AOC isn’t violating any law by speaking out against Trump‘s immigration policy. Rick Scott is irredeemable scum.

Corrupt? Sure. But also directly dangerous? And how! FAA has done careful, long testing /study of new tower-communication system. Now a rush to switch to system that *just happens* to be owned by Mr. Efficiency himself, Elon. (Has he even been to an ATC facility? Probably like Vance re Ukraine)

FAA officials ordered staff on Friday to find tens of millions of dollars for a Starlink deal, sources tell us, and most or all of these directives came verbally, which we are told is highly unusual. w/ @swin24.bsky.social @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol…

This is an astonishing story. Trump's personal lawyers, now in government, are trying to find any prosecutor take on a case to stop payment of $20 billion in funds by claiming there is fraud. The fact that career prosecutors are resigning rather than do so tells you how weak the case is.

While DOGE henchmen have been busy firing all those lazy federal workers, Donald Trump was able to work from his golf clubs five days in a row.
