What a piece of shit

As a retired airline Captain I flew into LGA and NY airspace hundreds of times. It is some of the world’s busiest airspace. To have only one ATC in the tower at LGA is criminal negligance. Not only is the airspace crowded and chaotic, so are the ground operations. Sean Duffy’s FAA owns this 100%

So I went to the NYT website to read about what’s happening in Cuba. There was nothing about it at all so I guess everything’s ok. Nothing to see here! JFC.

Most media won’t say this, but I will: Donald Trump is actively manipulating the stock market and the oil market with his statements on Iran.

It should be called out.

Since I’m independent, I can say it. Join me: aaronparnas.substack.com

Just chaos, every fucking day. Tomorrow, the airports. JFC what’s next?

My daughter is supposed to fly CLT-LGA next week. I’m leaning no on the big school trip thank you

Robert S. Mueller III, 81, Dies; Rebuilt F.B.I. and Led Trump Inquiry

Trump’s repugnant reaction should not be the third paragraph of this fine man’s obituary. It should be in a separate story about how a profoundly vicious and despicable person is the president of the United States. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/21/u...

“On learning of it on Saturday, [Trump] posted on Truth Social: “Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!””

It's not just oil. Here comes Hormuz inflation. Garden supplies, birthday balloons and semiconductors could get hit by price inflation or shortages.

The war with Iran is driving up more than gasoline prices. It is beginning to hit semiconductors, medical imaging, backyard gardens, and even children’s party balloons. That’s because Hormuz is also a major shipping route for helium and fertilizer.

Fertilizer shortages will also raise food prices.

It’s Congress’s constitutional duty to answer the public. And it’s the press’s duty not to cover up when a member is unable to do so, even with appropriate disability accommodations. TikTok video by Desirée Townsend

Fantastic ad!

To my fellow Virginians, you must vote for the redistricting referendum. Democrats follow the rules and worry about norms but Republicans never follow the law and change rules to suit them. If we don't pass this measure, Trump will retain Congress & this country is doomed.

Trump says he won’t sign any other bills until the SAVE Act is passed, which requires voters to show proof of citizenship with expensive documents like passports.

Reminder: noncitizen voting is already illegal and incredibly rare. This is about voter suppression, plain and simple.

We need to elect more women.
