BRENDAN CARR USED to talk a big game on free speech. In 2021, when members of Congress urged the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to block the sale of a Miami radio station over its perceived political slant, Carr—one of the agency's commissioners—called that move “a deeply troubling transgression of free speech and the FCC's status as an independent agency.”

CHEAP THRILLS! HOW TO GO RACING WITHOUT GOING BROKE
Two words that should never really be strung together are “racing” and “budget.” Getting involved in motorsports and taking your car to the track cost cash, and the harder you hit the track and more serious you get, the more cash you'll burn.
