Donald Trump just ended a rule that required airlines to compensate you for delayed or canceled flights.
Why?
Maybe because the airlines donated big bucks to Trump. Or maybe because the Secretary of Transportation used to be an airline lobbyist.
Either way, you lose.

Congress just gave $900 billion to the US military in case you were wondering if there were any repercussions for blowing up civilian ships on the high seas. Meanwhile, the FIFA peace participation trophy guy still manages to keep the Epstein list out of the headlines.

Donald Trump is trying to shut down the CFPB, an agency that has returned $21 billion to Americans who were cheated by big banks and giant corporations.

Toilets have often been used as a weapon to make it difficult for women to participate in science. This was Lise Meitner's experience in 1907. (From Wikipedia) #WomenInSTEM 🧪
![The arrangement was difficult for Meitner at first. Women were not yet admitted to universities in the German state of the Kingdom of Prussia, which included Berlin. Meitner was allowed to work in the wood shop, which had its own external entrance, but she could not enter the rest of the institute, including Hahn's laboratory space upstairs. If she wanted to go to the toilet, she had to use one at the restaurant down the street. The following year, women were admitted to Prussian universities, and Fischer lifted the restrictions, and had women's toilets installed in the building. Not all the chemists were happy about this.[27] The Institute of Physics was more accepting, and she became friends with the physicists there,](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:d33ov6qj5n2yhs27nyvpkpt2/bafkreid7qqgtnz4icdy5gotc6xac4z6cy734fpp6lcw2c7dxqewt6g4p2q@jpeg)

Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Trump is letting homeowners get tricked.
Debt collectors are buying up old home loans and demanding back interest, even when the debt was cancelled.
If you can’t pay, they take your house.
The CFPB was ready to crack down – but Trump is letting the scams continue.

Families paid even more last month for groceries, electricity, and rent.
Trump promised to lower costs on “day one.” Instead, his tariffs and failed economic agenda are raising prices.
He must reverse course — working families can’t afford 3 more years of broken promises.

Paper mills are fostering fraudulent articles at an industrial scale, but not sure I agree with the apocalyptic quote. Paper mills crank out fake work by fake scientists. Scientific literature is now like the internet where valuable information is intermixed with garbage. Readers must be discerning.
