And there you have it
The US has lost its measles elimination status
It took 35 years to achieve
Undone by just 2 years of RFK Jr and MAHA
Absolutely pathetic

There's somehow enough funding to build his ballroom and statues, arches, monuments drenched in gold, but not enough to run the FAA.
America, you're being scammed by this administration.

The UN found that 459 of 564 schools in Gaza took a direct hits.
You don't accidentally bomb 459 schools.

President Biden's 2021 Infrastructure Bill allocated $25 billion for air travel, which included $5 billion for the FAA to upgrade its systems.
Are you aware of who voted against that legislation?
Indeed, it was Markwayne Mullin.

So let me get this straight. An A.I. startup gave to Sean Duffy’s son in law’s campaign for congress.
Then Sean Duffy and the FAA gave that same company a 12 year, $875M contract for their A.I. air traffic control system.
That same traffic system went live nationwide Nov. 10.
Three days later, the FAA had to ground all flights because the system failed.
Ok. Lock em all up.

Just a reminder: Chuck Schumer voted to confirm Sean Duffy as transportation secretary. Chris Van Hollen voted no.
Having pull-up bars in airports means you can stay fit while traveling.
You can challenge yourself, or better yet, challenge your friends & family during a layover. The downside is your daughter might beat you!
That happened today as me, my daughter, Paloma, @SecKennedy & @paulsaladinomd celebrated DOT grants to Make Travel Family Friendly Great Again!
Tell me how many pull-ups you can do.👇🏼

friendly reminder that in 2025 DOGE terminated roughly 400 FAA employees in roles that oversaw air traffic control, aviation safety assistance, safety specialist in IT roles, maintenance mechanics
Do with that information what you will
BREAKING: The FAA has ordered a nationwide ground stop, halting departures across the United States after radio frequency and radar outages affected several air traffic control centers and terminal facilities.
The stop applies to all centers and destinations and is expected to remain in effect until at least 5:00 PM Eastern. Earlier, flights were halted at Chicago’s O’Hare and Midway airports. The cause of the outages is not yet known.

There’s a palpable sense of dread surrounding AI —and it may not be misguided, says @Tyrangiel:
“We are not being real about what the next 18 months are.”
“There’s going to be stuff that doesn’t work that disrupts your daily lives — and that’s the best you can hope for.”

It's official: Chris Van Hollen is challenging Schumer for Senate Majority Leader.

Some facts:
1 - 84% of Democrats support Medicare for All - Schumer & Jeffries oppose
2 - 73% of Democrats want to abolish ICE- Schumer & Jeffries support ICE
3 - 72% of Democrats want to end or decrease aid to Israel - Schumer & Jeffries support more aid
Do we need these guys? NO

Resharing this wild clip from last year.
For years, Chuck Schumer's political compass was a fictional couple from Long Island who voted for Trump. Maybe it's time for Senate leadership that listens to actual voters?

Abdul El-Sayed absolutely destroys Donald Trump.
Q: You recently called President Trump the dumbest effing guy who ever was president.
AES: True.
Q: You've also said Democrats should drop the decorum and treat the president as the unserious fool that he is.
AES: True.
Q: Why are you taking that approach?
AES: Because he's a bully alongside being a narcissist. And the only way you deal with bullies is to stand up to them. Bullies don't bully you because they necessarily care for the thing you have. They bully you because they like to bully you because it makes them feel strong. And the way you take on a bully is to bully back. Because then they learn that this does not make them feel strong. It makes them feel weak and they don't like to feel weak. So they back off. And the more you let a bully get away with bullying, the more they signal to everybody else that this person cannot be stood up to. And so I think it's important for us to stand up to him.

Because you instructed 11 Democrats to miss the vote to impeach him, AIPAC bitch.
Why is Pete Hegseth still around?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Jeffries has called for Pete Hegseth to be removed but has NOT endorsed impeachment.
He discussed impeachment with the Democratic caucus but declined to commit to supporting it. The impeachment effort was advanced by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), not Jeffries.

The sheer arrogance of referring to the President of the United States as simply "Donald." Apparently, basic respect for the office is beneath you.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The @Breaking911 account has repeatedly and consistently referred to former President Biden as simply "Joe" during his presidency.
