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.

Work requirements hurt poor people AND are a waste of money. Arkansas spent $26 million on administrative costs for work requirements — and saw no increase in employment. Georgia’s program cost $40 million in one year — 80% of that went to administrative and consulting costs.

Every “it’s the overreach of the left that has led to the right’s embrace of fascism” op-ed is another retread of “the decadence of Weimar Germany (ie, the public presence of queer people) is why we got the Nazis,” which is and always has been victim blaming bullshit

Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” is Project 2025 in legislative form. Here’s how it quietly turns a far-right wishlist into federal law: - Sec. 10008 - Expands work requirements for SNAP - Project 2025: Pushes “moral reform” to make low-income people work more for food assistance.

Our access to COVID vaccines is under attack. It’s more important than ever to make our voices heard by making public comment to the FDA by May 23 at 11:59 PM EST. Use our template available on our substack at peoplescdc.substack.com/p/vaccine-ac...

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

I wonder how many lies it will take before the press stops giving official statements by Trump and his cronies the presumption of truth. Days of stories spreading their lies around before the real story emerges. This happens over and over and over again:

Similarly, any reporting on the political charges against Rep. LaMonica McIver needs to include the fact that Donald Trump has repeatedly called for charges and investigations against people he deems political enemies. There is zero reason to treat this in good faith.

And when they've broken everything and made people's lives worse in dozens of different ways, the GOP response is going to be complaining that the government is broken and we need to try New Things instead. No, it was working. They broke it. Don't let them weasel out of responsibility.

B of A: “.. the timing of the downgrade isn’t a coincidence. Moody’s appears to be sending a message that it thinks these policy changes will, on net, put the US on an even worse fiscal trajectory. That is, tariff revenues won’t fully offset the cost of the proposed tax bill. We agree.”
