@NYCTSubway why is there a 14min wait for a queens bound R train at 59th Lex? There's no delay posted, what's going on

[Alison O'Connor @AOCinNYC]

@NYCTSubway why is there a W train stopped on the queens bound side at 59th Lex?! When is the next R train coming? There's no alert posted???

[Alison O'Connor @AOCinNYC]

@NYCTSubway Y'all are really raising the fare for THIS SERVICE?!

[Alison O'Connor @AOCinNYC]

@SouthwestAir what's going on with flight WN295 LGA to BNA? We're overbooked by 30 ppl(?!?!) and now grounded for a "maintenance issue"? Is this how your "new & improved" system is working out?

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

Anybody acting like TikTok going offline isn’t a political disaster for Democrats is deeply unserious.

Most political issues never touch people’s daily lives—but 170 million Americans just had their favorite social media platform taken away from them.

And Trump is going to position himself as the savior. JFC.

[Alison O'Connor @AOCinNYC]

@NYCTSubway These trains aren’t delayed, they aren’t moving AT ALL in either direction. Any idea when they’ll start moving?

[Ben & Jerry's @benandjerrys]

Congress is working to pass a bill that would have a devastating, chilling effect on free speech and give the Trump administration power to strip tax-exempt status from nonprofits without due process or even a clear explanation (1/3).

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

House Republicans have revived HR 9495, which would give Trump power to shut down nonprofits he doesn't like under the guise of fighting “terrorism.”

52 House Dems shamefully joined the GOP in voting for it last week.

Every Dem should vote against this authoritarian power-grab.

@NYCTSubway what’s going on with manhattan bound R trains? We’re stuck at Queens Plaza, not moving.

[Richard Stengel @stengel]

Trump has fallen below 50% in the popular vote. His margin of victory (pop vote + electoral college) is the third smallest since 1888. (Only JFK in '60 and Nixon in '68 were smaller.) If 238k votes in the blue wall states had been different, he would have lost. Not a mandate.

[Jordan Crucchiola @JorCru]

The “soul searching” by Dems is certainly necessary and they’ve been losing the working class for a long time now etc. But a true thing about this election also is that misinformation has reached industrial complex levels and voters were manipulated at an unprecedented scale.

[Chadly @ChadsRcool]

Mike Tyson is almost 60 years old. He shouldn’t be fighting. He should be getting ready to run for president in 15 years.

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

NBC News confirms:

A woman told the House Ethics Committee earlier this year that she once saw Matt Gaetz have sex with a minor.

The woman's lawyer says she testified before the Committee "that she witnessed Rep. Gaetz having sex with a minor at a house party in Orlando in 2017." https://t.co/VcT8dA5epv

watching ben shapiro get murdered by words is my kink

[Michael Steele @MichaelSteele]

So much drama. So much “Oh my God!” only to bend over when it’s confirmation time and give Trump what he wants. Yawn.

Republicans, please stop the excited utterances about what Trump did, or might do. He told you. Spare us your shock at his nominating Matt Gaetz,Tulsi Gabbard and Pete Hegseth,—why would you expect anyone less sycophantic or loyal to him? He told you.

You sacrificed your country upon the altar of your own fears, ambitions and inadequacies for a two-bit wannabe “dictator”. He told you.

Spare us your lamentations.

[Alison O'Connor @AOCinNYC]

@NYCTSubway when is the next Manhattan bound train arriving at the 46th st stop in queens? Been waiting a long time, the countdown board isn’t updating, currently a trash train in the station?!

[Mark D. Levine @MarkLevineNYC]

Timely reminder that in the U.S., covid vaccines prevented:
* 3.2M add’l deaths
* 19.5M add’l hospitalizations
* 120M add’l infections
* $1.5 trillion in add’l medical costs

This account has been given a grey checkmark, verifying it as an official government account.

It also only accepts resumes be DM's, which are solely open to verified X users who pay Elon Musk.

This level of corruption is staggering.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Robert Kennedy will have no control over drug pricing, but he will be able to limit women’s access to mifepristone.

I expected Republican men to betray women, but this is shocking.
