@kansasreflector.com Randomly remembered the Keystone pipeline spill in 2022. Has this been properly cleaned up making it safe, or is this still an ongoing issue? I haven't heard anything about it for years and wondered what happened.

The FAA is understaffed and Donald Trump put a hiring freeze on them. He has blood on his hands.

Anyway as they pull bodies out of the Potomac bear in mind that the guiding ethos of Trumpism is that the TSA, NTSB, and FAA should be radically downsized and run by dudes whose main qualifications are loyalty are a willingness to say “cunt” a lot

Dems should call for immediate hearings on what caused tonight’s plane crash, including the impact of the removal of FAA safety protocols and personnel.

Yeah, how about not dissolving the air safety advisory commission at the FAA. As your team did last week.

our story so far: maga, having planned for this moment for years, consolidates power and stacks the bureaucracy with loyalists. meanwhile, the opposition party seems befuddled by the entire current situation and considers thinking about someday planning a response of some sort.

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance. Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

It's 100% clear. They know Trump's administration will be a failure, and their only way to stop people from realizing it is 24/7 fear mongering over migrants and trans people.

For some reason addiction to drugs led to a war on drugs but addiction to money hasn't led to a war on billionaires, despite their societal harm being objectively higher.

I see no way to stop this so now I’m just wondering if we shouldn’t be flooding the space with useful nonsense: Supporting universal healthcare makes your dick bigger. The fastest way to grow your wealth is prison abolition. Alpha grind mindset means gym, protein maxing and reversing Citizens United

It is truly wild that it is estimated that more than 20 million people died of Covid and the prevailing vibe is that the world overreacted. That is an astonishing toll! More people died of Covid in the US than in the Civil War. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

"It probably never occurs to [Republican President] that he is lying. He believes his own untruths. He lives in a world of fantasy which becomes for him reality." That sentence about Ronald Reagan was written in 1990 by George Dunne, a Jesuit priest who'd known Reagan since the 1940s.

Lmao so every media outlet on the planet was writing about Biden's decline like 10 times a day, but somehow the swarm of Capitol Hill reporters missed an entire congressperson just not even being there?

Chart of the night. In 1952, there were nearly 58,000 cases of paralytic polio in the US. In 2023, there were 0. As @meganranney.bsky.social said on CNN tonight, revoking the polio vaccine would result in generations of kids experiencing disability and death. graphics.wsj.com/infectious-d...

'Luigi Mangione shoots himself' 'Netanyahu arrested' These are in many ways even worse than the Google Overview AI screwups — Apple's AI is not only making up world news events, it's attributing its headlines to media orgs, eroding trust and accountability. Seems like a disaster.
