So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Not feeding people is foul

LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR: DOJ DID ALL OF THIS TO TRY AND STOP PAYMENTS TO PEOPLE UNDER AN ANTI-HUNGER PROGRAM.

We must rebrand paying taxes as a patriotic duty and tax evaders as unpatriotic. bsky.app/profile/thed...

no, I don't wanna download another fucking app on my phone

Fuck these guys. People have lost or about to lose their access to food and these ghouls want tax incentives to build data centers to generate useless slip videos. Link to original document cdn.openai.com/pdf/21b88bb5...

FAA-mandated flight reductions started to take effect this morning, resulting in more than 800 nationwide cancellations by 6 a.m. ET. Each canceled flight is at least two canceled flights (for a plane that only goes back-and-forth between two cities). Planes out of position cancel/delay more.

My article Voids of Constitutional Law is now up on SSRN. The article examines how the Supreme Court constructs substantive, procedural and temporal voids in areas incl. exec. power, immigration, separation of powers, election law. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.

Infantino is indeed worse than Blatter

you shouldn’t talk to a journalist about how people in need of abortions access them when abortions are outlawed, and this is no different. shutting the fuck up is free.

@ericlawrence.com TIL edge does allow you to change the default new tab directly ( you have to use an extension), do you know if there is a specific reason for this or it’s an oversight

War fighters don’t need food. They are the ultimate killing machines, the Secretary of War( because defense is for the weak and war fighters only attack) however needs to drown himself in a ton of alcohol to function. bsky.app/profile/404m...

NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown. The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:

I watched all the victory speeches on C-SPAN and listened to the perspectives of all the callers. I found that to be a much more balanced view than listening to pundits on the major networks.

okay, that's good

"No longer will we have to open a history book for proof that Democrats can be great."

This may be the funniest election in 100 years www.npr.org/2025/08/29/n...

Still waiting for the live cam of all the billionnaires packing up their NYC apartments to move to Ohio

California Republicans were against gerrymandering, but only in California. The rest of the state just showed that the gerrymandering that was good for Texas is also good for California.

Been hearing about how we need a "Democratic Joe Rogan" but have you considered we need a Democratic Zohran Mamdani?

It is impossible until it is done.

hope over fear.

"The future is in our hands, my friends we have toppled a political dynasty" can someone check on the minority leader?

I could get used to this

Bluesky rn

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

i know how to keep a man interested (sending my boyfriend detailed electoral maps)

Prop 50 too. I love this full blown goose egg.

No comment.

Hopefully this ends the Cuomo family hold on New York politics for over 50 years. His name is Mamdani, Cuomo still can’t get it right.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

Cuomo wants to cry. If they tried to bribe Sliwa, does that mean Adam took the $10 million?

Andrew Cuomo to join Harvard’s Institute of Politics

It’s cool that Chuck Schumer, Kiersten Gillibrand, and Hakeem Jeffries just proved to every future dem that establishment approval is irrelevant tbh

stay tuned

Zohran was polling at six percent in January. Nothing is impossible

The most important lesson for Democrats from Mamdani's victory is this: abandon the decades-old practice of triangulating to win the center. Instead, grow the base with a positive, joyful vision for what government can do when it gives up on being shackled to a Republican base.

When is Bill Ackman leaving?
