Congratulations to the Toronto Blue Jays on a magnificent season. It is a shame either team had to lose. And this was a gut punch. 💔💔

Classy players, fanbase, and truly one of the finest cities in the world.

Future is bright with Yeasavage, Barger, and Vladdy.

Now go re-sign Bo.

There is no shame ever in being a valiant worthy opponent and Blue Jays certainly did us all proud!
They should hold their heads high

Since Canada signed its free trade agreement with Chile, our bilateral merchandise trade has nearly quadrupled.
 
President Gabriel Boric and I are building on that success with a new strategic partnership that will leverage our strengths in critical minerals, clean energy, and defence.

80% of air traffic controllers absent at New York facilities.

The system is at breaking point.
The FAA @FAANews• 42m • • . Nearly 13, 000 air traffic controllers have been working without pay for weeks, ensuring the safety of more than 50,000 daily operations across the national airspace system (NAS). As we head into this weekend, a surge in callouts is straining staffing levels at multiple facilities, leading to widespread impacts across the NAS. Currently, half of our Core 30 facilities are experiencing staffing shortages, and nearly 80 percent of air traffic controllers are absent at New York-area facilities. After 31 days without pay, air traffic controllers are under immense stress and fatigue. The shutdown must end so that these controllers receive the pay they've earned and travelers can avoid further disruptions and delays. As we continue to reiterate, we will never compromise on safety. When staffing shortages occur, the FAA will reduce the flow of air traffic to maintain safety. This may result in delays or cancellations. 十

Rage farming.
So-Ford/Smith/PP 18 yo son gets a sext frm 17yrGF keeps on phone accesses it later Legally child porn
Mandatory min puts him in prison 1 year.
Conditional sentence more appropriate- a judge can decide

This literally makes no sense:

"The administration says it is relying on the same legal authority used by the Bush administration when it declared a war on terrorism after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks."

And the reporting doesn't question it.
