I talk a lot about aviation and law. Firm believer in democracy. Not ready to live in a kakistocracy. Southern California based. Too many dogs and a loving spouse.

There needs to be a class action suit against RFK, Jr., NIH, and Donald Trump for endangering the lives of Americans with their kooky, unscientific negligence.

@bruceshark.bsky.social What a maw!!
In 1976 Zoologists around the world were stunned to learn of the discovery of a new shark - the Megamouth. It resembles many other sharks except its mouth is huge, which is how it got its name. It feeds on plankton, jellyfish, and krill instead of meat like typical sharks...

This is entirely in keeping with Republican Party history. I'm old enough to remember how many gay men Ronald Reagan killed.
HHS is canceling $600 million in CDC grants for HIV and STD prevention in CA, IL, CO, and MN that were marked for state and local health departments, hospitals, universities and non-governmental organizations. These cuts conspicuously correspond to areas of DHS operations as well.

What do you call it when human beings murder a planet?
Trump’s EPA just tore out the endangerment finding, the legal fuse that lets the government regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act. Cut that wire and the rules on carbon from cars and power plants go dark. The smokestacks win. The air, the oceans, the future take the hit.
Trump's EPA is revoking the "endangerment finding" on greenhouse gases. Here's what to know.
The Trump administration says greenhouse gases emitted from sources like cars, trucks and power plants will no longer by regulated by the federal government.

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.
It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.
Just wow.

Imma try and keep this short, but this is what i think is importantly historically. The 1960s civil rights laws and decisions were not technically "new legislation." it was a restoration of what already was.

After defeating the rule last night which would have extended the provision that prevented House votes on Trump's tariffs for the past year, the House is now taking its first vote on a resolution to stop Trump's tariffs.
This first resolution targets the tariffs on Canada; others will follow later.

Seems the Pentagon is testing anti-drone high-energy lasers near Fort Bliss in El Paso, and didn't feel this was dangerous enough to close airspace over.
The FAA administrator disagreed.
Last week, these lasers successfully protected the American people from a sinister children's party balloon.

Looks like they murdered someone else in broad daylight.
Video of the ICE-kidnapping victim under a sheet. You will also hear the officer say he saw them moving. I am inclined to believe the person was alive.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

The FAA has issued a separate security NOTAM for Santa Teresa, New Mexico, banning all flight operations in the affected area for the same time window and altitude limits as the El Paso airspace closure, citing “special security reasons.”
