• The Wall Street Journal’s Michelle Hackman and Tarini Parti report that Kristi Noem’s Department of Homeland Security is routinely turning to polygraph tests in a bid to root out leaks to the media, even when the information shared wasn’t classified. “Current and former DHS employees, who have worked under administrations for both parties, say they haven’t seen polygraphing used at nearly the scale Noem has directed,” Hackman and Parti report. The practice is “the centerpiece of Noem’s efforts to root out disloyalty among the 250,000-person agency she oversees, and which she has grown to distrust.”

You voted for loyalty to Kristi Noem? Shouldn't these employees be loyal to the constitution, rather than people?
It's really tragic that the Maga brains are cheering while your constitution gets chewed up by the fat turnip and his crew.

‘Not even remotely normal’: New concern over Trump’s rambling speeches, posts

[bsm2]

Bad news for Boeing. Qatar Airways has officially canceled its order for 25 Boeing 737 MAX 10 aircraft, breaking away from the narrow-body model that symbolized the airline’s brief change of direction during its dispute with Airbus.

The order was made at the 2022 Farnborough Air Show, during a tense standoff with Airbus over paint degradation on the A350 that led to the aircraft’s grounding and a legal battle. At the time, Boeing’s MAX 10 aircraft were supposed to support Qatar’s regional operations — delivery was expected by the end of 2025. That is now off the table.

In an interview with Bloomberg, CEO Badr Al-Meer confirmed the cancellation, citing the updated needs of the fleet. He highlighted the airline’s massive $96 billion order for Boeing wide-body aircraft — 160 aircraft — making it clear that Airbus remains a key player in its future plans.

Qatar is returning fully to Airbus narrow-body aircraft. With the end of the MAX order, 50 A321neos remain in service, reflecting the reestablishment of the relationship between the two parties after a public reconciliation last year.

The MAX 10’s role in Doha has always been a placeholder. Now, that role has been ended for good.
