So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

as i've long suspected, blue states are also full of people who hate trans people and hate trans kids ...
Both Yale and Connecticut Children's will be closing their gender clinics or limiting new prescriptions.
That leaves Connecticut without a gender clinic to provide care to trans youth despite having a robust shield law.

A big reason Dems don't control the House right now—and this murderous spending bill is possible—is Andrew Cuomo, who fucked New York's congressional redistricting as governor and helped lose us seats in Congress.

TPM’s @hunterw.bsky.social makes a convincing case - citing experts - that we should be referring to CECOT as a “concentration camp,” “penal colony,” or “permanent prison camp.”
