Absolutely insane quote from a city attorney that should have them looking for a new one.

Linked another story below it but they have a bit of a recent reputation with brown people.

Police investigate a Kansas city council member's citizenship after a complaint left via voicemail • Kansas Reflector Lenexa City Councilwoman Melanie Arroyo speaks out after city police investigate her citizenship status and require her to prove her citizenship.

This is insane:

In a brief interview after the city council meeting, McLaughlin acknowledged there was no evidence to support a complaint about Arroyo’s citizenship status.

But, he said, “just because evidence doesn’t exist doesn’t mean we don’t investigate."

To sum it up:

Greg Abbott filed a bad court thingy with the TX Supreme Court.

Ken Paxton, Abbott’s AG, told the court that Abbott got the law wrong—but said not to dismiss the case bc he plans to file his own bad court thingy.

Abbott replied: Paxton’s wrong, let me do the bad court thingy plz??

Combating Domestic Violent Extremism Is No Longer a FEMA Priority Documents obtained by WIRED show FEMA plans to direct states and tribes to halt activities intended to combat domestic violent extremism so as to align with "current administration priorities."

SCOOP from me: FEMA is planning to order states to immediately stop activities intended to combat domestic violent extremism - the latest in a broad federal move to downplay the threat:

He's that insecure kid who tries so hard to act tough to cover the insecurity and feel like he belongs.

Huge opening for that IP to be further developed in ex-US. Hard to underscore how big of a loss that is.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

Hi, former Foreign Service Officer here

The Secretary of State might be interested to learn that visa requirements and terms are generally reciprocal. We do it to them, they do it to us.

PE ruins everything

They modeled the Falcon after the B-17 and B-29, too, as I recall.

No shit

Since DOGE checks never went out, now they want to send a "tariff rebate."

Sure, let's have everyone pay higher prices so it can look like we're sending people cash.

Absolute dumbest motherfuckers.

NP! Check out the YouTube videos I linked in the replies for a landing view.

I cannot recommend it enough. My dad loved it. I had navigator seat and it was fantastic, too.

Will share more videos as I have time to edit. Had two GoPros going, one 360 and one 13, and came out with about 2.5 hours of stuff to look through 😂

Here are a couple other shots from outside!

They don't make planes like that anymore

Yeah, that was worth the whole thing before we ever took off.

Crew chief, whose dad I work with a lot in CAP, took it for me and found me after to tell me. It was awesome.

I've said some dumb shit. But... Yikes

Got to surprise my dad and go for a ride in Doc, one of two flyable B-29s in the world. If you ever get the chance to ride, do it. Wonderful experience.

And don't tell DoD, but its crew chief is the first female and the youngest in the 21st century to hold the job - at 21.

I mean, if Hatch Act is all they've got, fuck em

At least a couple of you had the common decency to leave them untucked

September and October are going to be bloodbaths. And not just because of the labor market.

Dear all:

Please note that the jobs report and unemployment numbers do not reflect the 150,000+ federal workers who are sitting at home doing nothing in an “admin leave” status, who will be rolling off the employment rolls in September.

That is all.
