Here’s an easy solution: Finalize the rule that @USDOT scrapped that would compensate passengers for these airline-caused delays. I’ve been demanding this for years. Let’s get it done.

Today, American Airlines delays me 2.5 hours because someone failed to notice empty hydraulic fluid before it was time to go down the runway.

Yesterday, they apparently forgot to BOOK A PILOT for my wife’s flight.

I’m going to take a new interest in the airline industry.

Trump is lying and hyping the threat. Iran does not pose an imminent danger. Even Rubio admits Iran is not enriching uranium. There is time for diplomacy. This is a war of choice—and it’s a bad choice.

Trump's VA issued a policy to hurt vets whose medications are working. Veterans pushed back, and today the VA officially walked it back. This is what happens when veterans make their voices heard. This is what is looks like when we organize—not agonize.
VA files notice to immediately revoke disability rating rule after backlash from veterans By LINDA F. HERSEY STARS AND STRIPES • February 26, 2026

DOD is still coercing Anthropic to allow its AI model to be used for mass surveillance and autonomous warfare. Imagine what they have planned. This can’t happen.
Screenshot of headline that reads, “Anthropic says Pentagon's ‘final offer’ is unacceptable.” Full text linked in reply.
Trans people deserve IDs that reflect who they are. Bills like this undermine the basic rights of trans people and put them at risk of serious harm. No one can erase trans peoples' existence.

Trump says Iran is on the brink of getting a nuclear bomb to justify his aggression in the region. We've heard this before. Trump promised he’d keep us out of endless wars in the Middle East so if he doesn’t come to a deal, he risks exactly that. We need health care, not warfare.
Screenshot of headline that reads, "Iran enters critical nuclear talks with US insisting deal is within reach. Tehran insists deal is possible if Trump abides by preconditions agreed with Witkoff and Kushner." Full text linked in reply.
I wrote to the Administration six months ago urging them to do refunds ‘the easy way’. But if there’s one thing Trump loves more than tariffs, it’s being sued. Small businesses need their money back now. No more delays. No more pain on Main Street.
Screenshot of headline that reads, "Opinion: Editorial Board: Tariff refunds are the only way. The government can do this the easy way or the hard way, but the stolen money needs to be returned." Full text linked in reply.
The Trump administration is reportedly coercing unaccompanied immigrant children to self-deport, including through fear and threats. These cruel attacks on children are reprehensible and they must end.
BLOCKED. A Massachusetts federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to halt its illegal and aggressive third-country deportations. It is inhumane for the Administration to send immigrants, without a shred of due process, to countries where they lack ties and may face torture or persecution.
Screenshot of headline that reads “A judge finds the Trump administration’s third-country deportations unlawful.” Full text linked in reply.
The public deserves to know that these so-called self-driving cars rely on human operators thousands of miles away. I won’t stand by while large tech companies experiment on public roads. That’s not standing in the way of progress; that’s standing up for transparency and safety.
