In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Air travel has traditionally been the safest way to travel, but the number of crashes and incidents in the last weeks needs serious investigation and oversight.
What we should not be doing is firing skilled FAA technicians and staff – we need to hire MORE of them.

NEW: After some agencies tempered the language of the DEIA snitch email, OPM is now testing a government wide distribution system so they can circumvent agency chiefs and threaten employees directly. They had to send a 2nd email assuring folks the first wasn’t a phishing scam.

I spent a decade on and off reporting on one of the executive orders that Trump revoked on Tuesday: Executive Order 11246, signed by LBJ in 1965.
Because of that, I took a minute and wrote down some thoughts to explain just how awful this is — and how ahistorical Trump’s claims are.

I mean, the Republicans have made it clear, telegraphing it through their accusations, that elections will be prevented from going against them. Acting differently is contra-factual, at this point.
But, even so, what's the use of giving our votes as cover to a (D) party working against us?
