"Airlines ‘Panicking’ as Trump Admin Launches 'AI' Air Traffic System" Real-time, system-optimization is necessary to address the root causes of day-of-flight point overloads in the NAS, and it is necessary to perform that optimization continuously, in real-time... (1/n)

.@elonmusk trying to buy himself a senate seat in Texas in the form of Ken Paxton is a good reminder of when Peter Thiel successfully bought himself a senate seat in Ohio in 2022 in the form of @JDVance, and then told Trump to select him as his VP (and he did, the following day).

The Performative Hypocrisy of Gymbo Congressional Subpoena-Ducking Jordan
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH): "You have a right to protest in the street, but that doesn't give you a right to go into the Capitol and disrupt Congress.” FC: The Jan. 6 CMTE said Jim Jordan spoke with POTUS before and during the Capitol attack. @atrupar (2026)

Let's see who will fund a sanctioned regime whose autocrat is wanted by the ICC?
with lawmakers targeting any potential of Russian diesel, will companies reject the diesel? Plenty of time for it to steer elsewhere, and this may be too risky for a U.S. company to touch

How it's going...
Did you know we’re below the minimum recommended amount of oil, and just barely above the *statutory minimum* in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve? Lowest level since 1982, and gas is still through the roof. What happens when the war in Iran kicks back off?

Apprentice Roy Cohn doing Roy Cohn's bidding.
From conservative legal scholar @jacklgoldsmith, who ran the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel in the George W. Bush Administration: "I feel a bit silly making technical legal points when this matter..is so obviously a sham. It’s hard to fathom what the Attorney General tells himself as he grossly abuses the power of the Department of Justice at the behest of his Article II master." open.substack.com/pub/execut…

Did the @Q4 platform abruptly end the earnings call 'for technical reasons'? Or did the airline end the call? #canceled

Fuck yeah. I’ve got a bunch of GOP voter fraud to report. Let’s start with the 3 dudes who voted from Scott Pressler’s house
"Anybody reporting Voter Fraud in the past Elections, or the upcoming 2026 Midterm Election, will be paid $1,000,000 upon the arrest and conviction of those that created the Fraud!" - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

VANCE on HIGH GAS PRICES: They skyrocket every time some tinpot dictator decides to throw a tantrum. But we have to remember that the Democrats solution to this problem is to whine and build a few windmills.

Found it @RealDonaldTrump – where’s my $1 million? You can wire it straight to the 10,000 election workers who are volunteering their time to protect against your efforts to steal the midterms.
NEW: Trump is offering $1 million to anyone who reports cases of "voter fraud" in the midterms or past elections that lead to a conviction. It's his latest attempt to present rare cases of illegal voting as a widespread problem that threatens U.S. elections. demdock.com/4zSmNC2

Meta recently updated their terms of service to require any businesses that use their products to turn over their intellectual property in exchange for access to their platforms. I’m urging Meta to reverse this decision and compensate creators and publishers for their work.
