Hear me out— Democracy worked much better when DCA still had Gate 35X. Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle had to descend into that crowded pit, shoulder to shoulder with constituents, waiting for a bus across the tarmac. No status. No shortcuts. Just pure humanity. If you know, you know.

Ummm… for starters, someone might want to let him know May 8 wasn’t the end of WWII. That was Victory in Europe Day — the war continued for months in the Pacific. Just a small detail before we commit to renaming history.

In just 100 days, this administration has upended the lives of thousands of federal workers—many of them Veterans—through mass, unjust terminations.
This isn't just about jobs. It's about the rule of law, our civil service and the critical services they provide, and the core values of our nation.

Everyone’s watching the stock market — up, down, up, down again. But this? This is the number that should really have our attention 🚨📉 — a sharp drop in goods 📦 coming into the U.S.
That means fewer products on shelves and higher prices. The impact might not hit all at once, but it’s coming.

Scientists have brought back the dire wolf —13,000 years after extinction. Jurassic Park now feels plausible.
Meanwhile, we’re in an era where our civilization teeters —economically, politically, environmentally.
🤔 When dinosaurs rule the Earth again, will they study us the way we studied them?

BREAKING NEWS: Despite the Emperor Penguin showing up in a full tux, the Heard and McDonald Islands tariff negotiations went south fast. President Trump told the penguin, “You don’t have the cards right now. You’re flightless. You’ve allowed yourself to be in a very bad evolutionary position.”

NOAA captured this satellite footage of the bomb cyclone off the Pacific Northwest. Amazing how much this resembles a hurricane🌀. This happens when a cold air mass collides with a warm air mass, such as air over warm ocean💦 waters. 🧪
