I bet fliers would be in a better mood if the Trump administration didn’t just rip away rules that make airlines compensate people for canceled and delayed flights.
Trump's Transportation Secretary on how to improve air travel:

"People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly... We want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season, help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

When Trump calls journalists, in this case women, “insubordinate” and “piggy,” it’s not just crude disrespect—it’s a loud warning. He wants a press that obeys him, and he’s working to normalize that kind of rulership. Jeff Nesbit’s analysis on this is a must read.

The sooner we can rid our nation of this monster, holding him and those who enabled his crimes accountable, the better off we'll all be. Then we can get to work reforming our political and economic systems, making both more fair and accountable to most Americans.

Fascinating. And so important for Democrats to acknowledge. Immigrants, including the quarter here unlawfully, want tight border security and admission policies. But not reckless mass deportation of non-criminals by masked federal bullies. In other words, they agree with a majority of all Americans.

I warned that private equity taking over Walgreens would be bad for workers.

This is the private equity playbook: they hollow out businesses, cheat their workers, and drive them into the ground.

The Trump administration planned to kick thousands of American seniors off of their disability benefits.

We pushed back — and now, they're backing off.

We always feared the Trump administration would try to sell out Ukraine, and now it appears they are on board with Russian demands. Russia can’t militarily occupy Donbas or weaken the Ukrainian army, so Putin wants Trump to back his demands. #StandWithUkraine #NAFO www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/w...
