seconded but...this does at least seem to be at risk given the obvious badness of this group of three.

AI nurses are better than doctors....consider that statement in light of this event. Calm ATC dealing with a normal situation on a normal night and we had this.

I would hope they would delay the nomination hearings out of respect. It is important that people see how dangerous these nominations are.

48 Hour rule doesn't apply because this doesn't involve the gun lobby.

Please be true The New Republic: "Senate Republicans are wary of Tulsi Gabbard, putting her confirmation as director of national intelligence in jeopardy." — Bluesky

if government is the target of DOGE...this is your evident that "efficiencies" designed by self-interested oligarchs are never a good idea.

Chatting about this on bsky last night...the SNL music special was amazing. Highlights: the incredible music history lesson that watching 50 years of supremely diverse performances is the Rage Against the Machine/Steve Forbes events the previously not seen by me: Dad's band at daughter's wedding sketch

The most obvious narrative for your editorials from the crash is: "government experts are probably useful for something"

Man...almost as if it would be hard to believe her.

The un-seriousness here https://www.salon.com/2025/01/30/ai-nurses-as-good-as-any-doctor-rfk-jr-confirms-he-wants-to-take-away-peoples-health-care/ AI nurses are as good or better than doctors. Let that sink in. Being sick is really a matter of choice. Let that sink in. Is Healthcare a right? Would not answer. Let that sink in. Government by and for rich jackasses who think very little about the proles and outer party.

I fly out of there on Palm Sunday in April. Its been a while because we live much closer to Dulles. I do remember when I was younger we would do a circuit on our bikes around the Mall, the Potomac, and across the various bridges to the park right by the end of the runway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravelly_Point. Great airplane watching location. Horrible tragedy. I have seen some numbers on local tv of victims.

Military helicopter involved.

One can imagine some David Hyde Pierce character standing in front of him having to explain why these things are not being received better by "his people".

Imagine if you will that the man who said "**** it pardon them all" not having the stomach to fight legal battles in the weeds over every sweeping order he issues from his magic desk.

Against familiar narratives Brandon Wolf: "A necessary reminder that the first step to beating Trump is rejecting the idea that he is inevitable or invincible." — Bluesky The Washington Post: "Breaking news: The White House budget office on Wednesday rescinded an order freezing federal grants, according to a copy of a new memo obtained by The Post, after the administration’s move to halt spending earlier this week provoked a backlash." — Bluesky

They put a nutcase sociopathic dilettante who thinks we deserve it if we get Cancer on the same day as Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard because they thought Kash and Tulsi were so strong?

Your fault if you get COVID or Leukemia Seth Masket: "Sanders: Is health care a human right? RFK: It's not the same as free speech, because it costs money. Also it's people's fault if they get sick Some rights cost money! Trials and legal representation cost money. Running elections to ensure the right to vote costs money." — Bluesky

If the Secdef wore a uniform people would be freaked out over the separation between civil and military. But, the head of the Ministry of the Interior can I guess?

well-adjusted. I am betting his mother never gave him a cherry coke enema and tied him to the piano to see if he could hold his water. edit: that was a really obscure reference to the made for tv movie "Sybil." That movie messed up a lot of people of my generation who saw it.

Josh Marshall: "it was pretty obvious earlier today that this was a straight up lie. and now there's proof. of course it was." — Bluesky

Question: did the email reach the people in the Armed Forces? If so, I wanna know why not.

George Conway ‪@gtconway.bsky.social‬ Wait till all the Trumpers call for their social security/medicaid/farm subsidy/veterans benefit checks and there’s no one there to answer the phone.
