A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa.
It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;)

There's rampant speculation about #AI171 right now, but I'd urge extreme caution drawing conclusions about the state of the 787's flaps on takeoff. They are not easy to see (at a distance) deployed at the 5 position relative to wing's trailing edge.

Trump's tariffs have cost the US nearly $30 trillion, this translates to an additional $300,000 per family of four.
That’s more damage than any economic policy pursued by any president in US history. He's bankrupting the country in real time.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
