HMM: United flight from SFO disrupted by ‘possible drone strike.’ “The pilots aboard United flight 1980 reported the strike prior to arriving at San Diego International Airport around 8:30 a.m. The airline said the flight landed safely and the 48 passengers deplaned without interference.

🚨 Musk's lawyers just showed the jury the most damaging document in evidence on Brockman:
November 2017 Brockman writes in his private diary:

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: The Democrats’ Gerrymander Gloating Hits a Brick Wall. “Democrats have been operating ‘under the cover of civil rights law’ to racially gerrymander themselves into Congress. Our new junior senator from Arizona — Ruben Gallego — got his start in Washington by being elected to the House of Representatives from one such district. SCOTUS righted a wrong, and the Dems are apoplectic. Expect the progressive ‘pack the court’ talk to get louder now.”
NARRATIVE: TRUMP IS THE MOST UNPOPULAR PRESIDENT IN HISTORY!
Reality:
In July 2022, the @RCPolitics average had Joe Biden's job approval at net -19.9. Donald Trump's current RCP average is net -15.6 — i.e, despite everything, Trump is STILL more popular than Mr. Eighty-One Million Votes. pic.twitter.com/TxjdDg9Ovj

THE ELECTION OF BARACK OBAMA WAS A TRAGEDY FOR THE NATION ON MANY LEVELS:
An ex president has three choices
1. Retire from the public stage
2. Speak only in unifying terms
3. Stay engaged as a partisan, with the dishonesty or selective truth that demands
It's a tremendous shame that President Obama has chosen the last path. https://t.co/ZnyCl4VPqA

WELL, GOOD: Biden-Era ‘Gun Dealer’ Rule Dead.
Decisions by decision, the Trump47 Administration is sweeping away un-American Biden regulatory overreach. A lot of us may be frustrated by the pace of change, with things that should have been overturned in 2025 still lingering on into this year. But the aircraft carrier of state can take quite a while to turn.
Case in point: A Biden-era ATF proposal to make ordinary American citizens register as gun dealers if they want to sell a single gun, a rule the Department of Justice finally stopped trying to defend.
The administration doesn’t always start off on the right foot on gun policy, but they usually come around.
K-12 IMPLOSION UPDATE:
At its height, the NYC public school system educated 1.2 million kids a year. Ten years ago that dropped below 1 million. The current estimates are about 880,000. Ten years from now it could be only 700,000. And yet the budget just keeps going up. https://t.co/0tu5Re0Jlb
