@americanair.bsky.social: my friend's 90 y/o Mom had med emergency 24 hrs pre-flight and can't fly today. You refused to give a partial refund/give first class seats (orig purchased/had to get coach seats) when safe for her to fly despite being loyalty members for 50+ years?! NOT OKAY.

Huh. Maybe Alex Thompson or Jake Tapper could take a moment from their media blitz on how Joe Biden is old to report on the current president having no idea what is going on.

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Brandon Bradford (@BrandonLBradfor ). The tweet reads: "Deporting Americans without due process then saying they no longer get due process because they aren’t in America means no one has rights, FYI. Nightmare scenario."

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

I work at one of these firms and I am deeply, deeply disappointed to see this.

Trump is imposing a 10% tariff on the Heard and McDonald Islands.

The Heard and McDonald Islands are uninhabited.

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Trump and Musk should be asked every day how many Veterans they’ve fired.

Court will consider halting Trump's mass firings of federal employees A federal judge in San Francisco hears arguments in a case challenging the Trump administration's firings of thousands of probationary employees — those in their first year or so on the job.

Trump admin is pushing IRS to agree to an MOU that would give DOGE access to granular data on every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in the country.

Medication for HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria - which may be worth hundreds of millions of dollars - is just sitting in warehouses around the world, about to expire, because of his 90-day freeze on foreign aid. They aren't uncovering government waste. They're creating it.

Shameful and murderous

Gov JB Pritzker (R-IL) signs order prohibiting Jan 6 rioters from state employment in Illinois:

Questlove’s Insane SNL Music Montage Took a Year to Complete Worth it.

"Children, I want this to be an important lesson to you. If you do bad things, like break the law—even a lot—you are going to have to pay the consequences: nothing. Well, other than getting your job back. Because those are the rules in America, a land that cherishes justice."

I would love to see a bunch of musical artists and celebrities put on a nationally televised tribute concert for Pres. Jimmy Carter on inauguration day with all proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity.

Kay Granger, a still sitting Republican Congresswoman, has been missing votes in DC because she's been living in a nursing home for the past six months, and none of her colleagues said a damn thing.

But they were out there saying Biden was “mentally unfit.”

Are you f’ng kidding me?

Ok this one took me out

Crockett: For anyone who wants to clutch their pearls because he was going to pardon his son, I would say take a look in the mirror because we also know that when it comes to this cabinet, this cabinet has more people accused of sexual assault than any incoming cabinet

Jack Smith failed.

Merrill Garland didn’t even try.

Schumer is gonna go back to writing sternly worded letters.

Audra FREAKING McDonald, though.
Magnificent in "Gypsy" (the entire cast: WOW).
In these trying times, witnessing this kind of talent is what gets me through and will continue to get me through.

Okay but hear me out:

A nighttime bookstore in which the only lighting comes from lanterns, tea is served to all who enter, there is an emotional support owl in each section, and a buy one / get one free sale occurs during every full moon.

Excited to see "Gypsy" tomorrow night in NYC (AUDRA!!!!)
And TKTS will tell me whether I have time to catch a matinee of something on Sunday before I head back to DC.
