ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
Nice shot, Ned!
A man is on his phone in a Lufthansa Allegris aisle-side seat
Lufthansa can now seat passengers 25 out of 28 seats in its Allegris business class cabins on its 787s — up from just 4 — now that all but three in the second row are FINALLY certified by the FAA.

Despite a historic reserve of launch capacity and deep investmentsin launch infrastructure, Amazon Leo has faced a shortage in the near-term availability of launches. This shortage has been driven by manufacturing disruptions, the failure and grounding of new launch vehicles, and limitations in spaceport capacity. Because Amazon Leo is producing satellites considerably faster than others can launch them, it has adjusted its rate of satellite production to match its launch manifest and built facilities spanning hundreds of thousands of square feet near its manufacturing and launch sites to store hundreds of already-built-and-ready-to-launch satellites
News: Amazon has asked the FCC for a two-year extension in the deadline to get half of its satellite broadband constellation in orbit. The rockets that Leo - formerly Kuiper - needs aren't ready. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Excellent story, brilliant graphic. I'd propose a slightly different hed: No Margin For Safety
BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.
For the last few months, I've been working on a story about January's crash near Washington, D.C. What I learned was that it was simply an accident waiting to happen.
Special Report: The night everything at DCA finally went wrong (via @theaircurrent.com) theaircurrent.com/aviation-saf...
Breaking News: The Trump administration is sharing all air travelers’ names with ICE officials to find people with deportation orders.
Am I the only one who misses the Lufthansa yellow?
NEW investigative report: "Things will get really nasty." Hedge funds. Brokerages. Billionaires. Jeffrey Epstein’s financial ties on and off Wall Street were broader than previously known, a cache of emails @bloomberg.com obtained earlier this year reveals

The rideshare shuttle, LAXit, is worse.
