I’m old enough to remember when American Airlines was a quality carrier. Their service and amenities were consistently good (relative to airlines in the US). This is what happens when basically unchecked mergers reduce the field to four or less national airlines. viewfromthewing.com/exclusive-am...

I don’t need a bazillion dollar strategist to tell me that Mamdani visiting and dancing with these senior ladies is a 100% vote getter. My mom, God rest her soul, and her senior women’s weekly gathering would have walked over glass to vote for him if he had done the same with them.

sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!

@txvoodoo.bsky.social I can’t reply to your conversation with CZEdwards but you might be interested in this. The NIH said that people with ADHD have a greater risk for dementia. Also this article (gift) says those who are medically treated have less risk than untreated patients. wapo.st/4hBJZwt

Adult ADHD may take a toll on the brain. Here’s what to know.

Adult ADHD is associated with a higher risk for dementia, but medications and lifestyle changes may lower risk.

Since Andrew no longer has his royal goodies and has relatively nothing to lose, now would be a good time to drop a dime (not in a book contract) on his (former) buddies. Especially any who lost nothing but instead gained unimaginable power and riches.

Honestly at some point you have to start doing psyops with these people:

Have Obama announce that he will seek a third term tomorrow. Then watch all the con law “scholars” and Fix News MELT DOWN trying to explain why he can’t but Trump can. (It’s like Newsom taking over his social media persona)

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 8d

Q: One theory on how you might try to serve a 3rd term is that you could run at the vice president

TRUMP: Yeah, I'd be allowed to do that. But I would rule that out because it's too cute.

* Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution…

David @dpleasant.bsky.social · 8d

The pesky Twelfth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States would like to have a word.

Excerpt of the 12th Amendment: … But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.

Making America Great Again is massive hunger, starvation, and generally no health care for seniors?

Donald Trump has stopped SNAP benefits (food stamps). This is on top of stopping Medicare payments to doctors. Bottom line: 1) 42+ million will go hungry or have no food at all. 2) 69 million may not be able to see a doctor. 90% of Medicare patients are 65+. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Yesterday the Trump administration said it would not use any of the approximately $6 billion the U.S.

Shula gave this game away with that absurd play. That said, Beamer needs to be in the hot seat for Shula’s long-standing incompetence. It was known at the time, Shula should not have been given the job in the first place.
