Everything is about national security. Especially right now. From troops in US streets, to strikes on boats in the Caribbean, to Ukraine and Putin, to Trump's crazy and now regular speeches to military audiences. There's lots of chaos and drama. But the chaos and drama about war and conflict are most important. And it sounds like Trump and Hegseth want more.  Former CNN National Security reporter and veteran Pentagon press leader Barbara Starr is a highly-respected and wise legend in journalism. For decades, she's covered the military, Secretaries of Defense and Presidents. She's seen it all. But like Ohatani last night, or the magnitude of Hurricane Melissa slamming into Jamaica right now, nobody's seen the stuff we're seeing now from Trump and Hegseth focused in and around our military. And it may be coming to your city or two next.  Barbara returns to break down an America at the tipping point on the latest daily episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff). They tackle the new threats facing the U.S. military, the politicization of the armed forces, attacks on the Pentagon press corps, lessons from Venezuela, and the importance of defending the Constitution and press freedom amid chaos. Barbara also shares the vital importance of the First Amendment as the constitutional backbone of democracy, and why mentorship, courage, and vigilance are essential for journalists, troops, and citizens alike. Topped with uplifting reflections on Shohei Ohtani's sportsmanship, the lessons of Sandy Kofax, and the enduring strength of the Constitution, this is a must-listen for anyone invested in America's future who wants to stay ahead of the news. And understand what's most important.  Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

Gaslit Nation is excited to announce a new show, for our subscribers, featuring Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman, a researcher on investigative journalist Craig Unger's bestselling books House of Trump, House of Putin and American Kompromat. “The oligarchs see the people like the sh*t they grow their money in.” That's what Andrea heard while living in Ukraine in 2006, and it perfectly captures the crisis the world faces today. Chaos weapon Donald Trump is a reality TV star of terror whose job is to destroy laws, regulations, and protections to enrich the shadowy elite profiting from global misery. They hide behind Trump. It's time to make them famous. Follow the Money will feature Andrea and Olga every week, exposing who's getting rich off Trump, Putin, and other merchants of chaos, and what can be done about it. Gen Z is rising up. In this special episode, community organizer and school board official Bushra Amiwala, now running for Congress in Illinois's 9th District, shares her story, her generation's view of a world in turmoil, and how they plan to build a more progressive and inclusive future, with our help.  For our Patreon subscribers who keep Gaslit Nation's independent journalism alive, we'll see you today at the Gaslit Nation Salon at 4 p.m. ET.

Candel Therapeutics CEO Dr. Paul Peter Tak joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has entered into a five-year, $130 million term loan facility with Trinity Capital, marking a significant step in strengthening its balance sheet and funding its clinical pipeline. The loan consists of four tranches, with the first $50 million drawn immediately upon closing. The second and third tranches, totaling $50 million, will be available upon achieving specific regulatory, clinical, and operational milestones, while the final $30 million tranche may be drawn at the lender's discretion. The facility carries an initial interest rate of 10.25% per annum, either fixed or floating at Candel's option, and a five-year term with an interest-only period of 36 months, extendable by an additional year upon achieving a commercial milestone. The agreement also includes customary covenants and default provisions. Dr. Tak emphasized that this financing provides the company with the flexibility to advance its most promising oncology assets, particularly CAN-2409 and CAN-3110, while exploring strategic partnerships to support additional indications. Candel has prioritized its portfolio to focus internal resources on CAN-2409 in early localized prostate cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)—two of the largest oncology markets—while seeking externally funded partnerships for the pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma program. The company reported compelling Phase 2a data, successful enabling work for a Phase 2b/3 trial, and received Orphan Drug Designation from the EMA for this indication. Dr. Tak noted that these developments reflect Candel's commitment to delivering innovative viral immunotherapies for patients with difficult-to-treat cancers, while maximizing shareholder value through disciplined capital management and targeted clinical execution. #proactiveinvestors #candeltherapeuticsinc #nasdaq #cadl #CancerTreatment #ViralTherapy #ProstateCancer #PancreaticCancer #Glioblastoma #PaulPeterTak #ClinicalTrials #BiotechNews #Immunotherapy #Oncology #CancerResearch

Welcome to your weekly UAS News Update. We have four stories for you this week: Part 108 NPRM updates, Skydio unveils two new drones for specialized operations, Auterion secures a massive $130 million in funding, and an update to the story about the Super Scooper mid-air collision. Let's get to it.First, let's talk about some Part 108 NPRM stuff. The deadline is approaching for submitting your comment. Please take the time to write a comment about how this would affect your ability to fly BVLOS. There are currently 800 comments ONLY. There were over 50,000 comments on the Remote ID NPRM.DJI sounded the alarm this week on the NPRM. The company is warning that the rules, as they're currently written, could effectively ground the vast majority of drones being used today, not just DJIs, and sideline thousands of skilled pilots. While everyone agrees we need a clear path forward for BVLOS, DJI points out some fundamental problems in the draft.If you haven't yet written your comment for Part 108, time is running out. All comments must be submitted by October 6th, 2025.Next up, American drone manufacturer Skydio is expanding its lineup with two new specialized drones. The Skydio R10 is designed for tactical indoor situations where you wouldn't want to send a person. It's a compact, 10-by-10-inch quadcopter that weighs 1.7 pounds and has built-in blade guards for navigating tight and/or dangerous spaces. It offers features for first responders, including onboard lighting, a two-way audio system to communicate with suspects or victims, and Skydio's obstacle avoidance for flying in complete darkness. The R10 is slated for early access this autumn.Then there's the F10, which is built for speed and endurance. This is a fixed-wing drone that can hit speeds of over 80 miles per hour and stay airborne for more than 90 minutes. This is a good fit for large-scale BVLOS missions like monitoring wildfires or conducting long search and rescue operations. The F10 is scheduled for release in the first half of 2026. Both of these drones also integrate into the X10 ecosystem, using the same software, controllers, and workflows. It'll be interesting to see if we can get our hands on these to put them to the test. Next up, Auterion has secured a massive $130 million in Series B funding to scale its defense software. The company, which began with open-source drone software, has evolved into a major defense contractor. They're creating an operating system for autonomous systems across air, land, and sea. According to reports, their technology is already being used on the battlefield in Ukraine, where they are delivering tens of thousands of AI "strike kits" under a Pentagon contract. This new funding will help Auterion expand its work on AI-enabled software for large-scale, coordinated drone operations. And finally, an update to last week's story about the drone that hit the firefighting airplane in LA earlier this year. We found out that Peter Akemann is facing jail time and a staggering $156,000 fine after crashing his DJI Mini 3 Pro into a firefighting airplane. The pilot pleaded guilty to unsafe drone operation and was sentenced to 14 days in prison, 30 days of home detention, 150 hours of community service, and a total fine of $156,000. And in post-flight this week, our show on the premium community where we share our opinions, we'll cover these stories and we'll talk about the DJI Mini 5 weight-gate. We'll see you there! https://dronexl.co/2025/09/19/dji-warns-faa-bvlos-rules-ground-drones/https://dronexl.co/2025/09/23/gamer-crashes-dji-mini-plane-fine-jail/https://dronexl.co/2025/09/19/skydio-unveils-new-drones-for-indoor/https://dronelife.com/2025/09/23/auterion-secures-130-million-series-b-to-scale-defense-software/

Synopsis: From stargazing in rural Tennessee to reimagining the future of immune health, Kevin Caldwell's journey is anything but conventional. In this episode of Biotech2050, Rahul Chaturvedi speaks with the CEO, Co-Founder & President of Ossium Health about how personal experiences with a reactive healthcare system—and a deep curiosity about the universe—sparked a mission to extend human healthspan through regenerative medicine. Kevin shares how Ossium built the first scalable bone marrow bank sourced from deceased organ donors—unlocking a powerful, overlooked source for life-saving cell therapies. He discusses Ossium's fully integrated model, commercialization strategy, and why rigorous company-building must go hand-in-hand with scientific ambition. The conversation unpacks hard-won lessons from raising $130M+, navigating regulatory pathways, and leading with long-term conviction. A bold vision for transforming cell therapy—and a candid look at the mindset needed to build for impact. Biography: As CEO, Co-Founder & President of Ossium Health, Kevin Caldwell has built Ossium from a small startup into a clinical stage bioengineering company. Mr. Caldwell set the company's mission to improve human health through bioengineering and designed its platform-based model for cellular therapeutics development. Mr. Caldwell has led the company's successful pursuit, negotiation, and execution of more than 50 business relationships, including 5 successful fundraisings and dozens of supply partnerships, clinical partnerships, and commercial contracts with biopharmaceutical companies. After seven years of strategic engagement and networking, Mr. Caldwell drove the team to successfully secure a transformative federal contract with BARDA (Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority) that validates Ossium's innovative approach. This milestone represents the culmination of persistent relationship-building, targeted proposals, and our unwavering commitment to addressing national biomedical challenges through cutting-edge technology and collaborative partnerships. Prior to founding Ossium, Mr. Caldwell served as an Engagement Manager at McKinsey's San Francisco office where he advised clients in the biotechnology and healthcare sectors. His projects ranged from due diligence of acquisition targets in the biotech startup ecosystem to restructuring distressed biopharma companies. Mr. Caldwell led more than 20 engagements with more than a dozen clients, leading teams that advised clients on revenue growth, go to market strategy, and organizational restructuring. Before McKinsey, Mr. Caldwell served as a Senior Investment Associate at Bridgewater Associates where he did quantitative research for the firm's global macro investments. Mr. Caldwell studied Physics and Economics at MIT before receiving his JD from Harvard Law School. In addition, he is a member of the Young Presidents Organization (YPO), and a Fellow of the Leaders in Tech Program.

In Episode 98 of Tablesetters, we unpack the most pivotal storylines shaping the stretch run of the 2025 MLB season. The Red Sox have locked up rookie outfielder Roman Anthony with a bold $130 million extension. It's a move that speaks volumes about Boston's philosophy but is it visionary or premature? We break down the comps, the risks, and what this deal reveals about the new economics of baseball. Meanwhile, the Brewers have become the first team to reach 70 wins, doing so with a balanced roster, under-the-radar stars, and a culture that's outperforming big payrolls. Is Milwaukee the most complete team in baseball? And why aren't they being treated like it? Then, we turn to Miami. The Marlins have surged back to .500, swept the Yankees, and captured national attention but did they earn it? We examine whether their success is being driven by smart development or rewarded apathy, and what it means for the competitive integrity of the league.
