FAA issued ground stop at New York’s JFK airport and Chicago’s O’Hare airport due to staffing shortages caused by government shutdown.

Sen. Lindsey Graham — quoted here by Jake Sherman — objecting to ACA subsidy extension bc “it would enrich health insurance companies even more”

Republicans waged a relentless, decades-long campaign to privatize Medicare and Medicaid

They fought even mild efforts to expand public insurance

Now they are objecting to extending extra ACA subsidies, supposedly because money flows to private insurers

We are supposed to take this seriously?

Taps sign

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

Kash Patel’s Private Jet Problem Is Even Worse Than It Looks This dude can’t stop flying to Nashville.

There are some things we don't know, but what’s fairly clear is that Patel has been using the jet for events that have no real overlap with the actual responsibilities of the FBI. ICYMI @willsommer.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/kash-patel...

It's not even noon yet and feds (specifically Border Patrol and BOP officers in this caravan with Bovino) have fired tear gas, pepper balls, and bean bag rounds at people in Little Village and Cicero.

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt?

He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

Trump, after trying to force Washington’s football team to use a explicitly racist name, now wants it to name its new stadium after him. Trump flack: “That would be a beautiful name, as it was President Trump who made the rebuilding of the new stadium possible.” Via ESPN

They want you to leave your phones at home so you can’t take video of them. If you leave your phone at home, take a go-pro with you. Cameras out, America!

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.”

The result was “institutionalized hunger.”

“Federal authorities told demonstrators Friday that there would be “no more prayer” in front of or inside the Broadview ICE facility…”

Is there any part of the First Amendment the Trump administration isn’t happy to violate?

Trump has accused boat crews of being narco-terrorists. The truth, AP found, is more nuanced One was a fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month. Another was a career criminal. A third was a former military cadet.

Most of the nine men were crewing such craft for the first or second time, making at least $500 per trip, residents and relatives said. They were laborers, a fisherman, a motorcycle taxi driver. Two were low-level career criminals. One was a well-known local crime boss.
