I am so over the media's framing of these kinds of issues. Who effing cares if the Trump administration wants to "make" Canada a state?
The correct framing here is: "Is the United States' position that it will no longer be adhere to international law when it comes to Canada?"

The White House wants the public to think it’s “righting the ship” at the Pentagon by changing the staff around "Leaky Pete" Hegseth. But one of those promoted is Sean Parnell, who dropped his Senate bid in Pennsylvania over allegations he choked his ex-wife and told her to get an abortion. 1/2 🧵

Kids with measles don't show rashes in the first few days, just cold symptoms. By the time a rash shows up, it's basically too late. Horrific disease that can be *prevented for life* with two shots. Completely infuriating how so many people lie about this

This is go to prison forever malfeasance. A guy who is currently a SpaceX employee also serves as an FAA official who cancels a big contract to award instead no-bid to his own employer and starts installing hardware without statutorily required tests and assurances
Of course, Ted Malaska has a whopping conflict of interest here.
He is both:
- a SpaceX employee (identifying himself as a "SpaceXer" on his Twitter/X profile),
&
- federal employee -- and important one at that --"leading an engineering unit inside the FAA."
