No kings.
Controversial, I know, but killing people on the other side with fighter jets breaks a cease-fire. It does not "test" it.

A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.

Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

No. I think Mamdani knows how to manipulate him. The adjudicated rapist went from attacking him to singing his praises.

Can’t imagine the ego needed to blame people for getting cancer, Parkinson’s, type 1 diabetes, MS, etc., and thinking that you can avoid this fate just because you’re you.

So how is Maduro going to bribe Trump? Access to oil seems probable.

I had a dead first-generation HomePod. I'd never seen anyone who'd want to open one up, so I figured it was destined for (hopefully) recycling. Then I found Minn-Tech. They said they could repair my HomePod for $69 (nice), shipping included.

The DOT also reportedly plans to rescind requirements that airlines disclose junk fees. It's also planning to redefine what flight cancellations would require refunds for passengers.

Both Delta and United gave $1 million to the Trump inauguration fund.

Everything is for sale.
BREAKING: The Trump administration is officially withdrawing a Biden-era plan to require airlines to pay passengers cash compensation when flight disruptions are caused by the airlines.

EVEN IF THEY WERE GETTING BENEFITS, simply stop those payments and tighten up your audits. There is no efficiency in cutting FOOD ASSISTANCE from millions of eligible people.

(In a civil society there would NOT be millions of people who need SNAP)

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.

I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

shutdown deal per AXIOS:

republicans get: government reopens and party avoids political consequences for refusing to make health care affordable

Yeah I don’t envy anyone trying to make the case that voting matters when Dems couldn’t manage to find a week’s worth of backbone after voters just gave one of the clearest repudiations of the GOP I’ve seen in ages.
