Boeing Strikes Deal to Avoid Criminal Responsibility for 737 Max Crashes
A deal between the plane maker and the Justice Department, which was opposed by some of the families of those who died in the crashes, includes paying millions into a victims’ fund.
How disgusting.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

🚨 BREAKING: Earlier today in Chicago, the Advocates, Counselors, and Representatives for the Disabled honored President Biden with the Beacon of Hope Award for his lifelong defense and advocacy for Americans with disabilities.
Such a contrast to the current occupant of the White House!

Exactly. And if he had committed a thousand crimes, it wouldn’t be a heavy lift to prove just one. But DHS and the White House offer nothing but conclusory bullshit.
It's not relevant whether Abrego Garcia has committed thousands of crimes. Disappearing him off to an El Salvadorean maximum security prison *without due process* is wholly illegal totalitarian bullshit. Everyone who has been sent there by this administration should be brought back, not just him.

Bristlecone pines(Pinus longaeva) can grow up to 50 feet tall and live for over 5,000 years, with some specimens exceeding 4,789 years old, like Methuselah. They thrive in harsh, high-elevation environments where they face minimal competition and are resistant to wildfires.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

DJT also put 10% tariff on Ukraine. No tariff on Russia, although it charges US 20-25%.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

DOGE has just completely gutted the IMLS, firing all staff, closing down their email addresses, and leaving any funding for 2025 in question.

DOGE fired all IMLS employees and closed down their emails. It is assumed all funding for 2025 coming from the federal agency will not be happening.

We have yet to receive adequate information from Homeland Security about the recent news of Minnesota students being detained by ICE.
Snatching up students who come here legally to work hard and get an education does not make you tough on immigration.
We need answers.
