Given that the NM attorney general has opened up a criminal investigation into allegations of illegal activity at Epstein’s Zorro Ranch, the AG is now asking for survivors to come forward and tell their stories.

Susan Collins is a rubber stamp for the worst admin in history. Claims that I would endorse her, implicitly or otherwise, ignore my track record supporting Democrats to take back both chambers. As I said months ago, I find Platner's Nazi tattoo and his commentary about it personally disqualifying. If it were me I'd vote for someone else in the Maine Democratic primary. Regardless of what happens in Maine, Democrats need to take back the Senate and I'll keep working hard to make it happen.

Jony Ive: Using touchscreens for basic car controls is a 'dumb design' that endangers lives. "People are dying because of dumb design." "Multi-touch shouldn't be in a car. It requires by definition that you're looking at a display." When the man who popularized the touchscreen admits putting an iPad in your dashboard is a deadly mistake, automakers must listen. I grew up in cars with analog switches, and I miss them. You could operate the radio or the climate control by pure muscle memory while keeping your eyes on the road. Now, the data backs up that everyday frustration. A University of Washington study proves touchscreens cause lane drifting. Starting in 2026, Euro NCAP will actually strip 5-star safety ratings from cars that refuse to use physical buttons for basic controls. We sacrificed safe, intuitive hardware for flat screens. It is time to bring the buttons back. Source: Cleo Abram
