Having a moment at Atlanta airport I'm going to choose to interpret as "FUN."

Delta flight is delayed. Crew arrived late from another flight. Original departure time was 6:33pm.

That's some amazing gaslighting, Delta. Truly well done. Got me re-defining "on time" and doubting whether I was just REALLY early to the gate.

Serious question: Is there no one in the Admin talking to POTUS about the optics of embracing & laughing with authoritarian leaders?

If only for the fact that these photos entirely undo the impact of any firmer language by @[email protected] on democracy and justice.
