Remember, Duffy's plan to fix air travel is to shame you into dressing nicer.
That's it.
That's it.
Trump's DOT just forgave $11M in fines against Southwest Airlines for its 2022 holiday meltdown.
This follows the agency scrapping a Biden-era rule requiring airlines to compensate and rebook passengers for lengthy delays or cancellations.
Trump is making flying suck even more.

Duffy is obnoxious and doesn't seem very self aware
Doing pullups in my three-piece suit to improve the airport experience.
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."

Trump’s DOJ is building a voter purge machine—powered by your private data
The federal agency ordinarily would prevent attacks on voting rights. Now it’s carrying them out.

if they manage to rescind birthright citizenship, doesn't that mean nobody's a citizen? I know, they'll have some hand wavey thing to explain why it only applies to *certain* people, but what the hell even makes me a citizen, apart from having been born in Kansas?

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Yes, the Supreme Court has failed to protect us from Trump. But it’s worse than that: The Supreme Court is imposing its own fascism. It invented presidential immunity. It has gutted the Voting Rights Act, passed by a bipartisan Congress. It’s as bad as Trump, and moving in the same direction.

If you told me this was a “Confederate” Court by a 6-3 majority—equally *contemptuous* of American law, in favor of any jurisprudence that lets insurrectionists get everything they want, no matter how illegal—I would say that that is perfectly consistent with facts on the ground.
