Three times this year Senate Republicans have waived the 60-vote requirement of Senate Rule 22 to end debate and proceed with a simple majority vote without any Democrats. To override CA electric vehicle standards, yes. To fund the government, no. Not when they can blame the Democrats.

"The math is simple. About 30% wash out at the Academy. Another 20% fail to certify at their first facility. That leaves about 56% who make it to full qualification. To get 9,000 certified controllers, the FAA will need to hire about 16,000 people." avbrief.org/supercharged...

10 days ago Firecrown, which now owns virtually all general aviation publications, fired AvWeb Editor-in-Chief Russ Niles and all the other staff effectively destroying one of the most topical, influential and informational aviation news sources. In days Russ created a better pub in its stead.

Thanks to Russ Niles AVBrief is an inspiring story of an aviation journalist's integrity, skill and determination. Russ, in matter of days, created a new web site AvBrief.org that uses human intelligence to report on aviation. And he's done it well. Please subscribe and support.

General Aviation's publication overlord, Firecrown Media, already destroyed the former Belvoir magazines Aviation Consumer and Aviation Safety. Now it's rendered AvWeb into an AI publication. Choose the human intelligence of AVBrief instead for your aviation news.

Sen. Murkowski had to have been thinking "what does Sen. Collins do if I vote 'no' on the abominable bill." How likely is it that she caves to pressure and votes 'yes'? In which case Alaska gets screwed by a bill with none of the measures I negotiated to mitigate impacts. Pretty likely I think.

The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.

Using the CA National Guard to overthrow the Mayor of LA and the Governor of California.

Senators are ELECTED to be a VOICE for their constituents. What happens when that voice is stifled, thrown to the ground, and handcuffed like Senator Padilla was? We have a democracy, but we can lose that democracy. I took to the Senate floor to speak out—I hope you'll join me.

At this point in my life I'm trying to decide whether RFK Jr is going to get me killed before Trump bankrupts me.

Massively cutting Medicaid and SNAP isn’t the only way to find savings. We could just forgo tax cuts for Americans making over $500K instead. My @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social Chart

Bringing this to Bsky bc @steverattner.bsky.social hasn't posted it yet and it's so critical. The entirety of the cuts to Medicaid and food benefits are to pay for tax cuts for people earning more than half a million a year. Call Congress: 202-224-3121

"do the next right thing"

"The Democrats will have still rebranded themselves as the party that would save the country by taxing the rich. That’s what the public will remember." If they start now.

Some breaking news in my latest. Others pointed out that Witkoff appeared to be in Moscow when he joined the Houthi PC Group chat. Sky News has a detailed story on his timeline in Moscow. I ran that against the timeline from the Atlantic article. Witkoff was waiting for Putin when he was added.(1/2)

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

Hey DNC and individual Democrats don't come to me with your incessant emails and texts asking for donations unless you're showing me you know how to fight loud and hard for democracy.

Seems like only the most MAGA faithful would blame Dems, suggests that politically this should be a no-brainer for them.

Respect to Sugarbush. 2/3

And respect to Mad River Glen. 3/3

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

17,000 constituents joined for some or all of it. Well done, @repricklarsen.bsky.social!

Having worked inside a DC federal agency office building, it wasn't easy for someone to get past security guards without a government ID unless someone with an ID came to meet and escort you. You couldn’t just flash your Costco membership card and walk on through to whatever office you wanted.

Ways to delay Senate GOP by @normornstein.bsky.social : 1. Insist Journal of the Senate be read. 2. Deny unanimous consent to every action. 3. Refuse to allow committees to meet when there is on the floor.

This 7-minute TikTok by @katzonearth.bsky.social is worth watching for how it (1) reveals that Katie Britt falsely transposed a horrific story from 2000s Mexico to 2020s U.S. and (2) checks facts via a short, compelling, sharable video. More of this, please! tiktok.com/t/ZPRT1NXtU/
