Yes, airlines are federally regulated, even though private. But I expect if Hawaii loses, then parties outside HI will point to that case while invoking the same rights.

History warned us about tyrants. Nobody warned us they’d be this dumb.

There’s more Botox in the Trump cabinet than in a dented can of beans.

Better yet (I suggested this earlier today), dress up as Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and Tom Homan. Looking forward to the optics of the uniformed thugs pointing weapons at the real troublemakers.

Trump absolutely is NOT a pig. Pigs are affectionate and intelligent animals and make wonderful companions. That has never been true--and never will be--of Trump. He can only aspire to be a pig. So please stop comparing these noble animals with one of the worst specimens of our species.

At this point, I'm surprised an attorney--or anyone else--is able to get the bodycam footage.

According the victim's attorney, body camera footage showed the officer saying, “Do something, bitch,” before leaping out of the car and shooting her multiple times. Another officer asked, “Hey, what happened?” The first pointed to his camera, “Hey, don’t speak. You’re good.”

I hope Justa Dick Vance* is the Republican nominee in 2028. He will get trounced.

If we agree that antifa is not an organization, then the word should not be captalized, which implies that it is.

RFK Jr fired 1000 people from the CDC late last night.

He wiped out entire teams that investigate disease outbreaks, infectious disease responses, data collection, and more.

Yes, this should aIarm you!!!!

What every anchor should do is re-run the clip o' lies, stopping after each lie to refute it with *facts.* THAT would be worth watching.

Every accusation is a confession. I expect we'll be learning a lot more dirt as Trump's continued cognitive deterioration leads to more public accusations/confessions. Should help up the indictment/conviction cycle for his future.

I send every one of these "letters" to my brother living in Japan. Right-wing populism is on the rise there, too.

She pays attention to which way the wind is blowing and always changes her position to have it at her back.
