Press freedom is non-negotiable. The moment we allow any administration—Republican or Democrat—to dictate who gets to hold them accountable, we compromise the foundation of our democracy. Now more than ever, we must stand up for the principles that protect our right to a free and independent press.

It feels like no one should have to say this, and yet we are in a situation where it needs to be said, very loudly and clearly, before it’s too late to do anything about it: The United States is not a startup. If you run it like one, it will break.

While I'm snowbound, my colleagues are living it up at #CES. In fact, given that @kimberlylancaster.bsky.social has had TSA Pre-Check yanked out from under her by an untimely expiration, we may just have to open up a new Caster branch out there.
The Caster crew is crushing CES 2025. Day 1 highlights:
🍳 Avi Rosenthal at the Z-Wave influencer breakfast (Venetian L2 - Titian 2202).
💡 Brandon Doyle's tour of Shelly Group Gen4 (Venetian Expo – 51223).
🎧 Press diving into audio at Knowles.
🔥 Z-Wave & Silicon Labs fireside chat on ZWLR.
