Last month, all 14 members of a Christian sect in Australia were found guilty of manslaughter after denying insulin to a little girl who needed it.
Her parents were just sentenced to 14 years in jail. Others will spend 6+ years behind bars.

To recap, Trump:
-Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence
-Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers
-Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee
-Blamed the DCA crash on DEI
This is disastrous leadership.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

America doesn't have a throne. A third of Americans and half of Democrats aren't religious. And "Jesus take the wheel" isn't a strategy to fight White Christian Nationalism.
We deserve better than this divisive and out of touch rhetoric from Congressional leadership.

I love that we can view a solar system simulator anytime we want straight from NASA with real time data.
Warning, though, the moon count for other planets is out of date.
ISS and Saturn are always great views.

It is an absolute moral imperative that every journalist stops any GOP politican immediately when they use the word "woke" and demand they define it.
Sen. Jim Banks says he fully supports Pete Hegseth because "he's eminently more qualified that Sec. Austin" who he claims "created a woke political mess at the Pentagon."
