F*ck Trump!
And his MAGA administration.
They are all fucking morons...
A made-up scare tactic to ask for more money and reallocate it to fund their fucking war!
And
Market manipulation!
How fucking convenient, right, Sean Duffy?

I'm in IT. Totally agree.
If you KNOW your operating systems and servers are extremely outdated and old, and your system has so many patches and fixes that duct tape is basically holding it together -
Why would you install a new, first of it's kind AI scheduling tool on that system?
And how did they test this? Did they test it? Is the test environment at all comparable to the production environment?
Load & stress testing?
No way to quickly disable the new AI tool as a safety measure?
None of that makes sense.

I’m no IT expert, but how was this not anticipated? If the FAA is “patchworking” an aging, outdated system, identifying and preventing potential failures should be the bare minimum.
We’re talking about aviation safety and human lives, not some random project where you can afford to figure things out as you go.

I can’t wait for Democrats to drag that guy from The Real World, Sean Duffy, and Markwayne Mullin into a hearing about this FAA ground stop fiasco.

I’m seeing a lot MAGA folks losing it after watching Sean Duffy and Markwayne Mullin in this disastrous press conference about the FAA ground stop.
Love this for them all.

The nationwide ground stop lifted at 8:15pm ET.
Here’s a breakdown of today’s timeline:
- At 3:36 p.m. ET, @FAANews experienced telecommunications issues at facilities & TRACONs across the country
- The FAA issued a ground stop out of an abundance of caution while 3,500+ planes were in the air
- Pilots and air traffic controllers followed established procedures to safely land the aircraft, bringing the number in the airspace down to under 400 as of 8pm ET
- The FAA confirms they did not lose all radar or telecom, and exceptions were made to allow critical medevac, life-saving cargo, and law enforcement flights to continue operating
.@SecDuffy walks through what happened today that led to the FAA's ground stop order

I am calling on every Democratic Senator to support @ChrisVanHollen for Majority Leader. He will commit to:
✅End funding for the Iran war
✅ Allow a vote on Medicare For All
✅ Zero out aid to Israel
This is a time for new leadership.

Americans are stuck at airports across the country. They deserve answers, clear updates, and a plan to get home safely.
Instead, the Trump Administration is correcting reporters on AI’s "preferred name."
These are not serious people.

Donald Trump didn’t do this alone.
Politicians who knew better. Billionaires protecting their interests. Law firms that surrendered. Media companies that capitulated.
They all had a choice.

Just me, but this post ground stop presser does not have the gravitas and dignity of any other president to occupy the office. It really sounds like lunatics are running the asylum.
PS: That terrible Congress was all Republicans, you know.

Infectiously and eternally cheerful, Olomunyak has a wonderful way of coaxing shyer orphans out of their shells. Today? Alia. As you can see, it was mission accomplished.
Olomunyak (or ‘Ollie’, as we call him) was orphaned as a very young elephant and then spent several scary days – possibly weeks – trying to fend for himself. It’s a miracle that the Mara’s legendary lions didn’t get to him before help arrived.
Now, Olomunyak has a family with us and a wild future to look forward to. You can become part of his journey by adopting him, for yourself or as a gift for someone special! To get started, visit: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/o…
