In 2024, Biden signed into law a $105 billion measure designed to end a shortfall in air traffic controllers. In 2025, Trump came in and instead began firing hundreds of them. So you can see how *clear* it is that Biden is to blame for the shortage now.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

For the umpteenth time: America is less safe & less secure bcuz of who we elected President. Today’s disaster is just the latest evidence. We elected someone who’s at war with the public servants charged with keeping us safe & secure. And America will pay a steep price for it.

Seeing as @petebuttigieg.bsky.social did not post this to his page here, and many users don’t use the app he posted to I feel the need to share his words here. He meets the moment with this reaction

Any member of the military who did what they did on signal would be kicked out or arrested.

Just a reminder: having a functional moral compass right now is going to make you feel bad all the time; don’t mistakenly hate yourself for that.

Seven Reasons Trump's Entire National Security Team Should Resign in Disgrace www.emptywheel.net/2025/03/25/s...

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

Reminder: if you predicted half the things happening now (threatening to take Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal; lawless mass firings; complete defiance of Congressional prerogatives; mass pardons of violent supporters) even a couple of years ago, Serious Thinkers would have dismissed you. /1

The spectacle of Vance and Trump yelling at Zelensky, including chiding him for not acting thankful—while they lied about the war and followed Russian talking points without question. I really am ashamed of my country and especially its leaders.

GOP reps love your vote, but not your voice. They’re dodging town halls faster than Trump dodged the draft. Demand answers! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/run-for-of...

Let's be very clear that Pete Hegseth absolutely has his job because he is a white man.

British take on the Trump/Putin talks about Ukraine.

Here’s a good model for responding to this dipshit’s letters:

Good news. Now maybe the attention can go back to being about what a phenomenal striker Jenni Hermoso is! www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Trump’s bold-faced lies take my breath away (yet again) www.nationalreview.com/the-morning-...

Before Hegseth has this taken down from the Defense Dept website… Item #1: “Feb. 24, 2022 Russia invades Ukraine.” www.defense.gov/Spotlights/S...

All this BS about the bloated bureaucracy. Look at the facts about the size of the federal workforce over time. wapo.st/3QfEUND

Gen Z's opinion of Trump has shifted dramatically in just 3 months; a massive negative shift of 37 points from +19 to -18. It's too bad it took implementing Project 2025 instead of just reading it or watching a video about it or listening to a podcast about it. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

RFK Jr. is now in charge of public health in America. God help us all

So . . . RJK, Jr. has been confirmed by the Senate. I.can’t.even . . .

How can DJT expect Jordan & Egypt to permanently relocate Palestinians from Gaza when all the US wants to do is deport refugees as undesirables? Not only that, but Egypt & Jordan will house them so nicely (says DJT) that they won’t want to live in Gaza? Of course, none of them can come HERE.

The entire contents of Waste.gov, the website tracking government "waste" are from a default WordPress theme about an imaginary architecture firm. Musk said yesterday DOGE is "maximally transparent" and all actions are being tracked on website: www.404media.co/elon-musks-w...

A coalition of news organizations said in a court filing that video exhibits from a Jan. 6 riot case had "disappeared" from a government platform that provided … Nothing to see here, folks . . . =(

The coup continues. “Judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power,” Vance wrote on X on Sunday morning.” www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Elon Musk is bashing any & all investigative reporters & news organizations who ever had a scintilla of association or funding from USAID. As we reported here- Tesla & SpaceX both had deals with USAID worth millions altogether. His hypocrisy knows no bounds. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

News flash, DJT: There’s no actual bias against Christianity here except YOUR bias against Christians who take the words of Jesus seriously (love God, love your neighbor, love your enemy, blessed are the peacemakers). Loss of preferred status isn’t bias. I say all this as a Christ follower.

With hospitalizations and at least nine confirmed cases, health officials race to contain a growing outbreak in a community with low vaccination. Hello?? Anybody listening?

Trump says he's firing Kennedy Center board of trustees members and naming himself chairman Gosh. Our Dear Leader is now a “patron” of the arts. Takeover at the Kennedy Center is one more authoritarian ego trip.

Federal workers: Here’s how to lock down your communications

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"
