If you've been frustrated with the lack of a coherent Democratic pushback against Benedict Donald and Project 2025, you're not alone. This week, Democratic governors told Chuck Schumer to get tougher. We agree. It's incomprehensible that our side can't seem to speak uniformly like the Republicans have done for years.
In fact, opposition to Trump has been pretty muted. We're all trying (in cat parlance) to land on our feet. But in the last day, maybe we're finally finding our voices and putting on some pressure. It's amazing what bottom-of-the-barrel behavior from Benedict Donald over Wednesday night's plane crash can accomplish. Here's a sampling.
Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg: "Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying.
"We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch. President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again."
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: "I represent LaGuardia 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 week with a one-week ultimatum to decide. It's not DEI — it's him. And Elon, too."
Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett: "This is truly like a real-life bad episode of The Apprentice, but honestly, he is the first one who should be fired. It is clear that he has no idea of how to do the job of President competently. I expect that his entire tenure will go something like this when things go bad: 'Biden, Biden, Biden, Obama, Biden, DEI, DEI, DEI, trans, immigrant, repeat.'"
