Feels like I'm missing something. Even setting aside the clear corruption and conflict of interest, why would SpaceX know how to "overhaul air traffic control"? Is the knowledge required to launch a rocket every few months really transferable to managing 7,500 planes in the air?

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

BREAKING: The USDA, under DOGE orders, has accidentally fired staff working to combat bird flu. It’s now trying to rehire them. It follows the accidental firing of nuclear safety staff last Friday. And the accidental firing of FAA’s experienced aviation safety staff. Incompetence will be deadly.

Soil microbes, forest-dependent pollinators (insects, bats, birds and some mammals) and deadwood beetles play very important roles in maintaining forest biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Similarly, mammals, birds and other organisms play an important role in forests.💚🌲🌳🍀
