A surge in callouts among air traffic controllers "is straining staffing levels" at multiple airports across the US — including in the NYC area where 80% of controllers are absent.

The FAA said half of the 30 busiest facilities were experiencing staffing shortages, "leading to widespread impacts."

The lying is, to a certain extent, to be expected. It's the sanctimoniousness that really irritates.

Mike Johnson talks about the Republican "healthcare plan" like it's highly classified information: "We're not gonna be on a conference call explaining all our plans and strategies for healthcare reform, because they're leaked in real time."

Always the plan, but the late Sen. McCain stopped it.

I’m sure we’ll see it “in two weeks.” (Narrator: The GOP’s “plan” for healthcare has always been to drop all public subsidies - including eventually, Medicare. They made that clear when the late Sen McCain gave their plan the thumb’s down.)

listen we may have lost our family business, made our kids miserable, had to live in a barn with goats and lost $50,000 to a local Russian slumlord, but at least we dont have to see gay people in public

Another family, the Hares, also moved from Abilene, Texas, to Russia to shield their three sons from what they say are harmful elements of American culture.

“It was the promise of a country that would not promote the LGBT agenda. We liked the fact that LGBT is basically outlawed here in official ways,” Leo Hare, 62, told NBC News via a video call from the family’s new home in Ivanovo, Russia.

Russia has strict laws against the “promotion of nontraditional sexual relationships,” which have in practice banned public displays of LGBTQ identity, including wearing or posting the rainbow flag on social media.

They say their initial plan to rent an apartment in Moscow fell through just as they boarded the plane from Texas, and the family spent a bitterly cold winter caring for chickens, horses and rabbits on a farm 70 miles south of Moscow in exchange for free board. At one point, they even had to bring the goats and their newborns inside their cabin to keep the animals from dying.
Leo Hare thought their troubles were over when their landlord's son offered a generous interest rate for investing their $50,000 nest egg in what he described as a car import business. But they only saw one payment before he stopped sending them money and refused to return their money, Leo Hare said.
The couple went to the police and the local court to file complaints about their lost money and with their concerns that they had been swindled, but say they have received no help from law enforcement officials. NBC News contacted Domodedovo police for comment but did not receive a reply.

Q: Americans have been watching videos of ICE tackling a young mother, tear gas being used in a Chicago residential neighborhood, and the smashing of car windows. Have some of these raids gone too far?"

Trump: "No. I think they haven't gone far enough”

For relaxation, Joe Biden enjoyed an ice cream cone now and then.
He also liked to go to the beach and read.

The republicans lost their minds each time he did.

Trump, Hegseth, and senior military commanders murdered 3 more people last night and the homicides near 100 people, and they expect you to take their word for it that they were transporting drugs and accept it. They murder whoever they want whenever they want.

These two morons have us gearing up for war in Nigeria and Venezuela after previous strikes on Yemen and Iran and intervention in Gaza, we are beginning nuclear testing for the first time in 33 years, and all this comes after threatening Greenland, Panama and Canada.

💯! 🇺🇸 and the world are beholden to his and his enablers psychopathy. Think about that! At what point does an intervention come? History is appalled at the collective apathy of this unraveling nightmare. It is up to 🇺🇸’s military leadership and citizens now. Midterms… far too late.
