She was 9 weeks pregnant. She died. The state of Georgia is making the doctors keep her alive to incubate the baby. She’s been dead for three months. This is REAL. this isn’t about what should or should not be done. This is about having a VOICE. This is about having a CHOICE.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.
Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.
Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.
See how this works?

Relevant History: The Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act of 1883 established the first comprehensive merit-based civil service system in the US.
It was intended to do away with "The Spoils System" whereby unqualified people got govt jobs for their political loyalty, a bad system we've returned to.

I just wanted to note for the record that we have a decorated Iraq war veteran who flew combat missions in a Blackhawk as sitting member of Congress! Who also happens to be a woman! And if you don’t know who Tammy Duckworth is, you’re in for a treat (complimentary).
