Is that PBI, West Palm Beach? Hm, it must’ve come from Mar-a-Lardo.
So, a SAM flight came into MSP today. SAM is the call sign for a DoD flight. It flew from Florida to here *during a blizzard*.

So, what Department of Defense folks do you think rate a special handling flight into a blizzard?

Hegseth? Vance? More HSI agents for operation Metro Surge?

Oh, so THAT’s how it’s going to be today (as the starter cord on the snow blower snaps and there’s 6-9” of flurries falling on our doorsteps)? Then, I’m off to load/unload planes for 8h (in the same 6-9” deposits with 15mph wind, 20s F).

This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

I don't know why I sometimes think of Nicolae Ceaușescu. Just idly daydreaming, I guess.

So now CBS (See B.S.) has filed a copyright claim against YouTube, over the CECOT 60 Minutes story they're trying desperately to suppress. So
Qasim Rashid has recorded his own version of the entire transcript.
Listen to it here and share.
It's not going away.

Interesting post Department of Labor. Why don't we check in to see how James Truslow Adams ended the 1931 book in which he coined the term "American Dream?"

The US military faces a tight squeeze! With fewer people using *checks notes* Ohio-class nuclear powered ballistic missile submarines, it's lost more and more money. $1 trillion in the 12 months ending September alone.🤡

NYPD faces a tight squeeze! Fewer people want to be beaten down. Losing $12B.🤡

The “levers of govt” part is precisely what happened in King George’s court, and the American colonies were unhappy and wanted autonomy. Just saying.
Sarah Cooper shares her take on Capitalism over the centuries.

Actually, it sounds like the history of Elon Musk's family, all the way up to the present. 🤑

Do you remember the famous #Earthrise photo from #Apollo8? On Christmas Eve in 1968, William Anders turned his camera toward Earth and captured the legendary photo. It showed humans a new perspective, with the moon in the foreground and Earth floating in distant space. 🌎🚀🔭📸

Quick explainer I did last night for the other apps. Please watch and share- the Trump administration is trying to bury this arbitrary and cruel restriction of our colleagues’ rights during the holidays. Don’t let them.

When I took Medieval Latin, there was a university librarian who was taking the class on her lunch break, and one day she asked the professor.

"I remember there was a really bad civilization from like the Roman era who would sew their enemies fields with salt. Who was that? Does that ring a bell?"
Burn it down and salt the earth.
The case Pam Bondi brought against Rep McIver in New Jersey isn't going well for DOJ. In discovery, a DHS employee gloats over having assaulted McIver, while other messages show DHS officers using racist slurs against the New Jersey congresswoman.

This message is already circulating across social media, but it must continue to be shared and amplified. Accountability only happens when we act together. Let’s sustain this effort at the same scale and unity as the ABC boycott following Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension.
