Did you know that while the Trump Administration is cancelling 10% of commercial flights at 40 airports starting today, they are still letting all private jet flights (12% of all US air traffic) fly as normal?
Private planes make up nearly 12% of all flights.
And yet even with major air traffic control safety concerns, the DOT is planning to exclude them from its plan to order 10% cut in flights at 40 major U.S. airports.
People who can afford to charter flights will be fine. Everyone else is screwed.

I think everyone in Congress should come back to Washington to hash out a deal to end this shutdown & lower costs.
But the truth is: if Republican politicians want to re-open the govt without working with Democrats, they can.
They already get around the Senate filibuster whenever they want to.

Can’t recommend this entire thread enough.
For 26 but especially 2028 it's time for Democrats to make clear that the current Supreme Court will have to be reformed (expanded in number, reformed in structure) to allow popular govt to continue in the United States. Not so much a litmus test as precondition for any other promise to be credible.

The Democratic message must incorporate this proposition: democracy and ‘kitchen table issues’ are not competing priorities- authoritarianism makes you poor.

Question: why should Russia be in the G-7 if it is the world’s 11th biggest economy and smaller than non-members India and Brazil (and no doubt soon to be passed by others)? He knows what the G-7 is, right? Right?

I suspect that the next time there’s a Democratic president, Dems will demand they fully exercise their constitutional powers, not by doing anything illegal or defying court orders, but by using every ounce of their power, even if it breaks long-standing norms (prior to Trump).

I'm sorry, but isn't this just the Cultural Revolution 2.0? Why on earth would fired aid workers and NIH medical researchers go to work on assembly lines for worse salaries in jobs they don't know how to do? Why are they getting their economic policy from Mao?

Trump’s threats should not be dismissed, at this point, as crude bargaining tactics or buffoonish theatrics. We’ve been here before ... In the spring of 1941, as Hitler’s armies swept across Europe.
The Forgotten Dystopian Vision That Explains Trump’s Canada Obsession
The president’s outlandish fixation on annexing Canada and Greenland makes sense when you understand his worldview. It’s pretty similar to one articulated in 1941.
