I’m among the approximately 6 million Americans who are hoping to fly home to spend Thanksgiving with our families.
If my flight is canceled due to the shortage of air traffic controllers, it is 100% Trump’s fault and I’ll never forget that.

TAPPER: Do you have any numerical idea of how many Americans will not be able to be with their families for Thanksgiving because of this?
DUFFY: I think the number is going to be substantial

I have to say that Trump’s demolition of The East Wing has gotten to me. It symbolizes a deep sense of despair and dread that I have felt since the election.
He is a cheater unleashed. It doesn’t make any sense and nothing is the normal we used to know. Anyone I know who voted for this is evil.
