I’m at the ATL airport and my @Delta flight has been continuously delayed because they can’t find another pilot. It’s midnight and they don’t know when or if they’ll find another pilot but won’t give out hotel vouchers until the flight is cancelled, which they can’t say when that’ll happen. This is a hot mess for Americans.
One of them just said, “pick another flight…pick another transportation secretary.” 🤷🏾♂️
Column: This White Devil Wears Prada
The so-called news media in this country is despicable and we do not hate these institutions and the people who co-opted and weaponized them enough.

This was in the so called OBBB - they back loaded all the awful stuff until after the midterms thinking they could hide it from the voters and perhaps, that they'd still be in power. All those tax cuts for rich people though? Yeah, those went into effect immediately 🙄
NEWS: The administration is giving states another 6 months before they must enforce Medicaid work requirements.
CMS told Medicaid directors today it's pushing the deadline from Jan. 1 to July 1. People can't be kicked off until then if states opt in.

PROJECTION — Mary Peltola is headed back to Congress, winning Alaska’s U.S. senate seat two years after losing Alaska’s at-large House. Her victory gives Democrats their ninth flip of the midterms, matching their most since 1958.

No, Democrats didn’t lose the Hegseth vote due to attendance
Even if every sitting House Dem had voted, there were enough Republicans in DC to quash impeachment. If all Ds voted, GOP would just have held the vote open for their in-town members to arrive open.substack.com/pub/wakeup…

They tried to dismantle Black political power and turn back the clock. History had other plans and instead, we witnessed its greatest expansion since Reconstruction!
6 Black Democratic US Senators (NJ, DE, GA, MD, IL, MS) and 5 Black Democratic Governors (MD, GA, NV, WI, VI)

Historian here earlier Black Senators from Mississippi were not elected but chosen by the state legislature pre Seventeenth Amendment. So a great achievement by @scott_colom the first elected by the people of Mississippi!
