No Dem needs more information on anything. Trump is the plane crash president and he responds to plane crashes by firing the rare people who keep safety systems running. Trump wants you to die in plane crashes

Another week, another airline crash. Aviation has a BIG safety problem. How is Trump responding? By firing FAA workers! That's ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. Trump and Musk are directly jeopardizing Americans' safety. They must be stopped. Congress and the courts must act to protect the flying public.

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I am the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

And for the third straight day, the rest of the legacy media did nothing to stand up for the First Amendment. No boycott, no walkout, nothing but business as usual. Then, they wonder why people are canceling subscriptions and turning off their TV's while independent news outlets are thriving.

Ignore the media headlines reporting that freezing federal spending or shuttering federal agencies “raise questions” or “push boundaries.” It’s an anticonstitutional lawbreaking spree.

It is notable that Big Law is completely absent from the legal fights to protect democracy. In 2017, they bragged about their pro bono work for the resistance. Now, they are silent -presumably cowering in fear of Trump and Musk. Support the non-profit law orgs and small firms doing this hard work.
