"Airlines, airports, and air traffic control are interconnected, so the East Coast problems rippled across the country, contributing to over 1,000 delays at LAX, San Diego, San Francisco, and other airports across California." — @marcscribner

"Reason finds a clear pattern at the state level. Northeastern and Pacific states are weighed down by legacy pension shortfalls, generous benefits, and spending that has outrun revenue. New Jersey triggers six of eight red flags—the worst in the nation."

Harm reduction strategies are just one part of reducing drug overdoses, and it is misguided to blame them for broader problems.

The U.S. needs an air traffic control system that replaces equipment before it fails. The FAA’s costly, outdated model isn't keeping up with maintenance or modernization efforts.

As states begin to receive payments from the Meta settlement, @itsRaiderRich argues that these proceeds should be kept out of general revenue and not budgeted for vague “remedial purposes.”

This week’s massive number of flight cancellations and delays, caused by basic equipment failures and a construction crew error, also show the dire state of U.S. air traffic control.

State AGs are claiming their $18B Meta settlement as a victory, but where will the $$ go once it reaches the states? Will it really go to help young people, or will it be squandered on unrelated programs, like payments from other settlements have?

Power outages. Famine. Censorship. This is what socialism did to a once-prosperous nation.

The Philly TRACON outage is a reminder that the problem is not just ancient FAA equipment that breaks—it’s the entire obsolete U.S. air traffic control model.

State attorneys general call Meta’s settlement over alleged harm to young users a victory. But states must back that claim by spending the money on mental health care, support for families facing online harm, and youth safety, writes @itsRaiderRich.

The FAA hired Peraton to help coordinate air traffic control modernization, but eight months later, experts question whether the inexperienced contractor is delivering value to justify its $1.5 billion cost, Robert Poole writes.

Youth vaping is declining, not rising, Guy Bentley writes.
So why are lawmakers proposing another $500 million to fight a so-called “epidemic” that the data shows has actually been shrinking for years?

RIP, TSA Gold+. We hardly knew ye.
My latest @ReasonFdn examines the demise of the TSA’s ambitious airport security screening modernization effort.
This experience suggests that Congress, rather than the agency, must lead successful modernization efforts.

Short‑term rentals are neither the root cause of today’s housing affordability challenges nor uniquely responsible for neighborhood disruptions. Rising housing costs stem from local land-use systems failing to permit enough new homes to meet demand. buff.ly/aSN89UY

New York’s Earned Time Act could improve prison safety, reduce repeat offenses, strengthen reentry, and save taxpayers an estimated $5.6 billion by rewarding good behavior and participation in rehabilitation programs.
