Yesterday morning while taxiing out of PHX, the air traffic control feed on maps had a phantom plane in the middle of the takeoff runway. Saw several planes fly right through it including ours. Didn't see a real plane adjacent to the runway so not sure why ghost plane showed up.

Grew up and college in RI, after college DC for two years, went to UVA law, back to DC for short stints(+Alaska Summer) and then to Chicago/North shore since then. Remember RI friends said I lost my accent when I moved and everyone in my new places claim I have an RI accent. Interesting results.

Didn't see it but one was shown during the Artemis II coverage too. I cringed at that. Sad.

I literally had this conversation on Friday with my boss, who's young, his first vote was for Biden. Every time we work together, we eventually end up talking politics.

I’m using my executive authority to ban nonferrous mining in the Boundary Waters. As far as my administration is concerned, the fight for the future of the Boundary Waters is over. The verdict is in. The decision is made. We will protect this place.

AOC says Democrats should claw back money from ICE: “So it could be through the literal clawback of those funds. It could be through the withholding of other appropriations to force them to spend down what's gone out.”

Massie: "I don't think the problem is that our elections aren't secure because we control the House, Senate, White House, and to some degree we control the Supreme Court. So I ask my Republican colleagues, why are you complaining about election fraud? We won all the damn elections!"

In the well-over 100,000 documents written by founders included in the Founders Online database from the National Archives, no one uses the phrase "God's noble experiment." No one.

Chuck Schumer: "The founding fathers called America God's noble experiment. I believe in all three words to this day: we are one nation under God, we have clung to noble ideals for longer than any other nation, and we are an experiment always changing, trying to make ourselves better.

Wait till folks try to watch the fireworks on the 4th. It has the makings of an epic disaster. Heat advisory, thunderstorms. If security checkpoints are still in place, no ability to bring in food, water and chairs. Limited exit capacity after the show is over.

The access restrictions for the State Fair are going to make trying to get to the Mall for the Fireworks a nightmare. Just saying another tradition about to be totally botched.

It should have been a celebration that reminded us of everything that connects us as a nation a moment to showcase the incredible diversity and creativity of the American people. That would have been a celebration worthy of this historic milestone.

"Something remarkable happened in April. For the first time in history, wind and solar generated more electricity than gas across the entire planet. Not in a country. Not in a region. Globally." Tons of great news here from Danny Kennedy (via @billmckibben.bsky.social's newsletter, which rules).
