I’ve spoken with 60 air traffic controllers tonight about what Sean Duffy said at the White House today. None of them are buying what he said because they said these types of switches that the FAA is doing, they don’t happen during the day, they don’t happen during busy times like a Friday afternoon. They’re doing these midweek, middle of the night when there is no air traffic going on. The controllers were saying, “We don’t buy that this is actually what’s happening, the reason that Sean Duffy is saying this has happened.”
Thinking about when I was support for 100 real estate brokers in an office and we had to set them up with 2-factor authentication for Outlook and I just started twitching involuntarily.
Thoughts and prayers right now to all the law firm IT team guys who are struggling to communicate to the managing partner that this outage is G L O B A L
I'm of the firm belief that Sameer Gadhia of Young the Giant should be hyped just as much as Brandon Flowers and Brendan Urie for his vocals.

@Lady_of_Paradox I'm literally making a half-ass shepherds pie with ground beef, canned veggies and boxed mashed potatoes right this minute. No ketchup or BBQ, just beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. I'm gonna sprinkle cheese on top before broiling too.
Giancarlo Esposito says his grandfather was minutes from execution until Mussolini needed him to find an opera set
"And when Mussolini came in, many, many people were opposed to him. My grandfather was responsible for all these operas"
"Now my grandfather was a drinker, he liked his alcohol, and he would drink a little too much and he'd be found in the street cursing out Mussolini"
Josh: "As one does"
Giancarlo: "As one does. And he was immediately put in jail. And over and over again, he was let out. And Mussolini would wanna see operas and of course that incensed him"
"Five minutes away from a firing line, they had marched him out and the phone call came in, 'I'm looking for Esposito. Where's Esposito? Where's Esposito?' 'Why? Why?' 'Because I wanna see Madame Butterfly and he knows where the set is'"
"And literally was saved very close to losing his life. And he delivered that set and then he and my father raced away to the resistance in the mountains and finally left Naples, that call was too close for comfort"
No but seriously, JB for President.
Talarico, El-Sayed, and Ossoff are amazing generational talents that need to stay in their states to fix serious institutional rot for the next cycle. Pritzker's had his foot on the GOP neck for years now.
Let him cook.
🌊Some highlights from JB Pritzker's "Day One" Agenda--his demands to the new Democratic Congress for legislation that should be introduced immediately:
🔵 Tariff refund checks to all Americans, with interest
🔵 Allow private lawsuits against ICE for constitutional violations
🔵 Make home medical care a required Medicaid benefit
🔵 Codified standards that bar agencies from cancelling grants over shifting "agency priorities"
🔵 Modernize SSI: raise the $2,000 asset limit (frozen since 1989) and end marriage penalties
🔵 Tax-exempt bond financing for new nuclear plants
🔵 A federal agency or oversight standards for dealing with gambling addiction nationally
🔵 Legislation making disaster aid based on measurable need, never on how a state voted
Call me crazy but I don't think it's a good idea to make someone Speaker of the House if they do things like have secret meetings with Kushner (a literal traitor that paid a hitman to kill a journalist) to plan how our country can serve Israel.
Especially considering the rebuke of pro-Israel candidates that gave us the majority to begin with.....
