Trump’s goal last night was distraction—because he knows he has failed to deliver for Americans. While I’ve been working to lower costs for families, he + his flunkies are trying to rip that help away. They’d rather punish those of us doing the work than actually serve the people. We won’t let them

I had the pleasure of hearing Dr. Quentin Morris present at Seattle 4 Rotary today. His organization, Key to Change, is doing remarkable work of drawing young students of color into music education and turning out musicians who are also community leaders.

Elon Musk pushed out the FAA chief — who resigned 1 year into a 5 year term, last week.
Why? Because last year the FAA fined SpaceX $600,000 — for safety violations.
Now the FAA has no chief — and we just had the first commercial airline crash in 16 years.
