"DO SOMETHING". We can complain about what's going on until we are blue in the face or we can "DO SOMETHING". Writing to the Senators and Representatives in Congress seems to be useless.

Trump is the single most despicable person in politics today. And that’s the person Americans chose. To blame DEI and other false information for this tragedy is beneath anyone, yet alone the most powerful leader in the world. Everyday continues to set a new low in this presidency. How will we survive 4 years or if he has his way until his death of this? No idea!
Because we will survive. I am the daughter of a Holocaust survivor who just passed away at 101. We must be the collective “nay” just as Americans have done throughout my lifetime (Civil Rights, Viet Nam, Black Lives Matter). I’m not sitting around wringing my hands or incessantly posting Trump memes on Facebook, or preaching to the choir. Look for grassroots things you can do in your community and donate what you can to groups and organizations that you see actually doing something or making a difference. This is way more productive than preaching to the choir on Facebook imho. Stay strong.
I agree that we all need to act and not just panic and vent. I'm doting money to Democracy Forward, one of the groups of lawyers that is suing Trump incessantly since he took office on January 20th. Democracy Forward is a big part of why that awful freeze on federal spending was rescinded
As I said, Democracy Forward (and other lawyers they work with) stopped the Federal spending freeze. Maybe the difference is that he wasn't sued personally? It probably won't be the end of it, but it's a start. People calling their congresspeople didn't do that, on our own. If you have a better suggestion, pls share it. I will not just go on Substack and vent and take no action. I can't do that. The stakes are too high to do nothing.
It doesn't mean you stop trying to use the rule of law, the courts. The difference is he gets away with it without any push back and does even more damage. He must be called out and held accountable every time. There is no other choice.
The problem is that requires reporters and those in office to ask those questions and make sure they don't accept his mocking, rambling, off topic or misleading answers. So far I haven't seen anyone who can do that. But I agree we need to do both.
I have great respect for Public Citizen, and I have supported them for many years. But when they send petitions directed to Trump and other corrupt figures, it won't do any good. I understand they want to keep their organization's name in front of us, but lets get real.
Ellen, remember, only slightly over half Americans chose him, and I believe this disorganization and failure to be helpful in crises will eventually change the minds of many (not his base), who voted for him, and that will be his undoing.
I too feel this is the case. He PROMISED to bring down inflation immediately. Hasn't happened. He PROMISED to find a solution to Ukraine. That has not happened. All he has done is eliminate things, drop out of things, and caused great confusion. I think people are already having regrets. They shot themselves in the foot. Unfortunately, the whole country is bleeding because of their grave mistake. But I think there will be a backlash, and I'm hoping that it is soon.
It worked during the Civil Rights movement, the Women's movement and the Gay rights movements. March for our Lives has mobilized millions of young people to demand a future free of gun violence and has made a difference. Indivisible.org, now with local chapters in every state, has mobilized since 2017 and made a difference saving the ACA, stopping the Muslim ban and helping to elect anti maga in down ballot races in state and local elections. They helped flip 2 House seats in my county alone.
Viva la resistance! But it will be slow work. Patience and resolve are what we need to triumph over hedonism and greed. In the end Trump followers are lazy and not very bright,
The sad irony of this is that if you were to ask Trump what he really wants, and if he was willing to honestly answer the question, you know the answer would simply be “more”. He is the most powerful person in the world, and his goal is to amass even more than he already has. He wants to be worshipped like a good, and to wield godlike power.
The world’s only defense against this is to resist, and yet we have seen so much voluntary capitulation by people with actual power that we watch Trump’s power grow daily. What will they do when he is too powerful to check? Nothing short of a coup, an assassination or an invasion by a foreign government will put his power in check. Any of these would be incredibly damaging to all Americans, and would take decades, if not generation to recover from. It could easily change the world order and we would no longer be the most powerful nation in the world.
I wonder how many republicans senators who are praising clowns like Patel and JFK jr have thought about their legacy when history records the fall of the USA under their watch and their complicity in its demise. I know this sounds like doom and gloom, but every day we don’t fight back we inch closer to this inevitable end.
He may THINK he is the most powerful person in the world. Ever since Adam mentioned just how scared he seemed up close and personal (during a meeting in the Oval Office, I believe), I've held on to that. I believe it. Bullies tend not to show fear until they "have met their match." Put someone else up against the bully who refuses to back down, you will have a very scared little boy ready to wet his pants. And this is what needs to happen. I've often wondered just how often he's come close to doing this - metaphorically speaking - during his trials on the many crimes he pulled. No, he is naught but the proverbial man behind the green curtain.
Can't anyone encourage an handful of Republican Senators to save our country over their jobs? I understand how challenging it is to have the courage, raw courage to go against the tide...yet, those are the people history honors...so be honorable and follow Adam's lead.
Every one of these nominees should be looked at as Trump is sitting in their chair because they all take their marching orders from him. Since Trump is a Fascist, not one Dem. Senator should be voting for any of these nominees. No Nominee! No Votes! Period! We're talking about Fascist are we not.
"ALL HANDS ON DECK" All government agencies are being purged by Trump. Getting rid of the top and most experienced officers in all agencies including the Justice Dept., Pentagon, FBI, CIA, Homeland Security, Etc,Etc,Etc puts us and our families in extreme danger in every which way you could imagine. Get ready to fight for your safety and freedom!!!!
Marijane, see my post with the phone number of the Congressional offices. I called every (remotely sane) Republican and let them know that very thing. This MUST STOP for the sake of our country!
You yourself can, Marijane! Call the senate switchboard at (202)224-3121 and have them direct your call to a Senator. Speak to their aide or leave a message and respectfully ask them to consider voting no on some of these nominees because they aren't qualified.
Join next week's Country First Day of Action virtual meeting next week on February 6. You will learn how you can take action. It feels SO good to DO something!
Adam, I watched the press conference because it interrupted my television program. I understand how important it is for a President to address the nation during such a tragic event, he started off compassionate, and then it went off the rails as the press started to pepper him with questions. And honestly, the press did a good job, they asked probing questions and he had an opportunity to be a statesman, and he chose to sound like an ignorant fool. My mouth dropped when he said he knew the event was caused by DEI, and the reporter asked how he knew and he said "because I have common sense" ... honestly?? this is unacceptable. And one more remark, he does not look well!! not to be mean, but he looks haggard. But, I think that you had the same visceral reaction that the rest of us had.
Amazing that he (45) read his& prepared speech without compassion or empathy for anyone. As usual he then ranted and blamed the prior leadership -- off script as far as I could tell.
I hear more and more that he is merely the patsy for a take over from far more nefarious actors that will take his place and attempt to look like a savior to Americans. We (many of us) are so gullible and easily swayed.
If JD Vance takes his place, most likely he will be able to serve as President for greater than 12 years. What can save our Republic? Talking about it is great, but talk is cheap. Action now is what is needed. So what viable action can be done?
This is another word he and his minions are speaking now.at hearings and interviews. This must be part of the fascist playbook. "Commonsense". This is a way of normalizing the lies and cruelty. It's a complete cult. They are all brainwashed. I said somewhere else he's aging in dog years. In 10 days his hair and eyebrows have turned white.It's horrifying to hear any of these ignorant fools speak.
I can tell you that anyone with common sense wouldn't believe or propagate the absolute BS coming from trump and his trumplican supporters. Those people have absolutely NO common sense or interest in anything but their own bigoted viewpoint and delusional sense of superiority!
No. Just because many, most or all people agree on a specific "something" doesn't mean their belief in that "something" is based on Common Sense. Common Sense is a learned INDIVIDUAL trait based on critical thinking, life experience, observation, proof and facts. There are too many people today whose lack of common (not necessarily popular) sense has led them to collectively accept as truth anything that they are told, when facts clearly prove otherwise.
I laughed at his ignorance, but I couldn't understand why the Senators didn't chuckle at the absurdity. They must not be listening to the President anymore, or they're just not thinking.
Thanks Adam - the Christopher Rufo method is to link anything people do not like to Critical Race Theory. Trump is now doing it with DEI, even with an unspeakable tragedy. Quoting Kamala Harris at the Dem convention last year: in many ways, Donald Trump is an unserious man, but electing him will have serious consequences.
Thanks Adam for addressing this! I wanted to run my head through the wall yesterday, listening to Trump's horrifying, idiotic, completely false and misleading, inflammatory, tone-deaf, despicable, insulting and otherwise utterly tasteless comments yesterday. Just unbelieveable!! To spout this sort of nonsense is so incredibly wrong and dangerous... I don't see anyplace good that this is going to end. Thanks for letting all of us vent, and for also getting actual FACTS out there about that particular airspace, pilot and ATC skill sets, etc., so we can offset the idiocy!
Nola, have learned an important thing here and with Country First - as a decent person, if you keep listening to this fool he is so outrageous he gets inside your head. What I've really had to do is detach as much as I can, take him and his minions for who they are, and get on with the important work we are doing and must do to keep democracy.
I have to say, the DEI response was shocking. I tend to half tune him out if I get stuck seeing him. This was the meanest thing I’ve heard come out of his mouth. How does a person become this heartless?
Adam, it is that cruelty that I will never forget. It’s cruelty to just hurt people for revenge. It’s the lowest level a person can stoop to. Trump is that small, petty man. It’s sickening to watch.
I appreciate all you’ve doing. I am continually calling and writing to my senators, Thom Tills and Ted Budd. Tillis knows better, but goes on ahead to confirm the nominees.
It’s like a nightmare that you can’t run fast enough to get out of. I hope he keeps saying more stupid things and acting worse every day. I don’t know what it will take for the stupid GOP to put country first.
Appreciating sane, knowledgeable, flight experienced commentary. Adam ably, intelligently communicates with compassion. The idiot in the Oval Office sickens me each time he expounds as a differently-abled bully in the sandbox. Sanity needed. Capabilities appreciated. When will the public push back be sufficient so that the sycophants in congress will become fact-checking constitutional servants to democracy? Rhetorical but these are not only frightening times, they make me ill.
Thank you for your post. I had been waiting to hear from you, knowing this is an area you are very familiar with. And since it is my conclusion from hearing from you and others more familiar with air traffic control and with piloting, whatever human error that may have happened has nothing to do with standards of competence. And even more so with race being something that would compromise the standards of competence required.
31 Senate Democrats Vote to Advance Trump Nominee Who Sought To Invalidate the 2020 Election. We can always count on the Dems to resist. Wishful thinking!!! "We The People" are the only ones going to be fighting to get our Democracy back.
Yes, my state of Arizona sent Kirsten Sinema (I never supported her, I sussed her out even before my gullible liberal, largely women friends gushed about her fashion sense (Really?!!!) and sent her to DC. Don’t get fooled again.
When Trump blames DEI, he means that women, minorities, and individuals of other under-represented groups must be unqualified. It’s an openly racist statement endorsing discrimination against anyone other than white men. Please defend DEI. Casting the widest net for the best candidates is the way to get the most qualified employees.
Thank you, Adam, for your clear and honest voice as we grieve together for those who lost their lives in this tragic accident.
Well said--thanks!

WE gotta ace the midterms.
No, less than 50% voted for him. He beat Kamala Harris but he won by plurality. Not a mandate.
Bob I hope this is the case. It’s the only way forward.
He's the most despicable human being let alone President. Soulless!
Being part of the collective nay and working at the grassroots level doesn’t appear to be having an effect!! Doing my best to stay positive!
It takes perseverance and patience, so stay the course!

Absolutely need to be called out. Effective strategy.
This is another word he and his minions are speaking now.at hearings and interviews. This must be part of the fascist playbook. "Commonsense". This is a way of normalizing the lies and cruelty.

No. Just because many, most or all people agree on a specific "something" doesn't mean their belief in that "something" is based on Common Sense.

I appreciate all you’ve doing. I am continually calling and writing to my senators, Thom Tills and Ted Budd. Tillis knows better, but goes on ahead to confirm the nominees.
I fear for the safety of our country.
Stunningly sick, and so very cruel. They haven’t even found all the bodies. I hope no one’s family heard about it.
He is a sociopath. They don't have hearts nor consciences.
Katherine, have you read Mary Trump's book on him? It explains everything!
No. I’ve seen it but I’m keeping my books to things that don’t give me nightmares 😊
Truly, I understand!! 😊
Trump’s ignorant impulsivity is what makes him so dangerous. It could get us into a war.
It’s like a nightmare that you can’t run fast enough to get out of. I hope he keeps saying more stupid things and acting worse every day. I don’t know what it will take for the stupid GOP to put country first.

Yeah, I totally fell for Sinema....until, 1 month in, I found out her background and her "bosom buddies!" It was a cluster fuck after that!
Completely agree 👍
When Trump blames DEI, he means that women, minorities, and individuals of other under-represented groups must be unqualified. It’s an openly racist statement endorsing discrimination against anyone other than white men. Please defend DEI. Casting the widest net for the best candidates is the way to get the most qualified employees.
He’s always been a racist,, a rapist, and a homophobe.
Hallelujah for you Adam and the people who are exposing the travesty that is leading out country ❤️🙏❤️☮️☮️☮️
Just became a subscriber, your sane words are so necessary in these bizarre times.
