Getting this rule in place was the highest priority for the senior senator from Vermont when flight cancellations were slightly elevated in 2022 and the guy who beat him in Iowa was transportation secretary
The Trump admin is killing a Biden-era proposal that would have required airlines to pay passengers up to $775 in cashfor significant travel disruptions within carriers' control.

Whatever Trump is desperately covering up about Epstein, it’s clearly so bad that he thinks it could destroy him

So they've gone from saying that we need progressive candidates to unlock the electorate who is disengaged with promise if a working class revolution to saying any Democrat can win, so we should look for more Tlaibs. I suppose that's learning
Want change? Work to get 80+ AOC/Ilhan Omar/Rashida Tlaibs in Congress.
No more Dems who say standing up to Trump doesn’t work. No more Dems who say we need to abandon trans people. No more Dems who say we went “too far left.”
Any Democrat can win in 2026. You can afford to be discerning.

Wow you're telling me that during a week when his employer was shown to have gross misconduct about the relationship between one of their reporters and a notorious pedophile who was pals with the president, Jamelle writes a piece from the sidelines about what Democrats are doing wrong?

"You have to be loyal to a dream country rather than to the one to which you wake up every morning. Unless such loyalty exists, the ideal has no chance of becoming actual.”
Andrew Jackson made reins out of human skin and committed genocide. Thomas Jefferson was also a child rapist. Jefferson, Washington, Madison, Monroe, and Jackson (among others) thought owning humans was cool. Richard Nixon and George W. Bush both have seven figures worth of deaths on their heads.

I believe that if the entirety of the leaders of liberal democracies stood up to Trump rhetorically like this, or even the milder Mark Carney during his campaign version, much harm would be avoided and their citizens would reward them. The EU is really failing

One of the parties in the 2024 election replaced its candidate with 100 days to go because he was occasionally having difficulty speaking publicly
Trump: "Christians and more, think of this, more than twice as likely foster care they'll adopt the general population. They adopt to it so easily. When they get out, they adopt to it like it's become second nature. It's amazing."

I think that there are three specific institutions (journalism, federal courts, and the Senate) where yes, there are certain ways they "work" that can explain decision making and you don't know the details if you aren't there, but that doesn't mean that people asking Qs are ignorant or bad faith.
"I'm a rando who prefers to believe that everything is a conspiracy and am happy to tell women that I know better than she does how their literal job works" That a news org makes an editorial decision you wouldn't (or I wouldn't) doesn't mean someone is killing a story on behalf of a powerful person
"I write for the New York Times, and I can assure you that we've never buried stories on behalf of powerful people, many of those powerful people being part of NYT management. We only publish what's fit to print, like Zohran's application to Columbia that was leaked by a white nationalist"

The idea that we needed to keep federal employees from being paid so that the Trump admin would keep doing unpopular things like trying to starve people is belied by their actions since the government reopened, where they are still going on TV trashing the idea of feeding people
