@AirCanada Can someone reply to my DM? Due to flight cancellations I had to cancel a hotel reservation and now I am flying to a city that I don’t have a place to stay at overnight. Please help me fix this.

A billionaire telling Congress they don’t have the authority to investigate the Supreme Court. This is oligarchy.

Here are the facts:

The GOP raised the debt ceiling:

- 3 times under Trump
- 7 times under W. Bush
- 18 times under Reagan.

97% of all US debt was incurred prior to Biden's presidency.

25% of all US debt was incurred under Trump.

This is a #RepublicanDefaultCrisis.

Laredo is the only major port on the southern #border without a wall. Two days after Abbott warned of #BorderChaos with the end of Title 42, all you can hear are birds chirping. A family across is fishing. It’s almost as though a wall isn’t the answer.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Reminder: Under the previous president, Republicans voted to increase the debt limit three times.

Three times.

Nashville PD neutralized the killer in 14 minutes. Then in less than 24 hrs later they release body cam footage.

Meanwhile @TxDPS let the #Uvalde killer wreak havoc for 77 minutes and made legislators sign NDAs to view footage. 10 months later they have YET to be transparent about what happened on May 24.

We have to hold DPS accountable for its failures!

Republican governor of Ohio Mike DeWine: “[President Biden] called me and said ‘Anything you need.’ I have not called him back after that conversation. I will not hesitate to do that if we’re seeing a problem, but I’m not seeing it.”

🔴 TX Rep. Carrie Isaac (Rep) files a bill that would prohibit county officials from placing a voting site on a university campus.

Last year Texas A&M students accused Brazos County of voter suppression after an on-campus polling spot was removed.

On February 3rd, 2023, a train carrying 100,000 gallons of hazardous vinyl chloride and other toxic chemicals derailed & exploded in Ohio.

One of the largest ecological disasters in US history.

Your “child” is Donald Trump. We are extending the debt ceiling to pay the debts he racked up.

Energy demand through ERCOT is expected to crest soon near 75GW, higher than expected.

But - the same wind that's blowing in this cold air is also supplying 1/3 of our current needs. Comfortable surplus in energy production remains #txwx

BREAKING: the House just passed a bill that requires the IRS to conduct annual audits of the president’s tax returns after it was found the IRS failed to do so for 2 years under Trump. Every Democrat voted for it. But *201* Republicans voted against it. Absolutely pathetic.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

And yet y’all still voted against raising the minimum wage

Without modern medicine, the avg lifespan would still be around 35. Idk what’s y’all issue with medicine 😂

Elon Musk just suspended a bunch of journalists, including Aaron Rupar, who cover him — without any reason. By silencing journalists, it’s clear that Elon Musk doesn’t care about free speech or democracy. He only cares about himself. We should all be outraged.
