Expanding the systems to more airports is something Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy would like to do if Congress signs off on his multi-billion-dollar plan to overhaul the nation’s aging air traffic control system.
Oh, the one that Biden tried to pass in 2019 but the Republicans voted down?
Tfg is just aching for people to start murdering people who stand up to him.
BBC says they had engine failure.
The court barred the removal of the men, who the Trump administration alleges are members of Tren de Aragua, pending a new decision from a lower court.
The justices did not rule on whether the Alien Enemies Act, which the Trump administration invoked in mid-April to deport the detainees, had been applied correctly.
So they kicked it back to a lower court, and left everything else alone. Fucking cowards.
Bernie and AOC. It’ll never happen, but I want it to!
You underestimate the racism and sexism of the American voter.
The last time I bought a phone, I used versus.com’s filters to suggest different models that fit the criteria I needed, including a small form factor. I’ve been pretty happy with the resulting phone!
If no one wants them, they’re not worth anything.
Too many “quotes” in that tweet.
“It went from judges getting pizzas, to then judges’ children getting pizzas, to then judges getting pizzas or their children getting pizzas that they didn’t order in my murdered son’s name,” Salas said. […] “We know the first is, ‘I know where you live.’ Second is, ‘We know where your children live.’ And the third now is, ‘Do you want to end up like Judge Salas? Do you want to end up like Daniel?’”
White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly said that Trump had been “laser-focused on delivering peace around the world
Really? Because that really hasn’t been coming across.
and stopping bad actors from doing harm to Americans and our allies.”
… what allies?
He says that like there’ll be an immediate fleet of ships arriving in US ports the following day …
On Tuesday, Fetterman said that the New York magazine article was built on “one source” with “a couple anonymous sources,” describing it as a “hit piece from a very left publication.”
Countdown to Fetterman switching parties in 3 … 2 …
hours after the Trump administration unveiled a plan to overhaul the aging technology that keeps U.S. airspace space safe.
Oh, like the bill that the Republicans voted down when Biden was in office?

Because they see other people gaming the system or somehow otherwise being protected from the consequences of their actions. Ethan Couch, who drove drunk underage and killed four people and fled the scene, and who got probation. Brock Turner who raped an unconscious woman, and who got stuff months in county jail and was released after three months. Matthew Broderick, who drove into the wrong lane, hit a car head-on, killed two people, and was fined a hundred pounds. Hundreds of cases, some high-profile, some only known to the local community, where people get off - sometimes on technicalities, sometimes on connections, sometimes on good lawyering, sometimes on bribes.
Then people wonder why they can’t get away with things. Millionaires and billionaires get their debts written off, so they should be able to do so as well. They should be able to claim that they’re not subject to laws just like those other people. So they start looking for things that might exempt them, patterns of how to get away with things. Every time something goes wrong, it’s not because they’re poor or unconnected, it must be because that other guy’s lawyer wrapped his case in a red ribbon, or capitalized the defendant’s name, or something else esoteric that they didn’t notice or didn’t think of.
And they talk to each other, sharing their theories of his to get away with things. And there’s also a rich ecosystem of fraudsters and conmen who are absolutely willing to take advantage of them, selling them false license plates and fake “passports”, selling handbooks and online courses on how to get away with stuff. If they’re caught (and haven’t just changed over to some other URL), it’s because the law changed or there was some nuance in their situation, and you just need this other thing that’ll fix it, it’s only $129.99, payable in four easy installments …
Due process has to apply to everyone, otherwise they will inevitably expand the categories of people it doesn’t apply to. And if you don’t have due process, no one can challenge their placement into one of those groups.
Sounds like Dad should pay more attention to his environment, and to securing his work van …
It’s real easy, Joe. Just stop voting for his bullshit. As long as you’re enabling him and his fascist regime, no, we’re not going to accept you.
I’m saying this without any actual proof, but I strongly suspect the Mennonite outbreak is among a group of Old Colony Mennonites. Due to pressure from various governments, Old Colony Mennonites migrated from Ukraine to the Russian Empire, then to Canada (where some stayed), and then to Mexico; this left them with a cultural distrust of governments and government agencies (such as public health agencies). They settled in rural Mexico and avoided the government and public contact as much as possible, meaning that (among other things), they managed to avoid the great vaccine push of the 1950s and 1960s, whereas more mainstream communities were educated on the benefits of vaccines and got to see those benefits in their everyday lives. When Mexico’s economy deteriorated in the 1980s and 1990s, some of those Old Colony Mennonites moved to Texas and others back to Canada, where they remain in under-vaccinated pockets.
I haven’t heard anything about which specific branch of Mennonites are involved in the outbreak but, as I said, I suspect they’re mostly Old Colony Mennonites.
