Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: "Pilots need to stop depending on air traffic controllers. They need to suck it up and go with their gut feelings."
This is the stupidest and most dangerous administration in history.

“Go home”? The Ukrainians already *are* home. This war stops overnight if the Russians, and the Russians alone, go home.

Imagine being the largest newspaper in Washington, DC with the motto "Democracy Dies in Darkness" and thinking to publish this today.
You might think WaPo editors would look out the window and realize something more important is happening. But perhaps democracy already died over there.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

Can someone on a Sunday show interviewing a Republican member of Congress please play a damn montage of Trump, Vance and Hegseth making speeches to active duty military trashing Democrats and ask them if they think that is appropriate?

“Covering the content not the count” of the No Kings protests is nonsense.
The number of people protesting is a fundamental dimension of a mass protest. And it is a critical dimension of the “who” in the most basic “who what where when why how” of journalism.

…when people are too afraid or don’t care enough to speak up.
Not today.
MILLIONS of Americans and allies of freedom and democracy, here and around the world, are taking to the streets.
Showing their love of country and defiance of tyranny.
It’s a beautiful sight.
