I'm trying to guage the meaning of that facial expression but I'm not a terrible person so I don't think I've ever made it. It looks like he simultaneously realized that he did do that, tried to calculate the quickest way out of the room, a dash of pokerface to hide his shame, some frustration and anger, defeat and acceptance. Did I get that right?

Probably, though I can't see him going a whole half a year without childishly lashing out about it. I certainly can see Trump throwing Truth Social under the bus the second they stop providing personal gain to him though, so RIP in advance to them. Once he's gone their userbase is most likely going with him.

Adam Schiff, former chair of the House Intelligence Committee, has announced a run for the California US Senate, alongside rep. Katie Porter. Though it is unclear whether incumbent Dianne Feinstein- who has filed with the FEC to run for her seventh term in the Senate- will actually run, especially due to anonymous concerns from fellow Democratic senators that she may be suffering from Alzheimer's in office, this bit caught my attention. Schiff reportedly announced his run after Feinstein told him to "go forward" with the run. This almost implies that Schiff needed her permission in order to run, which raises concerns about the perception that it is inappropriate for a candidate to challenge a long-serving incumbent, particularly when that incumbent is facing questions about their age and mental decline. Any serious candidate should have the opportunity to participate in a primary contest against an elected official, regardless of their established political status, and Feinstein's position should not exempt her from such scrutiny.

Perhaps Schiff likes Feinstein, respects her position and career, and did not want to cost her her seat?

I think you missed my point. I'm saying perhaps he does not wish to primary her unless she is on board with it. You're removing Schiff's agency here, or at least presuming it to be a in favor of running for this seat in all circumstances. Perhaps his desire for this seat is contingent on her wishes.

What is going on with your air-traffic control, America? I've heard not great things, but sweet zombie Odin:
FR24 isn't typically that accurate to the small vertical distances shown, but at what looks like a 40-foot differential in plane altitudes they missed by somewhere between microns and 100 feet. Visibility was also seemingly not wonderful.
