Dear @CNN and @MSNOWNews
180 Republicans voted against funding for airline safety including MarkWayne Mullin.

Most of you know that I oversaw the "aging, outdated system" at SSA for six years.
We made almost daily updates each night at 8pm and tested like crazy all night because even small changes would create problems in seemingly unrelated legacy software.
This risk is greater when the changes are infused with AI.
What you have here are inexperienced administrators who didn't understand their old technology & had too much confidence in their sexy new technology.
Their rollout last week was premature, and the country paid a horrible price for it.
I’m no IT expert, but how was this not anticipated? If the FAA is “patchworking” an aging, outdated system, identifying and preventing potential failures should be the bare minimum.
We’re talking about aviation safety and human lives, not some random project where you can afford to figure things out as you go.

Duffy is using scare tactics to get money to privatize the system. NOT A COINCIDENCE he did this before Thanksgiving. Page 662 Project 2025 is to privatize the FAA

Whoever produced this terrific music video deserves an award. The message is so spot on.
The singer certainly speaks for me — how about you?

Duffy and the Trump Administration are basically extorting us for billions of dollars.
That's what's happening right now.

Talking to a lot of air traffic controllers and folks at FAA. One thing I want to draw attention to… Duffy and Mullin said the failure happened as a result of updating old systems.
One controller put it this way: “He said they were updating equipment. They absolutely do not do that during the day. The do it mid weeks during the middle of the night when flights are at the lowest.”

We got so lucky this election. So many smart, empathetic, and passionate people were elected at every level of government. People who genuinely care about bringing us together and making things better. ❤️🤍💙
Governor-elect @RobSandIA: We start all our town halls the same way. I tell them that just to prove that Democrats and Republicans can work together, I ask everyone to sing America the Beautiful. Usually by the time that's over, you can find someone in the audience who's crying. It’s the first time that they can remember that they’ve been invited to know that they disagree with people, love them anyway, and work with them in person.

Dozens of countries across the globe guarantee their citizens universal health care. In America, we’re stuck paying some of the highest amounts for care that still leaves millions behind.
It’s time for us to change that and get to universal coverage.

JUST IN: Trump said Israel’s $3.8 BILLION in annual U.S. aid was DONE.
Now the two countries are haggling over a new $16.5 BILLION aid package through 2033.
@grok, start with TRUE/FALSE

As long as voters are smart enough to understand the LIMITS on getting things done with Trump still
in the White House, 2028 will be an even BETTER cycle for Democrats than 2026.
And 2029 will be a huge progressive leap forward!
