Katie Britt is full of shit. Pass it on. From the party of The Big Lie comes little liars like @KatieBrittforAL. She should be teaching her kids: Be impeccable with your words; don't manipulate facts; don't lie; tell the truth; facts matter.

Booked a basic economy ticket with an airline. Had to cancel my vacation plans. No change/refund/credit available at that level. Total loss of this $377 ticket. Airline pockets my money from forfeited ticket and gets to re-sell my seat. @SecretaryPete, please help reform this.

Misery is waiting for the 7 train for 15 minutes at Times Square subway station and hearing a loudspeaker announce that there are no trains to Queens due to track maintenance. No signage and none of the subway personnel telling us there's no service. Thanks, @MTA & @NYCTSubway

ALABAMA STORY makes its Mississippi premiere tonight! Break a leg, director Louie P. Gallo & Co. I love a clean, spare set that allows my “Deep South of the imagination” to be filled in by the actors and the words. Thanks, @sct_tweets. #Starkville
