Trump begins firings of FAA air traffic control employees weeks after fatal DC plane crash By — Tara Copp, Associated Press Politics Feb 17, 2025 10:48 AM EST WASHINGTON (AP) - The Trump administration has begun firing several hundred Federal Aviation Administration employees, upending staff on a busy air travel weekend and just weeks after a January fatal mid-air collision at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. READ MORE: Police boats return to the Potomac River for D.C. plane crash recovery and investigation Probationary workers were targeted in late night emails Friday notifying them they had been fired, David Spero, president of the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists union, said in a statement.

If "will be wild" were a military operation
Bay of Piglets The 2020 invasion, which came to be known as the Bay of Piglets, stands as a cautionary tale of the often amateurish way the Trump administration has pursued regime change in Venezuela. Those criticisms have grown stronger in recent weeks as a naval flotilla deployed by Trump has carried out multiple deadly strikes on suspected drug smuggling boats departing Venezuela and the president authorized the CIA to carry out covert actions inside the South American country. The United Nations human rights chief said Friday that U.S. must stop its military strikes against boats in the region to prevent "extrajudicial killing. Amid growing concern about a potential U.S. invasion, Goudreau has reemerged as a media pundit popular with Trump supporters and "radical leftist" critics alike. In recent interviews, Goudreau has at times lashed out at an array of purported deep-state actors - the CIA and State Department among them - that he blames for "sabotaging" his clandestine mission, which he insists was blessed with a wink from the first Trump administration. .

Mike Johnson and Kevin Corinth of the American Enterprise Institute (the source of this "study" Mike Johnson and his fellow ironic Bible aficionados are using) are lying liars who lie

www.politifact.com/factchecks/2...
The author of that study, American Enterprise Institute senior fellow Kevin Corinth, analyzed survey data and found that Medicaid recipients who do not report working spend on average 6.1 hours a day "on all socializing, relaxing and leisure activities (including television and video games)." But it's uncertain whether the people in the survey population he analyzed overlap with the people included in the CBO analysis, said Jennifer Tolbert, deputy director of KFF's Program on Medicaid and the Uninsured and the director of state health reform. Corinth told PolitiFact "it is difficult to say" how the population he analyzed differs from the CBO projection. Tavares, Cohen, Rosenbaum and Barkoff said Corinth's dataset defined disability narrowly, leading to a "serious underestimation of disability" among the population of Medicaid recipients he looked into. It focused on people who receive Supplemental Security Income under Medicaid or people with a health condition that prevents them from working. Researchers said this approach is too narrow, because the SSI program accounts for only those "most deeply impoverished adults with severe disabilities. The group gave a hypothetical example of a 54-year-old woman with a serious heart condition who can only work a few hours each week. She may not be considered disabled under the SSI program, but she may be limited in terms of emple a at and may need time

Jared's eyes became erratic — completely different from the eyes of the man I'd sat down with at the beginning of the night. "If we lived in a different time, we would be hanging white liberal whores in the town square and dragging them through the streets for the lies they spread," he roared. My immediate reaction was an attempt to de-escalate the situation. "Let's take a deep breath," I suggested. I took one, then he took one, and we repeated it. He reset. Later, though, when I had my hand on the table, he grabbed my wrist and started ranting again about how liberal white women create witch hunts. "They say horrible things about me and make everyone hate me and think I'm a bad person," he said. He was staring at a point in the distance, speaking like he was in some kind of trance. "What did they say about you?" I asked. He snapped out of it. "Oh, not me," he answered. "I meant Donald Trump." Over the course of a few dates, he'd make this mistake often, where he'd talk about Trump in the first person. And I came to realise that while I was trying to separate Jared from who he voted for, he may have been personally struggling to do the exact same thing, just in a very different way. It became clear to me that he truly loved Trump not just because he identified with Trump the politician but because he identified with Trump the person being considered 'bad' by progressive standards. "You don't think you deserve it?" I asked. "Men deserve to be romanced." He wouldn't know where to start with something like that, he said, and I turned the conversation toward what he was looking for in a relationship. He responded with some now-familiar anti-feminist rhetoric, emphasising "natural feminine roles". How did he envision the masculine role, then? "A real man provides discipline, and any talking back or acting out is asking for punishment," he said. Okay, but what else besides obedience does the real man need to feel loved? Bryan took a moment: "The feminists convinced women to be dominant. Where's the love in taking away a man's masculinity? Love isn't always in the cards when people don't know their roles. I'm trying to make enough money to support a family, which means I need someone who can be home and take care of everything there." I didn't feel that any of the men I dated were that interested in me as a person or where I came from either. I rarely got questions like, Why are you Republican-curious? What drew you to our dating app? What are your family values? What are you looking for in a partner? What are your goals in life? I wondered, for a while, if this was supposed to be my role - should I have helped them create a framework for approaching relationships with more curiosity, one that might ultimately lead them toward a more inclusive kind of mindset? Maybe. But it was never my intention to save these men from their hatred. (And I recognise that I am privileged to even ask these questions and be able to explore them in real time and in person.) Plus, after all these dates, I started to answer my own questions. I was too different from them, even if that was due to circumstance and upbringing, in ways that made romantic or sexual attraction impossible. Despite my willingness to be open to anything, none of my dates progressed beyond talking. On our last date, we were walking through a park when I told him we couldn't keep seeing each other, that I disagreed with most of his beliefs and didn't align with the future he wanted. Confused, he replied that from his point of view, we actually agreed on most things. No, I said, we didn't, which he would know if he'd asked me any questions about myself. He still leaned in and tried to kiss me. We never saw each other again.

This is the clown running New College of Florida who is rushing to cosign Trump's derpification of education

game recognizes game

www.heraldtribune.com/story/opinio...
• SAT scores have dropped: Before Corcoran took over, the average SAT score of an incoming class at New College was 1233. By Fall 2023, that score dropped to 1143, and it has only increased marginally through 2024 and 2025 (1153 and 1209 average SAT scores, respectively). • Students are leaving: First-year retention under Corcoran has averaged 72%, well below the 80% retention average for the four years preceding Corcoran's takeover. • Growth has stalled or reversed: According to the college's fact book, New College had 852 degree-seeking undergraduate students in Fall 2024. But the reports for Fall 2025 suggest New College saw zero growth in that category; it is stuck at exactly 852 degree-seeking undergrads. • Student housing in ruins: Corcoran has failed to address the critical lack of student housing at New College, with only an estimated 40% of students able to live in on-campus housing. That figure is far below 85% target that's been set by New College. • Failed takeovers of the USF Sarasota-Manatee campus and the Ringling Museum of Art: Corcoran tried and failed to take over the USF-Sarasota-Manatee campus during the early 2025 legislative session. He also tried to take over the Ringling, but the local community remains strongly committed to resisting any merger with New College.

Remember this?

"Amazon...cut at least hundreds of jobs in its Amazon Web Services cloud computing unit on Thursday, two sources said, just a month after CEO Andy Jassy warned that adoption of generative AI tools would trigger a workforce reduction."

www.reuters.com/business/ret...
Many corporations are increasingly using artificial intelligence to write code for their software and adopting Al agents to automate routine tasks, as they look to save costs and cut reliance on people. "We've made the difficult business decision to eliminate some roles across particular teams in AWS," the Amazon spokesperson said in an emailed statement. "These decisions are necessary as we continue to invest, hire, and optimize resources to deliver innovation for our customers." AWS sales rose 17% in the first quarter to $29.3 billion compared to a year earlier and operating income rose 23% to $11.5 billion.

New York's richest residents can't stop talking about Mamdani, the Democratic nominee. To many of the city's uber-wealthy, his sustained popularity has been a shock. The 33-year-old, self- described Democratic Socialist is the overwhelming favorite to win City Hall next month, on a platform that includes free buses and free child care-programs that, as the moneyed are well aware, somebody needs to shell out for. "I hope Mamdani is going to give out free Xanax," said Caroline Leventhal, a lifelong Upper East Sider who co-founded "Mic'd and Medicated," a podcast that dissects the lifestyle of cosmetic surgeries and private ski instructors. "It's hard to be chill and relaxed."
