"PHL Is the Lowest-Rated Large Airport in the U.S. for Sixth Straight Year" Congratulations @phlairport.bsky.social well deserved! I'm sure that $42 million spent on a new office building should fix TSA wait times! #avoidPHL #PHL #PhiladelphiaAirport share.inquirer.com/1e87h8

PHL ranked last among peer airports for the sixth straight year in a JD Power customer survey
The airport's aging infrastructure is holding it back.

Every now and then it's helpful to just stand back and acknowledge that the core Trumpist and Republican electoral strategy is to use every means possible to prevent American citizens from voting for who will represent them.

The legacy media sat there while Trump lied about the past elections and "joked" about running again in 2028. They did not boo. They did not walk out. They just sat there and ate their dinner. The journalists in that room will be remembered as the journalists in that room.

Every and any vote for Todd Blanche is a vote for grown men fucking underage girls with legal impunity. This is a sentence that contains no hyperbole and that is nonetheless shocking and debilitating to write. That's how depraved this administration is.

Whole chapter in J Weisberg's upcoming "Profiles in Cowardice" about many times Mitch M changed arc-of-history for the worse—worst of all by sinking post-Jan-6 impeachment vote. If Mitch is still reading papers, obits for Lindsey G give him a preview of how he'll be remembered. (See also: Roy Cohn)

A clean, cogent argument can be made that while there are a great many accomplices involved, three men are predominantly responsible for the end of the American Century and the collapse of our republic: Newt Gingrich, Rubert Murdoch and Mark Burnett. I'm not here to argue, only to mourn.
