MS NOW: "A congressional official with knowledge of the matter is telling MS NOW the cause of the shutdown of El Paso airspace is a lack of communication between the Pentagon and FAA. The official told us the FAA and DOD are 'not in clear communications with each other.'"

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

4 months after Trump pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, Forbes reports that Binance now holds $4.7 billion of the $5.4 billion supply of Trump’s World Liberty Financial stablecoin. That is 87%. It is the largest corruption scandal in the history of the US presidency.

"Canadians have chosen not to be bullied."
Trump has chosen to create an antagonistic relationship with Canada. Canadians have chosen not to be bullied. What has been interesting for me is how easy it has been for us to pivot toward and foster other allies to fill the void Trump’s policies have created and how long lasting that will be.

Theology PSA:
The New Testament never envisions a Christian nation-state or nationalism.
But it does envision a servant "kingdom" of peace, justice, and love where the poor are blessed, the powerful are brought low, and there is no longer "Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male and female."
