@Acyn You realize that when someone says something intentionally misleading like this, You’re allowed to call them a liar.

Foxx: Yes, gas jumped in the last month, but it's still a lot less expensive than it was under President Biden. Thankfully, under President Trump, gas prices were cut almost in half.

🚨WHOA!!! Gravity Just Got Outmatched… Watch a C-17 Drop Out of the Sky Using Reverse Thrust Most people think giant cargo aircraft descend slowly in wide lazy circles. Not the American 🇺🇸 C-17. What you’re seeing in this footage is one of the most aggressive controlled descents ever engineered into a military aircraft. The C-17 Globemaster can actually deploy thrust reversers while still in the air… something almost no other jet transport can safely do. When those massive engines flip into reverse thrust, the physics of the aircraft changes instantly. Instead of the engines pushing the aircraft forward… they begin fighting the forward motion of the airplane. The result is dramatic. The aircraft can transition from flying nearly parallel to the horizon… to a steep nose-down descent that looks almost perpendicular compared to the Earth below. Pilots can drop altitude incredibly fast… going from high cruising altitude to landing approach in just a couple minutes. Why does this matter? Because the C-17 was built for battlefield logistics. It was designed to fly into dangerous airspace, descend rapidly to avoid threats, land on short or rough runways, unload equipment or troops, and get back into the air before anyone has time to react. That rapid descent capability allows the aircraft to minimize time exposed to enemy radar or missile threats. The moment the thrust reversers are disengaged, the aircraft stabilizes instantly and transitions back into normal controlled flight for landing. It’s a perfect example of American aerospace engineering. Four massive turbofan engines… flight computers… and aerodynamics working together to make a 585,000-pound aircraft move like a precision instrument in the sky. For people who have never seen reverse thrust used mid-air before… this footage is a rare look at how military airlift aircraft operate when seconds matter. It’s one of the coolest demonstrations of aviation physics you’ll ever see. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

James Martin, SJ@JamesMartinSJ·
Please pray for the eternal rest of my mother, Eleanor Spano Martin, who died today at 94 in Abington, Pa. She had only recently developed pneumonia which quickly led to her death this afternoon. I can’t express in words what my sister and I are feeling, how grateful I am to God for her long life, how sad the last few days have been, how devastating it was to see her gasp for air this morning and how moving it was to see the hospice nurse rub her lips with a sponge, which made me cry when I thought about Jesus on the Cross. Today I want to thank my sister Carolyn for being my mom’s selfless and primary caregiver, especially after she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and then dementia; for Charles for being a wonderful son in law and for Charles and Matthew for being beloved grandsons. A few days ago, I was terrified I would be stuck in California because of the blizzard, and I called my mom to tell her how I would do everything to get home and she said, through her oxygen mask, “Goody gumdrops.” I thank God I got home early this morning, that a kind Jesuit plowed the car out for me yesterday so that I could drive from New York to Philly at 2 AM, pray the Rosary next to her bed (“now and at the hour of our death”), anoint her with Lourdes water and, most of all, tried to thank her for everything she had done for me: from giving me life, to driving me to school, to teaching me to draw, to baking birthday cakes, to cooking dinners, to encouraging me in my studies, to dealing with the shock of my Jesuit vocation, to being friends with all my friends, to being the biggest fan of anything I wrote or said or did. She wasn’t perfect but she was my mom in every way. The other day the First Reading was how God’s word goes out, does its work and returns to God. I kept thinking about my mom when we read it during a Mass at a friend’s house in California, especially since I was desperate to get home. Today, I kept looking at her frail body that had been through so much in the last few years—cancer, dementia, frequent falls, stitches—and saw how spent it was after it had done what God had asked it to do Nothing I could write could describe my unbelievable sadness or my deep gratitude at being with her in her last moments, as she was with me in my first moments. It would take dozens of books. Mom, I wish you sky-blue-pink days with your beloved mother and father, your brothers Larry and Louis, my dad, and all those who loved and knew you. Please pray for me and Carolyn. Saying goodbye to you today, and hugging you goodbye, was almost impossible, but I know we will see each other in the fullness of time. Love you, Mom.

Tough to watch the blockbuster Nor’easter unfold in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast and not be in the middle of it! That’s my beloved home turf. But the Sierra story is far from over. There’s important reporting still happening here after the avalanche, and those voices and this recovery effort deserve the focus. Meantime, take a look at this @weatherchannel crew! There’s no better group of meteorologists in the world to forecast this storm, in the field and at TWC HQ‼️ I’ll be ready to roll for the next one back East. For now, the High Sierra is where the storytelling still matters for my team. ❄️

@ChrisDJackson @edwardtate Spineless Republicans in congress will do nothing about this. In fact they will double down on this once Fox News talking heads start agreeing with it

@julieroginsky Very accurate assessment. Reinforced by the nature of the replies against her. Jennings is one very small step better than Jesse Waters. One very small step.

@Angry_Staffer Let’s not forget that a year ago he wanted Greenland for its rare earth minerals. The Russia/China ruse is a straw man argument.

Mitch McConnell just said the quiet part out loud on Greenland: We already have everything we need. Greenland already cooperates. Our Arctic access already exists. What Trump is proposing isn’t strategy, it’s burning allied trust for nothing. “Incinerating the hard-won trust of loyal allies” is not strength. It’s self-sabotage.

And right on cue, Trump threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act. Trump and Stephen Miller are deliberately unleashing armed government militias on Americans in order to cause the rule of law and civil order to collapse in Minnesota. It's all for a reason. This is that reason.
. tweet media
.@GregTSargent

We need to make this more explicit: The violence and civil collapse we're now seeing in Minnesota is by design. It's exactly what Trump and Stephen Miller want. MAGA is *all about* unleashing ethnic hatreds and stoking violent antagonisms among Americans. newrepublic.com/article/205293…
