They let us go through security screening starting two hours before flight time but now they’ve got us waiting for customs…less than an hour til boarding

Never been to an airport that wasn’t 24 hours before. Got here early and they won’t let you through security or to do luggage yet

People don’t like hospitals gone. People don’t like bus not come. People don’t like job gone. People don’t like house foreclosed. People don’t like stocks crash. People don’t like bridge fall down

Certainly they aren’t improving anyone’s quality of life. Probably not even the richest people who are going to be seeing major economic losses soon

Probably true insofar as violence goes but this administration can’t even couple their atrocities with social programs that maintain status quo they’re actively making everyone’s life worse, more expensive, and inconvenient

So Truth Social is getting hacked as we speak right now, right? It can’t have good security protocols

Brad Heath @bradheath.bsky.social · 19h

WSJ: President Trump believed his Truth Social post demanding prosecutions of James Comey and other political foes was a private message to his attorney general, and "and was surprised to learn it was public."
