We cats are super-glad that we hadn't been planning to fly anywhere today. Being generally fastidious creatures, we don't handle chaos very well. Stoically facing long lines at check-in and successfully tracking down checked baggage are not among our skill sets. What a nightmare! — and not just for today. What does this mean for Thanksgiving 2026, or for aviation in general? Not very reassuring!
But believe it or not, there are other reasons to throw the Trumpsters in the trash today. It's only 10 days past the midterms, and we have three new issues to hammer the Republicans on for 2028:
Nvidia — Epstein pal Howard Lutnick is in the crosshairs. As Senator Adam Schiff has said, "Reports reveal he was integral to allowing advanced chips to be sold to China, undermining our national security, even with the knowledge that China was targeting NVIDIA's CEO. Lutnick should've resigned months ago. It's time for him to go." Expect this to be a big topic when Democrats get control of Congress on January 3.
Measles — The United States is on the brink of losing its measles elimination status after 25+ years. What a tragedy for American families. What an embarrassment for American public health.
Fallout from the FAA Ground Stop — Okay, apparently it's been lifted, but it will take the airlines a ton of time to catch up, logistically. As menswear expert Derek Guy observed, "Imagine taking Sean Duffy's advice and wearing a suit to the airport instead of comfy sweats, and then not being able to fly for an indefinite amount of time."
Today is just confirmation that the American people did the right thing last Tuesday by voting to reject the Trumpian tumult. People just want to know that stuff that they have always relied on to work still works. So this will not help the Republicans recover any credibility between now and January 3. (Plus, how exciting: Lauren Boebert has lost re-election!) We cats PURR and HISS at the same time.
