Yesterday, we successfully operated a historic direct commercial service between Nigeria and the Caribbean, connecting people, businesses, cultures and opportunities like never before.
With over 284 passengers onboard the inaugural Lagos–Barbados flight, this milestone marks another bold step in strengthening Africa-Caribbean connectivity while reducing the stress of multiple stopovers and transit visa hurdles.
BREAKING: YES! Congressman Ro Khanna shatters the emergency glass and calls for expanding the Supreme Court to 13 justices and term limiting their seats.
We're done letting this corrupt institution destroy our democracy...
"We must stand up to this modern day Dred Scott Court," Khanna said in a video posted to X, referring to an infamous 1857 Supreme Court pro-slavery ruling which held that Black people could not be citizens under the Constitution.
"They have unleashed a process that will eliminate the only Black majority district in the state of South Carolina. ," Khanna continued. "South Carolina has a Black population of 25%, but they would be left with not a single Black majority district or Black political representation in the house."
"We need term limits for these justices now. And we need to expand the Supreme Court from nine to 13 justices," he concluded.
Bravo congressman. Short, sweet, and to the point is the best way to handle this messaging. This court has totally shredded its legitimacy by handing down one far-right ruling after another in contradiction of legal precedent, good judgement, and moral valence.
Clarence Thomas has been bought and paid for by conservative billionaire Harlan Crow and Samuel Alito is every bit as corrupt, having accepted bribes in the form of luxury fishing trips and private jet travel from billionaire Paul Singer.
Corporations and oligarchs control our court and the only way to remedy that problem is to expand it, nominating justices who actually care about the rights and interests of the American people.
The alternative is to do nothing and watch as Republicans exploit the court to implement their deeply unpopular, minoritarian, fascist agenda. The gerrymandering assault on Black voters that Khanna mentioned is just the beginning. If we don't act now, the court will strip away more and more of our democracy until all that remains is white Christian rule.
Do you support expanding the court?
How many justices should we add?
Do you have any concerns about the process?
Please ❤️ and share if you support expanding the court!
Barney Frank was one of a kind. For more than three decades in Congress, he fought tirelessly for the people of Massachusetts, helped make housing more affordable, stood up for the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans, and helped pass one of the most sweeping financial reforms in history designed to protect consumers and prevent another financial crisis. Barney’s passion and wit were second to none, and our thoughts are with his family today.
Michelle and I can’t wait for you to visit the Obama Presidential Center!

Tickets available at https://t.co/ahkDMKalIn.
Barack Obama hasn't been President in almost 10 years. MAGA racists cannot get past the fact that a Black man was President, won the Nobel Peace Prize, and will be remembered in history as one of the great leaders of the 21st Century.
RETWEET if you love President Obama! 💙
that headline sounds scary, but I’d slow it down a bit
when China adjusts holdings in U.S. Treasuries, it’s often currency management or liquidity moves, not a straight “we’re dumping before a crash” signal
also numbers like ¥1.2T (~$150–170B) are big, but not unusual on a global scale — flows in that market are massive
I’ve seen this narrative before: big sell → people call crash → market just absorbs it
if it was truly panic-level selling, yields would spike hard and stay there
right now it feels more like repositioning than “they know something”
🚨 BREAKING
🇨🇳 CHINA JUST DUMPED ¥1.2 TRILLION IN U.S. TREASURIES!
THIS IS THE BIGGEST SELL-OFF IN THE LAST 20 YEARS, AND IT'S DIRECTLY TIED TO THE OIL CRISIS.
LOOKS LIKE THEY KNOW ANOTHER MARKET CRASH IS COMING...
