OMG it just came to me: Trump is going to attack “drug cartels” in Mexico.
It’s not #ElPaso airport that was closed; it’s the airspace. And for 10 days. This is exactly what happenedq in the Caribbean before they went into Venezuela.

WTAF is happening with #ElPaso airport? I know the word unprecedented is misused, but no major airport in the USA has ever been shut down for a week except after a hurricane or the September 11 attacks. And we have no communication from the FAA?

Microsoft stock tanked -12% after revealing 45% of Azure’s backlog is OpenAI. Meanwhile, Oracle is struggling to secure loans for its $300M AI deal, risking layoffs to pay for it.
The theme is clear that bankers don’t trust OpenAI’s solvency, and it’s dragging down every partner attached to it.

Wait, why would Iran have to negotiate not to have nuclear weapons if Trump, as he boasted, "obliterated" Iran's nuclear program a few months ago.
Might it be that this was nonsense?

It’s just nuts to me that senior DOJ officials are on social media all day shitposting and trolling. The unprofessionalism and psychosis is unfathomable to anyone who has ever worked for any DOJ agency - especially the posts about pending investigations and prosecutions.
