It’s deeply disturbing that FAA Administrator nominee Bryan Bedford refuses to commit to upholding the 1,500-hour pilot training standard. After the DCA crash and surge in near-misses, now is NOT the time to weaken flight training requirements for pilots. I’ll be voting no.

White House spin has entranced the MSM, characterizing the strike on Iran as a "head fake" as if this was a cunning sports play. Nope, It was a downright lie to the world. This isn't sports, folks. This is peoples lives on the line.

The US started moving assets into position a week ago. This wasn’t some impulsive decision based on vibes. Trump and his team planned and executed without consulting Congress, experts, etc— and a big part of their strategy was lying to the world the whole time they were doing it.

Firing 30 tomahawk missiles into Iran sure doesn't sound like a limited operation.

“The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else." Beautiful statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman.

Suspected assassin Vance Boelter is seen during his arrest in Sibley County following a two-day manhunt in Minnesota. Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher said eight teams crawled in ditches to corral Boelter before “he eventually surrendered peaceably," Fletcher said. Photo provided by Bob Fletcher.

Just gotta say the last decade raising kids have been…yeah. Especially the last year. People aged 14-18 need mentorship and pathways to their future. But the main thing they need is security. Not hope. Not direction. They need security. (And love!)

Everyone choosing sides be aware there are plenty of ways to sus out who blocks and who verifies unlike “X”. That’s the whole point. So “do your worst” doesn’t get them off platform. But it excludes them from the discourse. Nuclear options are as advertised! Think about it before your block.

No "thoughts and prayers" today from the MN GOP chair. Instead he attacked his political opponent (MN Atty Gen Keith Ellison) when interviewed by local FOX affiliate KMSP: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuMn...

BTW.. Watching the national news stuff: YES MINNESOTA! Surprised? This is a state that has been steamrolled by MAGA. But you wrote us off as blue. As as staunch DFLer I am sick by the GOP response. We knew we were targets. The MN GOP leader can't even say "thoughts and prayers" 1/2

@chrislhayes.bsky.social and @velshi.com your producers failed. You should have had been on the ground at NYC, LA, SFO, Columbus, Phoenix, Denver, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and of course Minneapolis/St. Paul. But they thought it would be "a big deal" in DC. It was lame. Like Trump.

Cute that @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social thinks Karen Bass (@mayor.lacity.gov) has tactical control of the LAPD. They are employing flash bangs and gas because they can. I am on the side of the protestors but you are spin cycle reporting here @msnbc.com

The fact that people turned out in huge numbers to protest in Minnesota even after a right-wing chud assassinated a Democratic member of the legislature is a good example of why we are going to win.
