Poland is in "serious talks" with France regarding the use of France's nuclear capabilities to defend Poland - Bloomberg.

"We must be aware that Poland must reach for the most modern capabilities also related to nuclear weapons and modern unconventional weapons," - PM Tusk said.

The EU needs to be make clear the consequences to any of the US3 and B6(although I don't B6 has the aircraft to fly Russia)if Trump allows and encourage directs US flights to Russia or US airlines to overfly Russia. US3 and B6 have a lot more business in the EU/UK than Russia. @kkfla737.bsky.social

Ironic that Cummings was advising Corbyn in secret and is now apparently working with the Elon/DOGE folks. @kkfla737.bsky.social
Incredible story. Grimly predictable that the people who most vocally attacked the centre-left during the Corbyn years were secretly in talks with the right.
EXC: Dominic Cummings secretly advised Jeremy Corbyn's team on path to No 10 at the height of the Brexit impasse

Vote Leave supremo provided Labour leadership with a plan to make Corbyn PM by voting for Theresa May's Brexit deal

Not too much longer until the federal government ends up bailing out all home insurance policies in disaster zones like this. Republicans want it for Florida, and democrats for the west coast. It’s inevitable at this point.
California is preventing insurance companies from canceling or not renewing home coverage for LA wildfire victims in affected zip codes over the next year.

Whether homeowners have suffered a loss or not, we're alleviating the stress of finding new insurance during these times.

And ironically Maggie Thatcher of all people hated this idea(as did her predecessor James Callaghan although that was to be expected). Airline deregulation in the UK really only happen under John Major. @kkfla737.bsky.social
As much as I love an old-fashioned lefty referring to “Ronny Raygun” - it was Jimmy Carter who signed the bill to deregulate the airlines in 1978
Yes, thanks to Ronny Raygun's and Republiwhigs' deregulation obsession. In the old days I'd review reports in Aviation Week and Space Technology of how much per passenger mile each carrier spent on maintenance and select flights based primarily on that criterion. Today I drive.

Trump showing off grocery items from Wegmans at his Bedminster press conference to reach out to working class Midwestern voters has to be one of the dumbest moves I have ever seen. @kkfla737.bsky.social

Honestly, Boeing has become an incredible metaphor for American national decline. Subsidized for years by juicy government contracts profits became the only goal. They absolutely cut corners both in the 787 development and then repurposing the 737 for another cycle with the MAX.
