Welcome to your weekly UAS News Update. We have three stories for you this week; Autel fights back against the FCC's Covered List, the Michigan House passes two drone procurement bills while stalling on airspace restrictions, a drones-for-good story where a thermal drone saves a life in freezing temperatures. Let's get to it.And first up this week, Autel Robotics has filed a reply with the FCC, arguing that their addition to the Covered List is based on secret evidence and allegations that were actually aimed at DJI. Autel claims they were never given a chance to see the classified material used against them, which they argue violates their Fifth Amendment right to due process. What's really interesting here is that Autel is finally putting their technical operations on the public record. They stated under oath that their flight data is stored locally by default and isn't automatically uploaded to company servers. They also specified that their drone communications and stored data use AES-128 or AES-256 encryption, and that no third party has access to their software. We'll be watching this closely. Next up, let's talk about some state-level regulations. The Michigan House just passed two out of the 15 bills in the SHIELD Michigan drone package. House Bills 5329 and 5331 both focus on procurement. They basically stop state agencies from using state funds to buy drones from companies on federal concern lists, like the DOD's 1260H list. But here's the real story for you as a Part 107 or recreational pilot. The other 13 bills didn't pass. Those were the bills that had us really worried about federal preemption. They included things like criminal penalties for flying over critical infrastructure, giving local police the authority to shoot down or disable drones, and even a mandatory state-run geofencing app. Seeing those 13 bills stall in the House is a huge win for our drone industry. And there's still time to fight the other two, as the bills now go to the Senate for consideration. If you're in Michigan, make your voice heard by reaching out to your State Senator! Last up, the Corman Park Police Service in Saskatchewan, Canada, used their DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise to save a man's life in brutal conditions. Officers were looking for an intoxicated man in minus 20 degree Celsius or minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit weather. The officers deployed their Mavic 3T and were able to pick up the man's heat signature inside a roadside dumpster. Officers were able to get to him before hypothermia set in. Great job to Corman Park Police Service!Join us later for Post Flight in the community, and for the Live Q&A! We'll see you then!https://dronexl.co/2026/05/19/autel-fcc-reply-covered-list-secret-evidence-dji/https://dronexl.co/2026/05/21/dji-mavic-3-enterprise-man-dumpster-20/https://dronexl.co/2026/05/14/michigan-house-passes-2-of-15-shield-drone-bills/

Hour 1 opens with a mix of culture war flashpoints, political outrage, and sharp commentary on media narratives as the crew reacts to anti-military remarks from Michigan House candidate Shelly Campbell, debates Kamala Harris' surprising strength in early Democratic polling, and mocks progressive “no bad ideas” brainstorming around Supreme Court expansion and Electoral College reform. The hour also features discussions about Trump's China trip, tense moments involving Chinese security officials, and criticism of Democrats over agriculture and sports policies before Jim Carafano joins to praise Trump's handling of China, Iran, Cuba, and NATO while arguing America is regaining leverage over weakened global rivals. Congressman Eric Burlison later delivers a bombshell UFO conversation, describing Pentagon briefings, unreleased UAP footage, mysterious Apollo-era images, and direct White House outreach seeking his input on future disclosure efforts, while also discussing legislation aimed at helping first-time homebuyers overcome crushing housing costs. The hour closes with a major conversation about collapsing literacy rates nationwide, Oklahoma's aggressive reading reforms, the return of phonics instruction, and concerns about parental disengagement and COVID-era school policies damaging student achievement. Hour 2 centers on growing political and legal tensions surrounding Donald Trump, media credibility, and Democratic strategy heading into the 2028 cycle. The crew dissects polling showing Kamala Harris and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez leading portions of the Democratic field while questioning whether the party has learned anything from recent electoral defeats. Discussions also focus heavily on sanctuary city policies, criticism of mainstream media framing on Iran, and frustration over continued attacks on legal gun ownership despite rising violent crime tied to stolen firearms and illegal secondary markets. Marc and Kim repeatedly argue Democrats are using emotional narratives to justify broader restrictions on constitutional rights while ignoring failures in criminal enforcement and border security. The hour also revisits concerns over media bias, bureaucratic overreach, and the long-term consequences of progressive policy decisions on education, public safety, and voter trust. Hour 3 shifts heavily into foreign policy, national security, and government transparency as Marc reacts to President Trump's extensive Air Force One press gaggle following his China trip. Trump touts new trade opportunities for American farmers, pushes back on media criticism over Iran, and hints at evolving negotiations involving Cuba and global energy markets. Jim Carafano frames the summit as a strategic demonstration of American economic dominance designed to intimidate China while arguing the Chinese government is increasingly vulnerable. Congressman Eric Burlison then expands on ongoing UAP investigations, describing jaw-dropping classified footage involving impossible aerial maneuvers and mysterious objects near a Russian submarine while criticizing decades of government secrecy surrounding Apollo mission recordings and NASA archives. Burlison also outlines his “Make the American Dream Real Again Act,” aimed at helping younger Americans buy homes by restructuring incentives around down payments and capital gains taxes. The hour concludes with Kim St. Onge spotlighting Oklahoma and Mississippi education reforms targeting America's reading crisis through phonics-based instruction, literacy testing, and stricter advancement standards for struggling students. Hour 4 opens with Marc breaking down President Trump's heated confrontation with New York Times reporter David Sanger aboard Air Force One, where Trump accuses legacy media outlets of deliberately distorting coverage of Iran and American military successes. The conversation expands into broader debates over media trust, sanctuary city policies, suspicious explosive devices discovered near cr ...

This week's edition of the Talking Michigan Transportation highlights proposed legislation to include driving through work zones as a focus of driver's training curriculums.House Bill 5767 would amend the Driver Education Provider and Instructor Act to provide, beginning Jan. 1, 2027, that all participants in a driver education course must complete a work zone safety education course, developed in conjunction with the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and approved by the Department of State (DOS).First, Brian Sarkella, chapter president for the American Traffic Safety Services Association (ATSSA), talks about his advocacy for the legislation and testimony he provided to a Michigan House committee on Tuesday, May 12.Later, Tom Robins of Work Zone Safe talks about his work to adopt legislation in work zone driver's training in Oklahoma and how it has informed efforts in other states.

Cora Reynolds Anderson was a quiet trailblazer whose legacy reshaped Michigan's political landscape, even if her name isn't widely known today. Born in 1882 in Baraga County, she was of Ojibwe descent and grew up deeply connected to her community and culture at a time when Native voices were largely excluded from public life. That didn't stop her from stepping into history. In 1924, Cora became the first Native American woman elected to a state legislature in the United States, serving in the Michigan House of Representatives. Long before Native Americans were granted full citizenship rights nationwide, she used her position to advocate for her community, championing issues like public health, education, and the welfare of Indigenous people. She worked to address the tuberculosis crisis affecting Native populations and pushed for better resources and representation, all while navigating a political system that wasn't built for her voice.

We’re now on YouTube every week! Click here to subscribe. On our radar this week… There is a lot on our radar along with Santa's sleigh… It was inevitable from the day Donald Trump sent his masked, unqualified, undertrained stormtroopers into American cities. An American citizen was summarily executed; Trump, Vance, and Kristi Noem immediately called the shooting justified self-defense and branded the dead American mother a domestic terrorist. But, we have clear unrefutable evidence we have all seen with our own eyes … which proves everything they have said in the aftermath are lies. It. Was. Murder. And now – Kash Patel has decided he, and he alone, will investigate. Trump is in full land acquisition mode, launching an invasion of Venezuela and making it clear he's looking hard at Cuba, Columbia and Greenland … although his minions say he wants to buy Greenland. And he admits we could be in Venezuela for years. He apparently learned nothing from the George W. Bush's Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan…or the Vietnam War he avoided with those dreaded bone spurs. Trump adds the title of pirate to his resume with the seizure of a 50-million barrels of oil … saying he, and he alone, will illegally and unconstitutionally control the billions raised by selling his booty. Trump says it out loud: if Democrats flip the U.S. House, he expects to be impeached for a third time. Could this be an effort to motivate the MAGA vote? In Michigan, Attorney General Dana Nessel has ruled House Speaker Matt Hall's unilateral cancellation of more than a half-billion dollars from the state budget is unconstitutional … probably setting up a major court battle. State Democrats have rolled out the first blasts aimed at independent gubernatorial candidate Mike Duggan with polls showing Duggan's Independent candidacy could help elect a Republican as Governor. West Michigan has been trending more Democratic over the last decade. The transition culminated with the 2022 election of Hillary Scholten to a congressional seat once held by Gerald Ford in a district that had only just two years of Democratic representation in Michigan's history. In 2026, Democrats see the opportunity to flip another longtime Republican district by defeating 8-term Republican congressman Bill Huizenga. They're counting on state Senator Sean McCann of Kalamazoo to do that. McCann's political career began 26 years ago as a member of the Kalamazoo City Committee, followed by election to the Michigan House of Representatives in 2011, and moving to the state Senate 8 years later. He's now completing his 2nd term in the Senate. McCann is a graduate of Western Michigan University with a degree in political science.

Chronically parched is not something anyone in this country or anywhere should ever have to feel, but here we are. So how are towns and states making clean water more affordable, reliable, and less controversial? 'cause remember, it's fucking water. Look, you might feel like you're giving it all you got but when you look around things are a little dark out there. So you, our listeners and readers and viewers and users, whatever, across the world, want and demand more examples of fight and progress you can see and touch and feel, taste, and in these conversations, in this special series, in our partnership with our best friends that Run For Something, we're gonna do that.Each of these episodes features two guests both sourced from the Run For Something pipeline and graduating classes. First, I'll introduce one young elected official at the state or local level who has actually made real measurable progress on an issue facing more Americans than ever before, something that you'll notice.And then in the same episode, I'll introduce a bright-eyed candidate who's currently running for a state legislature for mayor, for city council, or for school board, who is similarly hellbent on attacking the same issue in their own hometown or their state. And for all you know, one of these could be in yours or near yours, or just have lessons that apply to yours.Today our topic: drinking water. You'd think it wouldn't be complicated or controversial, but remember folks, bad guys are real.Introducing our incumbent, State Rep Laurie Pohutsky is a Michigan born millennial microbiologist serving her fourth term in the Michigan House of Representatives where she serves on the Oversight Committee and is the Chair of the Progressive Women's Coalition. Laurie sponsored legislation that became Michigan's Clean Energy and Jobs Act of 2023. She's the co-sponsor of legislation to make polluters pay, which is always great, and to amend Michigan's Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, which focuses on environmental cleanup standards and procedures, which would be stellar since, as you know, the EPA has, basically been abolished.Our candidate, Denzel McCampbell is a fine, young community advocate and native Detroiter, living and running for Detroit City Council District Seven. Denzel was born and raised in the east side and is a graduate of Michigan State University. He is dedicated to public service, to fighting day in and day out to increase access to democracy and representation for marginalized groups. He believes the Detroit city government should be a responsive government that uses its resources to ensure that every neighborhood is well resourced and that every resident is able to have the fundamentals. Two amazing humans fighting for water, and fighting for everything else. Let's find out what it means for their hometowns, for Michigan, and for yours.-----------Have feedback or questions?

Steve Frisbie, (R-Pennfield) joined Community Matters, expressing optimism that budget negotiations would begin in earnest soon.Frisbie called the law mandating a state budget by July 1 ineffective, since "there's no teeth to it, no consequences," allowing the deadline to come and go with no budget discussions underway.If Michigan lawmakers can't send a budget to the governor for approval by early October, they risk a government shutdown.Episode ResourcesRep.
