It’s been almost exactly one year since Trevor Milton, the founder of now-bankrupt electric truck startup Nikola, was pardoned by President Trump. Now the Wall Street Journal has published one of the first deep dives into Milton’s new effort: trying to build autonomous planes.

Milton and an “investment group” purchased a downtrodden aviation company called SyberJet Aircraft late last year and he has spent the time since trying to turn the company around. That involves bringing in “dozens” of former Nikola staff, soliciting possible investors from Saudi Arabia, and spending a few hundred thousand dollars on lobbying, according to the report.

Oh this sounds perfectly safe. What could possibly go wrong?

Some cities are opting out of camera networks like Flock’s, concerned about abuse by police and immigration authorities. Organizers hope Dane County is the “next big domino” to fall.

The same judge ruled this month that Lake's appointment as head of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which oversees VOA, violated federal law.

A federal judge ruled Tuesday that the U.S. Agency for Global Media must reverse its decision that put more than 1,000 Voice of America employees on leave, dealing a blow to the Trump administration's efforts to gut VOA.

The same judge recently said the appointment of Trump ally Kari Lake, who oversaw the job cuts as head of USAGM, violated federal law.

U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth said Tuesday that Lake “repeatedly thumbed her nose” at statutory requirements and that the Trump administration has “made no effort to defend the merits” of its downsizing decision.
