Good fucking morning to everyone except Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy — who’s spent more time this year lecturing Americans on airport dress codes than preventing crashes or reducing delays. I say that as I sit on the tarmac. Again. Delayed, of course. I miss Pete Buttigieg.

Also, so we’re all clear, not EVERY journalist in NYC has a press card. The people who require press cards are those who cover public events, such as protests. Very few people who’ve been working 20 years, respectfully, have the type of stamina needed to be on the ground enough to merit a card.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.
