This idiot hasn't been in a proper passenger plane in his life, he wants people to dress nice at the airport but ALSO wants me stuck next to some dude sweaty off a thirty minute treadmill run on an 8 hour flight to Rio
Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."

Almost 100% of Trump's 2019 farmer bailout went to white men.

Since I traced migration & citizenship from the colonial period through 1888, yeah, pretty clear the 14th Amendment is intended to repudiate Dred Scott.

bad actors like wurman are why i think it is important to place the birthright clause in the full context of section 1 and section 1 in the context of both dred scott and the two decades of antislavery and abolitionist agitation and political thinking that proceeded it

The path to more European strategic autonomy runs through more European integration. The US government attacks the EU and supports extreme right-wing parties to prevent said autonomy. It's really an adversarial posture.

![Notably, in assessing “irreparable harm” that Texas would face, the court also stated, “The District Court improperly inserted itself into an active primary campaign, causing much confusion and upsetting the delicate federal-state balance in elections.”
This is, however, a function of the timing of the Texas legislature’s action — not the challengers or three-judge district court — and it’s astounding to see an unsigned Supreme Court order accusing a lower court of such a “improper[]” act in this fashion.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreih537dkeovund3vctl7axemlzo7tit2xtvqt232zxumrfxzzuvu4y@jpeg)

Note: The alleged drug smugglers posed no threat to the US even before their boat was attack. Subsequent attacks were illegal and unjustified because ALL attacks on the boat were illegal and unjustified.

I think there should have been a negotiated peace as opposed to Bidens policy of opposing putin to the last Ukrainian. I dont think that policy has much to do with supporting the people of Ukraine.
