@americanair.bsky.social AA839 at SeaTac just sitting at gate at and passengers can’t deplane because of a non-functioning jetbridge. Any reason why we can’t get some updates about when we can expect to get off the plane? Pilot says “not sure how they are going to resolve this.”

I just held a rally in Plano, TX — a red part of the state — and 1,000 people showed up.
Many said it was their first political rally ever.

In his pursuit of a debunked relationship between vaccines & autism, RFK Jr. will hunt for its causes through a massive invasion of privacy. He’ll examine insurance claims, EMRs,& wearables. It will draw upon records from Medicare & Medicaid, which cover 40% of Americans. #PublicHealthMalpractice

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.
So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.
