  • How to watch President Trumps first address to Congress live for free
    www.fastcompany.com
    Like it or not, public speaking is a big part of any leaders job description, and even heads of state are not immune. President Donald Trump will address a joint session of Congress on Tuesday evening (March 4, 2025) for the first time since his second term began. It is technically not a State of the Union speech, but well get into all that and how to watch it live below: A brief history of the State of the UnionAmerican presidents are constitutionally mandated to give updates to Congress about the state of the union. The exact number and timing of these progress reports are not specified. In recent history, presidents tend to tackle this duty in late January or early February. George Washington set the precedent of giving a speech to a joint session of Congress and his successor, John Adams, followed his example. Thomas Jefferson broke this tradition and gave his updates via a written report because he didnt want to appear like a monarch. In 1913, Woodrow Wilson revived the in-person speech. In 1923, Calvin Coolidge brought the address to the radio. The first televised address was given by Harry Truman in 1947.Why isnt tonights speech a state of the union?Its a case of semantics. Because this is the first year of President Trumps second term, this is officially considered a joint address, even though the speech will be similar to a State of the Union. House Speaker Mike Johnson invited Trump via a letter sent in late January. It is expected that next year will be his first official State of the Union. What will Trump talk about?Given Trumps unpredictable nature, truly anything can happen. There are prominent issues that will most likely be covered, one of which involves a possible government shutdown. Federal funding is set to expire on March 14 with no clear plan in place to move forward. On February 27, Trump took to Truth Social and blamed former president Joe Biden for the lack of budget. Additionally, he endorsed a continuing resolution that would fund the government until September.Historically, presidents use their State of the Union or joint address speeches to ask Congress for support in carrying out their political agenda. President Trump does this less frequently than his predecessors. According to Hoffman and Howard, he never made more than 24 requests in his speeches, while the average is 31. Instead, Trump began his second term by issuing a record-breaking number of executive orders, some of which are already being challenged in court.Critics also believe that the creation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, may be unconstitutional, since Musk was not confirmed by the Senate. Meanwhile, Trumps quest to cut government spending is also on shaky constitutional grounds, because Congress is supposed to control the purse strings. Other diplomatic issues, such as newly imposed tariffs on Mexico and Canada and Trumps Oval Office disagreement with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine, might make the cut as well.How can I watch or stream Trumps speech tonight?The stage is set for an intriguing night of political theater. The speech is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. ET, but most networks will have some sort of pre-show coverage. (C-SPANs coverage begins at 8 p.m. ET.) Those with an over-the-air antenna or traditional cable subscription, you can tune into the network of your choosing. For those who cut the cord, live-TV streaming services that carry TV networks as part of a bundle will have the speech. Those include: FuboSlingYouTube TVHulu + Live TVFree live-streaming services from the major TV networks are another easy way to watch the speech if youre not paying for cable. Those include: NBC News NowABC News LiveCBS News Streaming NetworkAdditionally, NPR will cover the speech on your local station and the NPR app. It will also be broadcasting on YouTube, as will PBS NewsHour, which is also embedded below. Immediately following Trumps address, the Democrats will get their chance to weigh in. Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan will do the honors in English. Representative Adriano Espaillat of New Yorks 13th congressional district will respond in Spanish. Representative Lateefah Simon of Californias 12th district, technically a Democrat, is also speaking for the Working Families Party.

  • Casey Anthony joins TikTok and Substack to advocate for herself
    www.fastcompany.com
    More than a decade after Casey Anthony was accused of murdering her daughter in one of the countrys most notorious murder cases, this weekend she emerged on TikTok to reintroduce herself.This is my first of probably many recordings on a series that Im starting, Anthony says in the three-minute-long video recorded from her car. I am a legal advocate. I am a researcher. Ive been in the legal field since 2011 and in this capacity, I feel that its necessary, if Im going to continue to operate appropriately as a legal advocate, that I start to advocate for myself and also advocate for my daughter. @caseyanthony_substack Raw, uncut, unfiltered. Join me on Substack, https://substack.com/@therealcaseyanthony Its time we stand in the light together. #fyp original sound caseyanthony_substack Anthony became a national figure when her 2-year-old daughter went missing in the summer of 2008. The childs body was found in December of that same year in a wooded area behind the Orlando home of Anthonys parents. Anthony was ultimately found not guilty of her daughters murder in 2011, despite significant pushback from the public. She was, however, convicted of lying to law enforcement.In the TikTok video Anthony introduces viewers to her daughter Caylee Anthony and her parents, George and Cindy Anthony. This is not about them, she says. The whole point of this is for me to begin to reintroduce myself.Comments have been switched off but the video currently has over 3.3 million views at the time of writing. Anthony also used the video to announce shes launching a Substack newsletter, where she will give a voice to people and give people tools and resources that they can utilize. Anthony added that there will be an email address available for people to reach out to her on a limited basis regarding legal matters.As a proponent for the LGBTQ community, for legal community, womens rights, I feel that its important that I use this platform that was thrust upon me and now look at as a blessing, as opposed to the curse that it has been since 2008, she says.In her first post on the blogging platform, Anthony wrote that the presumption of innocence is a sacred right adding, that is not an opinion, it is a fact. We are plagued by a rush to judgment before someone even steps foot into a courtroom. Once a verdict is read, however long the process takes, the public must trust that the system worked the way it was intended.Comments remain open on her Substack posts, and Anthony has proven willing to respond. Hitting back at one of the comments, she wrote, Sadly, if you were to ever be put in a position where you would need a legal defense, you would want someone like me helping to represent you. Someone who knows what its like to be accused.

  • A Chest-Mounted Smartphone Case for Soldiers and Police
    www.core77.com
    Thyrm is an American company founded by Andrew Frazier, a former medical device designer. Frazier has shifted course towards designing tactical gear, like this DarkVault 2.0. It's a chest-mounted rig for holding smartphones, designed to be used in "austere" environments encountered by the military or police. The ruggedized case flips open at the bottom, allowing the user to view the screen. Snapped shut, it protects against dust, dirt and water. Users can choose to expose a transparent portion of the case, allowing them to use their smartphone as a bodycam. It can also be used to hold other sensitive equipment. Thyrm sells the case in two different sizes, and in two different flavors: A Comms version that allows the phone to receive a signal, and a Blocking version that isolates the phone from transmitting (presumably to prevent interception). These run $90 for the size Regular, and $95 for the Large.

  • Mobile refrigerator concept bridges isolation with shared meals
    www.yankodesign.com
    There are a lot of cultures where sharing food is its own very savory love language. Its more than just sustenance but a way to connect with family members, friends, and even make new acquaintances. The act of sharing a meal is one indication that were human and strengthens the bonds we may or may not already have. However, as people get older, mobility becomes limited and so this aspect of sharing is lessened which eventually leads to a diminished sense of community. Designer: Junho HanAmity is a concept for a relationship-assisted mobile refrigerator designed to empower individuals, especially seniors, to share meals and maintain vital social ties, regardless of physical limitations. It understands that sharing food is about more than exchanging calories; its about giving and receiving warmth, fostering a sense of belonging, and maintaining meaningful relationships. As seniors age and face mobility challenges, the simple act of preparing and delivering a meal to a neighbor can become insurmountable. The idea is for it to deliver food to another person through a robot-like device, therefore fostering the sense of belonging that sharing food brings. It is able to deliver human-cooked meals on behalf of these not so mobile individuals so they can share the joy of food and connection even though they may have some physical constraints. For seniors with limited mobility, Amity offers a lifeline, allowing them to participate in the cherished tradition of sharing meals and building relationships. The platform facilitates intergenerational connections, enabling younger generations to share homemade meals with their elders, fostering a sense of community and mutual support. This mobile refrigerator makes sure that the food is fresh and also safe during its transport. The lidar sensors makes sure that the food is stable and prevents spills to make sure that the meals arrive intact. It also is able to adjust its height automatically for easy access so that it can accommodate various statures and mobility limitations. It also has a two-way opening so you can access heavy food items easily. In case theres an unexpected situation, it has an emergency stop button. The sender can also include personal messages through the device fostering that much needed connection that the robot can bring. Amity represents a paradigm shift in how we approach food delivery and social connection. Its a testament to the power of thoughtful design and technology to address social isolation and empower individuals to maintain meaningful relationships. By facilitating the sharing of meals and human connection, Amity is not just delivering food; its delivering warmth, community, and a renewed sense of belonging.The post Mobile refrigerator concept bridges isolation with shared meals first appeared on Yanko Design.
