The Gov nearly shut down last week due to President Elon bombing the bipartisan budget. Elon had Republicans make this change in order to have the budget passed; axing funding to Children's Cancer - this program was started with bipartisan support over a decade ago.

Why read past headlines: Because Democrats didn't get everything they wanted, I think folks don't see how big a win this is.

But Trump is already getting angry over the "President Musk" stuff. And he's looking weak. That's what really matters.

What's worse is that if they rule so, it will be a "reasonable compromise" to voters instead of what it is: an outright rejection of the letter of the Constitution and the creation of an American subclass.

No quarter on this. One Country, One Constitution, One People, or we burn it to the ground.

The head of the Federal Aviation Administration, Mike Whitaker, will resign on Jan. 20.

His time as FAA administrator has been dominated by Boeing, as he led the agency's response to major quality and safety problems at the aerospace giant and its suppliers.

Researchers I spoke to say extreme weather events could be used as a tool for mass deportations. That’s because President-elect Trump has promised to oversee the largest number of deportations in the country's history.
"Even when mandatory evacuation orders are in place, many choose to remain because they worry seeking help through the federal and state governments or disaster-aid groups could lead to deportation and families being split up." - @nateperez.bsky.social @npr.org

You read it here first: The dominant media Narrative™️ about 2025 inflation will be that it is the unavoidable result of global market shocks & beyond the control of the US government/president.

You, also, will wonder why that was not the dominant media Narrative™️ in 2021-24, when it was also true.
