@FreightAlley The industry can make up whatever pitch to continue its 46 year run of robbing American truckers. The courts don't care about your sales growth or Dave Bozeman's equity options vesting schedule. You can't hand out indemnity like free cars on Oprah, no matter how big you are.
There is a legitimate, mathematical path to flip KY-04 to Democrat Melissa Strange, but the DNC has to invest.
Ed Gallrein has no real mandate. He was dragged across the finish line strictly by 60+ MAGA boomers conditioned by millions in TV ads. Massie won the entire under-55 demographic.
DNC needs to combine base Democrats with the massive block of Independents, and recruit the 47000 Massie voters. Run hard on economy, gas prices, inflation, wars, etc. Isolate the boomers, weaponize the fractured GOP base, and flip the district.
@FreightAlley Responsible brokers use fmcsa inspection/accident/red flag data, broker reviews/references, and load history in the absence of a safety rating. This benefits the small fleets that operate safely and have no rating. Large fleets will create panic and push for regulatory "relief."
Elon Musk’s DOGE “blatantly used” race, gender and other protected characteristics to execute the largest mass termination of federal grants in the history of the National Endowment for the Humanities, a federal judge ruled on Thursday. https://t.co/hwzwfkkLBS
@FondOfBeetles This study examined what I assume was an isolated outbreak but I would love your thoughts on it (since in effect it seems a little COVID-like):

On Hantavirus: a (non-technical) thread.
Disclaimer: I am a biology PhD, but not virology/epidemiology. Husbandman is a virology PhD. But I’m told I’m good at communicating science, so here’s my take.
#Hantavirus
I would agree with this if markets were zero-sum, every human life required as much resource use as an American life, and the sole purpose of life was industrial efficiency (with extremely centralized and capable enforcement).
We’ve never lived in a world where the majority of human labor is economically worthless. Maybe ‘economics’ itself is abolished as we understand it and we’ll live in a world of carefree abundance, but I highly doubt that. I think there will be mass exterminations.
Last night, Israeli forces intercepted and boarded a humanitarian aid flotilla bound for Gaza in international waters off the coast of Greece — unlawfully detaining more than 175 people, including several New Yorkers.
My team has been in direct contact with State and Federal partners as we work to confirm the whereabouts and conditions of these New Yorkers.
This is a brazen violation of international law. Those detained must be released.
Our daughter, Rachel Corrie, was killed in 2003 in Gaza, while trying to protect a Palestinian home facing illegal destruction by the Israeli military. She was 23 years old. The massive, armored Caterpillar D-9 bulldozer that crushed her was operated by two Israeli soldiers and manufactured in the United States. It was the same type of militarized bulldozer that US presidents from George W. Bush through to Donald Trump have delivered to Israel.
Today, as the destruction of Palestinian homes has only become more commonplace, not to mention the horror of Israel’s genocide, Senator Bernie Sanders will force a vote in the Senate to try to end this cycle of death by banning the transfer of D-9 bulldozers to Israel. We hope he will not take this stand alone.
No policy can bring back those taken from us by these actions—children and other loved ones. But the Senate now has an opportunity to honor the memories of our daughter, other Americans, and thousands of Palestinian civilians killed, and to show that their deaths, and all the destruction, will no longer be condoned and funded. We hope those elected to represent us, the American people, understand the message that voting to block these D-9 bulldozers will send. This will not be a symbolic gesture, but a concrete step toward the protection of human life.

🚨Trump On #Iran: US In Serious Discussions With A New, And More Reasonable, Regime To End Our Military Operations In Iran – TSL
- Great Progress Has Been Made But, If For Any Reason A Deal Is Not Shortly Reached, Which It Probably Will Be, And If The Hormuz Strait Is Not Immediately “Open For Business,”
- We Will Conclude Our Lovely “Stay” In Iran By Blowing Up And Completely Obliterating All Of Their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells And Kharg Island (And Possibly All Desalinization Plants!)
This should be the biggest story in the country right now.
Barksdale is the HQ for our B52 nuclear bombers, it's where Bush sheltered on 9/11, and the drones are reported as "far more sophisticated than anything seen in Ukraine ... and well beyond Iranian capabilities."
Israel tortured a one year old in front of his father in an attempt to extract a false confession under duress.
Israel tortured a baby.
Read that again.
WATCH: Today, I went to the House floor and revealed previously redacted files that should have never been redacted.
The unredacted portion showed that Donald Trump has repeatedly lied about his knowledge of and involvement in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring.
If they are covering this up, what else is there?
