This is a valid response, if you think back, the issues with flying & airport safety & the FAA didn’t start till the Trump administration took over, and they immediately started making cuts to the agency’s workforce, follows the same strategy of creating an emergency so they can pretend to solve it!

Several weeks ago, four of five STEM programs that make up the NIH-funded Deaf Scientists Pipeline in Rochester, NY were cut (the fifth is expected to be cut too). A PhD student made the below infographic to visualize what these cuts mean as a catastrophic generational loss for #Deaf science

And he's still going! Thank you, Senator Booker! ✊🏼 Somebody in Congress is finally taking a stand on the Senate floor! Another congressperson should be ready to relieve him when he gets too tired to continue and keep filibustering these assholes. Is that a thing? Can we make it a thing?

Comment from OP: Could it be the 2 most powerful men in the administration are both draft avoiders? Trump had "bone spurs" & Musk migrated to Canada to avoid the draft in South Africa that existed at the time. Interestingly the draft in S Africa only applied to white men. Many veterans fell for it.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.
