So we're all positive after the Blue Tsunami, but it's important to focus on the FAA Disaster delivered by Trump and the GOP. Sean Duffy doesn't take responsibility. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/transportation-secretary-apologize-nationwide-ground-stop-airports-rcna609397 Deeply Weird Mike Johnson says we don't need to investigate the collapse of US air travel. https://thehill.com/policy/transportation/6220851-mike-johnson-faa-ground-stop/ L3Harris may have been the consulting company behind the outage. But we need a vacation. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/11/14/us/l3harris-ground-stop.html Past article reminder - Sean Duffy's son-in-law got donations from his connections. https://newrepublic.com/post/215585/donors-transportation-secretary-sean-duffy-son-in-law?shem=aimgspe If you've got holiday travel plans, have a backup. Trump and the GOP have messed things up that bad. #uspol #faa #faaoutage #l3harris #seanduffy

US air traffic controllers aren't buying the administration's explanation for the largest ground stop since 9/11: ‘Duffy Lied’: Air Traffic Controllers Refute Trump Transportation Secretary’s Ground Stop Explanation “I’ve spoken with 60 air traffic controllers tonight about what Sean Duffy said at the White House today,” said one journalist. “None of them are buying what he said.” https://www.commondreams.org/news/duffy-ground-stop-explanation #uspol

RE: https://mastodon.world/@BrianJopek/117617769505609214 Ms Ruby Bridges is 72 years old. she and her history of desegregation are part of YOUR lifetime. #racism #fascism #USpol
Quoting
14 November, 1960 - six year old Ruby Bridges became the first Black student to integrate William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her path was met with hostility and hatred, yet she continued forward with courage and determination. Ruby’s story reminds us that the pursuit of justice has never been limited by age. Her bravery helped open doors for generations of children who deserved the opportunity to learn without the barriers of segregation. - The King Center #CivilRights

Crypto and AI super PACs spent $250 million on the midterms. In the races where their money could actually make a difference, nearly two-thirds of it backed candidates who lost. You wouldn’t know it from what the industries are saying.

Fairshake is touting a 92% win rate. But this is only because it bet on 74 nearly guaranteed wins — out of the 18 competitive seats Fairshake spent in, its candidate won just 8. About half of its $155 million in spending backed losers. The biggest loss was crypto’s unsuccessful $64 million in spending to keep Sherrod Brown out of the Senate. Brown may now chair the Senate Agriculture Committee, which oversees the CFTC: the regulator crypto has spent years trying to put in charge of itself. #crypto #cryptocurrency #USpolitics #USpol #CitationNeededNewsletter
