Boarding a flight that is scheduled to land just before midnight. Here’s to hoping it lands in the United States, ideally New York! ✈️
United starting to post its Trump Flight Cancelations for Friday and the #CursedRoute is taking a 50% hit.

“Your flight is canceled due to FAA-mandated airspace restrictions during the government shutdown.“

In addition to being a YesAllWomen moment, this makes me concerned about the attentiveness of her security detail
Brava: “If I don’t file a complaint, then what message does that send to all Mexican women?” Ms. Sheinbaum said at her daily news conference, noting sexual harassment was a crime… “If this can happen to the president, what’s going to happen to all the young women & women across our country?”

This is a massive swing left for BA legislature. This previously longtime Republican body has been basically almost split even for about a decade, with a sometimes small D majority of a seat or two. +12 is radical departure
Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Let White People Be the Face of Trump’s Hunger Crisis—Opinion
Black suffering has never moved this country to act. Maybe seeing white families skip meals will finally make us admit that food insecurity isn’t fate—it’s a choice politicians keep making.

Abortion isn’t on the ballot anywhere today, but it’s a Leo campaign issue in several races. Meanwhile, in NYC, Mamdani’s affordability focus could mean more childcare for New Yorkers who can barely afford to have a family

Teen Vogue took young people seriously. It's impossible to overstate how important, how rare, and how profoundly needed that is.

Man. 60 Minutes does such important work. Investigative journalism for a mass audience from a trusted source is rare indeed in today’s U.S.

In news that will shock no one but which everyone needs to hear, abortion bans hurt the speed and quality of medical care across the board—even when treatment has nothing to do with abortion, new study shows

This headline qualifies for understatement of the year award. As journalists we like couching ( “some” or “many”) for accuracy, but find me one ACA patient who *enjoys* the rate hike.

Proposed swap: Americans to see steep insurance premium hikes under Trump and they don’t like it
Sticker shock for ACA recipients:

Clint and Cindy Kittrell, Oregon: $305/month --> $2,500/month.

Chad and Tara Smith, Idaho: $710/month --> $1,000/month.

Jessica Bunger, Florida: New premiums quadruple to $1,100/month. "I’ve never felt so powerless in my life"

Holding Jamaica in my heart
What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.

Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

SNAP is running out. Food prices are appalling. The government is closed for business. president doesn’t care.

We are all we have. Support your local food bank.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.
