The airport perks for Congress may be drying up, not a minute too soon Delta Airlines suspends its special congressional service, while a Senate bill could end the line-skipping perk for members of Congress.

BREAKING: Delta is suspending its special service desk for members of Congress until TSA is fully funded, per @ajc.com.

Delta says members of Congress will now be treated like all other flying customers.

@dianapho.bsky.social on developing a critical reading mindset: "Learn to read both within and outside yourself. Even as I'm sitting in discomfort, what does the text say? If I'm feeling great joy, why am I joyous? If I'm confused, what don't I fully understand? #Sirens26

Judge ends asylum claims for Liam Conejo Ramos and his family, orders family's removal The family’s lawyers plan to appeal the judge’s decision to deport the family to Ecuador.

Liam Ramos, the boy in the blue bunny hat, was used as bait by ICE.

He was kidnapped & thrown in the Dilley camp where his health immediately declined.

Public pressure got him released.

He became a symbol of resistance.

So the regime stripped his asylum status.

They’re quashing all hope:

Penguin Random House decided to shut down Dial Books for Young Readers and fire my editor, who shepharded "Too Bright To See" and "I'm Sorry You Got Mad" into the world. Devastated and gutted isn't half of what I'm feeling.
