FAA says Newark airport's technology problems should be resolved by October
The head of the Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday he's 'confident' the technology issues at troubled Newark Liberty International Airport will be resolved by October. 'The (transportation) secretary has been very clear with me that we need to fix this, and we're fixing this now,' Chris Rocheleau, the acting head of the FAA, told a House budget hearing Wednesday. 'The second piece to that is the staffing. I think by October, we will be very healthy in there at staffing levels that we need.' The FAA transferred air traffic control over Newark to a Philadelphia facility last July from New York, where it was previously located, a move seen as controversial by many controllers and the union that represents them. Rocheleau's remarks, before the House Appropriations subcommittee on transportation, come after the New Jersey airport experienced four air traffic control system outages in recent weeks, leaving pilots and controllers without communication at times. Those outages came amid ongoing staffing shortages for controllers and the construction of a runway, which was completed this week, earlier than anticipated. 'With the runway completed, we'll continue our work to harden the telecoms infrastructure and improving the staffing pipeline for the airspace,' said Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy in a statement. The aging infrastructure and technology are some of the problems that could plague summer travel as Newark's airport tries to get back to flying at full capacity. Experts warn to typically expect disruptions during summer travel due to the volume of travelers at US airports, but the added pressure on the system could cause delays or cancelations. Last month, the Department of Transportation announced plans to build out a new air traffic control system. Part of that includes strengthening the existing infrastructure at Newark for a seamless summer of travel. A new fiber optic cable is now in place between Philadelphia and New York to improve air traffic control telecommunications. The FAA is seeking a company to build out the new system, the Department of Transportation said Wednesday. The agency issued a Request for Information for a company to implement a 'brand new air traffic control system over the next three years.' It identified five areas of interest for a new system: telecommunications, radio communications, surveillance, automation and facilities. Duffy has not disclosed how much the project would cost but has said he's counting on Congress to deliver funding. It's also unclear how this will impact Verizon's contract with the FAA to modernize the system. Verizon has a $2.4 billion contract to provide a long-sought upgrade to the FAA's communications system, known as the FAA Enterprise Network Services, or FENS, program. CNN reached out to the Department of Transportation for comment.

The massive cannabis regulation overhaul that just passed unanimously in Massachusetts
The House approved a significant overhaul of marijuana oversight in Massachusetts on Wednesday, passing a bill that would downsize and reorient the scandal-hounded Cannabis Control Commission that has kept tabs on the legal industry since it launched almost eight years ago. The bill (H 4187), which passed 153-0 just before 4 p.m., would also regulate and tax hemp-based products, raise a cap on retail license control and make structural changes to the medical marijuana side of the industry. 'Overall, this bill provides comprehensive and reasonable reform measures to our existing cannabis laws,' Cannabis Policy Committee Chairman Daniel Donahue said on the House floor. 'We are pursuing these reforms because we want our cannabis industry to succeed and thrive, and because we want to live up to the promises explicit in our commitment to social equity when recreational cannabis was first legalized.' Frustration with the slow pace of regulatory changes, headline-grabbing internal conflicts at the CCC, and a plea from the inspector general for the Legislature to intervene at the 'rudderless agency' combined last summer to get lawmakers thinking more seriously about a response. House Speaker Ronald Mariano recounted Wednesday how he went to Donahue last year to say 'we're going to have to fix this' as Treasurer Deborah Goldberg's removal of CCC chairwoman Shannon O'Brien dragged on in the courts and shined a light on internal strife at the CCC. That led to a series of hearings and conversations that resulted in the bill before the House on Wednesday. 'It got us where we thought we had to take it away from the treasurer,' Mariano said. Today, the CCC is a five-commissioner independent body, with appointments made singularly and jointly by the governor, attorney general and treasurer, with the treasurer selecting the chair. Under the House-approved bill, the CCC would be consolidated entirely under the governor. The state's executive would appoint all three commissioners and select one of them to serve as chair (who would be the only full-time commissioner). The CCC would be 'subject to the laws applicable to agencies under the control of the governor.' Asked what makes the CCC's existing model unworkable, Mariano said it was a structural problem but gave a conflicted explanation. 'It was created by a ballot question that had no rhyme or reason to it ... there was no accountability,' he said. The speaker, who started his scrum with reporters by raising the subject of 'legislation by referendum' and the trend of advocates going around a slow-moving Legislature to make laws at the statewide ballot, added, 'We've been railing against government by referendum, and this is a perfect example why it doesn't work.' The CCC's existing structure is largely modeled on the Gaming Commission, where five full-time members with specific areas of expertise are appointed by the governor, treasurer and attorney general. But Mariano claimed Wednesday that 'the problem is they weren't written by the same people.' 'The gaming stuff was written by House people,' he said. 'The people in the marketplace wrote this bill, and they weren't interested in controlling it, in making sure there was accountability up and down the line. As a matter of fact, this was a rush to get into the market. Everyone thought they were going to get rich.' The 2016 ballot law that legalized non-medical marijuana here called for a three-person Cannabis Control Commission entirely under the control of the state treasurer, similar to the structure the House is pursuing with the bill it passed Wednesday. By the time the Legislature delayed and then rewrote that law in the summer of 2017, lawmakers had decided to move the CCC onto an independent footing, expand it to five commissioners and split appointment authority three ways. Mariano, who was the majority leader at the time, was the lead House negotiator on the 2017 law that structured the CCC. The structure that was put in place largely mirrored the House's approach to standing up the CCC. 'This is legislation by referendum, and this is the problem: no one really focused on the writing of the ballot question on how this would be administered. And when it hit, the public had no idea what the problems were going to be and where they were going to be,' Mariano said Wednesday. Last summer, Inspector General Jeffrey Shapiro's office said it determined that the Legislature's 2017 rewrite of the 2016 ballot law 'is unclear and self-contradictory and provides minimal guidance on the authority and responsibilities of the CCC's commissioners and staff.' The office said its review of the Legislature's 2017 rewrite 'affirmed that this confusion has contributed significantly to the current situation at the CCC.' Mariano was not available to clarify his comments Wednesday afternoon, but a spokesperson sent a statement saying his 'main point was that the Legislature was responding to a law that was passed by a referendum, which created a new industry outside of the typical legislative process, forcing the Legislature to address a number of unknowns.' 'In order to safely and effectively carry out the will of the voters, the Legislature has been forced to revise the original language multiple times.' Mariano spokesperson Ana Vivas said. 'The legislation that the House is voting on today is better because of what we have learned since 2016, and establishes a new structure, different from the one that the ballot initiative spelled out.' The bill the House passed Wednesday also seeks to address intoxicating hemp-based products that largely fall into a gray area of the law and between the regulatory cracks by banning their sale without a license and setting up a new framework to regulate and tax them. Hemp beverages could only be sold by retailers licensed by the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission to sell all alcohol and all hemp-based products would need to be registered with the CCC. 'This ban and accompanying regulatory structure will help provide guidance and clarity on hemp products, removing those which are unregulated, of unknown origin or composition, and too easily accessible to minors,' Donahue said Wednesday. The House bill adjusts the existing cap on retail licenses any one operator can hold. The current limit is three, and the House bill would raise the cap on retail licenses to six over a three-year period (increasing first to four, a year later to five and finally to six). Opponents of that idea have slammed it as a 'gift to corporate cannabis and a death sentence for local and social equity businesses.' The existing three-license caps would remain in place for cultivation and manufacturing. On the medical side of the legal marijuana world, the bill eliminates the requirement that medical marijuana businesses be 'vertically integrated,' meaning they must grow and process all the marijuana they sell. Patients and advocates have been calling for that change for years, saying the medical-only options have become scarce across Massachusetts since cannabis was legalized for non-medical use.

GOP Leadership Not Worried About Forcing Members To Go On Record On Worst Of DOGE
The White House finally sent over a rescissions package request — a move the administration has been dragging its feet on for months — asking Republicans in Congress to swallow a chunk of the sweeping cuts that Elon Musk has enacted with his DOGE destruction so far this year. While the request only includes a portion of the congressionally authorized federal funding that the Trump administration has lawlessly rescinded or frozen since Trump was sworn back into the White House, it includes some of the most damaging foreign aid cuts of the last few months. It conveniently does not include the most unpopular-at-home cuts to things like medical research, which has caused even some of the most ardently MAGA Republicans in Congress to shudder due to the toll they could take on institutions that employ many voters back home. And, so, Republican leadership is not at all concerned, apparently, with forcing members of their conference to choke down these efforts to gut foreign aid, reproductive rights resources abroad, and publicly funded media before midterms campaigning kicks into gear. We're expecting to hear some unease from Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) about the constitutionally backward demand from the Trump administration. Both Republican senators also tend to oppose attacks on women's health care, at least publicly. But in order to pass, the rescissions package only requires simple majority support in the House and the Senate, meaning Republican leadership won't need Collins' or Murkowski's votes to shove the whole thing through. If any other vulnerable House or Senate Republicans take issue with rescinding the $9.4 billion in federal spending that they appropriated, they've not yet vocalized those concerns. Among the cuts to foreign aid programs covered by the package are cuts specifically to those programs designed to support LGBTQ communities. It also includes cuts to federal education and transportation funds, reproductive health care programs and funding for the World Health Organization. It includes $142 million in cuts to UNICEF, $9 million in cuts to the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief and guts $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's budget. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has already vowed to soon take action on the package. House Speaker Mike Johnson promised the same, applauding the White House for stripping federal funding from NPR and PBS, a pipe dream Republicans in Congress have been salivating over for decades. Here's House Republican leadership's statement: 'Today, the House has officially received the rescissions request from the White House to eliminate $9.4 billion in wasteful foreign aid spending at the State Department and USAID and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds NPR and PBS. 'Now that this wasteful spending by the federal government has been identified by DOGE, quantified by the Administration, and sent to Congress, House Republicans will fulfill our mandate and continue codifying into law a more efficient federal government. This is exactly what the American people deserve. 'Next week, we will put the rescissions bill on the floor of the House and encourage all our Members to support this commonsense measure.' Regardless of how this all might come back to bite them in the midterms, the embrace of the rescissions package before its brought to a vote is illustrative of Republican leadership's eagerness to strip the legislative branch of its own authority during Trump II — by lending an air of legitimacy to what was, originally, an illegitimate and likely in many ways illegal process. Even after the Ivy League school bent the knee on a litany of other demands from the Trump administration, the Department of Education is now attacking Columbia University's accreditation. Arguing the school is violating federal anti-discrimination laws (because students in support of Palestinians have continued to speak about their beliefs and protest on campus), Education Secretary Linda McMahon urged the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, which accredits Columbia, to 'take appropriate action' against the school. McMahon also claimed that 'Columbia University's leadership acted with deliberate indifference towards the harassment of Jewish students on its campus,' despite the fact that, at the Trump administration's demand, it has cracked down on speech that draws attention to the plight of the Palestinian people, and is even considering curriculum changes. A new estimate from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office predicts House Republicans' reconciliation package would grow the federal deficit by $2.4 trillion over a decade. House Republican leadership almost immediately pushed back on the CBO's estimate. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) slammed the CBO report at a press conference Wednesday morning. 'I get that we got to play by the rules of the referee, but the referee's been wrong. We've got a referee that tries to sack our quarterback a lot,' Scalise said. The White House also pushed back against the impending assessment before the CBO even released its finding today, defending the bill and accusing CBO of being 'lefty.' Republicans tend to only criticize the legitimacy of the nonpartisan CBO when it's their own party's legislation getting assessed. Despite the downplaying, the score might still impact the Senate's decision making as Senate Republicans are now working on making changes to the bill. Several Senate Republicans have already indicated they think the bill adds too much to the deficit. 'I refuse to accept $2 trillion-plus deficits as far as the eye can see as the new normal. We have to address that problem, and unfortunately this bill doesn't do so,' Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), a member of the Senate Finance Committee, said during an ABC News interview following the CBO release. Johnson added regardless of individual CBO scores, the trajectory of deficits and debt is 'hard to dispute.' — Emine Yücel This Russian Dissident Won Political Asylum. ICE Refuses To Release Him.
