Duffy’s full of it. Pete Buttigieg and Dems pushed to modernize our air traffic control system under Biden—Republicans in Congress blocked it.
The Trump administration’s been too busy blaming DEI instead of fixing the real problems.

Why more Democrats don’t just say normal stuff like this I’ll never understand. It isn’t that hard.
Beshear: When I vetoed the nastiest anti-LGBTQ+ bill during my election year, I explained why I did it. My faith teaches me that all children are children of God. I wanted those children, who were being hated on, to know their governor cares for them… my faith tells me that’s my job

It’s the 62nd anniversary of Gideon v. Wainwright, a case in which SCOTUS ruled that states must provide legal counsel to indigent defendants.
To all public defenders: Thank you for your important, grueling, and often thankless work to protect the rights of the accused.
