Teaser: Aug numbers & I'll add Sep once the data tables update:

Air Travel:
All Int'l: down 4.1% (1.693M to 1.623M)

Split:
US Only: down 25.4% (567K to 423K)
Others: UP 6.6% (1.126M to 1.200M)

So 144K less people went to the US & 74K more people went elsewhere. Domestic travel is booming as well.

I'll be making charts but check out this data.

International Air Travel - Returning Canadian residents
July 2024 vs 2025

All Int'l : down 5.3% (1.464M to 1.387M)

Split:
US Only: down 25.8% (517K to 384K)
Others: up 5.9% (947K to 1,003K)

Canadian's are still travelling, just not to the US.

The US Senate used the nuclear option to bypass the filibuster to appoint over 100 loyalists into office. That includes good ol "Sheriff" Herschel Walker being appointed as Ambassador to the Bahamas.

They can but won't do the same thing to keep the Government open because they want the shutdown.

That greasy weasel asshole Nutlick continues to piss off Canada with his comments. The latest is “America first, Canada second.” when it comes to the auto sector & manufacturing of vehicles.

He can take that shiny dome of his & shove it up his own ass.

That unqualified for anything reality TV moron put in charge doesn’t know his history or how short they are on ATCs to be tossing out intimidation like this.

Watch how quickly large corporations & airlines shove an aircraft up his ass if ATC & TSA decide to say F U.

US could dismiss air traffic controllers who fail to work during shutdown, transportation secretary says

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned on Thursday that the government could dismiss air traffic controllers who repeatedly fail to show up for work during the government shutdown, saying a spike in absences is causing significant air disruptions.

Looks like that behind every weird decision is a very weird rich donor who wanted something that led to that weird decision:

One of Trump's biggest financial supporters, Timothy Mellon, is obsessed with Earhart .... hence this.

I knew the 2nd term of Bronzolini was going to be an epic shitshow… but it’s way worse than I could have ever imagined.

Every day is a new & more ridiculous adventure in corruption, sycophancy & stupidity.

I’m really tired of unprecedented times.

They brought in their top experts on “Antifa” so you should have nothing to fear about them doing something astonishingly stupid:

This does provide some insight into how the Truth Social sausage gets made.

The note in front of Trump says: "We need you to approve a Truth Social post soon so you can announce deal first."

The more they record their encounters the more evidence that can be used against them later.

I hope some lawsuits dig out the raw footage & bodycams from that event & expose all the laws they probably broke in the process.

The unelected Bald Daywalker White House Deputy Chief of Staff controls ICE/DHS, DoJ and DoD.

He is Grima to Bronzolini who is demented & checked out. Cosplay Kristi, Blondi, Krash & Kegsbreath are just the figurehead media "talent" in HIS reality TV shitshow.

He's the evil shadow "President".

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

This has to stop.

The “President’s” mental competency should be laser focused 24/7 coverage because the demented old narcissistic fart has totally lost his marbles:

Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social · 1d

Donald Trump is calling for the jailing of his political opponents in Chicago. His DOJ lackeys have already indicted a NJ Congresswoman for conducting ICE facility oversight and James Comey. John Bolton's house was raided.

We must treat these latest threats seriously and all stand up against them.

You could tell when she was flipping through her binder & notes & then attacking specific senators with stupid non-answer filibusters that she was reading from a prepared script. This is just proof of that.

She had no intention on cooperating.

Denise Wheeler @denisedwheeler.bsky.social · 1d

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

As alarmed as people may be, they aren't alarmed enough. Trump just escalated this crisis from a fight between the federal government and a state, to a situation where one state is deploying armed forces to impose its will on another state. www.thebulwark.com/p/emergency-...

We aren’t at the worst-case scenario yet. But if you squint, you can see it looming out there, just over the horizon.

Behold! Cosplay Kristi is rallying the Moron Militia at the epic battle of the driveway to that one building owned by ICE.

They are calling for military backup to help protect the dainty ICEholes from that unrelenting onslaught of protesting boomers, a chicken suit guy & the inflatable frog.
