4 largest US airlines endorse Republican-backed ‘clean’ bill to end government shutdown United, Delta, American and Southwest airlines each called on Congress to approve a Republican-backed “clean” funding bill to reopen the government.

lol thanks United, Delta, American, and Southwest airlines for showing Americans you’re complicit in a Nazi regime.

Oh, and these statements came “on the same day as a White House meeting between leaders in the aviation industry and Vice President JD Vance and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.”

Measles outbreak investigation in Utah blocked by patient who refuses to talk The person refused to even tell health officials their address.

The right-wing war against public health means that now a person has refused to cooperate with a case investigation that exists for the sole purpose of minimizing the risk to others.

Really selfish behavior from a suspected measles case in Utah.

U.S. House Minority Leader Jeffries accelerates Illinois redistricting push Rep. Nikki Budzinski said she was “supportive” of a new map, reasoning that Democrats had to “fight fire with fire.”

Hey Illinois and Maryland, it’s extra important for your local leaders to hear from you right now.

Trump’s redistricting coup will only work if blue states sit back and do nothing. Tell your elected officials to level the playing field and unrig the midterm maps: indivisible.org/resource/red...

It's true. Poverty is a choice.

A choice made by billionaires to take all the money working people create while holding down wages, refuse to contribute to the country that made them, empower politicians to steal the resources we generate for our common good.

Today, South Korea presented Donald Trump with a golden crown. Did they not hear about the millions of Americans who marched against him in the #NoKings rallies? Maybe they are deviously trolling him. It is in Donald's favorite color.

'Scared of crossing' Trump: Anger follows new report on America's privileged Even as they acknowledged that only the public opposition of people in power would rein in President Donald Trump’s attacks on democracy and the rule of law, a number of political, military, business, and academic elites made clear Friday that they “are scared of crossing” the president. In a column published on Friday in the Financial Times, Edmundv Luce revealed that he has been talking with “dozens of figures, including lawmakers, private sector executives, retired senior military figures and intelligence chiefs, current and former Trump officials, Washington lawyers, and foreign government officials,” and he found that the vast majority asked to remain anonymous for fear of attacks from the president and his administration. “Such is the fear of jail, bankruptcy, or professional reprisal, that most of these people insisted on anonymity,” Luce explained. “This was in spite of the fact that many of the same people also wanted to emphasize that Trump would only be restrained by powerful voices opposing him publicly.” Trump’s revenge campaign against his foes has taken many forms, Luce found. The most high-profile examples have been instances in which the president has personally pushed for officials at the US Department of Justice to criminally indict many longtime adversaries, including New York Attorney General Letitia James, former FBI Director James Comey, and John Bolton, Trump’s own former national security adviser. Luce also learned that the administration has been waging pressure campaigns on private employers to blacklist former Biden administration officials and other opponents from being offered jobs. “Every employer says something along the lines of ‘We’d love to hire you but it’s not worth the risk,’” one former Biden White House staffer told Luce. “All they offer me is apologies.” Former Biden national security adviser Jake Sullivan, who is now a professor at Harvard University, told Luce that he spends much of his time “trying to help former colleagues find jobs” because so few employers are willing to chance angering the president. Military officials who spoke with Luce expressed fears that the US armed forces will not resist Trump, as they did in his first term, were he to give them illegal orders. One retired four-star general said he worried that Dan Caine, the current chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, would not refuse to carry out requests to have the military interfere with elections, as many officials did in 2020 when Trump tried to get the US Army to seize voting machines in swing states that he had lost to former President Joe Biden. “Caine has the thinnest background to run the military at its most difficult stress test in modern history,” the general said. Many Trump critics who read Luce’s reporting found it appalling that so many wealthy and powerful Americans were afraid to publicly criticize the president. “When all this is over, we need to have a pretty serious conversation about the utter moral failure of the elite of this country,” remarked Leah Greenberg, co-founder and co-executive director of Indivisible, on Bluesky. Brendan Nyhan, a political scientist at Dartmouth, said that Luce’s reporting shows “how much opposition we never see or hear because people fear reprisal” from the president. Bradley Moss, a national security attorney who was one of Luce’s few sources willing to speak on the record, wrote on Bluesky that more elites needed to start speaking out against the president and his authoritarian ambitions. “I am disappointed in those who think keeping quiet will save them,” he said. “It will not.” Ryan Enos, a political scientist at Harvard University, acknowledged the dangers outlined in Luce’s column but also pointed out reasons for hope. “This wannabe dictator is also extremely unpopular and those of us with the courage to stand up have the American people on our side,” he argued. “It’ll take courage and focus, but democracy can win.” The elites interviewed by Luce expressed their reticence to publicly speak out against Trump days after more than 7 million people gathered at thousands of “No Kings” protests condemning the president’s authoritarian agenda—despite the administration’s threats against protest movements. Residents in cities including Portland, Oregon and Chicago have also resisted federal agents carrying out Trump’s mass detention and deportation campaign.

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House.

Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.

A two-panel horizontal bar chart titled “Electoral Effects of Ideological Moderation vs. Incumbency.” The top panel, labeled “Effect of Being the Incumbent,” shows large positive estimated vote share effects (between roughly +2% and +4%) across seven different measures of ideology. All bars are to the right of zero, indicating a strong and statistically significant advantage for incumbents. The bottom panel, labeled “Effect of Moving to the Center,” shows estimated vote effects when candidates shift ideologically toward the center. Across the same seven ideology measures, the horizontal bars cluster around zero, with confidence intervals that cross zero—indicating no statistically significant electoral benefit from moving to the center. The chart visually contrasts the strong, consistent incumbency advantage against the negligible and statistically insignificant effect of ideological moderation. The note clarifies that moderation refers to shifting a candidate’s ideology toward the 95th percentile of centrist positioning.

The NYT piece is skeptical of academic data, asking for measures tied directly to voter perceptions.

This chart includes exactly that—the survey-based "Voter Perceptions" score (from the CES). It shows moving to the center has no effect on vote share, while the benefit of incumbency is clear.

SNAP benefits jeopardized by federal government shutdown Most SNAP households have elderly people, children, or individuals with disabilities.

Thanks to a bunch of wealthy fascists and fascist enablers, *2 million* Pennsylvania residents are officially losing their SNAP benefits next month. That includes 500,000 Philadelphians—1 in 3 residents. The GOP fiddles while our people starve
