Two weeks ago, the commander overseeing Trump’s bombings in the Caribbean Sea abruptly resigned. Republicans haven’t heard from him—and they don’t apparently want to.

Far too few realized Biden was the bridge between the past and the future. He privileged workers over “job creators.” He oversaw a dramatic increase in hourly wages. Unemployment, especially Black unemployment, had rarely been lower.
For these reasons and more, elites hated Biden.

‘Nobody thought it was going to last this long’: Trump increasingly frustrated as shutdown approaches record length
White House officials, at the start of the shutdown, were certain the Trump administration was better positioned to battle the left during a funding lapse.
They were so wrong.

MAGA tolerated white nationalists like Fuentes and others, and right-wing conservative Zionist Jews partnered with these racists even though the rest of us warned them.
But leopards eat faces.
Next, MAGA is coming for Indian right-wing voters who also thought they were safe.

What kind of “government” needs to be convinced to not tear gas in streets where children are trick-or-treating “so they can spend Halloween weekend without fear” and “not be robbed of their innocence”?

Republicans sure are pulling out all the stops to wield the government against Texas Democrats. Warrants, FBI, court processes. Not a second wasted. Goes to show that if they *wanted* to bring Epstein's clients to justice, they could. They just don't want to.

The details about this Delta pricing scheme keep getting worse. Consumers already feel exploited, we don't need some nasty AI program to make it worse. Also: American & Southwest say they will NOT be following Delta's lead....
My coworker @chafkin.bsky.social got ahold of an internal white paper from Fetcherr, the AI pricing company that is working with Delta and other airlines to make fare prices even more erratic for consumers. It details what the company calls the “exploitation phase”: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
AI Flight Pricing Can Push Travelers to the Limit of Their Ability to Pay
Airlines, including Delta, are testing artificial intelligence in pricing. Get ready for what one startup calls the “exploitation phase.”

Newsom: He knows he’s going to lose in the midterms, and we have the opportunity to de facto end the Trump presidency in less than 18 months.
That’s what’s at stake. That’s why we’re putting a stake in the ground. We’re not drawing lines just to draw lines—we’re holding the line: on democracy.
