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.

Hard to image any actual company that would see no consequences at all for failing "seven straight audits."
Sure seems like this is where DOGE should have been focusing their efforts, rather than disbanding critical much-lower-spend programs that saved lives and improved health.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

It's not a question of politics or party. Congress has a constitutional obligation to impeach and to remove a president who commits high crimes and misdemeanors and forsakes his solemn oath.
And there has never been a president who has committed as many impeachable offenses than this one.
And there has never been a president who has committed as many impeachable offenses than this one.
There's a Hill bubble narrative, posing as savvy realism, in treating impeachment as some radioactive poison and so Democrats must squash any talk of it. But there's zero evidence for that. No polls back it up, nor recent history. It's all just pundit-brained conventional wisdom eating its own tail.
