At 5:49 p.m., air traffic controllers told pilots over the Caribbean that a SpaceX Starship rocket had exploded.

All planes were ordered to avoid an area where the Federal Aviation Administration estimated debris would fall

launches exploded at unexpected points on their flight paths,

Last year, three of Starship’s five launches exploded at unexpected points on their flight paths,
twice raining flaming debris over congested commercial airways and disrupting flights.

And while no aircraft collided with rocket parts,
pilots were forced to scramble for safety.

Minnesota state investigators say the FBI is blocking them from investigating the ICEs hooting of #Renee #Good,
a mother of three and award-winning poet
who was killed in her car on January 7.

The federal government’s claims of immunity for the ICE officer
— identified as Iraq War veteran #Jonathan #Ross
— go against precedent,

as does its refusal to cooperate with state authorities,
says Minnesota Attorney General #Keith #Ellison, who is demanding
a local and state-led investigation into Good’s homicide
and an end to the Trump administration’s “#smear #tactics” against Good.

“This is Third Reich stuff,” adds Ellison, decrying the escalation in aggressive tactics employed by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis and throughout the country.

“This is an unprecedented attack on American institutions.”

Five years after the deadly attackon the US Capitol, Donald Trump and other Republicans have engaged in a near-complete effort to #rewrite the history of the day and #erase it from the collective American memory.

On his first day in office, Trump #pardoned anyone involved in the attack, a move that affected some 1,500 people.
His administration has #paid $5m to settle a wrongful death lawsuit with the family of Ashli Babbitt, a rioter killed by a Capitol police officer as she attempted to breach doors near the House floor.
Hundreds of other rioters are also seeking millions of dollars in #compensation.
“The pardons issued last January sent a clear message to the American people:
political allegiance now matters more than criminal conduct.

But over the past year, we’ve also seen a sustained effort to rewrite the facts of January 6,
as if the historical record could be negotiated away or erased,”
said Gregory Rosen, who led the justice department unit that prosecuted January 6 cases.

“But Americans remember that day for a simple reason:
we watched it happen.
And as long as we remember what it was
– unadulterated #mob #violence
– we can speak honestly about what it means for our democracy and our future.”

A new study suggests that #dementia may be driven in part by faulty blood flow in the brain.

Researchers found that losing a key lipid causes blood vessels to become overactive,
disrupting circulation and starving brain tissue.

When the missing molecule was restored, normal blood flow returned.

This discovery opens the door to new treatments aimed at fixing vascular problems in dementia.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:

Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.

The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI.

After finding the document in the trove, I called her.
She broke down in tears.

“I’ve waited 30 years. I can’t believe it.

They can’t call me a liar anymore.”
