This isn’t DEI—it’s deadly short staffing. NEW: An FAA report says one air traffic controller was working two positions during the crash. “The position configuration was not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic.” Lives are at stake, and they know it.

True. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

"...you're talking about extremely complex things...if they don't have a great brain, a great powerful brain, they're not going to know what to do and bad things can happen..." - Man whose greatest intellectual accomplishment was passing a dementia test aced by a gorilla.

The truth!!

BREAKING: AOC blames crash on Trump / Elon “I represent LGA Airport as well as workers for JFK. Trump gutted the Aviation Safety committee last week. Air traffic controllers, already understaffed, got Trump’s “buyout” this wk with a 1 wk ultimatum to decide. It’s not DEI - it’s him. And Elon too.”

It’s beyond disgusting. 🤬🤬🤬

Bodies are still being pulled from the Potomac. The President and extreme MAGA Republicans are blaming women and people of color for the deadly plane crash. At the same time, they are dismantling the Federal Aviation Administration as we know it. Disgusting.

This makes me miss President Obama.

Here's a clip from 2009, when President Obama spoke about the Continental Airlines crash -- the LAST time we had an airline crash with fatalities in America. He didn't blame Bush. He didn't blame Reagan. He just consoled America. A REAL Commander in Chief.

Anyone who has ever been in the military knows that if it happens on your watch, you own it. It was YOUR responsibility. No Commanding Officer wants to hear jack shit about what the guy on the watch before you did if the event in question happened on YOUR watch. So, thank you, DJT, for $7 a dz eggs.

Such an important point… “The country has been hardened by a nine-year deliberate campaign of dehumanization.” — @NicolleDWallace We didn’t get here overnight. This wasn’t a quick process.

The media doesn’t tell the whole story anymore. One reason I don’t watch any of it any more.

Jon Cooper@joncooper-us.bsky.social

The media has failed the public on a crucial matter: the derangement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Often he is described in news reports as a vaccine skeptic, when he is far more than that. He is an extreme vaccine opponent.

Not one word from him about the lives lost. That should tell us everything.

Without a shred of evidence, Trump has immediately seized the opportunity to politicize an American tragedy. Less than 24 hours after the deadly mid-air collision in DC, Trump blasted and blamed DEI at the FAA and Department of Transportation, along with diversity goals set by…

Totally agree

Andrew Weinstein@andrewjweinstein.com

It’s far too soon to ascribe responsibility for the horrific DC plane collision, but it’s not too soon to say that dismantling the safeguards afforded by a functioning federal government put us at significant risk. And it’s irrefutable that, since January 20th, we are all less safe.

Any US Senator who votes for Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr. or Kash Patel are betraying their oath of office to serve their constituents and uphold the Constitution.

The Lincoln Project@lincolnproject.us

A message to the US Senate: America is watching. Patel, Gabbard, and RFK are more than just unfit. They are a danger to our country, and to our people's safety. Use your vote to protect the people you represent. History will remember your choice.

Tragic. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I agree 💯%

FAA says a military helicopter collided with the American Airlines passenger jet from Wichita near DCA. There must be immediate hearings on how the federal government/Department of Defense allowed this to happen and if removal of safety protocols and recent personnel changes led to this incident.

Senator Maggie Hassan just asked RFK to define Medicare parts A B C and he couldn’t. Most of us on Medicare know that traditional Medicare are parts AB&D and part C is also known as Medicare advantage. He doesn’t even know that from the endless commercials even on Fox News. Absolutely UNQUALIFIED! 🤬

Congratulations!!
