They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

The US Department of Transportation is significantly loosening crash reporting requirements, according to a new framework released today.
It’s a boon for the automotive industry as a whole—and for Elon Musk’s Tesla in particular.

In a Boon for Tesla, Feds Weaken Rules for Reporting on Self-Driving
A new autonomous vehicle framework would also make it easier for Tesla and other companies to research domestically-made self-driving cars that don’t meet all federal safety standards.

Independent media are lifelines for democracy & open societies.
At @europarl.europa.eu this week, I reaffirmed my commitment to stand up for free media like Radio Free Europe. Failing to protect them, we hand a victory to autocrats.
In 🇪🇺, where freedom prevails, we can never allow this to happen.

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff
