Good news! Last night a court ordered the federal government to return the search-and-rescue helicopter to Newport while the lawsuit is underway.
This is a big win for public safety in our coastal communities – and a reminder that the government must follow the law.

Scott Bessent on CNBC this morning made sweeping criticisms of the regional Fed presidents. One scenario often discussed among analysts is that a Trump-controlled Fed board could decline to reappoint all the presidents when their terms expire at the end of February.
