The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.
Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.
Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.
Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

I’m not surprised that they caved, but I am surprised that they waited until after gaining electoral momentum to do it.

Even if poor Americans are starving, they should at least take some comfort from the fact that the Supreme Court justices who are allowing them to starve have very impressive, academic credentials.

This is another reminder of how crucial it is to vote up AND down the ballot.
While not receiving much attention in the media, down-ballot positions are a critical line of defense against Trump-MAGA extremism.
Remember this as we head into an important election year in 2026.

1. JD Vance dismissed Tuesday's election as “a couple of elections in blue states.”
But there were significant contests around the country, including in purple and red states.
From coast to coast, voters rejected the MAGA agenda.
Let's review.

"Let me be clear: The president has both the funding and the authority to fund SNAP during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.”

It got drowned out in all the good news from last night, but Boston Mayor Michelle Wu became the youngest person to be reelected in the city's history.
She ran unopposed because her opponent--Patriots owner Bob Kraft's son--withdrew a few months ago after realizing he had no hope of winning.

Oh, you simple-minded, wheezing gargoyle . . . you were very much on the ballot. You are blamed for the shutdown. You are blamed from SNAP shutting down. You are blamed for a bad economy. And numerous people interviewed last night mentioned that seeing the East Wing destroyed motivated them to vote.
