"Monday was a window into the world dictators want to see, with a public intimidated by armed men in airports and too demoralized to fight blatant corruption, amid a race to extract every last dime as America becomes just another failing Trump casino."

This flurry of what seems to have been insider trading occurred right before Trump made an announcement about bogus peace talks with Iran. "While the Wall Street grifters were still counting their dollar bills, the sun rose over Phoenix and pummeled the Arizona desert with record March heat for a sixth straight day."

The LaGuardia crash had everything to do with the mess Trump and Republicans have made of air travel and TSA. On the same day, Trump sent ICE agents to airports throughout the country. The day began with a sudden surge of $580 million in bets that the price of crude would fall and of $2 billion in bets that the stock market would rise.

"This was morning in Trump’s America — from waking up to the jarring news of the jetliner crash to a daylong series of aftershocks, with much of the anxiety induced by the unsteadiness of the man at the top."
What happened on that day? A plane crash at LaGuardia with two deaths and multiple injuries…. (continued in /3)

"If any one day could define the hazy transition from slow to rapid decay — 24 hours that truly defined the decline of the American empire from its pedestal as a global superpower — it would have to be March 23."

One crazy day that defined the decline and fall of the American empire
Over 24 hours, a deadly jet crash, militarized airports, insider trading, and a killer heat wave define a nation in rapid decline.Will Bunch (The Philadelphia Inquirer)
"While speaking from the CPAC stage Friday in Grapevine, Texas, American Conservative Union chairman Matt Schlapp asked a question he apparently thought would hype up the crowd.
'How many of you would like to see impeachment hearings?'
The crowd erupted in cheers.
'No,' Schlapp responded, shaking his head. 'That was the wrong answer. Let me try it again.'"

"Attendees at the 2026 Conservation Political Action Conference seem to be dazed and confused after a disastrously chaotic month for President Donald Trump. In the last 30 days, he has started a war in the Middle East, deployed federal agents to airports, and refused to end the partial government shutdown."

"The barriers between Trump and information awareness, in other words, remain strong. But with his approval ratings tanking, the economy cratering, and the undistilled chaos of his presidency spreading, Republicans might rue the day Trump decided to send a potent reminder to your local airport about how he's making everything suck."
"The origin story of the plan to send Immigration and Customs Enforcement thugs to the airport truly is nutty. As CNN reported, this all began when 'Linda from Arizona' called in to The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show last week to make her pitch: 'I think I have a solution to the TSA problem.' She said, 'We need to bring in ICE agents.'"

"It’s so obvious that Republicans are terrified of the absolute devastation they’re facing in this election, if they feel like they have to literally physically scare voters away from the polls.
Then there’s the fact that this isn’t just about ending the stalemate over funding and ending the DHS shutdown."

"First you had these masked idiots terrorizing Americans in the streets. Then you send them to the airports, to make the already stressful process of making a flight on time even worse. The end goal is apparently to take all the skills they’ve mastered and apply them to the midterms."

Robert Reich enumerates Trump's air travel challenges:
1. Lines are getting longer at airports.
2. Air-traffic controllers are way understaffed and underpaid.
3. Ticket prices are soaring and flights are being cancelled because the cost of jet fuel is soaring.
"If there is any Trump government run spectacle more absurd than long, shuffling lines of citizens surrendering their belts, phones, and carry-ons to a rubber bin, it is the ignorant and simplistic belief that such a security spectacle can be improved by the addition of ICE agents."
