The crew attempted to evacuate the Airbus A321 calmly as the cabin filled with smoke, but it devolved into chaos as passengers pushed and shoved their way to the exits. One passenger took matters into his own hands and threw the burning computer onto the tarmac.

Ohio Senator J.D. Vance introduced a bill during the 1st session of the 118th Congress that would, if passed, cost American taxpayers billions of dollars, run in the face of climate change, and would sell all of us out to the oil and gas industry.

A big part of that reinvention was a shift to climate denialism and Trump-style populism, both of which are on full view in his proposed Drive American Act.
