David this morning asking members to leave a 4- or 5-star review of the church on Google, "not a 1-star review." I'm not making that up, it's on video. youtube.com/live/1qjVN9ZrrxU…

Hegseth is too dumb to realize that the line he paraphrases (from Plutarch’s Life of Pompey) has since become a shorthand warning about how republics decline when powerful men stop feeling bound by law.

Duffy: One of the problems I have is I need more money to build a new telecom network.
Brennan: But respectfully, the American people have put a lot of money into infrastructure upgrades. In 2021, it was $25 billion for upgrades under Biden. Under your administration, the Trump administration, as you just said, $12.5 billion for upgrades.
Duffy: I can’t answer for other secretaries or other FAA administrators. A lot of money was given. Not a lot of work was done.
I have been reading up on Victory Outreach International lately, and literally not surprised. That's not actually the worst I have read about them. thejournal.ie/victory-outrea…

The 2026 midterm elections brought historic gains for LGBTQ+ representation across the country. According to the LGBTQ+ Victory Fund, 17 of its 18 endorsed candidates for federal office won, 7 new openly LGBTQ+ members were elected to Congress, and 206 endorsed candidates won state legislative seats. The elections also saw historic firsts, including the first out gay man elected to the U.S. Senate and the first openly transgender lawmakers elected in Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Washington and Wisconsin. Results reported as of November 6, with some races still being counted #NOH8

“Honestly, I’m thankful that I’m gay. It’s made me a better, more empathetic person.”
Professional beach volleyball player Alex Ukkelberg is sharing his coming-out story publicly, reflecting on the years it took to embrace both his sexuality and his identity as an athlete. He hopes his story can help others feel seen and remind young athletes they never have to give up one part of themselves to pursue another #NOH8

Hot take: Try reading the Constitution instead of just waving around a Bible.
Article VI explicitly prohibits religious tests for public office.
Public officials swear to uphold the Constitution, not Christianity. That's not an opinion. It's constitutional law.

CNN: We are told by a WH official that the president is receiving constant updates about the air traffic situation but he certainly has not come out publicly and said anything or posted anything on it. We're not expected to hear from the president again this evening

Move the ICE money.
It turns out the system meltdown had nothing to do with the budget, but still one solution to our aging critical networks is readily available. @CNN

Below is one of many messages I received from air traffic controllers in September claiming FAA leadership is downplaying a nationwide staffing shortage — and knowingly risking public safety.

She's not wrong...
Jan 11, 2023, when the FAA grounded all airplanes for 90 minutes for the second time in history, this is what Trump posted. He railed on our very serious American problems and compared our country to a Third World nation.
Yesterday under his own administration, his FAA grounded all airplanes for over four hours and he didn’t post anything on TruthSocial, did not address the nation while many people were freaking out, and he didn’t even show up at the press conference.
He’s been President for two years with full Republican control of the house and the Senate.
There are literally no excuses left.
But but but, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon!
