Hey, Mr. Secretary: You don't know what you're talking about. See if you can find people who have ever actually flown an airplane and agree with this bigoted BS. (Signed: single-engine plane owner for 24 years, active IFR rating 28 years, 2200+ incident-free solo landings.)

Trump just ordered 2 dams opened up in California in an unprecedented move that risks depleting the reservoirs ahead of the dry summer months. And the kicker? The water from the dams doesn't even flow to Los Angeles.

There is no universe where any rational person can look at the conscious, practiced mendacity of the entire GOP conference validating RFK Jr as HHS Secretary and remotely think they prioritize or even think of the interests of any American. Don't ever normalize this. It is an attack on us all.

It’s all awful and dangerous. But @mcuban.bsky.social is 110% correct. Watch what he does, not what he says

BREAKING: Jimmy Carter has died at 100. The 39th president of the United States, who served from 1977 to 1981, was perhaps more famous for the life he led after leaving office — as an advocate for peace and human rights. Read about his lasting legacy.

Let's just get the myths out of the way. 1. Lost luggage is rare. (Less than 1 percent.) 2. Carousel waits are shorter than the scrum to get off the plane. 3. Even when airlines don't charge (like Southwest) people are asshats about carry-ons American travelers are spoiled children.

What a great story. Wow. 🥹

Imagine paying into social security your whole working life and getting shafted because a bunch of billionaires want more billions. . .
