BREAKING: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has introduced legislation that would bar Supreme Court justices from accepting lavish gifts from billionaires and other wealthy benefactors.
BREAKING: HELL YES! Delta Air Lines announces an immediate end to its special privileges for members of Congress until the MAGA government shutdown ends.
Now they'll have to suffer with the rest of us peasants...
“Due to the impact on resources from the longstanding government shutdown, Delta will temporarily suspend specialty services to members of Congress flying Delta,” Delta stated. “Next to safety, Delta’s No. 1 priority is taking care of our people and customers, which has become increasingly difficult in the current environment.”
The dedicated service desk in question allows lawmakers to obtain government rates for trips, make ticketing changes at the last minute, and book multiple seats on multiple flights on the same day to make it easier for them to come and go for votes.
The decision to end the special treatment for members of Congress comes as airport lines have grown ludicrously long in recent days due to a failure by the Trump administration to reach a deal on DHS funding. The TSA falls under DHS so the partial shutdown has them understaffed and stretched thin. Many employees are going without pay and over 400 have quit.
“TSA officers just received $0 paychecks. That is simply unacceptable. It’s difficult, if not impossible, to put food on the table, put gas in the car and pay rent when you are not getting paid,” several airline executives wrote to Congress earlier this month.
At the Hartsfield Jackson International Airport in Atlanta alone, travelers were urged to a lot at least four hours to pass through TSA. Under total Republican control of our government, everything is falling apart. Illegal wars are being waged overseas as our domestic situation spirals into chaos. Trump can't even keep our airports orderly.
Rather than strike a deal with Democrats to end this burden on the American people, Trump has flooded his undertrained, violence-prone ICE agents into airports around the country. They're predictably terrorizing and detaining innocent people already. On top of that, he's now calling for the DHS funding to be tied to his voter suppression bill, increasing the likelihood that this shutdown stretches on.
If the rest of us have to deal with the negative consequences of Republican leadership, the least that the airlines can do is make them feel our pain!
Please ❤️ and share to thank Delta!
🚨 BREAKING: At Trump’s ICE detention camp in Dilley, Texas, agents are reportedly raiding family dormitories to confiscate children’s letters after they exposed abuse and neglect.
Kids wrote about fear, depression, and being denied school.
Instead of fixing the conditions, authorities are trying to silence them.
Raiding children’s letters.
Inside a detention camp.
@GreysAnatomyHD I just need SOMEONE, ANYONE to explain why Baldwin City, KS was chosen for his destination. I went to college in that beautiful, tiny little Maple Leaf covered town. And it’s a 40 minute drive from where I live today. I’d love to know the writer connection to that town??
Why is Trump going after America's air traffic controllers, today of all days?
It's one more way to distract from his decision to increase your health insurance premiums.
🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration has barred grocery stores from offering discounts to SNAP recipients, threatening penalties for stores that try to lower food costs for low-income families.
They won’t stop until hunger itself is privatized.
@krassenstein The sad fact is that MAGA Christians should know that Trump is not going to heaven, because he will never accept Christ or repent. He has claimed many times that he isn't a Christian and will never repent. And yet they believe he is the messiah. It has to be a cult.
I'm at a loss for words...
Superman was an undocumented immigrant shot to Earth in a spaceship. Trump would’ve had ICE waiting on the landing pad.
Superman fought corrupt billionaires like Lex Luthor. Trump is Lex Luthor, minus the genius.
Superman lifted people up. Trump cuts school lunches, healthcare, and food assistance—so his billionaire buddies can buy bigger yachts.
When you betray your base, sell out to Epstein’s pals, and tank the country, I guess all that’s left is to slap on a cape and pray the cult still cults.
@krassenstein So do all these troupes, participating in this grotesque glorification of their fascist leader, understand he thinks they’re ALL chumps and losers?
A pretty shocking clip from today. An LAPD officer on horseback tramples a protester who then falls in front of another horse. As others try to help the protester up, an LAPD officer wields a blunt weapon to strike the protester, but strikes a nearby horse in the head.
BREAKING: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau just dropped a bomb on Trump. He speaks directly to the American people.
He explains clearly the repercussions of Trump's Trade War on Canada, and exactly how it's going to cause tremendous pain to Americans.
He is clear that Canada loves America and the American people and they want nothing to do with this. But it's Trump's doing, and his actions will cause immense damage to America.
