This is a valid response, if you think back, the issues with flying & airport safety & the FAA didn’t start till the Trump administration took over, and they immediately started making cuts to the agency’s workforce, follows the same strategy of creating an emergency so they can pretend to solve it!

Remember this headline? ‘Trump begins firings of FAA staff just weeks after fatal DC plane crash’…
Impacted workers included personnel hired for FAA radar, landing & navigational aid maintenance.
The Trump administration is responsible for the current debacle!

And he's still going! Thank you, Senator Booker! ✊🏼

Somebody in Congress is finally taking a stand on the Senate floor!

Another congressperson should be ready to relieve him when he gets too tired to continue and keep filibustering these assholes. Is that a thing? Can we make it a thing?

A felony. I’d like someone to explain it as otherwise.
DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION:

My reporter Brett Murphy obtained a remarkable directive to folks at USAID: Empty the safes with the classified and personnel records and then,

"Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break."

A USDA spokesperson confirmed the program, feeding children, “no longer effectuate the goals of the agency.” As a retired teacher, I know children across the country will suffer because of this. I also know, the children in red states will suffer the most.

Comment from OP:
Could it be the 2 most powerful men in the administration are both draft avoiders? Trump had "bone spurs" & Musk migrated to Canada to avoid the draft in South Africa that existed at the time. Interestingly the draft in S Africa only applied to white men.

Many veterans fell for it.

There was only one person acting presidential in the Oval Office today: Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

He stood up to bullies in a Kremlin-style shakedown.

What will it take to awaken the conscience of the country after such a shameful display?
