Hey, @americanair.bsky.social ,

The flight is 2 hours39 minutes late. Plane just disembarked.

Estimated “new” departure time is 9:55 (20 mins) So you can stay within the 3 hours or refund deadline.

Kinda dodgy to rush the turnover.

Kinda dodgy to be this late without bad weather.

Yuck it up all you want about the National Guard assassin being an asylum seeker, but this Knee Jerk administration will use it as an excuse to shut down the whole asylum process.

“All asylum seekers are vicious killers of patriotic guardsmen, I saw one do it once.”

Watch.
CNN on the D.C. shooter: He came here from Afghanistan in 2021. He applied for asylum in December 2024, went through another vetting process, and was approved for asylum in April of this year under the Trump administration.

The correct answer to MAGA outrage over the Dem video is this: Are you effing kidding me? Of course it's reasonable to warn that Trump might be giving illegal orders.

The evidence is strong that he actually is giving illegal orders! I went through that evidence here:

Is Trump Giving Illegal Orders? Dems Just Blew That Question Wide Open
From the boat bombings to deportations to prosecutions, the evidence mounts. And the speaker of the House could get to the bottom of it if he wanted to. Yeah, right.

I just wonder if Winston Smith, himself, wrote the historical correction.
This is nuts.

Yesterday in the Comey hearing, prosecutors *repeatedly* confirmed that the full grand jury never saw or voted on the two-count indictment.

Now they’re claiming the grand jury *did* vote on it.

Bill Clinton knows if he's "that" Bubba. He can resolve it one way or another.

If he's still looking for his true legacy, DJT's humiliation factor is it.

"I knew he'd go thru with it because he never had any self respect."

When DJ denies, it leaves open the question of "OK, then who IS Bubba?"

Here’s something that’s really important for everyone to understand.

If we design our cities just for cars, they fail everyone, including drivers.

If we design our cities with many great CHOICES in how to get around, they work better for everyone, including drivers.

Spread the word.

In an unforgettable Veterans Day moment, former President Barack Obama surprised dozens of Korean and Vietnam War veterans as their Honor Flight landed in Washington, D.C. The veterans, fresh off their flight from Madison, Wisconsin, were greeted by President Obama himself.

@warren.senate.gov & @markey.senate.gov are you listening? Let air traffic grind to a halt. Hold fast for healthcare. Make the GOP face their devils.

Do not let them off the hook!
Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Opening the government with no concessions from GOP merely to alleviate airline cancellations - when Congress has been dragging its feet for years on chronic FAA staffing issues - is a lame ass choice.

Also, doing it while the House refuses to work is appalling.

Where is the Red Cross in all of this? Why aren’t they visiting these sites? Doesn’t this fall under the Articles of the Geneva Convention?
There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command.

If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics.

It’s trials w real punishments.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

“His hints about seeking a third term aren’t crazy. Americans not believing him, however, is.” @carronjphillips.bsky.social latest on Trump’s 2028 ambitions.
It feels like America isn’t taking the idea of a third Trump term seriously — that’s terrifying.
Mistakenly assuming that an inevitable “return to norm” is on the horizon is a big reason why we’re here.

You may not agree, but I think it’s time for Dems from coast to coast to run on Medicare for all.

We do NOT need health insurance companies at all.

Period.

They serve no valuable societal purpose other than to add cost to healthcare and drive people crazy.

There should be a cap on what is deductible. $5MM, $10MM, $50MM. Beyond that, the company cannot deduct it & it comes straight out of the shareholders’ hides.

Dems need to introduce bills in both houses to end the income tax in favor of relying exclusively on tariffs.

Let’s see all the GOP reps from taker states vote against it.
If the GOP doesn’t want tax dollars going to food, healthcare, housing, ed, SS, veterans’ care, housing, research, science, art, infrastructure, transit, childcare, the environment, public broadcasting, diplomacy, regulatory agencies, or job training… WTF are we paying them for?

No notes.
I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here.

And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.
