Trump's speech was under two hours, which bolsters the thesis that the leaks about it being more than two hours were meant to work the prediction markets

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

LOL. Doing a thing is hard.

RON JOHNSON: Did you ever encourage people to go out there and exercise their First Amendment rights? KEITH ELLISON: I freely admit being in favor of the First Amendment

Bovino advanced all the way to within eyesight of Paisley Park, but his supply lines were stretched too thin and ultimately his frozen troops were encircled by Will Stancil and wine moms with whistles

Pam Bondi Thought That Went Pretty Well

This has been a hell of a year the last 6 weeks…

I don’t believe anything they say, is the thing

DHS & FUnews come right out the gate with lies again. Disgusting.

I just responded to the scene at 26th and Nicollet shortly after the observer was shot. They teargassed and/or pepper sprayed Jana Shortal of KARE11 at the scene and she was being treated when I walked up. ICE have a fancy camera they are using to scan the faces of the crowd.

BlueSky won’t let me share the video, but you can see one of the ICE agents rip a gun out of this man’s waistband *before* the shooting starts. From this angle, it’s hard to see how this was anything but an execution, unless simply carrying a gun is now illegal in America.

The Star Tribune reports that federal agents "attempted to order local police from the scene" where a man was shot and killed by feds this morning, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and "instructed his officers to preserve the scene."

Heck yeah.

The last 3 years have been the hottest 3 years ever recorded. We get one cold snap and the White House calls global warming a hoax. I would say unbelievable, but it’s completely on brand.

Sunday evening news drop: Allegiant Air to acquire Sun County Airlines, a deal they value at $1.5 billion and expect to close in 2H 2026. The combined airline will operate ~195 aircraft, with 30+80 on order. The combined entity will use the Allegiant brand name, dropping the Sun Country brand.

Allegiant Air acquires Sun Country Airlines for $1.5 billion.

TikTok's chief just told employees that the company has signed its U.S. spin-off deal. Set to close next month, if the Chinese government approves it. New owners will include Oracle, Silver Lake and Abu Dhabi's MGX, as we reported in September: www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Feverishly working on this

Yesterday, N278GX did an ICE deportation flight from MSP to HRL, repositioned to AUS, and flew home the University of Wisconsin Volleyball team.

Tonight’s LA-Munich flight honors the life of Jürgen Raps with a special call sign: DLH1JR. As Lufthansa’s chief pilot and one of the world’s first licensed A380 pilots, Raps brought D-AIMA home in 2010. The beloved aviator died this week at age 74. www.flightradar24.com/DLH1JR/3d74f...

Institutionalized regression in consumer protection. Next, they’ll make seat belts optional in the name of “choice”. 🤡

Me too

This is the first Ice Storm Warning issued by the Anchorage NWS office since Nov 2019.

Aurora color guide! What creates the different shades? Different atoms getting "excited" at different altitudes The bright reds are a sign of a particularly intense event

A quick view straight up! #Aurora

Snow making has begun at Lutsen Mountain! #OnlyInMN

Rare truth from him as we do in fact have soybeans rotting away in silos at levels nobody's seen before

Hey look. Communism.

engineers everywhere pretending to “monitor the situation” while refreshing the aws status page

American institutions don't crumble. But they can be destroyed.

Oh wow

This is, I think, the best push alert and makes me wonder why this directness isn’t the norm.

This is wild. Reminds me of the convective mode I've observed when a hurricane eye contracts so tightly that it's effectively a supercell.

A great time at #CrankyDorkfest next to In-and-Out Burger at #LAX!

Great perspectives abound at #SpotLAX and #CrankyDorkfest this weekend at #LAX!

On the left: Nate Cavanagh, a 28-year-old DOGE staffer and college dropout. On the right: Mohammad Halimi, a 53-year-old exiled Afghan scholar. This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media. Then the Taliban took his family. 🧵

A1 above the fold in the @nytimes.com. The message is getting through. Keep pushing everyone. We can save the #CDC, save the #NIH from the clutches of #RussellVought #StephenMiller and #DonaldTrump. Keep the pressure up on your members of Congress and the media (letters to editors, op-eds).

Could you imagine if Biden’s hand ever looked like this?! There’d be freaking billboards.

There is a ton of discussion about these storms in western Minnesota tonight…

“Anti-science rhetoric is winning, here’s your investor upside…” is nice and cringey.

August 10, 2020: One of the worst derechos in US history ravaged the Midwest. The MCS carved a path from eastern Nebraska to Michigan over the course of ~11 hours. Winds as high as 140 mph produced substantial crop and structural damage throughout Iowa and Illinois. (1/2)

We lived in Cedar Rapids, ground zero for the awful August 10, 2020 derecho. We were *very* fortunate that our only damage was a young maple that was snapped and resin shed being obliterated (parts of it found their way to the next street over). No damage to our home itself, unlike others. (🧵 1/6)

‘1984’ is upon us

“The fact that this [report] has been released at the same time that the government has hidden the actual congressionally mandated national climate assessments that accurately reflect the science only further shows how much of a farce this is.”
