I’m not understanding massive flight delays after cutting the number of flights available. If there are 6% fewer flights shouldn’t arrivals be easier to schedule, even with fewer air traffic controllers? Otherwise, what’s the point, other than to piss off the public? Makes no sense.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.
12 days of work in 106 days.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together.
With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection.
If that matters to you, now’s the time to act. Donate: n.pr/458sOhq

Who is going to enforce the accountability?
A 🎯 from the great American historian @hcrichardson.bsky.social on why the Epstein scandal matters. It’s about men like Trump seeking to escape accountability for their actions. Full episode on Substack, YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts. Links in bio. open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

In 2018 Trump tore up the nuclear containment deal with Iran that President Obama negotiated . Trump said he would engage all nations in a new deal. Wrong. He didn’t. So here we are.

What great control by President Zelensky to not say “Fuck you!” and walk out. How humiliating for him to have to sit there and take it. How grotesque of Trump and Vance! All for good ratings?
In light of the disgraceful behavior by the president and vice president, every elected official, Republicans and Democrats alike, should step up to speak for freedom and the truth. If you're elected by the American people, you have some standing to try to save what can be saved of America's honor.

The United States has become an autocracy in two short weeks. The “leader” has run rough shod over every level of the Federal government. There has been no coordinated resistance by our elected
officials. This happened at a pace never before seen in any other country.
