I've heard the ATC recording. It may *or may not* be as open-and-shut as it sounds, that an air-traffic controller had too much to keep track of and gave a fatal instruction. Investigation will give a fuller picture.
Regardless, the ATC shortage is a crisis.

NEW: Trump Has Detained the Parents of More Than 11,000 U.S. Citizen Kids
A ProPublica analysis of new ICE data shows that Trump has detained parents of U.S. citizen children at about twice the rate that Biden did, and moms have been deported four times as often.

In Bovino's upside down world, there is no difference between an armed gang member preying on others in his community and a guy working 12 hours a day washing cars, flipping burgers, or installing sheetrock to feed his family — and he wants you to hate and fear both men equally.
Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

The discharge petition to force a vote on the Epstein Files only received a handful of GOP votes.
But when we get the actual vote to release them, I'm presuming we'll see a whole lot more, right?
"Congressman _____ voted against releasing the Epstein Files" isn't an ad you want before the midterms

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
