🚨GAME CHANGER🚨
Introducing “SMART” — the new air traffic management tool that saves YOU time, cuts back DELAYS, and makes your flying experience BETTER
MORE TO COME ✈️
Dave Keating retweeted
Autosabotaje de la UE: Alemania, Francia, Italia, Reino Unido y Polonia se sentarán en la mesa de negociación con Rusia, Ucrania y Estados Unidos.
No estará la persona designada por los Tratados para esa labor: Kaja Kallas.

Q: There are thoughts that this could be an AI-related issue.
Markwayne Mullin: We call it SI around here, remember?

For years, severe weather could mean hours of delays for your flights. We’re changing that.
@FAANews is expanding its SMART platform nationwide, cutting flight times, saving millions of dollars in fuel, and keeping traffic moving even when storms hit.
Check out how the impact is already being felt on flights now 👇@cnn

CNN: CNN has just learned that the FAA has issued a nationwide ground stop for all flights because of extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety.
Now, according to information our aviation correspondent, it's limited to the communication of en route, the air route traffic. In other words, they can still communicate. But for some reason there is outages and problems with the communications that direct or that tell airplanes which way and the various route networks across the country.
What does it mean? Chaos

Todd Blanche suggests that perhaps Alice Huang isn't really a spy after all and says he has no concerns about Lutnick's alleged involvement in the Nvidia scandal
(they are circling the wagons!)

So many Democratic candidates just showed us the power of authenticity in intention and communication that people desperately want to see. This is not that.
Interestingly, Schumer’s backers are using the same line to defend him:
Baldwin: “The Brewers just had a record season, and next year is not the time to change our management.“
King: “Why would you fire the manager when you just won the World Series?”
Gallego: “When the manager takes you to the World Series, you give him another contract."

🗳️ El 29N, Europa es juga molt més que unes eleccions. Si Espanya perd la veu progressista al Consell Europeu, s’obriria la porta a una majoria de conservadors i extrema dreta que podria desmantellar el projecte europeu.
El resultat serà decisiu per a l’equilibri d’Europa.
Let's be clear about what happened today in Dublin: National leaders definitively killed the EU foreign policy chief role created in 2009 but undermined ever since.
From now on, the world will know this isn't a real role and the EU is not serious about foreign policy. A tragedy.
In the end, apparently we don't have 🇪🇺institutions in place.
The EU's national leaders today decided they will not allow the EU's foreign affairs chief to represent the Union in the 🇷🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦 peace talks - because Russia doesn't like her.
Instead they will send a team of 7 people from 🇫🇷🇩🇪🇬🇧🇵🇱🇮🇹🇪🇺 deemed less antagonistic toward Russia.
This decision is the final nail in the coffin for the EU foreign policy chief role that was created in 2009 but has been steadily undermined by national governments since then.
From now on, the world will understand that this is not a real role and the EU is not serious about foreign policy. A tragedy for the union.
But our national leaders cannot see what a self-sabotage this is in the long term. Because they are incapable of thinking long term.

Striking results - especially given that national politicians love to dismiss EU army as a some sort of wild fantasy. The poll support for an EU army here is considerably higher than public support for the euro was in France prior to its adoption in 1999
Some 71% of Europeans want the EU to have its own army, according to new polling results seen by POLITICO.

State Department spox Tommy Pigott: "American citizenship is not for sale, and we are making that clear"

Kaja Kallas humiliated today by EU leaders.
The High Representative will not be part of the European maxi team of negotiators.
Costa and von der Leyen will represent the EU. Plus E5.
So, basically everyone except the woman whose job it is to represent the EU in foreign policy.
Seven people representing Europe. That's going to be one crowded room.
Once again, Europeans are masters of self-sabotage.
The optics of this are terrible. Europe looks pathetic.
Not only can they not decide on a single voice for 🇷🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦 peace talks, they exclude the EU's foreign policy chief from the team of *7* people representing Europe - because Russia doesn't like her. davekeating.substack.com/p/n…

Kallas makes a fair point. Everyone knew her background, strengths and weaknesses when she was nominated for a key role as part of a package deal signed off by all. Now, when things get serious, you want to sideline her and dismantle the institution? It says far more about the people who put her there than it does about Kallas herself, who is doing what anyone in her position would do: fight to keep the job.
