Gunshots are unmistakable. That’s why nobody in the audience ran for cover. #hoax

Just to be clear, the general public and media will never know why an aircraft has an air-return, emergency landing, diversion, etc. including said events on AF1, AF2, or any other similar callsigned flights.

This is not a "I support ICE" post. It is ILLEGAL to shoot at / shoot down ANY aircraft, manned or unmanned.

All it would take is for a bunch of these CEOs to confront Trump in front of the world and tell him he's unfit to run a hot-dog stand, and his presidency would be over. Seriously. But none of them has the balls to do it.

For anyone still wondering what the *actual* mission of ICE Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota, will this finally help you figure it out? Intimidating a toy store for selling protest signs a whistles. A TOY STORE FFS. #iceout #MNStrong #resistfascism

Given the timing, we consider this to be targeted harassment as punishment for exercising our First Amendment rights. We're still handing out free whistles. And we just got in hundreds of new yard signs. Keep resisting, Minnesota. We love you.

DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee. In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

This angle shows Trump’s ICE agent standing on the side of the vehicle and firing into the open window at the driver. This was murder.

I think all you need to do to decipher Trump is to understand if a person controls $$. The Mamdani visit makes this clear -- no matter what you say to/abt Trump even in front of him doesn't matter. In the end. if your post wields/affects wealth, you are IN! See: MBS, Starmer, Carney, Macron, Modi.

For anyone bemoaning the chummy Mamdani - Trump ‘positivity’ today (on either side) you need to take a deep breath. ZM and his comm team did a fab job prepping and executing. If you haven’t been to [formal/pro] media training you have no ability to score how the event in the Oval was handled.

Human beings have always felt real weird about the prospect of human flight - but of course, we spent thousands of years trying to do it anyway. Read my latest about flying necromancer kings, ancient Taoist wind-riders, and what they’ve got to do with drones here:

Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) hopped on his Harley to get in on the performative game MAGA is playing with forced airline cancellations and threats against ATC professionals. Nevermind that he resides within a 2-hour road trip of three airports that would get him to DC just fine.

NO WAY!? Not to mention it hasn't received either a price tag or a funding request, for which Congress would have to then approve.

Oh no. Who gave SCOTUS the wrong numbers? Will that person be fired? Also: If entering into a tariff regime that would have to be litigated created the possibility of America not being "sustainable" then maybe they were unwise?

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Do we want safe skies or do we want to support professionals who need to take care of themselves and their families? DJT could not care less about the health or wellbeing of our air traffic controllers. Notably: shutdown is NOT over, controllers have yet to get paid, FAA still forcing cancellations.

Correct. They aren’t certified. In fact they use similar but different systems, procedures, and more. Hegseth and Duffy are showing their true colors…Fox News hosts who don’t know a damn thing about what they have been placed in charge of, let alone what they are even talking about.

Absolutely irresponsible by @axios.com to say that Kimberly-Clark's acquisition of Kenvue (who makes Tylenol) is "a gamble" due to comments by Trump and RFK Jr. First off, any $40B M&A deal is a "gamble". Second, the MSM (including Axios) needs to STOP PLATFORMING MAGA/MAHA bullshit!

It's a good day to remember the 1987 Ron Howard film "Gung Ho" starring Michael Keaton. The script was inspired by US anti-Japanese trade sentiment of the time and underpinned by "comedic" xenophobic and racist tropes. But, facts: Reagan still didn't support tariffs. #TACO #Ontario 🇨🇦
