Ok I’m at EWR waiting to fly to ORD. All day.
Incoming plane landed 20 mins ago.
The PILOT 🧑✈️ of our flight just got on the speaker of the terminal to us sitting:
“Folks it’s going to be 45 min taxi due to one air traffic controller and it will be a bumpy ride” he’s based in Chicago.

Louisville resident here! Our local government recently made it so Churchill Downs (a billion dollar business) will never have to pay taxes for 30 years. This is while Jefferson County Public Schools is making hundreds of millions of dollars in budget cuts www.wave3.com/2025/12/05/c...
Churchill Downs granted 30-year tax break
Churchill Downs will not have to pay any property taxes for the next 30 years after Louisville Metro Council members approved an extension of the exemption that started back in 2005.

Her behaviour at the hearings was atrocious. Imagine if any previous Democratic Attorney General had ever responded in the same manner? They'd been drawn & quartered then roasted over a fire pit. I firmly believe her day is coming. She is a pitiful excuse for an AG.

The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.
After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
