 | Tuesday, March 11, 2025 | | Good Morning! On this day 136 years ago, the Great Blizzard of 1888, one of the worst blizzards in American history, struck the Northeast, killing over 400 people and dumping up to 55 inches of snow in certain areas. Today, the nation honors the itinerant American wanderer John Chapman on Johnny Appleseed Day. Chapman introduced apple trees across the frontier, though mainly as a source of apple cider for pioneers who often lacked access to clean drinking water. Today we're sponsored by our friends at LMNT, who offer the best way to stay hydrated this spring. | | | X Platform Hit by Major Hack Attacks Elon Musk's X was hit by a large-scale cyberattack on Monday, triggering multiple separate outages that left tens of thousands of users unable to access the social media platform. The pro-Palestinian hacker group Dark Storm Team claimed responsibility, and Musk suggested a foreign country may also be involved. Tech site Downdetector reported more than 40,000 outage complaints, with the heaviest disruptions along the U.S. coasts. | Ships Collide, Explode, Spill Jet Fuel Officials confirmed that a U.S. tanker carrying jet fuel was struck by a container ship in the North Sea off England's coast on Monday, causing multiple explosions, fires on both vessels, and a fuel spill. The Portugal-registered Solong container ship collided with the anchored MV Stena Immaculate, an American-registered ship, rupturing a tank of Jet A-1 fuel intended for U.S. Navy ships. Lifeboats and aircraft were dispatched to the scene, and all 36 mariners across both crews were rescued, with one person taken to the hospital. See rescue footage here. The cause of the crash remains undetermined, though heavy fog was reported at the time of the incident. | Biden Officials Lose Security Clearance Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced Monday that dozens of current and former Biden-era officials had their security clearances revoked following an agency review. Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken and former National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan were among those who lost their security clearances, along with Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, and the 51 signers of the Hunter Biden laptop "disinformation" letter. Perhaps the most notable name was former President Biden himself, who will no longer receive access to the President's Daily Brief. Biden previously barred Trump from classified briefings following the events of Jan. 6, 2021. President Trump initiated the process of revoking security clearances with an executive order he signed in February. Love reading The Flyover?
