Prices are soaring, your 401k is in the tank, Social Security phone lines are hours long. Instead of addressing any of that – this administration is picking a fight with Denmark.

The secretary of transportation went on Fox & Friends this morning and trashed air travel, portraying the current air traffic control system as a disaster, and then claimed taking public transit is "dangerous." I miss the DEI days when it was safe to travel.

The Constitution is built on checks and balances, and it’s unacceptable for the president to defy court orders simply because he doesn’t like them.

“People are scared to go out because they go out with their kids, and they don’t want to go to a place where (people are) going to show up with guns to check whether they’re a U.S. citizen or not. That was very upsetting for a lot of people.”

On a scale from 1 to “The fury of the burning fire of a thousand suns,” how mad do you think Judge Boasberg will be at Trump and Rubio laughing about defying his court order?

I’m so tired of hearing Rubio & other rightwingers now claiming that if you’re on a green card you’re a ‘guest’ in this country. BS. You’re a lawful permanent resident. The clue is in the name. If someone is a permanent resident in your home, are they the same as the guests who come and go? Come on.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

The past ten years has just been the same clutch of morons and apologists insisting that Trump would never cross that line and then shuffling along with him to insist that he would never cross that next one.

$1,131,794,901 That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns. Well, the planet is burning. Don't let them look away.

More good news from this administration! Thanks to the FAA Reauthorization Law and Secretary Buttigieg's push for stronger protections for passengers, any flight voucher given to passengers for significantly delayed or canceled flights must now be redeemable for at least 5 years before it expires.

The fact that no news channel is discussing the kidnapping of the venezuela oppositions son, but Trump and Greenland is all over, just means it will be four years of the same BS trap

Interestingly, I have lost 60,000 followers on Twitter since Election Day - presumably, mostly, from people deactivating their accounts and heading over here - but over here on Bluesky I have picked up 400,000 new followers since Election Day.

"Seven Nation Army" was the song that took Alternative radio out of the five year period where it sounded just like the hard rock radio station across the street. A more than worthy #1 on #XPNCountdown because of its impact.

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

A sense of defenselessness, of being unheard and unhelped, has become the common American culture, the thing that unites people on left and right. And we need to understand that deeply if we’re going to stop political violence from spreading further. youtu.be/_VaabzCALlQ?...
