Look I need to be comfortable for my three hour delay because your party won’t pay the air traffic controllers
Duffy: "Trump talks about the golden age of transportation. But the golden age in transportation truly begins with you ... People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly ... so we want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season: Help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

I had a popular account with a valuable audience and my Twitter payout was $80 a month-ish, to the point where I disabled monetization instead of uploading my ID. Payouts are only material if you live in a developing country, so “guy in Nigeria posting right-wing Amerislop” has taken over the site.
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

Bye bye, “DOGE”.

This is right and both Nuzzi and Lizza are terrible people who are complicit in the RFK reign of pestilence, please do not try to redeem or excuse them
something i'll note is that if nuzzi ran catch-and-kill ops for rfk jr and lizza knew this prior to him being appointed as HHS, and instead of telling anyone, he decided to save it for his substack long after rfk jr had made communicable disease into federal policy, that's completely fucked

Developing a narrow sense of sympathy for Olivia Nuzzi in that she clearly has some deep-seated issues and gravitates to horrible exploitative old men, but obviously she needs to be far far away from political journalism which is like the mother lode of horrible exploitative old men

Kathy Hochul out of nowhere with a steel chair
The Hochul campaign is out with a statement regarding President Trump's disagreement with Rep. Elise Stefanik calling Zohran Mamdani a "jihadist." Comms Director Sarafina Chitika says Trump "nuked her opening argument" in Stefanik's bid for governor

The committee that settled on the phrase “underscoring his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy” should be dissolved and its members compelled to take a remedial course on the scientific method.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

Look, elected Dems like Schumer and Jeffries have gone into the Oval Office and given Trump actual material concessions and gotten rejected and beclowned. Mamdani’s just playing a different game. He didn’t have anything to negotiate. He just had to turn on the charm and it worked.
