Trump destroyed his own honeymoon.

Not even the media's relentless effort to sane wash him can help him now that he has the blood of those passengers on his hands. And so many were so young.

Politics girl was right. How many people want to get on board a passenger plane knowing what Trump is doing to the Federal employees who we trust to keep us safe? Why would we expect him to fill those positions with competent people, if he's appointing incompetent people to the highest levels of government?

And, for God's sake, how do you allow someone like Elon Musk to get access to computers to alter them to mass mail resignation letters?

Time for someone to use our laws and Constitutional separation of powers to put an end to this idiocy.

When he was talking about how he would put the very best people in not this DEI stuff. They seem to miss the point that to even get those jobs you have to have the training rather you are female, black, Hispanic or whatever.

Yeah right, we see his "very best" like RFK and the rest of the clowns he's nominated.

Musk and the Heritage Foundation (Koch Network) are driving the bus. Fueled by unlimited money. Nothing on the horizon is going to get in their way. The DOJ is the Gestapo.

The normalization doesn't stop with the media. Certainly, they are bad enough but there are those existing in government that have wanted to "burn it all down" for some time now. They just have not had a really good chance, until now. I know that you know that. ❤️

Musk is a security risk and we all pay the price and the worst from Musk is yet to come.

To many Americans are all in on Trump.

your GOP Senators and Represenative.

Just start with your concern for their safety flying to and from D.C. and home.

Then hit them with them the events of the first 9 days of this administration.
Lastly include what happened at the San Carlos airport in California. It is very important during fire season, which seems to be year round.

No name calling just the facts (and your deep concern.)
