Trump's DOT has officially scrapped a Biden-era rule requiring airlines to pay passengers cash compensation when flight disruptions are caused by airlines.

Flying already sucks — and Trump wants to make it suck even more. https://youtu.be/eTzaMXXelew?si=OghvJOMzUq2ZeJrc

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

@crampell.bsky.social You are generally a strong voice for democracy. I was genuinely surprised by your willingness to allow republican talking points on the Last Word tonight (Friday). Why?

@stephruhle.bsky.social Hey Stephanie. Why do you invite people who shill for republicans on your show when you’re not there? Friday night’s show could have been on Fox. Not your usual style. Ask them why they were so eager to “both sides” on everything. I’m curious.

“Look at what happened to our Country when a crooked moron became “President.” Even Trump speaks truth sometimes, albeit accidentally.

The traditional privileged media who have done everything in their power to normalize Trump and his followers are now among those who have learned that no matter how much you flatter and fawn over him he turns on you. Maybe now they’ll start doing their actual job and report what he says and does

Being a hater can be fun sometimes but it’s like eating junk food— in the end, it’s mostly empty calories. If you don’t take the time to practice finding joy, you’re going to lose it and everything will become less fun. It gets amplified by the company you keep. I say this from personal experience.

His Triumph? Trump sabotaged a Biden brokered cease fire deal just over a year ago - via a direct call to Netanyahu - because stopping the carnage would have helped the Harris campaign.

But hey, nice Neckgina.

Children around the world have died because Trump and Musk needlessly destroyed USAID. These are some of their stories.
