Just need to be clear that the US Air Force almost caused a major commercial flight catastrophe because they are flying over Venezuela with transponders off
NOT GOOD 🫠

‘the air traffic controller noted not seeing the military aircraft on their end, as it had the transponder off and was not transmitting its location.

“We almost had a midair collision up here,” the pilot said, according to ATC recordings. "They passed directly in our flight path ..."’

Military contractors spent $43,501,493 on the last election.

We could have universal healthcare and housing might be affordable if ordinary Americans could outbid military contractors for Congress’ help.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

Trump keeps insisting grocery prices are “down.” Reality check: they’re still climbing. CPI shows food costs up 2.7% from last September, 1.4% since January, and 0.3% in just one month. Families feel it every week — tough choices in every aisle.

“Yes, yes, we can see all your ‘facts’ and all the adorable little ‘evidence,’ but you failed to consider that none of that matters if we all close our eyes and pretend the Texas GOP actually had pure motives here, you stupid little rubes.”
The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”

Waiting on the identity on the charged bomber, but as an old explosives prosecutor, I'll say that evidence of identity can come from bomb signatures recognized by investigators w/institutional knowledge, components & where they were purchased, or tips. Revisiting old evidence can be illuminating.
