Last week, just days after his inauguration, Donald Trump eliminated the membership of a key committee that handles aviation security. And on Wednesday night, a passenger plane collided with a military helicopter in the Washington, D.C., area.

After tragedies like these, it’s typical for American presidents to address the grieving public. What’s not typical of presidents is to blame issues with, for example, the Federal Aviation Administration on disabled people and people of color.
Trump responds to Washington plane crash with racist, ableist diatribe
The president used the tragedy, which killed 67, to deliver a bigoted and self-promoting tirade about DEI.

Watching these red states attack federal funding—apparently not realizing that most of their states are broke and would completely collapse without it—will always be hilarious to me.

Kansas is experiencing the largest tuberculosis outbreak ever recorded. It’s unfortunate we don’t have a government agency actively communicating with the public about it, offering guidance on how to protect their loved ones.
