NWS offices did issue warnings when tornadoes were imminent, however. Democratic Sens. Gary Peters and Elissa Slotkin of Michigan sent a letter asking NWS Director Ken Graham why a watch was not issued, whether short staffing played a role and how the NWS planned to improve tornado alerts. A spokesperson said the NWS had written a response directly to the senators but did not share it with NBC News. Although the NWS…

By Joshua Tyler | Published 17 seconds ago No other genre falls victim to early cancellation more often than science fiction. Networks are notoriously impatient with anything that involves expensive special effects or sets, and SF is labor and cost-intensive.

Razing Hell / April 15, 2026 It’s not the kitschy White House ballroom—it’s logistics warehouses converted to ICE detention centers. Ad Policy This is not designed for people.(Getty) This article appears in the May 2026 issue, with the headline “ICE Palaces.” When Congress voted to expand the budget of Immigration and Customs Enforcement by $170 billion last July, it was inevitable that some of that money would be spent reshaping the built environment toward new and more sinister ends.

The California Supreme Court ordered attorney and former law school dean John Eastman disbarred on Wednesday for his role aiding the Trump administration’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election. The court ordered Eastman’s name be “stricken from the roll of attorneys” and that he pay $5,000 to the State Bar of California. Eastman’s attorney, Randall A.

Speaking to The Times at the Space Symposium 2026 conference, Mr. Isaacman presented nuclear power and propulsion not as options but as necessities for America to dominate the 21st-century space race. Those technologies are critical to establishing a permanent base on the moon and to possible human travel to Mars, he said. The current focus is the Space Reactor-1 Freedom program, a nuclear electric propulsion…
