Congress has let drug companies rip off Americans for decades.

Lobbyists, campaign cash, and a system that protects industry profits.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

@JoshSchwerin Was working on "Real ID is coming, no seriously" in the first Obama administration ...

This seems untenable in the long term

[JM Rieger @RiegerReport]

The FAA has issued new restrictions for DCA airspace, effectively shutting down traffic when Marine One and helicopters supporting the president's travel are in the air.

On Feb. 14, ~30 airliners circled for ~60 min and 9 were diverted to other airports.

If the first officer of that other plane was recording landings ... that tells you that it was pretty sketchy already. @petemuntean

ICBM nuclear warheads are typically transported to Air Force bases in the US.

This clip shows how one is moved through Great Falls, Montana to Malmstrom AFB.

The convoy stops for no one until it reaches its final destination.

@BarredinDC “Most compostable plastic can typically break down only in industrial systems that maintain high temperatures for extended periods of time”

@BarredinDC Most use compostable PLA straws that are legal per DC guidance (or so was in 2019 when I was purchasing for a company), but in practice present the same problems if they end up in the river or elsewhere as plastic straws. They don’t compost without special processing.

@BarredinDC Come to think of it, might be a good dividing line between elder millennial and younger millennial.

[Chris Stelmarski @ski]

@BarredinDC I explained the name to someone a while ago and never felt older.

[Chris Stelmarski @ski]

@PeterHamby And yet you hear very little about it in the "discourse" ... starting to think we might be in an information bubble.

[Stephan Segraves @ssegraves]

There was an incident in 2013 involving a military helicopter and a commercial airliner at DCA that feels way too similar.
