For the first time in decades, I handed my successor an air traffic controller workforce that was growing instead of shrinking.
Disturbingly, the Trump administration can't or won't say whether that’s still the case.

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

The Republican chairs of both the House and Senate Armed Services committees signed a letter yesterday stating that they requested specific info many weeks ago on these strikes and the WH & Pentagon have refused to provide it. If the story is fake news, then turn everything over.

Translation: Pete may well go down for this. But I’m not going with him.
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.
KARL: Did you know about the judge's order when you issued your order for the planes to continue?
KRISTI NOEM: This is an activist judge. We comply with all federal orders that are lawful and binding.

Part of why Trump won in 2016 was he was an "outsider" who promised to "end corruption." He did not end corruption, he is a big "to the victor belongs the spoils of the enemy" guy. He's a spoiled and corrupt person, who has spoiled and corrupted his party and government. That story sells itself.
The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.
Run on *that*

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

I’d think what you’d want during a highly volatile, politically polarized time marked by violence is a president who can appeal to our common values and humanity and inspire calm and unity, rather than promising revenge.

The president of the U.S. appears to be improving his own health through access to great medical care and great medical science. That's what he gets. Simultaneously, his administration is doing so much to hurt regular Americans' opportunity to achieve those same good health outcomes the same way.

The Library of Congress is a repository library, meaning that EVERY book and many other journals and publications published in the U.S. are put there. EVERY BOOK! She didn't SELECT them, you ignorant, racist twats.
Reporter: The president fired the Librarian of Congress. Why?
Leavitt: There were quite concerning things she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children.

Donald "No Responsibility" Trump is trying to blame Biden and Pete Buttigieg for current air traffic control problems.
Meanwhile, back in the real world . . . Republicans in Congress REFUSED Buttigieg’s call for funding more air traffic controllers. And Trump/DOGE then stepped in and fired many.
