NEW: Around 100 protesters were arrested on Saturday at a pro-Palestine encampment at @northeastern University, but not the pro-Israel agitator whose hate speech got everything shut down. My latest for @thedailybeast:

the enshittification of air traffic control

[Secretary Sean Duffy @SecDuffy]

The @FAAnews issued a nationwide ground stop for all U.S. airports following a communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers. FAA technicians are investigating the issue. We will provide immediate updates as we have them.

[Tom McKay @thetomzone]

Just last night from me @Gizmodo: the FAA rolled out an AI air traffic tool seemingly ahead of schedule this week. I have no idea if it's connected, but we're looking into it. https://t.co/dQk3T0M5hQ

NEW: Last holiday season, Donald Trump plugged Walmart’s Holiday Meal promotion as proof he’d delievered lower prices. (Spoiler alert: that wasn’t true at all.) Fast forward a year, and Walmart has unveiled a new snapshot of Trump’s crumbling economy. https://t.co/35fR6v9dHf

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

In this election, Americans called on us to unrig an economy rigged against working people & fueled by political corruption.

To deliver, we need new leadership. This isn't about any one person – it’s about answering that call.

That's why I’m running for Senate Majority Leader.

@rep_jackson You were reportedly seen on the steps outside of the U.S. Capitol before the vote closed. Any explanation for that, congressman? https://t.co/ig07kW8EQg

[edie olmsted @edieocre]

It's not clear who was in attendance at the reception. Of the 11 Democrats who missed the Hegseth vote, 8 have received support from EDW or its action group, including Brownley, who sits on the organization’s executive board, and Stansbury, who serves on the board of directors.

NEW: Full List of Democrats Who Missed Hegseth Impeachment Vote—and Why https://t.co/QkwsGA3t9A

[edie olmsted @edieocre]

Representative Katherine Clark, who as Democratic whip is responsible for organizing her party’s House members ahead of a vote, is also one of the founding members of EDW. Clark was not absent for the vote, and called the results a “disgrace.”

I write solely about politics and am constantly receiving random pr emails about stuff like the best cities to live in and britani bateman's one woman show

[Joshua Hunt @viajoshhunt]

I'm sure many of you are good at your jobs, and take care not to send holiday gift guides to politics reporters or war correspondents. But my experience is that many PR people do little more than spam random journalists relentlessly, sometimes even after they've said "no thanks."

[edie olmsted @edieocre]

@JBKSchlossberg oh, you have completely lost it!

[edie olmsted @edieocre]

@JBKSchlossberg have you lost your damn mind?

Democrats won enough state legislative control yesterday to pass the national popular vote interstate compact and eliminate the electoral college

NEW: Vice President JD Vance is desperate to save himself from the blue wave—even if that means letting President Donald Trump drown. https://t.co/gnfwzPgs7k

[edie olmsted @edieocre]

I'm lib-posting instructions to Democrats. It feels good to be back.

[edie olmsted @edieocre]

Establishment Democrats need to ante up. It's time to go after Trump and his Cabinet. This isn't about getting even. It's about lawfully rooting out authoritarians based on their blatant lawlessness and corruption.

[edie olmsted @edieocre]

Democrats cannot frame pursuing Trump and his cronies' impeachments as "getting even" and not a priority for voters --- Democrats have no reason to be the party that allows the fascists to walk away unscathed after their blatant corruption and lawlessness

[David Klion @DavidKlion]

The big lesson of the Biden years is that you have to prosecute these people. You can’t just move on. You need to make the next generation of grifters and hate mongers scared for their lives.
