Stephen Colbert has a blunt reply suggestion for Elon Musks DOGE email

Elon Musk wants federal workers to tell him what they've been doing recently via email or risk losing their jobs, and his request has resulted in some inevitable trolling. In the Late Show video above, Stephen Colbert gets gleefully in on the action.

Arizona plane collision raises questions about air traffic control towers. Here’s what to know

Of the 5,100 public airports across the United States, only about 10% have control towers staffed by people who direct the flow of traffic.

Tens of thousands of planes take off, land, and perform touch-and-goes at the Marana Regional Airport in southern Arizona every year. Without an air traffic control tower, it’s a calculated dance that requires communication by pilots.
