Trump's DOT has officially scrapped a Biden-era rule requiring airlines to pay passengers cash compensation when flight disruptions are caused by airlines. Flying already sucks — and Trump wants to make it suck even more. youtu.be/eTzaMXXelew?si=OghvJOMzUq2…

Since you are here to learn English... It should read "are paid" as you are using "senators." Your political questions would apply to either political party. As written, this implies an innocence of Trumpian Republicans that is not warranted.

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅ Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅ Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅ Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅ #Ugh🤢✅

Ah yes, air traffic controllers must show up for work without pay, but Congress can take the day off. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he’ll be making “necessary cuts” to the department, because nothing fixes staffing shortages quite like firing more people.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens. They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.
