Turns out the Dow doesn’t love it

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

literal worms for brains

you do have to wonder if mitch mcconnell, as he votes again and again against these nominees, is reckoning at all with the fact that he is more responsible for all of this than most

It is actually genuinely funny that the Army looked at the Executive Order and said "no"

Brianna Keilar: Do you think that calling Elon Musk a dick is effective messaging? Congressman Robert Garcia: Well, he is a dick.

BC Premier David Eby orders removal of liquor from US 'red states' and directs the government and Crown agencies to stop buying American products and replace them with Canadian ones. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It begins "Our Board has considered this proposal and believes … an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." and gets better. A happy investor #diversityandinclusion

Did a little bit of traveling this year! 🙃😎

It also makes it harder for them to ban books.

This is sadly common in the USA. Pretty much everyone has a story

From Pelosi's fall this week to McConnell's, the gerontocracy is literally dying to hold onto power

RFK Jr. potentially wanting to pull polio vaccine FDA approval deserves considerably more handwringing and consternation than Luigi Mangione killing that insurance CEO

Exclusive: President-elect Donald Trump didn’t get to fly on a new Air Force One during his first term. He likely won’t get to fly on a new presidential plane in his second term either.
