Remember that a majority of US voters voted for Donald Trump.
I guess MAGA folks have a problem with math. Somehow 49.8% is a majority in MAGA math.
And 48.3% for Harris, so Trump won the popular vote by 1.5%. Hardly the mandate / landslide they claim.

But seriously, the engines are pretty close to the ground,
Right, it was a 737. Just Googled a few images, I forgot how low the engines are. Still, unlucky bunnies.
It's just way less common than bird ingestion.
Hopefully, this case only happens on the ground.
The month before that a 737 caught fire after sucking a rabbit into an engine.
A rabbit? How the F does that happen?
I hope it was, somehow, the rabbit that was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Agreed. Someone commented that a political crisis, especially one of your own making, isn't one of the valid reasons to release grand jury information. As you noted, throwing this to the courts will just result in (a) delay and (b) the judge as the withholding scapegoat. It's ironic, though predictable, that in this case the Trump DOJ will be willing to abide by a judicial ruling rather than following Emil Bove's advice of F-U.
Trump's action of suing the WSJ and Rupert Murdoch over the story about his apparent birthday card to Epstein is a similar ploy. Pursuing this will require depositions, under oath, from Trump, probably with inconvenient questions about his relationship with Epstein - which he definitely won't do while in office - forestalling any progress until he's out of office, while currently rallying his base around him, as the story and his denial seem to be doing. It's also not clear that a sitting President can even sue someone about personal things while in office, even from just a practical standpoint. (There are rules/laws against suing the President and you'd think the reasons for them are reciprocal.) In any case it seems he'll be using the DOJ as his personal attorneys while Congress and SCOTUS sit idly by.

Bondi will release one page with the name Hillary Clinton scribbled in sharpie.
Well, they will have flagged and redacted all the pages about Trump
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, says he has received information that Attorney General Pam Bondi “pressured” about 1,000 FBI personnel to comb through tens of thousands of pages of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and flag any mention of President Trump.
Citing “information my office received,” Durbin said Bondi “pressured the FBI to put approximately 1,000 personnel in its Information Management Division” on 24-hour shifts to review about 100,000 Epstein-related records as part of a broader effort to release documents publicly by what Durbin called “an arbitrarily short deadline.”
Durbin says his office was told FBI personnel were “instructed to ‘flag’ any records in which President Trump was mentioned.”
[In his letter to Bondi, Patel, and Bongino Durbin asked] “Is there a log of the records mentioning President Trump? If yes, please transmit a copy of the committee and the OIG,” he wrote, referring to the Judiciary panel and the Office of Inspector General.
Welcome to the Trump Deep State?
Lest I comment on another country's politics but Ars Technica's headline came up in my RSS feed. I mean, wow, she's not holding back.
Trump to sign stablecoin bill that may make it easier to bribe the president
I thought that was what the $TRUMP meme coin was for -- silly me.
Trump is obviously senile.
The signs are there. For example, Trump, 79, Can’t Remember Appointing His Own Fed Chair
“He’s a terrible Fed chair. I was surprised he was appointed,” the president vented. “I was surprised, frankly, that Biden put him in and extended him.”
However, it was Trump who appointed Powell to lead the Federal Reserve during his first term. In his Nov. 2017 announcement, the president praised Powell’s leadership, judgement and expertise.'
Even worse is his completely made-up "brag" about his uncle teaching the Unabomber at MIT. Fact check: Trump tells fictional story about his uncle and the Unabomber
Trump was speaking at a Pennsylvania event about energy and innovation when he said he had to “brag just for a second” about his uncle’s intelligence. After wrongly saying his uncle was “the longest-serving professor in the history of MIT” (he was one of the longest-serving but not the very longest) and wrongly saying his uncle’s three university degrees were “in nuclear, chemical, and math” (two were in electrical engineering and one was in physics), the president claimed, “Kaczynski was one of his students.”
He went on to tell a story about having asked his uncle about what Kaczynski was like. “‘I said, ‘What kind of a student was he, Uncle John?’ Dr. John Trump. I said, ‘What kind of a student?’ And then he said, ‘Seriously, good.’ He said, ‘He’d correct – he’d go around correcting everybody.’ But it didn’t work out too well for him.”
For two big reasons, this story could not possibly be accurate.
First, the president’s uncle died in 1985. Kaczynski was publicly revealed as the Unabomber more than a decade later, in 1996, when he was captured; before that, he had lived as a recluse in the Montana wilderness. There is no apparent reason that Donald Trump would have been asking anyone about Kaczynski in 1985 or earlier.
Second, Kaczynski attended Harvard University and the University of Michigan, not MIT. An MIT spokesperson said in a Wednesday email: “We have no enrollment record or information that Ted Kaczynski ever attended MIT.”
Why people and reporters continually give him a pass on this stuff when he says it is beyond me.
Does this mean making bribes, deals, or threats?
Maybe he reminded them they're in the Epstein files and *he* gets to decide what gets released
Because I thought passing legislation was mostly supposed to be about reading, understanding, deciding, and voting.
Hah, you're funny.
Even when they do, they make bad choices. Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) is now trying to pass legislation to repeal the Medicaid cuts in the BBB, that he voted for -- guess he wants it both ways with his constituents. Hawley seeks to repeal Medicaid cuts he voted for
MAGA is amazing at following orders. Look how they keep voting against releasing the Epstein files.
Not sure Trump actually wants everything released. Remember he said Bondi could release "all pertinent grand jury files" -- meaning (a) she gets to decide what's "pertinent", but (b) grand jury files only have a fraction of the information and (c) the judge probably won't release anything because Maxwell has a pending appeal on counts 1-5 and possible re-trial on count 6. But it *looks* like he's trying to be transparent while setting Bondi up to get thrown under the bus.
Too bad people don't all have sunglasses, they might see the truth.
The president on Friday suggested that he spoke to the holdouts individually on the phone to persuade them
Trump, Vance and his people support Crypto. Wonder why
Trump has the biggest stake in crypto, worth at least $51 million.
JD Vance
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also reportedly had at least $500,000 in digital assets before being sworn in, but [reportedly] divested them.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard both reported holdings under $1 million, and Gabbard reportedly divested her holdings before taking office.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who reported holding between $1 million and $5 million in crypto.
Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, who holds between $1 million and $2 million in digital currencies.
Scott Kupor, the guy Trump tapped to lead the Office of Personnel Management, reportedly holds almost $10 million in crypto,
I've spent time on the difficult end of black-boxing a BINARY file format. You jokers with your XML and LABELS have it faaaaaar too easy. Here, I'll tell you my secret:
Gather as many saved files as you can, from as diverse of a group as possible. (there is NO upper limit, literally grab as many as you can) Write a short little test script to import and then export every single one. Then compare the export with the original. Refer the mismatches to the dev. I had over 1,000 test files in my suite, and in the initial release only a SINGLE flag was missed, because of all those test files, nobody implemented that feature and the dev guessed the storage would be the same as EVERY other one. (it turned out to be quite unique)
Oh and as for XML depth.... it's RECURSION. It literally does not care if it's 5 levels or 200 levels deep. (unless your IDE has a truly pathetic stack size)
So it's not difficult. QYB.
