It seems like a joke... until it isn't. RyanAir's market cap is around $35B, less than what Musk paid for Twitter in 2022, when he had roughly a third of the net worth he has now ($766B). When your net worth nears a trillion dollars, everything is purchasable, just as Twitter and the election were.

NEW: White House press pool reports the president boarded the new jet, but reporters didn't witness him getting off the old plane and aboard the new one.
Per the latest pool report:
"While holding on original Air Force One, your pool saw a lot of commotion, including several staffers deplaning with their bags, including [Karoline] Leavitt and [Kevin] Hassett. The crew on the plane was hustling to make the transition, quickly moving boxes of fruit, wrapped sandwiches and beverages in and out. At least one ran past the press cabin. Others, outside on the ground, were seen pulling about a dozen suitcases off the plane and placing them onto a truck. Fox News was playing on TVs with a chyron about the plane’s electrical issue."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gvda6fem6r7selm4gzjjww4a/bafkreicnoroxbrvnyolvc466liijojsd7v7g5zxrgqte7zweoitrv5ioja@jpeg)

New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

Senator Chris Van Hollen is also a No on the DHS funding deal, his spox confirms to me.
My statement on funding DHS:
The proposed Appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security released today puts no meaningful constraints on the growing lawlessness of ICE, and increases funding for detention over the last Appropriations bill passed in 2024.

When this is all over I hope every ICE agent’s life is an endless nightmare of tension and inconvenience.
You can picture how it must have felt in there. Four fucking Nazis with their shit-eating grins squeezing their fat asses into a booth at a family-owned Mexican place poisoning the entire room with their smug impunity. Desecrating a place of community www.welcometohellworld.com/we-must-love...
