Early rumors are that up to 40 Russian strategic bombers were destroyed in one of the most audacious operations I’ve ever seen.

Get fucked, Vlad.

That’s exactly what I thought! What an ambitious operation.
Flying trojan horses! Damn, we really need Ukraine in NATO. These guys are awesome.

I really feel for Stanford. They played so well. What a run in the ACC tournament. This is from an old school “Tobacco Road” girl. Congrats to Stanford for their hard efforts. #acctournament

Here’s the pitch:

They hire back the accidentally-fired bird flu folks *and* the accidentally-fired nuclear security guys BUT they put them in each other’s jobs — also by accident!

It’s TRADING PLACES meets FAILSAFE meets CONTAGION — and maybe also FREAKY FRIDAY!

Need a title.
USDA says it accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is trying to rehire them

In a statement, an Agriculture Department spokesperson told NBC News that officials are "working to swiftly rectify the situation."

one of the defining features of the techbro dipshits now running the USA is their absolute refusal to consider that anyone, ever, has thought about problems before them

time after time they come in, propose a solution that was rejected years ago because it's stupid, and call themselves geniuses
Ah, yes, I’m sure no prior administration thought to ask how all the payments are made.

NEW—Norfolk Southern has pumped $5M into DC since its East Palestine crash 2 years ago, stifling a rail safety bill.

Vance co-led it. Trump said the town wouldn’t be “forgotten.”

But the duo starting w/ deregulation —> plane crashes —> blaming Woke echoes the GOP’s same approach to the derailment.
Trump Said East Palestine Wouldn't Be 'Forgotten.' Will He Remember?
In the two years after the trail derailment, Norfolk Southern pumped $5 million into Washington, leaving much-needed reform a pipe dream.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.

Good trade.
