Remember — Tulsi Gabbard was on a TSA watch list because of suspicious foreign travel, including to Syria and Russia.
Maybe — just maybe, hear me out here — the Director of National Intelligence should NOT be someone who made a TSA watch list for suspicious foreign travel.

This is how our government works now. Petty little man-child idiots making life and death decisions for us all. They need to be responsible for every single death.

To recap, Trump:
-Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence
-Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers
-Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee
-Blamed the DCA crash on DEI
This is disastrous leadership.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

On his second day in office, Trump summarily fired every member of the Aviation Security Advisory Committee as part of dismembering the Department of Homeland Security.
Maybe it was just more convenient to blame DEI without any evidence.
