I’m at the ATL airport and my @Delta flight has been continuously delayed because they can’t find another pilot. It’s midnight and they don’t know when or if they’ll find another pilot but won’t give out hotel vouchers until the flight is cancelled, which they can’t say when that’ll happen. This is a hot mess for Americans.
One of them just said, “pick another flight…pick another transportation secretary.” 🤷🏾♂️

Democrats, we won the majority. But we still need to win the trust of the American people. We can’t return to the status quo.

The FAA literally grounded every flight in the US over a nationwide communications outage, and Uber’s immediate response is to charge stranded passengers $100–$200 just to go a few miles from the airport. Profiteering off a national travel crisis isn't "dynamic pricing." It's predatory.

My dad is sick. I need to go see him, and I am.
But only after rearranging a week of work did I realize how much I'd hesitated, subconsciously worrying about lost RVUs, patient complaints, satisfaction scores, and how canceled meetings would be perceived.
To be clear, my employer and colleagues have been nothing but supportive. Nobody made me feel I couldn't go. These pressures were already so deeply ingrained that I put them on myself without even realizing it.
And I'm fortunate. I have the flexibility and financial security to leave. What about someone working an hourly wage who simply can't afford to miss work, no matter how understanding their employer might be?
This goes far beyond medicine. We've built a work culture in America where putting our families first can feel like something we have to justify, even to ourselves.
Something is deeply broken about that.

Breaking - All flights nationwide have beengrounded - the #FAA is facing a computer outage.
Yet another major blow to incompetent Transportation Sect Mayor Pete and people who get important jobs with no experience to check some identity politics boxes.

Our health insurance premiums will increase by 27.5% next year, to $19,607/yr. (before going to the doctor).
The out-of-pocket maximum is increasing by 20%.
Same Plan ID.
Sustainable for a year? Maybe.
Sustainable for multiple years? Nope.

At mid-range cost estimates, funding Medicare for All takes about a 32% payroll tax. That's more than today's premiums for:
Young single, $50K: $16,000 vs $9,325
Family, $100K: $32,000 vs $26,993
Family, $300K: $96,000 vs $26,993
And there's no opt-out.
You should realize that the Medicare for all bill is different than existing Medicare and would eliminate those premiums and deductibles. And that the rise in taxes will cost less than what most people will save on their premiums.
