The FAA is understaffed and Donald Trump put a hiring freeze on them.

He has blood on his hands.

Thank God.

The leader of the so-called “Pro Life” party made the decision to freeze funding for life-saving programs and resources. Make it make sense.

The president can veto or support legislation. He can make recommendations to Congress. But he doesn't have the unilateral right to change laws.

Trump has very little respect for the rule of law & our Constitution. He is moving us toward authoritarianism.

We must stop him.

A Facebook friend of mine who voted for Trump posted on her story about how horrified she is about ICE interrogating people in her workplace (a hospital).

*sigh*

This would never come to fruition. Stuff like this is just their attempt to distract from the malfeasance of the Trump Administration. We cannot get distracted.
Here we go. Republican Congressman Andy Ogles has drafted a constitutional amendment to allow Donald Trump to be president for a third term.

MURKOWSKI comes out against Hegseth for DOD, first GOP opponent. "The leader of the Department of Defense must demonstrate and model the standards of behavior and character we expect of all servicemembers, and Mr. Hegseth’s nomination to the role poses significant concerns that I cannot overlook."

There are legitimate critiques of AOC on this or that issue from the left.

But really, if there were 100 more representatives like her in Congress, we’d be living in a very different country.

She represents what the Democratic Party must become.
AOC 🔥🔥🔥
