We built the Panama Canal, but because of the Jones Act, a cargo ship from Shanghai cannot stop at LA on the way to Houston. A tanker from Saudi Arabia can’t stop at New York on the way to San Francisco. They have to go all the way back and make a direct trip, so they don’t.
Now that Trump is granting waivers, look what’s happening. Massive trade flowing between our coasts via the Canal. Puerto Rico, which used to be forced to depend on foreign imports, now has massive trade with the mainland US. Lift the Jones Act permanently and lower cost of living across the Empire.
Chapeau bas pour Beatrice Vialle qui s’est posé pour la dernière fois à Paris CDG aux commandes d’un Boeing 777-300 d’Air France après 40 ans de carrière et plus de 17000 heures de vol ✈️ 👩✈️
Elle a été la seule femme française et l’une des deux seules au monde à avoir piloté le mythique Concorde.

While visiting the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas, I lowered my underwater camera beneath the bridge connecting Nassau and Paradise Island to see what was hiding below the surface, and it didn't disappoint.
The bridge pilings were covered with life, from colorful parrotfish, queen angelfish, blue tangs, butterflyfish, grunts, and squirrelfish to plenty of other fascinating reef species. In this narrated video, I identify many of the fish I encountered and share some interesting facts about their behavior and the important role they play in the reef ecosystem. Come explore the underwater world beneath one of the Bahamas' busiest bridges and discover the amazing marine life that most visitors never know is there.
Which fish did you find the most interesting? 🐟 #Bahamas #MarineLife #Underwater #Ocean #Wildlife
I expect Mamdani's public grocery stores will not offer significant price discounts relative to budget grocers. Thinking about his mandate they make things cheaper reminded me of "parchment guarantees" and this speech from Justice Scalia.
