@americanair.bsky.social WHY do you put people who paid for first, got bumped at your fault, on the “complimentary” upgrade list and then still have an open seat?! I book first for medical reasons and am sitting here at 20+ on the waitlist. Do better.

Since January, SpaceX has received over $560 million in government contracts—an amount projected to surpass $2 billion in taxpayer funding by year’s end, averaging roughly $6.1 million per day. Follow the money and see where it goes.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

“There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” ― Elie Wiesel
I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

🧵RFKJr said the measles outbreak that led to the death of a child is “not that unusual” (links below). That’s a lie. It IS unusual because we have the ability to have NO measles outbreaks. But with falling vaccine rates, we are seeing yearly outbreaks of increasing size (links below).

The Trump administration is using loopholes to maintain spending freezes despite court orders, with political appointees invoking legal authority to justify the pauses while distancing them from Trump’s directives.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) offered payouts to its entire workforce. The CIA has become the first intelligence agency to offer employees an opportunity to leave their positions in exchange for approximately eight months of pay and benefits.

Annoying elder millennial take. When we say “don’t let perfect, be the enemy of the good” when it comes to candidates, we aren’t saying it bc we are uninformed. We are saying it to make sure there are enough sane people who would stop this type of action.

So the world's richest man spends a fortune backing Trump and is given the go-ahead to...
-Run an "efficiency" agency despite having billions in govt contracts
-Replace civil servants with his own cronies
-Gain access to sensitive Treasury payment systems
See the problem?

I find it interesting that all the folks that cared about Hillary’s emails and thought it was such breach of trust, are suddenly silent on the fact that all EOs aren’t being published on a public website, by this Administration.

i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them
