During his press conference about the American Airlines plane and helicopter crash, Donald Trump has the audacity to say he "put safety first" when he put a hiring freeze on air traffic controllers and illegally got rid of the congressional committee for aviation safety.

This man is vile.

The guardrails to protect people and our democracy is us! And our elected leaders who care about us. We aren’t done fighting and the author of the plan, Project 2025, that brought us all that pain, must go!
Americans fought back, and Donald Trump backed off.

Now Donald Trump needs to rescind Russell Vought’s nomination.

Senator Dick Durban to Kash Patel:

"With all due respect, Mr. Patel, I've not worn the uniform of this country and neither have you. To think that you would denigrate Bob Mueller's service to our country and call him a 'swamp creature' is an indication of the depths your political views take you."

Don't conflate "wildly corrupt kleptocracy" with "conservative government. Ron DeSantis runs the former.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) wants to make ballot initiatives impossible.

FL already requires 60% support to pass—abortion rights & legal weed failed despite 56-57% support in 2024.

Last decade, voters passed amendments to end gerrymandering & restore voting rights, which DeSantis also undermined
DeSantis' proposals for Florida’s ballot initiative process could effectively end it
The governor’s proposals include eliminating signature gathering as it exists now.
