Trump froze air traffic control hirings when they had a deficit of 3000+. Two people were handling the job of 4. Hmmm. I wonder if that could've been the problem?🤔 #AmericanEagle5342 #Trumpchaos

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

alternatively you could say what i said: "we will primary the shit out of you and make sure you no longer represent Minnesota if you compromise with Republicans on this blatant bigotry."
if your senator's a democrat, try the script below. it’s got a bail out written in. play with it. you’ll get an intern. be polite.
no dem cosponsors so far. but dems often cast cowardly votes & need to know it won't hurt them to stand with trans people. see ⬇️🧵

![Hi, my name is ___________ and I'm one of Senator ____________'s constituents. I need the Senator to commit to voting No on S-9, the "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act," and other anti-trans legislation on the way.
Trump's Executive Orders made it clear none of this is about protecting women. And no compromise on trans rights will make Republicans stop attacking.
Voters respond when Democrats fight injustice. Bipartisanship isn't what at-risk people need or what the base wants, and it didn't help Democrats win 2024 elections.
[you can stop here at 0:30 if you want to bail out]
If Senate Democrats stand together, Republicans can't pass this law and others like them. Executive Orders are easily overturned.
Tell Senator _____________ to vote No on S-9. If not for trans people, then because voters show up for Democrats who stand for something. Thank you.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2lzahebnas6od6j6jfydwst7/bafkreials44fzmw62qq7ltffcq5fmlhiuhkc6ngmxcxtlqmt4vpruemioa@jpeg)
