I’m wondering why they filmed themselves on this trip to Israel and put this out, and why they said they were too busy with their kids to be able to show up for court.

🚨Breaking: Disgraced journalist Charlie LeDuff was arrested on domestic violence charges last night.
No shock to us that a man who would publicly call a woman a CU*T got violent. 👇

Just asked Mitch McConnell about Trump’s “poisoning the blood” comments.

“Well it strikes me that didn’t bother him when he appointed Elaine Chao Secretary of Transportation,” he said, referring to his wife

.@mkraju: “Are you comfortable with your party's leading presidential candidate referring to legal immigrants as people who are poisoning the blood of our country?”

Mitch McConnell: “That didn't bother him when he appointed [my wife] Elaine Chao Secretary of Transportation.”

The video, featuring a cat named Taters, was sent back from nearly 19 million miles away by NASA’s laser communications demonstration, marking a historic milestone.

NASA’s Deep Space Optical Communications experiment beamed an ultra-high definition streaming video on Dec. 11 from a record-setting 19 million miles away (31 million kilometers, or about 80 times the Earth-Moon distance). The milestone is part of a NASA technology demonstration aimed at streaming very high-bandwidth video and other data from deep space – enabling future human missions beyond Earth orbit.

“This accomplishment underscores our commitment to advancing optical communications as a key element to meeting our future data transmission needs,” said NASA Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy. “Increasing our bandwidth is essential to achieving our future exploration and science goals, and we look forward to the continued advancement of this technology and the transformation of how we communicate during future interplanetary missions.”

The demo transmitted the 15-second test video via a cutting-edge instrument called a flight laser transceiver. The video signal took 101 seconds to reach Earth, sent at the system’s maximum bit rate of 267 megabits per second (Mbps). Capable of sending and receiving near-infrared signals, the instrument beamed an encoded near-infrared laser to the Hale Telescope at Caltech’s Palomar Observatory in San Diego County, California, where it was downloaded. Each frame from the looping video was then sent “live” to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, where the video was played in real time.

I’m genuinely surprised how people close to Trump haven’t talked about the odor.

It’s truly something to behold. Wear a mask if you can

Aljazeera Arabic have a live counter (5 hours and 20 minutes) of how long it's been since cameraman Samer Abu Daqqa was injured by an Israeli drone strike.
Medics have tried repeatedly to get to Samer and save him but Israeli forces keep shooting at them.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the devastating news of the loss of our dedicated Al Jazeera cameraman Samer Abu Dakka during the recent coverage in Gaza in an Israeli airstrike. His unwavering commitment to truth and storytelling has left an indelible mark on our team. Samer, whose lens captured the raw and unfiltered reality of life in Gaza, was not just a skilled professional but a compassionate soul who understood the power of visual storytelling. His courage in the face of adversity allowed the world to witness the untold stories of a region grappling with complex challenges.
