Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.
😲 Guys, Avelo painted their ICE jets all white! The tail number matches. How pathetic is that? 👀

During President Trump’s tour through the Middle East, the White House released daily lists of the dozens of deals it said he had secured during his visits.

However, at least half a dozen of the contracts were announced before Trump even took office in January, according to a Post review.
Trump is taking credit for Middle East deals that predate his presidency
Trump has been escalating pressure on leaders in the Middle East to up their investment in the United States.

Absence of wire service reporters from today's Air Force One flight overseas"breaks with decades of precedent and limits access to critical information about the president's actions abroad." - National Press Club President Mike Balsamo https://www.press.org/newsroom/press-club-statement-air-force-on
Press Club Statement on Air Force One Flying Without Wire Services
WASHINGTON, May 12 – National Press Club President Mike Balsamo issued the following statement today after President Trump’s first overseas trip without wire service reporters aboard Air Force One.  “Wire service reporters are central to a free and independent press—providing fast, fact-based reporting that millions of people around the world rely on every day. Their absence from Air Force One today breaks with decades of precedent and limits access to critical information about the president’s actions abroad. Democracy depends on transparency. The National Press Club joins the White House Correspondents’ Association in urging a swift return to full access for wire reporters.” About the National Press Club Founded in 1908, the National Press Club is the world’s leading professional organization for journalists. The Club has 2,500 members representing nearly every major journalism organization. The Club and its Center for Press Freedom are leading voices for press freedom matters in the U.S. and worldwide.

As a #Canadian I am of the view that @margaretatwood.bsky.social is a national treasure and is to be protected at all costs (at 15 years old, The Circle Game, The Handmaid's Tale, and The Edible Woman changed my life).

Clearly I am correct in my view:

Remember that several people asked Pam Bondi during confirmation SPECIFICALLY what she would do on matters pertaining to Qatar (which she did not disclose) or GEO (pertinent to the Baraka arrest). She said she'd consult top career lawyer at DOJ abt recusal.

Then she fired that lawyer.
