Headline from CNN that reads Trump administration drops plan to require passenger compensation for delayed flights

Of course they did.

A cartoon shows the Grim Reaper happily playing a claw machine. Inside the machine is a crowd of tiny people, and the claw has grabbed one labeled “MAGA.” The Grim Reaper is grinning and saying “Fuqqin finally!”

Inject the #MAGA collapse into my veins

#MTG & #Trump public tweet war

Nick Fuentes declaring “MAGA is dead.”

Joe Rogan calling the WH ballroom “real excessive.”

Tucker Carlson pushing FBI coverups.

Someone found his Memaw's Bedazzler.

3 elderly women in Stillwater are frantically looking for cost effective supplemental health care before January. They are 3 different economic circumstances. But all in a panic. 😐

It's really funny to have known Josh from Byzantine Studies Conferences and now... this.

WELKER: Should the 300,000 Oklahomas who rely on ACA subsidies be prepared for their costs to skyrocket?

LANKFORD: We're trying to find a way to be able to help

(That's a yes!)

They are paying ICE, the military and for his stupid ballroom

They won’t fund SNAP or air traffic controllers

These are choices

Budgets are moral documents

Hey!

We all are sisters…pulling together with one spirit.
50 years ago today the first episode of the series Wonder Woman aired.

We could open the govt if Leslie Stahl had been given a genuine Health Care plan back in 2020 like he promised. 😶

If we don't test for COVID, then there's no COVID! If there's no flights, then there's no late flights! Brilliant!

A tweet from Sara McGee for Texas House (@SaraMcGeeTX) says: “My ovaries just shriveled up and yeeted themselves into the sun.” Below it, Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) had posted: “Dr Oz: ‘We’ve dropped the infertility drugs to make lots of Trump babies I’m hoping by the midterms.’” The accompanying photo shows Dr. Oz speaking at a podium with others behind him, and subtitles reading: “European company. We’ve dropped in fertility drugs to make lots of…”

“Why are so many young women Democrats?”

After those results, the Democratic response to GOP pressure to cave on the shutdown should simply be

Mamdani:
“So hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.”

PRO TIP: This is not a winning message.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

Nero would be proud.

I am on a trip with a constituit of Adelita Grijalva. She said 800,000
Arizona-Americans have no representation in the House. Sigh.

Government SHIT down.

Hannah's mom, Betty, a 63-year-old recent retiree who is a caretaker for her daughter and a longtime Trump supporter, said she is losing confidence in the president she once supported amid the shutdown fight. "I think deep down he wants to help the country with things like food insecurity," she said. "But now he is busy out of the country and demolishing the White House. I know that is being paid for with private funds, but those could be used to help people." "It all seems very selfish," she added. Betty Szretter said she now regrets voting for Trump in 2024 and would prefer a Democrat in the White House to "protect benefits he [Trump] wants to cut."

Longtime Trump supporter: “I think deep down he wants to help the country with things like food insecurity.”

(Trump enacted the largest cuts to SNAP in history a few months ago)

Now says she regrets voting for Trump and wishes a Democrat were president to “protect benefits [Trump] wants to cut.”

One Halloween I dressed up as the GOP's Healthcare plan.

I never made it out of the House.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Dear fish,
