So we're all positive after the Blue Tsunami, but it's important to focus on the FAA Disaster delivered by Trump and the GOP. Sean Duffy doesn't take responsibility. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/transportation-secretary-apologize-nationwide-ground-stop-airports-rcna609397 Deeply Weird Mike Johnson says we don't need to investigate the collapse of US air travel. https://thehill.com/policy/transportation/6220851-mike-johnson-faa-ground-stop/ L3Harris may have been the consulting company behind the outage. But we need a vacation. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/11/14/us/l3harris-ground-stop.html Past article reminder - Sean Duffy's son-in-law got donations from his connections. https://newrepublic.com/post/215585/donors-transportation-secretary-sean-duffy-son-in-law?shem=aimgspe If you've got holiday travel plans, have a backup. Trump and the GOP have messed things up that bad. #uspol #faa #faaoutage #l3harris #seanduffy

US air traffic controllers aren't buying the administration's explanation for the largest ground stop since 9/11: ‘Duffy Lied’: Air Traffic Controllers Refute Trump Transportation Secretary’s Ground Stop Explanation “I’ve spoken with 60 air traffic controllers tonight about what Sean Duffy said at the White House today,” said one journalist. “None of them are buying what he said.” https://www.commondreams.org/news/duffy-ground-stop-explanation #uspol

Looks like we’re on the cusp of having 55 Democratic Senators. What? No no, not a mistake, I meant 55. I’m not counting Fetterman. #uspol

Oh my God, I didn’t hear that Trump had endorsed Schumer. Man, the kiss of death, the kiss of death https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xRI1zlcMqm4#uspol

10 Reasons Chuck Schumer Should Not Be Senate Majority Leader. He:

1. defends Israel

2. is hand in glove with Wall Street, corps, PACs

3. refuses Medicare for All

4. distains progressives

5. supports the MI Complex

6. won't dismantle ICE

7. voted for the Iraq War

8. opposed Obama's Iran nuclear agreement

9. gives in to Trump

10. won't fight corporate-power driven inequality & environmental destruction

Sorry to bring bad news, but the Trump administration and the GOP are still screwing up. We just had the entire country's air travel grind to a halt thanks to a snafu. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/faa-issues-nationwide-ground-stop/?ftag=CNM-00-10aab7e&linkId=1037112211 It's going to last for days. https://apnews.com/article/ground-stop-flights-airlines-cancellations-faa-1fbf4992f0ddaa4c463b0e4990b6e291 Sean Duffy and Mullin need to be investigated. And probably impeached, but you knew the latter. Oh and Canada, the country the GOP loves to hate, helped us out. https://www.tickaroo.com/e/H3r28bBYnTzHIYF1 #faa #airtravel #gopcorruption #uspol #democracy

Crypto and AI super PACs spent $250 million on the midterms. In the races where their money could actually make a difference, nearly two-thirds of it backed candidates who lost. You wouldn’t know it from what the industries are saying.

Fairshake is touting a 92% win rate. But this is only because it bet on 74 nearly guaranteed wins — out of the 18 competitive seats Fairshake spent in, its candidate won just 8. About half of its $155 million in spending backed losers. The biggest loss was crypto’s unsuccessful $64 million in spending to keep Sherrod Brown out of the Senate. Brown may now chair the Senate Agriculture Committee, which oversees the CFTC: the regulator crypto has spent years trying to put in charge of itself. #crypto #cryptocurrency #USpolitics #USpol #CitationNeededNewsletter

Maybe the crypto PACs will chalk up their losses to the Democratic wave. But they made little effort to hedge against it — 3/4 of crypto’s spending backed Republicans, and most Democratic spending was in primaries. #crypto #cryptocurrency #USpolitics #USpol #CitationNeededNewsletter

OpenAI- and a16z-linked Leading the Future spent $8.2M defeating “AI safety” candidate Alex Bores in NY-12, only for him to lose to a candidate with a similar platform. Backlash from AI’s intervention in that race was likely why they backed off in the general election. On the other side was the Anthropic-linked “AI safety” Public First PAC network, which claimed a “crushing blow” to the “anti-regulation” PACs. But of the $29.2 million they spent, only about $10.9 million ended up helping winning candidates (37%). #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #USpolitics #USpol #CitationNeededNewsletter
