As the (ex) transportation secretary, how concerned are you regarding the safety of air travel under the new administration and their changes to the FAA? I'm hesitant to board any plane these days....
Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.
Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law
Time to do things that make him react to you.

Biden's EO (#13989) was standard practice for the companies I worked for- don't accept gifts (bribes), and don't engage in any conflict of interest activities while you are working for said company. Why wouldn't we want that implemented in our government? I've contacted my Congressperson.

What a load of horseshit.
...another example of when it comes down to the tough decisions, people will justify ANYTHING.
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "We have 8,400 firefighters working the lines; 16,000 personnel; 2,500 National Guard trying to address the issue of looting; 750 CHP as we speak; we have the EPA starting to do phase 1 of the debris removal... All of that [rightwing disinformation] is a deep distraction."
Pass it on please.
The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care.
But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix.
The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.
Always the cleanup crew. 🤦🏻♂️

Fuck you, MAGA.
I know you're on here, too, so I hope you see this.
Running on a platform of “everything is broken, and only I can fix it”, getting elected, and then threatening to invade other countries is not nazi-like behavior at all, nope.
That'll be yet another disappointment for little Donny Jr., the first being that the white stuff on the ground there is in fact just snow.
A reminder, on this election verification day, how the dems put the constitution ahead of their party, while four years ago, the GOP did not. youtu.be/fCpyAirTZms?...
We don’t forget.
This is what January 6th is:
Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.
He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
Make sure everyone sees this cartoon. - @aaronparnas.bsky.social
Anyone else wondering how the right wing media outlets are going to address the contrast between tomorrow's election certification against the certification four years ago?
My prediction: crickets.
Random thoughts.
1. Trump manages to fix a few things in spite of himself.
MAGA: See? We told you.
2. Trump worsens things.
MAGA: Well, it's going to take time to fix that. It's the previous administration's fault.
That shouldn't stop us from doing our I-Told-You-So dance. MAGA f'n hates that.
Hi, I’m God.
I support diversity, equity and inclusion.
I do not support uniformity, injustice and segregation.
Hope this helps,
God

I've occasionally used the idiom "Fer Fuck's Sake" as a way to emphasize exasperation for (insert any Maga behavior here). This time, I literally mean "fer fuck's sake", because poor fuck needs some support here.

Tired and fed up with trying to have conversations and civil discourse with MAGA “patriots” who could give two shits about any other opinions. Nope. Yah wanna engage? Screw you and your bigoted, hypocritical, hateful ideals. THAT’S my argument. Change my mind.
Good for you, Joe. The GOP ignores/gaslights us when we point out their hypocritical behavior, so I'm fine not engaging ("but Biden said he wouldn't"...). The GOP and 47 are going to do anything to stay in power, so I say let's drop the niceties, take off the gloves, & fight. #hunterpardon
I'm keeping a shared "Christmas Watchables" list with our neighbor friends, as there are just too many great holiday classics out there. Nutcrackers just made the list, & I'm hoping it stays there. Let me know your thoughts on the movie.
Family includes everyone! ❤️
We know 47's qualifications are simple. Loyalty. Doesn't matter how big a dirtbag you are, as long as your head is buried up his rear end. FYI, I'm slightly more worried about the incompetence of 47's picks- it usually takes intelligence and diplomacy to enact major changes, and I'm seeing neither.
We always have a big group on Thanksgiving, so there are always an embarrassing amount of leftovers. Then it becomes a delicate balance of how much you give the guests to take against how much you want to piss off your spouse when she goes on her 2am mashed potato recon mission.
Standard GOP playbook. Call out "wins" as quickly as possible, truth be damned. The cult won't bother checking the deets, because 47's word is gospel. SMH.
