NEW: President Trump has signed an executive order to scrap regulations that ban supersonic commercial air travel.

The supersonic flight regulation was imposed in 1973 due to noise concerns.

Trump's order "seeks to revolutionize supersonic aviation in the United States" by letting aircraft fly faster than the speed of sound.

"The US used to be the global leader in this technology, but stifling regulations have grounded progress for generations," said director of the WH Office of Science and Technology Policy, Michael Kratsios.

"The reality is that Americans should be able to fly from New York to LA in under four hours."

More from the White House:

- This Order removes regulatory barriers so that U.S. companies can dominate supersonic flight once again.

- The Order directs the FAA to repeal the prohibition on overland supersonic flight, establish an interim noise-based certification standard, and repeal other regulations that hinder supersonic flight.

- The Order instructs the FAA Administrator to establish a standard for supersonic aircraft noise certification that considers community acceptability, economic reasonableness, and technological feasibility.

- The Order advances the coordination of supersonic research, development, test and evaluation efforts through the National Science and Technology Council with leadership from the Office of Science and Technology Policy.

- It promotes international engagement through the FAA and other agencies to align global supersonic flight regulations and secure bilateral agreements for international operations.

The following video is a collaboration between Boom Supersonic and United Airlines, showing what the future could look like with supersonic flights.

COE campgrounds operate off the money they generate, unless they can’t cover costs.

You think that GSMNP is a COE campground???

National Parks are run off money they are appropriated, not what they collect.

I'm not sure how COE funds campgrounds but I'm pretty sure it's not as you describe.

No, I know the COE and the National Park system are completely separate.

Hidden in the BBB is a giveaway to a Chilean mining company. To mine nickel and copper on public lands located on the headwaters of The Boundary waters canoe area. Mining pollution will destroy the only park of its kind in America.
I wonder what Donnie gets paid for this.

Hard to belive people voted for this. But to many did and look what you got. Disgusting

Newsom floats withholding federal taxes as Trump threatens California

“Californians pay the bills for the federal government. We pay over $80 BILLION more in taxes than we get back,” the Democratic governor said in an X post Friday afternoon, referencing a recent analysis from the Rockefeller Institute that California contributed about $83 billion more in federal taxes in 2022 than it received back from Washington.

“Maybe it’s time to cut that off,” he added.

Two massive egos that cannot stand criticism. One, a brilliant, true billionaire, but on the spectrum. The other a skeeving conman. Who will come out on top ?

Anyone else notice that now he can say nice things about Musk since he’s no longer friend’s with Trump?

I saw a clip of this episode where Patel claims they have the video, they didn't see anything suspicious, and Joe brings up that we were told the cameras weren't working at the time. To which Patel says something like "idk who said that hehehe"

But really, could we expect any more from a man that got his job because he wrote a children's book slobbing Donald ?
