Opening the government with no concessions from GOP merely to alleviate airline cancellations - when Congress has been dragging its feet for years on chronic FAA staffing issues - is a lame ass choice.

Also, doing it while the House refuses to work is appalling.

You CANNOT spend FSA money on health care premiums, and if you’re self-employed or unemployed you don’t even have a fucking FSA.

Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare.

I won’t do that to the people I represent. I’m a NO on this “deal.”

Serious question - if my daughter m’s flight is somehow not cancelled do I actually fly her home for thanksgiving. Because I’m not sure it’s worth the risk. Any opinions from experts?

i think our last chance was 2016

like imagine a playground. a lot of kids enjoy it, but it's old, and kinda dangerous

sanders was "let's rebuild it from the ground up and replace anything unsafe"

clinton was "slap a new coat of paint on that thing"

I agree, we are being destroyed as a country because being ignorant and stupid was seen as a positive by so many people. Never imagined we could decline so rapidly.

Forcing commercial pilots to white-knuckle it through the skies because the FAA fired all of the "woke" air-traffic controllers is how we make America great again.

Flying at 8000 feet today
News
Captain says flying at 8000 feet (!) Newark to Savannah today instead of 34000 because of air traffic control restrictions. Everyone has to say seated including flight attendants. Never in my 40 years in flying has this happened … wondering what the view will be 😀

Sure Americans are in bread lines and layoffs are ripping across the country and prices are up and health care costs are skyrocketing… but least Ghislaine is happier now, that’s what counts!

This would be a great thing for Alabama if former senator Doug Jones ran for governor.

The man has legacy of being a hero for people in need of help.

Hell, Doug Jones saved my life, story for another day.

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

Bought our house back in the day of high interest rates. When we refinanced for lower rate we looked at the $ and said yep let’s keep the payments but do 15 year mortgage. I realize we were lucky but JFC look at the numbers on what you pay over time. 50 years is crazy!

I still can’t get over the 100,000+ patriots in Chicago who protested against the orange felon during the No Kings marches last month. More of this.

I'm Canadian.

Our airports are open.
We feed our poor.
Everyone has healthcare.
We have allies.
We don't stab friends in the back.
Our leadership is sane and thoughtful.
We don't snatch people off the streets.
We have rule of law for everyone.

Why would anyone think we'd want to be a 51st state?

‘How is this possible?’: a new film looks inside the appalling abuses of the Alabama prison system In the year’s most shocking documentary, The Alabama Solution, prisoners share astonishing footage in a plea for help

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons.

State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations.

The current GOP lie is that they’re going to replace Obamacare with something better.

Bullshit. In all of the majorities they’ve had since Obamacare passed, they’ve never once tried to replace it.

They’ve tried to repeal it a whole bunch, but never actually make it better.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.
