Delta Airlines CEO just said he's "not concerned at all" by firings at the FAA, and he's been in frequent contact with the administration. Good luck with that as more people lose confidence in the ATC system.

Starting to see news media coverage of layoffs from the purge of federal agencies. Important to recognize this is just the first layer of the story. Next should come stories of cancer patients who lose access to trials, families who lose apartments without HUD assistance, etc.

I've asked it before, but how long until the oligarchs realize their private jets depend on the same air traffic control system as everyone else? Trump yesterday said his pilot told him when they land in NY, they use a better system from another country. @atrupar.com

Sure sign it's February this far north: the temperature is 6-below zero, but there's no wind, so "it doesn't feel too bad."

Ironically, the combination of the Roberts Court's presidential immunity decision and the president's ability to pardon others that could allow President Trump to leave office free of any personal legal threat in 2028 or sooner.

Before the inauguration, I used the word "nihilism," which I thought might be overstating things. Turns out, it underestimated the situation. Feels like Wile E. Coyote is blowing up the bridge while we're all just trying to get across the vast gorge.
