Just did the math @americanair.bsky.social. Over 2,000 minutes of delays this trip alone.

I have flown AA a dozen times in the last year and not one flight left on time. I’m currently sitting on a plane with no pilot, 30 minutes after scheduled departure.

Is @americanair.bsky.social the worst run business in America? Cornering the market really allows you to not care about your customers at all. If we had a true free market AA would not exist.

Challenging politically-driven attacks on science and medical research - Protect Democracy Protect Democracy is challenging the Trump administration’s unlawful termination of $400 million in federal funding.

All credit to our clients who have stepped forward to challenge the unlawful grant terminations. Read more: protdem.org/3TlRfBl

🚨BREAKING: In a huge win for public health and democracy, a federal court ruled that the NIH’s ideological purge of life-saving research grants is unlawful.

Today, the rule of law prevailed — and science, once again, belongs to everyone.

During today’s hearing, Rep. DeLauro asked to insert our report on the history of impoundments into the record: “The historical record is clear... I ask unanimous consent to insert into the record the documentation that supports my claim about the myth of presidential impoundment power.”

Former senior military leaders: Judge Griffin threatens votes of America’s troops | Opinion Elected leaders should be making it easier for our deployed troops to vote, not suing to throw out the votes of service members. | Opinion

Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force retired top leaders call for Judge Griffin to “abandon his attempt to suppress the votes of our service members and tens of thousands of North Carolinians.” Read their OpEd: www.newsobserver.com/opinion/arti...

He reposted a claim that the legislation includes a "40% pay raise for Congress," calling it "unconscionable." The DOGE account also said on X that the legislation would raise pay for members of Congress to $243,000, up from $174,000. It is unclear where that number came from. The legislation includes language allowing a 3.8 percent pay bump to take effect, which would result in a pay raise for lawmakers of $6,600 - far short of what Musk claimed, according to a statement from Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine), who said he would oppose the bill because it allowed the pay raise. Congress has blocked its own cost-of-living allowance increases since 2009.

1.3 million active duty troops are going to miss at least two paychecks this holiday season because Elon Musk is too dumb to know the difference between 4% and 40%
