Scary incident on Delta Air Lines ... a plane crashed and flipped upside down after landing.

The airport says the incident happened Monday when a Delta flight from Minneapolis was landing.

Promises to drastically lower Americans' energy bills turns out to be just another empty promise. Hundreds of Alabama residents are now facing a $100 surcharge on their energy bills thanks to xxxxx's actions. Apparently, ‘slashing energy costs’ really meant ‘revoking grants for low-income residents.’
About 250 customers received a letter stating that their accounts would be debited $100 because xxxxx's executive order froze a grant designed to help with energy bills. The executive order, titled ‘Unleashing American Energy,’ halted the disbursement of funds from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which provided a supplemental $100 to eligible households.
While xxxxx claimed his order would address ‘high energy costs,’ it's actually having the opposite effect in Alabama. As Daniel Tait of the Energy Policy Institute put it, xxxxx's promise is turning out to be a [SIZE=6]‘blatant con job.’[/SIZE]

[HEADING=2]Trump snaps back at Zelenskyy, blaming Ukraine for the war[/HEADING]
The Ukrainian president has been excluded from the administration’s negotiations with Russia seeking an end to the war.

President Donald Trump mocked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a poor negotiator and “grossly incompetent” Tuesday, as tensions continued to rise over the administration’s direct talks with Russia about ending the war it launched nearly three years ago.

The comments come amid criticism from European allies and many American intelligence experts that Ukraine and European nations invested in Ukraine’s defense had been excluded from negotiations that began early Tuesday between U.S. and Russian officials in Saudi Arabia.
