CNN: Breaking news concerning several major airports in the DC area. There's currently a ground stop. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says the FAA is working to address the source of a strong odor at an air traffic control facility which services those airports

Unfortunately, she’s not in my district but I’ve been doing what I can to help. I’ll never forget the day ICE threw her to the ground, I heard her bones hit the concrete. She’s a real fighter, I really hope she wins. Chicago is tough politics

A secretive political organisation is paying influencers US$1500 per post to attack a young, female Democratic candidate in an upcoming primary in Illinois. I'd expect to see something similiar coming from Advance ahead of the Farrer byelection, and electoral laws struggle to respond.

I have nothing to add here. Yes, it’s that bad.

Trump Has Already Thrown the 2026 World Cup Into Chaos newrepublic.com/article/2072... via @newrepublic.com

1. Trump launches a war against Iran. 2. Putin helps Iran track down and kill American service members. 3. Trump rewards Putin by lifting sanctions on Russian oil. If Donald Trump isn’t a Russian agent, he’s going out of his way to make people think he is.

WATCH: “The answer has to be a more progressive tax system. Give people the necessities of life for free — childcare, healthcare… the rich keep getting richer…” Lloyd Blankfein, Senior Chair of Goldman Sachs, out here sounding like @aoc.bsky.social & Bernie 👀 🎯 (From @bluegeorgia.bsky.social )

We just learned that 6,000 companies have contracts with ICE. Not just a few hundred. SIX THOUSAND. We have a lot of boycotting and demands to make, folks.

🚨 Naomi Smith, CEO of Best for Britain: Elon Musk is a “dangerous and malign influence, who belongs nowhere near our critical infrastructure.” https://www.ft.com/content/999125b0-9ae7-426b-8755-eff076545ade

A more honest and accurate headline would be: "Trump assured massive profits to fuel Putin's war on Europe while simultaneously paying off oil execs who bankrolled his campaign."

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didn’t think he had any duty to sell it or serve the people’s interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week. Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool. But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

Trump: "And now I, as the 47th President of the United States, am killing them. What a great honor it is to do so! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP" Trump is the deranged scumbag.

Sleep is hard. "I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honor it is to do so!"

I don't know, but I guess it bothers me some that the President of the United States posted on social media that it is his great honor to be killing people. 🤷‍♂️

If there is anyone in this entire world stupid enough to actually launch a nuclear attack, it’s going to be tRump. And that scares me to death.

It bothers me he got "reelected". He's proven repeatedly his incompetence and selfishness. I look upon my fellow citizens in horror. How any American could vote for this convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, pathological liar and traitor is beyond me.

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year. Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants. They are good for society and the economy.

Murphy: I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so it's no surprise that this war is going horribly

I have no doubts that they have a Hiroshima and Nagasaki response in play. It's just who is going to do it. My guess is the Big I Am is aching to do it and BiBi will allow him to take that lead and eventual blame.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 billion per day on a war in the Middle East that no one wants, while millions of people at home struggle. "That's just how it is."

People need to watch what Lawrence Wilkerson has to say about Israel using a nuke on Iran. Watch how he admits during his time with Bush when he was in the military he himself committed war crimes. More people are saying nukes are coming. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVvE...

More rumors are going around Netanyahu is preparing to use nukes against Iran to stop the war. This would be a war crime and a stain the the American people that will never wash off.

Too many people, including some news media, let the truth be trampled upon without thought for what is happening to us and our nation.

Maasdam: What we’re doing overseas — spending billions of dollars a day. In two weeks, we probably spent $25 billion. We had an Ayatollah Khomeini to start, and now we have a new Ayatollah Khomeini. And how is this making things in my district more affordable for people? It’s not

Trump during the campaign: “I will end that war in 24 hours. It won’t even take that long. There will be no more bombing of Ukraine and Russia and everyone will be happy. It wouldn’t even be that tough. I know just what to say to each of them. It will be over in one phone call.”

"The spirit of liberty requires moral courage among the people who are elected to Congress... but it also requires all of us It requires us to speak out without fear It requires us to tell others unpleasant truths that they do not want to hear."
