Duffy handed the company behind AI system that caused today’s groundstop a $1 BILLION contract in June 2026…
3 months AFTER they donated to his son-in-law @MikeAlfonsoWi’s congressional campaign in Duffy’a old seat.
It’s the most corrupt administration in American history.
Marine heat waves have reached rare "beyond extreme" intensity levels near Southern California, Ecuador, Peru and northern Chile as El Niño's warmth spreads.
That's the highest level on this scale and represents a huge departure from typical conditions.
Peoria, Illinois Mayor Rita Ali says authorities have confirmed at least one active bomb at the BioUrja Renewables ethanol plant, the former ADM facility at 1 Edmund Street.
Police have urged anyone living or working within a one mile radius to evacuate until further notice. The evacuation covers parts of Peoria and East Peoria, and Illinois State Police say numerous I-74 ramps into Peoria are closed. Local, state and federal authorities are on scene.
What a fucking idiot.
Trump admin has been in place for two years, and the GOP blocked investment in transit upgrades.
Meanwhile Elon and DOGE cut FAA/ATC personnel, including maintenance budgets and farmed out contracts to private companies.
We’re now learning a private company attached to the ATC system is the one that pushed the failing update.
🚨🇩🇪🇮🇱 ÚLTIMA HORA: Angela Merkel defiende FIRMEMENTE a Israel y cuestiona la HIPOCRESÍA internacional hacia el Estado judío.
Estas son sus declaraciones:
1. Sobre las dificultades de Israel para combatir a Hamás en zonas civiles:
«Si intentamos ponernos en el lugar del primer ministro de Israel, comprendemos que se trata de una misión extremadamente difícil.
Si debajo de cada jardín de infantes y de cada hospital hay un búnker donde se esconden miembros de Hamás, que saben que la única manera de destruir sus posiciones es atacar también lo que hay encima, la misión se vuelve todavía más compleja.
El primer ministro de Israel debe hacer todo lo posible para garantizar la seguridad de sus ciudadanos, exactamente como los ciudadanos alemanes esperan que sus dirigentes garanticen la suya».
2. Sobre la ausencia de críticas a Hamás desde Gaza:
«Lo que me sorprende es que hayamos escuchado muy pocas voces desde la Franja de Gaza criticando a Hamás y confrontando sus acciones».
3. Sobre el trato internacional hacia Israel:
«Si analizamos cuánto se habla de Yemen, donde millones de niños sufren hambre, cuánto se habla de Sudán y cuánto se habla de Israel, podemos observar cierta desproporción: prácticamente no existe debate sobre lo que ocurre en otros lugares».
4. Sobre la responsabilidad de Alemania de garantizar la existencia de Israel:
«El derecho de Israel a existir forma parte del interés nacional fundamental de Alemania.
Siempre debo recordar cómo puedo contribuir a garantizar que el Estado de Israel siga existiendo y, preferiblemente, que también pueda vivir en paz».
5. Sobre las posturas contra Israel en Alemania:
«Si nos tomamos en serio el derecho de Israel a existir, y creo que debemos hacerlo, hay determinadas declaraciones unilaterales que no puedo comprender y que rechazo categóricamente.
El partido de izquierda Die Linke, en Berlín, tiene un problema particular en este sentido».
Gracias, Angela. 🇩🇪❤️🇮🇱
🚨 JUST IN: HUGE OUTAGES are now impacting WALMART, TARGET and other corporate systems used for pay info, time off, and benefits
Workday says a problem surfaced while TESTING ITS BACKUP SYSTEMS, leaving some data scrambled.
This is RIGHT after Microsoft's massive outage, and the FAA outages happening today
Just an insane chain of events where things seem to just be breaking ‼️
A White House briefing is about to commence!
Saw this earlier today. Evidently, the FAA installed an AI tool to take care of air control (i think it was) yesterday. And these self driving cars..AI assist..so are we seeing the beginning of some sort of AI corruption affecting multiple platforms? What's next banks, water, electricity grids? Who knows.
If you’re looking for the truth, here it is. Pete Buttigieg explains what his team did when the system went down and gives credit to the career staff doing that work today. Worth hearing in his own words.
Do I have this right?
Per condescending troglodytes Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum the copper wires overloaded? It had nothing to do with AI?
They really think we are stupid, don’t they?
WHY DID THE COPPER WIRES BECOME OVERLOADED TODAY?!
But, but Congress was bad!
Hey YeeHaw McMullin YOU WERE IN THAT CONGRESS.
It took them 4 freaking hours to figure out how to not blame AI & this administration and THAT was the best they could come up with?!
Wtaf.
Welp, now Mullin & Duffy can add another inquiry to their calendars.
International law is clear: Under Article 19 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, civilian hospitals lose their special protection when used for acts harmful to the enemy outside their humanitarian duties, including terrorist military operations.
At the end of another long week, I want to say thank you to everyone who sent words of encouragement and support.

Worth noting: The President, who goes on unhinged posting sprees at all hours of the day and night about the most petty, hateful, trivial nonsense, has somehow found nothing to say about a frightening nationwide aviation ground stop that has stranded Americans for hours. Not a single word of reassurance, or a word of concern. Nothing. You’d think he could spare 30 seconds between grievances to reassure the American people.
🚨🇮🇱 ÚLTIMA HORA: Israel eliminó al comandante de Hamás en Khan Yunis, responsable de una sala de torturas a palestinos disidentes en el hospital Nasser, junto a otros altos mandos terroristas.
Hamás utiliza hospitales para torturar palestinos.
¡A cada perro le llega su día!
🚨 Duffy hasn't explained why this FAA ground stop occurred (we know telecomms but not if the SMART system was connected to it) but he's using it as reason to pour additional $30 billion more into overhauling air traffic control system. Now he's asking for $50 billion. They've already received $12.5 billion last year.
Meanwhile, the air traffic controllers working all but 4 days a month, 60-hour weeks were given a modest 2.8% pay raise in April that the FAA still hasn't paid out to them. Controllers have been messaging me all night saying they expected Duffy to use this as a reason to get more money, but that it would not benefit controllers.
