“If you’re flying out of the Houston airport, allow 6 hours to go through security. I am not kidding.”

Texas airports are starting to feel the pressure of the federal government shutdown, which is nearing the five-week mark.
‘Hell on Earth’: Texas Airports Are Slammed With Hours-Long TSA Lines and 1,000 Flight Delays
Airports in Houston, Dallas, and Austin are struggling as air traffic controllers and TSA agents are not being paid during the shutdown.

Significance of California's Prop 50 goes beyond Dems picking up 5 seats to offset Texas gerrymander. Supporters hope its approval by voters leads other Dem states to get off sidelines & urgently redraw maps to fight Trump's unprecedented plan to rig midterms www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
California fights Trump's attempt to steal the midterms

One of the most heartbreaking things I learned about while writing my book was the stories of families starved in Mississippi during the Greenwood Food Blockade in white supremacists denied food to Black families. It’s terrifying to thing of this level of starvation on a national scale

Governor Moore’s proposal for a redraw process in Maryland is a responsible and responsive action to Trump’s demand for extreme and democracy threatening mid-decade gerrymanders in Texas and beyond.

Our democracy is under attack— we have no choice but to defend it.
govwesmoore.bsky.social Governor Wes Moore @govwesmoore.bsky.social · 8h
Today, I’m announcing the Governor’s Redistricting Advisory Commission.

I’ve been clear from Day One: If other states are determining whether or not they have fair maps, so will Maryland.

Screenshot of a tweet by former NYC mayor Bill de Blasio. It's a photo of de Blasio wearing a bright-blue "Hot Girls for Zohran" T-shirt and smiling while looking into the sun next to a brick wall with a "vote here" sign taped to it. The main text of the tweet reads: One of the happiest votes I ever cast! What a beautiful day for NYC! sun emoji. at zohran k mamdani at hot girls four zohran.

Trump's recent Truth Social post reveals his central stance in the fight over SNAP:

Amid horrendously long lines at food banks around the country, the president is willing to let Americans go hungry.
Trump sure seems eager to starve the poor
The president can't quite suppress his sinister goal of withholding benefits from hungry Americans, even as the White House insists otherwise.

I have calculated a set of county-level benchmarks for following the statewide elections in VA, NJ, GA and PA tonight. This is smarter than just watching votes roll in because it helps account for unreported areas. Will update the spreadsheet as votes come in. Link: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Under Trump, protesting or running a diversity program could make your employer ineligible for loan forgiveness. Under Democrats, public servants actually get their benefits without wondering if they’ll be punished for basic decency.
