Ok I’m at EWR waiting to fly to ORD. All day.
Incoming plane landed 20 mins ago.
The PILOT 🧑✈️ of our flight just got on the speaker of the terminal to us sitting:
“Folks it’s going to be 45 min taxi due to one air traffic controller and it will be a bumpy ride” he’s based in Chicago.

Chavarria, a U.S. citizen, was held at the airport "for more than four hours and released only after he finally agreed to let the agents search his smartphone, tablet, and laptop computer. The agents...informed him that he had no Fourth Amendment right to resist." @pacificlegal.bsky.social is suing.
CBP agents held this U.S. citizen for hours until he agreed to let them search his electronic devices

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

The underground railway was originally called Subway until IP lawyers got involved.
Post your incorrect facts about history, preferably humorous
Most people don't know that the gerrymander is named after Gerry Mander.

We now learn that Fifa had a very specific "ask" in exchange for its "Peace Award" to Trump, with loads of gold trinkets, and that was dismissal of a criminal corruption case against senior Fifa officials. And Trump granted it. Another corrupt bargain, barely noticed (and ignored by US media).

The Fed delivered 25bps, but the real story is the packaging which turned out less hawkish than the markets expected. This became evident starting with the Statement, and was amplified by Chair Jerome Powell's remarks at the Press Conference.
