This is actually true. They deleted the Enola Gay's page from the Air Force website because it said "gay". Between this & the transgender mice debacle, maybe now's not the time to threaten eliminating the Department of Education.
The US military has removed photos of the B-29 bomber “Enola Gay” — which dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan — apparently because it contains the word “gay,” which violates their new anti-DEI rules.

Every inspector general that was investigating Elons companies has been fired by Trump. At least 5 at this point. That doesn’t include the FAA director that fined him and grounded his biggest rocket after it exploded over the Turks and Caicos and required planes to be rerouted.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Some cry over their candidate's loss. And some celebrate their candidate's win by threatening rape. But sure, our fears are unwarranted.

No matter what happens, it saddens me deeply that rape, felonies, trying to overthrow our democracy, misogyny, racism and transphobia are somehow not deal breaks for 10’s of millions of Americans.

NO apologies in advance for the absolute JOYOUS #SkeletonCrew MENACE I’ll become in December. If this trailer doesn’t make your heart grow three sizes, then I’m sorry about your life and I wish you liked fun.
On December 3, a new Star Wars adventure awaits. Watch the new trailer for #SkeletonCrew and don't miss the two-episode series premiere, streaming December 3, only on @DisneyPlus.

Amid rumors and claims circulating online about the number of people missing in WNC following #Helene our news partners at @WFMY reached out to emergency management offices in 30 NC counties to gather official and verified counts. Here’s what’s reported:

Triad Bee Supply is donating 60 hives to beekeepers who lost theirs in the western North Carolina floods. This is the first 20. Bees are still flying around looking for their hives so this will be a big help to those bees too.

Correction JD Vance: The vast majority of school shooters get their guns from their own home or the home of relatives, not from the cartel. #VPDebate

I will keep you updated on the tropics with accurate and truthful information. No hurricanes are heading our way into the next 7-10 days. We are still watching the Gulf, but it will be a slow process for any development there, and chances remain just 40%. If that developed at all, it would be a threat for rain for the Gulf Coast and Florida. Again, no hurricanes are coming our way, and actually, there is not much rain overall, which is a good thing right now in the Carolinas and Southeast. Remember to stick with verified sources for weather information. There is too much needless rumor and fear-mongering going on. #wncwx #ncwx #scwx #cltwx #tnwx #gawx

I also think, more than ever, you need to stick local for your weather information.

Incredible
Massive debris flow traveling at lightning speed in eastern TN! The preceding drought conditions followed by days of rain ahead of Hurricane Helene set the stage. This is incredibly rapid for a debris flow.

The voice that inspired wonder for generations of kids is now one with the Force. Thank you for a lifetime of talent, class, iconic performances, and for threatening to beat Kevin Costner with a crowbar that one time.
James Earl Jones, the revered actor who voiced ‘Star Wars’ villain Darth Vader, starred in ‘Field Of Dreams’ and many other films and is an EGOT winner, died this morning at his home in Dutchess County, NY. He was 93. Read about his life and legacy here: tinyurl.com/3bf8zn25

Sad that so many streaming services shows aren’t allowed to grow and find their footing in a season 2. The first season of a show is rarely the best and I fear we are losing a lot of great stories to season 1 cancellations only a month after a show finishes
