Trump's DOT has officially scrapped a Biden-era rule requiring airlines to pay passengers cash compensation when flight disruptions are caused by airlines.

Lindsay Graham is so close to understanding what's wrong with our healthcare system.
This move by Democrats today (which I called for 2 weeks ago) really exposed the Republican position. It smoked them out in the open. They refuse to extend the ACA subsidies which will cause insurance premiums to go up for 22 million people. It’s not about anything else.

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet.

If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts.
We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File.

Had lunch today with a family friend recently diagnosed with glioblastoma; he talked about two things 1) how urgent the desire to connect with loved ones has become and 2) how much he wants Trump to get fucked.
"Tanner, a chemist at the Univ. of Mississippi working to develop a novel approach for treating glioblastoma, was notified in April that the grant was terminated.
“I would like to cure brain cancer,” Dr. Tanner said. “I think that's not particularly controversial.”
