged my memory of the mentorship I experienced when I was in the Navy. So, I brought it up and my leadership thought it was a good idea.”

Given the go-ahead, Torres booked a conference room and sent out 10 invitations — five junior enlisted and five noncommissioned officers.

On the day of, Torres sat the ranking members on one side of the table and the junior members on the other, established the ground rules and then started the clock at five minutes per person.

“They spoke with each other to better understand expectations for mentors and mentees,” Torres said.

“Once the event concluded, the mentees were able to go into a spreadsheet and put together a priority list of who they wanted as their mentors.

Because five minutes is short, we are now setting up follow-up meetings to get them together again to further grow those relationships.

“A mentor is someone that you can go to at almost any given time to speak about professional development, personal growth or anything in between.

In the Navy, it was mandatory to have a mentor. Getting lost in space can be a challenge. Not due to a lack of drive or interest, but because the Space Force is still new, and things are still getting stood up.

Our junior people are not always seeing the opportunities that are available to them. I would like to see leaders stepping up and bringing outside perspectives, especially from other inter-service transfers like me.

That will lead to more opportunities like what has happened here. We can turn their ideas into action.”

MD 31 consists of three squadrons and one detachment, across geographically separated locations — 2nd NWS, the 31st Capability Development Squadron and the 31st Sustainment Squadron.

REPORT: CBS radio station exposes ICE undercover operation in gang neighborhood live on air…==1/2

January 28, 2025 (5 hours ago)

If you’re not living under a rock, you know that President Trump has unleashed the fury of a thousand suns to deport the millions of criminal illegals Joe Biden welcomed with open arms. The Dems’ new voting bloc is being systematically dismantled, and it’s happening in major cities across the nation—from Illinois to California and everywhere in between.

Speaking of Illinois, the people in Chicago seem absolutely thrilled to see the riffraff getting the ol’ boot.

As you’d expect, the most progressive sanctuary cities—the ones that put violent illegals above hardworking, decent Americans—are fighting back against deporting dangerous gang members and other criminals. Reports suggest that a CBS affiliate radio station in San Francisco, KCBS, went live on air and blew the cover of an undercover ICE team operating in a notoriously gang-infested area.

Andy Ngo:

At around 6:05 p.m. PT, @KCBSRadio, a prominent Bay Area radio station, reported live the vehicle descriptions of three alleged undercover @ICEgovERO @ICEgov vehicles in east San Jose, an area with violent Latino migrant gang activity.

The information put the law enforcement officers at serious risk while an operation was ongoing targeting violent, criminal foreign nationals.

Supposedly, this the KCBS reporter who allegedly blew the cover and revealed the locations of undercover ICE vehicles:

It seems there was a full-scale public effort in San Jose to clear the already dangerous, gang-infested area of criminal illegals. But on top of that plan, there were reportedly undercover operations in play that KCBS exposed—and if these reports are true, they should lose their broadcasting license.

Nation News Now:

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are in San Jose conducting an operation on Sunday, Mayor Matt Mahan’s office confirmed in a statement sent to KRON4. The San Jose Police Department was notified that ICE agents were in the city.

Amid concerns within local Bay Area communities, Mahan said he hopes ICE is not targeting law-abiding San Jose residents but rather criminals. SJPD is not involved in ICE’s operations “in any way.”

“I sincerely hope that ICE remains focused on enforcement actions related to violent and serious criminals harming our city,” Mahan said. “Not neighbors who are contributing and law-abiding members of our community.”

But this reported undercover radio reveal isn’t surprising. Politicians have been vowing to break the law to protect criminal illegals for ages. And now, with President Trump armed with a clear and vert strong mandate from the American people, they’re really cranking up the rhetoric like never before.

Many are now asking if KCBS is one of the radio stations owned by Soros. After all, it was recently reported that the Soros family has been snapping up radio stations at breakneck speed.

BNN Bloomberg:

Audacy Inc., the bankrupt radio broadcaster, won regulatory approval for the transfer of its licenses to a nonprofit funded by billionaire George Soros, paving the way for the company to emerge from Chapter 11.

Under the restructuring approved by the court in February, the new, closely held company will be controlled by the Fund for Policy Reform, a Delaware nonprofit, according to an FCC filing Monday. It will be governed by a four-person board, including Alexander Soros, son of the billionaire investor.

FCC approval arrived nearly seven months after courts backed a reorganization plan that handed control of the company and its 200-plus stations to creditors including Soros Fund Management and wiped out the old shareholders. Audacy’s exit from bankruptcy is expected within days, the company said.

The transfer of the licenses was opposed by two FCC members, Brendan Carr and Nathan Simington. It also faces scrutiny from Republican lawmakers concerned about the senior Soros’ role at the company.

Republican Representatives James Comer of Kentucky and Nick Langworthy of New York, both members of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, announced an investigation into the FCC’s approval proceedings last week. They said the agency overlooked foreign ownership concerns to facilitate Soros’ ownership stake.

Why is the FCC allowing groups backed by politically driven foreigners to snatch up US radio stations? And will they crack down on KCBS, or will they play politics and let this progressive station endanger law enforcement while protecting gang members? These are the questions everyone’s asking—and the answers might go deeper than we think.

We’ll leave you with this…

Ann is Right:

Thanks for bringing this to our attention Sen. Kennedy!

So we all know George Soros is a fraud! Why was he allowed to buy the majority of radio stations despite FCC rules. This definitely needs investigation. The FCC’s decision to bypass standard procedures for this deal, especially before an election, definitely does raise concerns about political influence and foreign ownership limits!!! Lock him up!

This video is 20 minutes long, but it’s definitely worth listening to!

Detroit: from Motor City to Drone City?

January 28, 2025

Detroit has long been known as the Motor City given its association with the automotive industry. But soon, it might be able to call itself drone city.

Back in 2023, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) — in partnership with a tech project called Michigan Central — launched the “Advanced Aerial Innovation Region” (AAIR).

The initiative was established to position Detroit and the broader state of Michigan as a leader in next-generation aerial mobility and drone technology.

Its goal? To attract startups, to catalyze new high-skill jobs, to advance policy and ultimately to drive commercialization and adoption of drone technology.

So what’s been happening over the past two years? Here’s what you need to know about Detroit as an Advanced Aerial Innovation Region, and what’s on the horizon for 2025:

Detroit’s position in the drone industry

What to know about the Michigan Central project

How drones tie in to Michigan Central

Private companies leading the way

BVLOS drone flights

Community engagement

How long will the Central Michigan project last?

What Detroit could do for the drone industry

What to know about the Michigan Central project

The project to create a Advanced Aerial Innovation Region centers around a three-mile radius surrounding Michigan Central. That district surrounds in Corktown, Detroit’s oldest neighborhood.

Now drones are not the only set of innovations happening in the area. In fact, the Michigan Central district has all sorts of innovations happening around mobility.

For example, Ford Motor Company restored Michigan Central Station, which had stood empty since 1988.

That building serves as the centerpiece of this district, which spills out into outdoor plazas and open spaces. All those are being built to promote walkability.

Of course, drones are going to be a part of it, too.

How drones tie in to Michigan Central

Among the drone projects anticipated to occur under the Michigan Central project include using drones to deliver medical supplies, consumer goods and manufacturing materials.

Then there are other sensor-based use cases such as infrastructure inspections.

The project relies on a range of companies and teams coming together. Michigan Central will offer foundational infrastructure, community engagement and skills training.

The City of Detroit is unsurprisingly bought in. And MDOT, of course, is a critical partner too, there to manage drone networks and to define operating parameters. Of course, it’ll have a heavy hand in establishing data and safety protocols.

Private companies leading the way

There are also private companies involved in the Advanced Aerial Innovation Region too. Among the standouts are.

Newlab: Newlab will help launch pilot projects aimed at de-risking and accelerating the commercial scale of high-value drone use cases.

Airspace Link: Airspace Link will offer up use of its platform, which creates digital maps designed to help drone operators understand ground and airspace risks in real-time.

It ingests more than 60 data sources yet can simplify Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) flight authorization requests to the FAA. Even for people in Detroit who don’t fly drones, Airspace Link will allow Detroit residents to understand which flights (or planned flights) are happening nearby.

Spexi: Speaking of Airspace Link, the company announced a partnership in January 2025 that will integrate Spexi’s ultra-high-resolution aerial imagery with Airspace Link’s AirHub operations platform.

The platform will mostly target first responders and city planners, who could use aerial data to optimize infrastructure projects, reduce costs and improve efficiency.

Perhaps not coincidentally, Airspace Link, which is one of just a handful of FAA-approved LAANC service suppliers, was itself founded in Detroit.

Happening now: Selena Gomez and Jim Acosta destroyed by the #TrumpCurse…

January 28, 2025 (7 hours ago)1/2

That old saying about killing two birds with one stone feels pretty spot-on here—but even more so, it’s starting to feel like the infamous #TrumpCurse is making a comeback.

In case you forgot, the #TrumpCurse is the idea that anyone who opposes or attacks President Trump inevitably faces personal or professional downfall. From politicians to media personalities, those who target Trump often see their careers crumble, their reputations tarnished, or their public support vanish.

That’s exactly what’s happening to former Disney darling Selena Gomez and wannabe reporter Jim Acosta. The two may have crashed and burned for entirely different reasons, but in the end, they’re tied together by the same thread of failed progressive politics. And just nine days after President Trump took back the White House, it all came crashing down for both of them.

What beautiful timing…

It all started with Selena, who posted a narcissistic performance clip—which she was forced to delete after all the backlash—of herself hysterically crying over President Trump’s mass deportations of the illegals who flooded across Biden’s wide-open border. Let’s not forget, these illegals include rapists, murderers, drug traffickers, child abusers, drunk drivers, and a slew of other ne’er-do-wells who’ve overrun our communities, all thanks to the Dem Party and celebrities’ crocodile tears. But Selena couldn’t resist the lure of self-promotion, so she hopped online, bawling her eyes out for these dregs of humanity she lovingly calls “her people.”

Selena doesn’t weep for the victims of illegal crime, like rape, murder, and horrific the drug pandemic.

Gomez was forced to delete her ridiculous clip after facing intense backlash from Americans across the board. Common-sense Americans are fed up with the invasion and the destruction of our neighborhoods, communities, and lives. Even her own fans were livid, questioning why she was crying when she has the money and resources to actually help “her people.” The whole thing was a complete and total backfire from start to finish.

Radar Online:

In fact, the video – which the Only Murders in the Building star deleted shortly after uploading Monday morning – did not sit well with a lot of fans.

The clip showed 32-year-old Gomez, who’s father is of Mexican descent, sobbing over Trump’s deportation of undocumented immigrants and the daily arrest quotas for border officials.

She told her 422 million followers: “I just want to say that I’m so sorry. All my people are getting attacked. The children, I don’t understand.

“I’m so sorry, I wish I could do something, but I can’t. I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything I promise.”

However, the Rare Beauty founder was quickly criticized for not using her reported $1.3 billion net worth to take action herself.

One person slammed: “Selena Gomez, if you truly want to help use your millions to make their lives better.”

A second said: “One of the people that has enough power and money to actually help people is posting a video of themselves crying on an Instagram story, like can you please give your money away.”

Another quipped: “Girl, you have the resources to do a lot. You could fund legal services, translation services, permanently fund mutual aid programs, direct action that disrupts raids, immigration assistance programs that facilitate these folks on their way in etc.”

Meanwhile, Selena’s crocodile tears hadn’t even dried when the drug cartels decided to open fire on the hardworking men and women guarding our nation’s border. In response, Border Czar Tom Homan has officially declared war on the cartel, vowing to unleash the full power of the US government to wipe them off the face of the earth.

Uh oh—someone better get Selena a case of Kleenex.

Overton:

NOW – Tom Homan Declares War on Cartels After Border Agents Fired Upon

“The whole of government is going to dismantle these people and wipe them off the face of the earth.”

Things are heating up fast. Border Czar Tom Homan just announced that the U.S. is preparing to wage an aggressive war on Mexican drug cartels. This comes after U.S. Border Patrol agents were fired upon by suspected cartel members near the U.S.-Mexico border earlier today.

🔥🔥🔥

Tom Homan declared;

“It’s going to get worse Sean, because President Trump is going to seal that border. He’s going to put the cartels out of business.”

“He declared them a terrorist organization.”

“We got the whole of government is going to dismantle these people and wipe them off the face of the earth. They are not going to go lightly.”

“We are taking them on in the trafficking business, we’re taking them on in the smuggling business and we’re taking them on in the dope business.”

“There’s going to be more violence on the southwest border, that’s why trump committed to calling them a terrorist organization. He has.”

“That’s why the entire United States government is going to take care of those people and abolish them.”

“We’re going to attack them not just in Mexico, but in the 42 countries the Jalisco Cartel is currently residing in.”

“The Trump administration is going to take them on, just like he did the Caliphate, and we’re going to destroy them.”

Those are Selena’s people… she should invite them to live in her million-dollar-mansion.

Also, was Selena crying when her precious Dem “leaders” deported her people?

Needless to say, Selena is getting mocked—and she deserves every bit of it.

The next progressive loser to take a nosedive was Jim Acosta, who built his pathetic legacy on a full-blown case of Stage 5 TDS. Jim worked tirelessly to turn CNN into the unserious clown show it is today, earning himself a low-rated show so bad that hardly anyone even knew it existed. After years of dragging CNN further down the toilet with his over-the-top, Trump-hating fake news, CNN—whose ratings are so abysmal it’s a miracle they’re still on air—finally fired him.

But hey, we thought it’d be a fun send-off to remember the good old days when MAGA would gleefully mock and roast Jim at Trump rallies.

Or that time he got spanked on LIVE TV by President Trump…

Let’s hope the #TrumpCurse continues its triumphant comeback and more liberal celebrities, and wannabe reporters keep outing themselves. Their meltdowns not only expose the absurdity of their failed agendas but also serve as a reminder of why America rejected their nonsense in the first place.

After all, every one of their self-inflicted wounds makes our job of winning so much easier—and a heck-of-a-lot more enjoyable.

Multiple reports of drone sightings in Darke County / Mercer County Ohio

Updated: Jan 28, 2025 / 11:25 AM EST

DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – Possible drone sightings in Darke County.

Sheriff Mark Whittaker said the Darke County Sheriff’s Office received two reports of drone sightings on Monday, Jan. 27.

The first report was from an area northwest of Greenville, between it and Union City. The person reported they were “seeing lights in the sky, presumably drones.” A deputy looked but found nothing.

The second report was of “14 large drones flying in the area” of Webster (The east side of the county, between Versailles and Bradford). This sighting also couldn’t be confirmed according to the deputy.

The sheriff’s office said it is aware of the sightings being reported on social media.

Both Darke County and Mercer County have had recent sightings near the county line over the last two days.

Mercer County Sheriff Timmerman has been in close communication with Sheriff Whittaker over the matter.

The Darke County Sheriff’s Office has reached out to the FAA to report the possible sightings and discuss concerns. Anyone with information is asked to call 937-548-2020.

Kremlin responds to Carlson’s claim US attempted to kill Putin

Russia’s security services take all necessary measures to protect the president, spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said

Russian President Vladimir Putin is well protected from any potential threats, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday. He was responding to a claim by American journalist Tucker Carlson that the administration of former US President Joe Biden planned to assassinate the Russian leader.

On Monday, Carlson told journalist Matt Taibbi that former US Secretary of State Antony Blinken “was pushing so hard for a real war, trying to kill Putin, for example… The Biden administration did [it], they tried to kill Putin.”

The conservative journalist did not provide any details of the alleged plot. However, he denounced the purported plan as “insane,” considering the power vacuum it would create in Russia and the potential for Moscow’s vast nuclear arsenal to end up in the wrong hands.

Asked to comment on Carlson’s remarks on Tuesday,Peskov would neither confirm nor deny US attempts to target Putin, nor reveal any knowledge of such plans by officials in Washington in the past. “Russian security services continuously take all necessary measures to ensure public safety and the safety of those under state protection. First and foremost, the head of state,” he told reporters. (I wish American Security Services would do the same for Our Head of State.)

US officials have never acknowledged having plans to assassinate any Russian or Soviet leaders. However, Newsweek reported in September 2022 that US officials had considered the option of a “decapitation strike” if Russia used nuclear weapons in Ukraine, something Moscow has said it has no plans to do.

The Russian president has reportedly been the target of multiple assassination plots dating back to the early 2000s.

In 2012, the Russian and Ukrainian security services arrested a group of extremists in Odessa for allegedly preparing a bomb attack on Putin, who then served as prime minister. The incident came at a time when Moscow and Kiev enjoyed relatively friendly ties, prior to the Western-backed coup in Kiev.

The most recent known incident occurred in May 2023, after the start of the Ukraine conflict,when Moscow accused Kiev of launching a drone attack on the Kremlin in an attempt to assassinate Putin. According to Russian officials, the president was not in the Kremlin at the time of the attack.

https://www.rt.com/russia/611781-putin-assassination-plot-kremlin/

(Tucker insinuated that the tried to kill Putin, by allowing Zelinsky to bomb as far in the Interior of Russia Territory, that could easily get to the Kremlin. Blinken gave Zelinsky permission, and Jake Sullivan banned at first, and Blinken overrode him. Remember Kiev bombed a city VERY CLOSE to MOSCOW the next day as a warning.)

As previously reported, John Bolton was awakened at the stroke of midnight on January 21st by Secret Service agents, who delivered a notice to him: President Donald Trump had officially revoked his protective detail.

Recall that President Donald Trump revoked the Secret Service protection of John Bolton last Monday.

Trump revoked Bolton’s security clearance in an executive order on his first day in office.

BIG WIN FOR FIRST AMENDMENT RELIGIOUS LIBERTY: Federal Judge finds Coast Guard Violated Servicemembers’ Religious Liberties in denying Vaccine Exemptions.

Defending the Republic, along with its co-counsel and supporting attorneys, has been fighting in federal courts for the reinstatement with backpay and benefits for tens of thousands of military service members who were unlawfully punished and separated from service for refusing experimental COVID-19 vaccines in contravention of their sincere religious beliefs. These service members also challenged the authority of the Coast Guard to mandate the COVID-19 vaccines, which were under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) and without a Presidential waiver.

White House Reacts to Rising Egg Prices and Shortages.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday that there has been an increased price "in everything," not just eggs, shifting the blame of inflation on goods to former President Joe Biden's administration.

"There's a lot of reporting out there that's putting the onus on this White House for the increased cost of eggs," Leavitt said during her first official press conference. "I'd like to point out to each and every one of you that in 2024 when Joe Biden was in the Oval Office—or upstairs in the residence sleeping, I'm not so sure—egg prices increased 65 percent in this country."

Egg prices have continued to surge across the country, as the ongoing bird flu outbreak has wreaked havoc among U.S. flocks. Since President Donald Trump has taken office, prices have soared despite his campaign promise to bring down the cost of living—and specifically the cost of the beloved staple—once elected, as experts say prices will likely go even higher throughout the year.

US Senate blocks bill to impose sanctions on International Criminal Court

By Patricia Zengerle

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Legislation that would have imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court in protest of its arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister was blocked in the U.S. Senate on Tuesday.

The chamber voted 54-45 in favor of the bill, meaning the measure, which had already passed the Republican-majority House of Representatives, could not get the 60 "yes" votes needed in the 100-member Senate to advance.

The vote was largely along party lines, with almost every Democrat and independent voting against. Senator John Fetterman was the only Democrat to vote with Republicans to advance the measure. Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff did not vote.

The "Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act" would have imposed sanctions on any foreigner who investigates, arrests, detains or prosecutes U.S. citizens or those of an allied country, including Israel, who are not members of the court.

It passed the House earlier this month 243-140, as 45 Democrats joined Republicans in voting "yes."

In the Senate, Democrats said they agreed with much of the bill, but said it was too broad, and risked alienating important U.S. allies and imposing sanctions on lower level workers at the court in the Netherlands.

Urging colleagues to vote "no," Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer accused the ICC of having "an anti-Israel bias that cannot be ignored." However, he said the bill was poorly crafted and also could target U.S. companies, such as those whose products help protect the court from foreign hackers.

Caroline Kennedy, daughter of John F. Kennedy and cousin of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., launched an attack on him just a day before his confirmation hearing, calling him a “predator.”

She accused him of keeping birds of prey as pets because, in her words, he is a predator himself.

Kennedy went further, claiming that his victims include family members and parents of sick children.

She also criticized his stance on vaccinations, alleging that while he discouraged others from vaccinating their children, he vaccinated his own.

Armed man at Capitol threatened to kill Scott Bessent, Pete Hegseth, Mike Johnson

As Ryan Michael English headed to D.C. from Massachusetts, he stopped at a library in Chevy Chase, Maryland, and saw Reddit posts about Bessent’s confirmation hearing. He then altered his intended target, court records say.

By Andrea Swalec • Published 1 hour ago January 28,2025

An armed man arrested at the U.S. Capitol said he planned to kill Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and burn down The Heritage Foundation, federal authorities say.

Ryan Michael English, 24, of Massachusetts, was found with a knife and two Molotov cocktails onMonday afternoon near the south door of the Capitol, U.S. District Court records say.

“I’d like to turn myself in,” English said after he approached a U.S. Capitol Police officer, the records say.

Officers detained and searched him and found he had a folding knife, a lighter and two 50-mililiter bottles of vodka with a gray cloth attached to the top.

English told officers he went to the Capitol to kill Bessent, who was being confirmed as Treasury secretary. He said he had more Molotov cocktails in his car.

He said he left home on Sunday with the intention to kill Hegseth, who he called a “Nazi,” and Johnson, as well as burn down The Heritage Foundation. He said he aimed to “depose” the officials and send a message, records say.

As English headed to D.C., he stopped at a library in Chevy Chase, Maryland, and saw Reddit posts about Bessent’s

English considered lighting the Molotov cocktails and throwing them at Bessent’s feet.

His car was found in the 900 block of Independence Avenue SW. Officers searched the car and found a 750-mililiter bottle of vodka and a gray sweatshirt with cloth cut from the sleeves. The cloth matched what officers found on the Molotov cocktails in English’s pockets.

In English’s pockets, officers also found a letter of apology to a woman written on the back of a receipt.

“Dear god I am so sorry. You must understand I can feel myself dying slowly b/c of my heart. This is terrible but I cant do nothing while nazis kill my sisters. I love you. This is awful. Im so sorry. I love u,” it said, in part.

English said he would have stabbed Bessent if he were able to get close to him. After looking at security at the Capitol,English thought he would have to kill at least three officers to be able to get to Bessent. He realized he might be killed by police during the attack.

English is accused of weapons possession and carrying a weapon on Capitol grounds.

John Perumbalath, the Bishop of Liverpool, has been accused of sexual assault by one woman and harassment by another.

Perumbalath denies the allegations, claiming encounters took place in public settings and that police declined to take further action in one case.

The scandal adds to growing controversies within the Church of England, following multiple abuse cover-ups and resignations of former Archbishops of Canterbury.

The church now faces calls for independent oversight.

Denmark addresses discrimination against Greenlanders

Copenhagen’s plan comes after US President Donald Trump suggested purchasing the territory

The Danish government has announced a comprehensive initiative to combat racism and discrimination against Greenlanders residing in Denmark, the Copenhagen Post has reported. The move has prompted criticism that the issue has been addressed only after the US began pushing to acquire Greenland, according to the newspaper.

On Monday, officials unveiled a plan that allocates an additional 35 million DKK (approximately $4.9 million) over the next four years to implement 12 targeted measures aimed at addressing longstanding issues facing the Greenlandic community.

A central component of the plan is the recognition of Greenlanders’ distinct identity. The government will now allow individuals to list their nationality as “Greenlandic” on their passports, acknowledging their unique cultural heritage within the Kingdom of Denmark.

Additional initiatives include enhancing interpretation services to bridge language barriers and fostering dialogue with educational institutions. Boarding schools will also engage in discussions to improve conditions for Greenlandic pupils, ensuring a more inclusive and supportive environment.

“Racism and discrimination against Greenlanders in Denmark are a separate problem,”said Minister of Immigration and Integration Kaare Dybvad Bek, according to The Copenhagen Post.

Greenlandic Member of Parliament Aaja Chemnitz of the Inuit Ataqatigiit party welcomed the plan, the newspaper reports, describing it as an “important tool” for combating racism against not only Greenlanders but also other ethnic groups.

However, critics have noted thatDanish institutions have largely remained inactive on these issues until recent years, when the US began expressing heightened interest in Greenland, the Post writes. This includes US President Donald Trump’s controversial suggestion to purchase the territory, which drew international attention to Greenland’s strategic importance and its relationship with Denmark.

In a related development,Denmark has decided to discontinue the use of controversial “parenting competency” tests on Greenlandic families. These tests, part of child protection investigations, have been criticized for being culturally unsuitable and leading to the separation of children from Inuit parents. The government plans to replace the tests with a special unit knowledgeable in Greenlandic culture to assist municipalities in related cases.

https://www.rt.com/news/611800-denmark-greenland-racism/

Denmark is admitting they treated Greenlanders like shit for many, many years!And they have. The only way they would get any respect is when Trump made the country and people an issue.

She’s back…..

Crooked New York Attorney General Letitia James announced today that her office has filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump and his administration for the unlawful freeze of federal grants and loans.

As The Gateway Pundit reported this morning, President Donald Trump’s administration has enacted a temporary suspension of all federal grants and loans, effective today, Tuesday, January 28, 2025.

This initiative reflects Trump’s unwavering commitment to fiscal responsibility and his dedication to eliminating wasteful spending.

Agencies faced a 5 p.m. ET deadline to comply with a memo from the White House Office of Management and Budget to cease spending on any grant or loan programs. Now, Democrats are springing into action to stop him.

Another commie judge stopping Trump from doing his job!

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge on Tuesday temporarily blocked a push from President Donald Trump to pause federal funding while his administration conducts an across-the-board ideological review to uproot progressive initiatives.

The Trump administration plan plunged the U.S. government into panic and confusion and set the stage for a constitutional clash over control of taxpayer money.

AUSTIN, TEXAS: "Texas Governor Greg Abbott is directing DPS to send out its tactical strike team to help President Trump's homeland security operations locating and arresting "criminal" migrants in the state illegally. The DPS tactical strike team is going to be helping the newly-established Homeland Security Task Force as they aim to arrest 5,400 migrants with active warrants across Texas. The strike team includes DPS troopers, Special Agents, and Texas Rangers, according to a news release sent out by the Governor's Office today.

“Texas is expanding our operations to assist President Donald Trump to protect Americans and enforce the rule of law,” said Governor Abbott. “Today, I directed the Texas Department of Public Safety to deploy tactical strike teams to work alongside our federal partners to enforce immigration laws throughout the state. These teams will coordinate with Homeland Security agencies to track down the thousands of illegal immigrants with active warrants across Texas and deport them from our country. After four years of failed policies, Texas finally has a partner in President Trump. Together, we will end this crisis and make America safe once again.”

Yesterday, ABC-7 reported that Abbott was sending 400 troops and other military assistance to help President Trump's efforts along the border in Texas."

“Reliable” NATO Ally Sánchez Refuses to Spend on Defense

Despite being a vocal supporter of military and financial aid to Ukraine, the Spanish PM appears unwilling to prioritise Europe’s self-defence capability.

Nick Hallett — January 27, 2025

As NATO chief Mark Rutte visits Madrid to meet Spanish leader Pedro Sánchez, criticism mounts overSpain’s lacklustre defence spending, which remains the lowest among NATO’s 32 members]]. Despite being a vocal supporter of military and financial aid to Ukraine, Sánchez appears unwilling to prioritise Europe’s self-defence capability==.

Spain’s military expenditure, at just 1.28% of GDP, is far below NATO’s recommended 2% threshold—a target most alliance members have already achieved. While Sánchez has pledged to reach this level by 2029, Rutte recently emphasised the urgency of bolstering collective defence, warning that NATO cannot afford further delays. “Those who are not at 2% have to get to 2% in a couple of months,” Rutte said at the World Economic Forum.

Sánchez insists that Spain is a “reliable” NATO ally and has boasted about a 70% increase in defence spending over the past decade. Yet critics argue this is still nowhere near enough given the escalating security threats in Europe. Spain’s geography, distant from NATO’s eastern flank, and its historical aversion to militarism—rooted in the legacy of Francisco Franco’s dictatorship—have contributed to public scepticism about defence investments.

Spain’s relatively tiny defence budget also comes despite public spending rising to record levels. In the second quarter of 2024, it reached an all-time high of €75.52 billion.However, much of this has gone on socialist welfare policies rather than defence.

The debate is not isolated to Spain. In the UK, Prime Minister Keir Starmer is also resisting calls from U.S. president Donald Trump to raise military spending to 2.5% of GDP, citing strained public finances—a concern that was conspicuously lacking when he recently made lofty promises of support to Ukraine’s Volodymyr ZelenskyWhile acknowledging the need for increased defence investment, he is currently only committed to a strategic review.

As Rutte’s visit highlights, Sánchez’s reluctance to prioritise defence spending jeopardises Europe’s security and undermines NATO’s cohesion. His unwavering support for Ukraine contrasts sharply with his apparent indifference to building Europe’s defence capability, a stance that leaves allies questioning Spain’s long-term reliability.

Trump signs order aiming to limit gender transitions for minors

By Chris Williams

Published January 28, 2025 5:04pm CST

The Brief

Trump's executive order bans federal programs like Medicaid and TRICARE from covering gender-affirming care for minors and urges legal action to oppose the practice.

The order may lead to funding cuts for hospitals and universities providing such care and challenges state Medicaid programs covering it.

Critics expect court challenges as this aligns with Trump's broader rollback of transgender protections, including bans on military service and recognition of nonbinary identities.

What is in the executive order:

The order directs that federally-run insurance programs, including TRICARE for military families and Medicaid, exclude coverage for such care, and calls on the Department of Justice to vigorously pursue litigation and legislation to oppose the practice.

"Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child’s sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions," the order read. "This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end."

Medicaid programs in some states cover gender-affirming care. The new order suggests that practice could end and target hospitals and universities that receive federal money and provide the care.

What they're saying:

"It is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called 'transition' of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures," Trump said in a statement.

What's next:

The order is likely to be challenged in court.

Big picture view:

It’s the latest push by Trump to reverse policies set by the Biden administration to protect transgender people and their care. On Monday, Trump directed the Pentagon to conduct a review that is likely to lead to them being barred from military service.

Hours after taking office last week, Trump signed another order that seeks to define sex as only male or female, not recognizing transgender, nonbinary or intersex people or the idea that gender can be fluid. Already that's resulted in the State Department halting issuing passports with an "X" gender markers, forcing transgender people to apply for travel documents with markers that don't match their identities.

Why you should care:

Even as transgender people have gained visibility and acceptance in some fronts, they've become major targets for social conservatives. In recent years, at least 26 states have adopted laws restricting or banning gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors. And most of those states face lawsuits, including one over Tennessee's ban that's pending before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Republican-controlled states have also moved to keep transgender women and girls from competing in women's or girls sports and to dictate which bathrooms transgender people can use, particularly in schools.

The Source: The Associated Press contributed to this report. The information in this story also came from an official statement made by President Donald Trump, outlining the details of his executive order on restricting gender transitions for individuals under 19. This story was reported from Los Angeles.

Russian Nuclear Icebreaker Sustains Damage In Arctic Collision with Cargo Ship

Malte Humpert

January 28, 2025

Russian nuclear icebreaker 50 Let Pobedy (50 Years of Victory) suffered significant damage to its hull in a collision with a cargo ship while operating on the Northern Sea Route. Photos of the incident show a deep gash on the vessel’s port side near its bow.

The incident occurred on the night of January 26 in the Kara Sea while maintaining winter shipping lanes and escorting a cargo vessel. Based on AIS data 50 Let Pobedy likely collided with the 20,144 dwt dry bulk cargo ship Yamal Krechet en route to the Ob Bay. The condition of Yamal Krechet is unknown. Nuclear icebreakers also routinely escort LNG carriers and oil tankers along the waters of Ob Bay during winter.

According to Russia’s operator of nuclear icebreakers, Atomflot, 50 Let Pobedy remains seaworthy and continues operating in Ob Bay. The damaged section is not proximate to the vessel’s nuclear reactor and the power plant continues operating normally, Atomflot confirmed on its Telegram channel.

It is unclear if the vessel will complete its regular stint of winter icebreaking services or will return to Murmansk early to undergo repairs.

50 Let Pobedy is one of eight Russian nuclear icebreakers in service. It was laid down in 1989, but it did not enter into service until 2007 due to an extended work stoppage following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Prior to the entry into service of the new Arktika-class nuclear icebreakers in 2020, 50 Let Pobedy was the world’s largest nuclear icebreaker.

The incident is not the first collision between a nuclear icebreaker and a cargo ship. In 2017 nuclear icebreaker Vaygach collided with handymax bulk carrier Nordic Barents also in the Kara Sea. Both vessels were able to continue their journey at that time.

In July 2010 two fully-loaded Russian tankers, the Indiga and the Varzuga, collided in medium ice conditions and poor visibility. Neither ship lost seaworthiness and no oil spills were reported, in part thanks to their heavy ice-classification 1A Super with double hull.

Recently Russia started sending non-ice class oil tankers and cargo ships via the Northern Sea Route, frequently in violation of the IMO’s Polar Code and the country’s own Arctic shipping regulations.

By Garrett Haake and Amanda Terkel

President Donald Trump's administration is offering federal workers the chance to take a "deferred resignation" with a severance package of roughly eight months of pay and benefits.

A senior administration official told NBC News that they expect 5%-10% of the federal workforce to quit, which, they estimate, could lead to around $100 billion in savings.

All full-time federal employees are eligible, except for members of the military, employees of the U.S. Postal Service, positions related to immigration enforcement and national security and other jobs excluded by agencies.

"American taxpayers pay for the salaries of federal government employees, and therefore deserve employees working on their behalf who actually show up to work in our wonderful federal buildings, also paid for by taxpayers," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. "If they don’t want to work in the office and contribute to making America great again, then they are free to choose a different line of work, and the Trump Administration will provide a very generous payout of 8 months."

Axios first reported the buyout offer.

We’re looking to hear from federal government workers. If you’re willing to talk with us, please email us at tips@nbcuni.com or contact us through one of these methods.

The offer went out to the federal workforce through a new system the Trump administration set up that gives officials the ability to email all federal employees at once.

The email included a draft resignation letter for them to review. If a person wishes to resign, they will be able to reply with the word "resign."

The resignation period will begin Tuesday and go through Feb. 6.

"If you choose to remain in your current position, we thank you for your renewed focus on serving the American people to the best of your abilities and look forward to working together as part of an improved federal workforce," the email that will be sent to federal workers reads. "At this time, we cannot give you full assurance regarding the certainty of your position or agency but should your position be eliminated you will be treated with dignity and will be afforded the protections in place for such positions."

Tech billionaire Elon Musk, who is now in charge of Trump's new Department of Government Efficiency, famously sent a similar email to employees shortly after he took over Twitter, which he renamed X, asking them to opt in to keep working at the company.

White House officials wouldn't say whether he was involved in the current effort. But the subject line of the email that will be sent to federal workers is: "Fork in the Rroad."

Musk now has a post pinned on X of an art piece he commissioned called "A Fork in the Road."
