I predict that a few of us will be making the “financial decision” to learn everything we can about the business interests of CBS, Paramount and Skydance in order to do everything we can to make sure that not a single dollar of ours goes to them ever again.

Integrity matters.

Pete, he's as incapable of leading as he is of taking responsibility.

Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg

Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch.
President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.

Trump fires heads off TSA, Coast Guard, and guts key aviation safety advisory committee

We used to all hold our breath hoping a shooter wasn’t a Muslim or a trans person.

Now we gotta worry if the air traffic controller was Black?!

Do you see how far they have moved the window?
