No one knows what caused last night's tragic crash outside DCA.

Investigations are ongoing, and no one - not Donald Trump or anyone else - should be drawing conclusions until all the facts have been released.

But here is what we do know. (1/7)
On his first day in office, Donald Trump froze the hiring of federal employees—including air traffic controllers. (2/7)

Also on January 20, Elon Musk pushed out the Chief of the Federal Aviation Administration.

Trump didn’t appoint an acting replacement until after last night’s crash. (3/7)

On January 22, Aviation Security Advisory Committee members were told Trump was cutting members of all advisory committees in a “commitment to eliminating the misuse of resources and ensuring that DHS activities prioritize our national security.” (4/7)

Also on January 22, Trump fired the heads of the Transportation Security Administration and the Coast Guard. (5/7)

In June 2023, the United States Department of Transportation Inspector General found that 77% of air traffic control facilities critical to the industry's daily operations were short-staffed. (6/7)

FAA staffing shortages have been exacerbated by @HouseGOP's repeated near-shutdowns of the government and their refusal to fully fund critical government functions.

These programs were only funded because more Democrats than Republicans voted to prevent these shutdowns. (7/7)

Yesterday, Republicans passed a so-called “budget” resolution that would gut Medicaid, SNAP, veterans’ benefits, and free school lunches.

Let me break down what that means for my people in TX-30:

🧵 (1/4)
93,000 folks in TX-30 who get health coverage through the Affordable Care Act are looking at a $440 hike in premiums every year — that’s a 77% increase.

All so billionaires can get another tax break.

(2/4)
123,930 people on Medicaid — or STAR+PLUS here in Texas — could lose their health care altogether.

We’re talking about seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income families who actually need this coverage.

Trump’s DOJ Deputy AG is ordering the FBI Acting Secretary to create a blacklist of officers for termination because they LAWFULLY INVESTIGATED an insurrection at the Capitol that resulted in severe injuries and deaths, including of law enforcement. (1/4)
Instead of respecting the acts and contributions of the FBI for holding people to account for desecrating the hallowed halls of Congress, my Republican colleagues are now cheering for their removal. (2/4)
LET’S BE CLEAR: Firing these experienced law enforcement officers is a victory for lawlessness, organized crime, and corruption. It is a get out of jail free card for the drug smugglers, human traffickers, child exploiters, and violent extremists that the FBI investigates. (3/4)

Let's get into Trump's Executive Orders that threaten our national security— buckle up y'all.

(1/5)
Trump's "Trans Servicemember" order clears the way for Trump to revive his 2017 ban on transgender people serving in the military.

Impacts: worsens the existing military recruiting shortage, degrades combat readiness, loss of experienced military personnel (2/5)
Trump's "Freeze Foreign Aid" order pauses all foreign development & humanitarian aid (despite it being only 1% of US budget). This will worsen international crises & lead to more refugees seeking asylum.

Impacts: global instability, fewer international partners, & famine (3/5)

Yesterday, Trump signed more executive orders on Inauguration Day than any President in history.

Every day this week, I'll be breaking down Trump's attacks on your rights and freedoms.

First up: immigration rights and birthright citizenship. (1/11)
Trump's 'Ending Birthright Citizenship' order violates the 14th Amendment by stripping citizenship from people with non-citizen parents.

Impacts: mixed-status families could be separated or deported, & ICE could start investigating citizenship of newborns in hospitals (2/11)
Trump's 'Military Deployment' order sends military personnel to patrol our U.S. border.

Impacts: Police State surveillance in border communities; greater risk of violence to citizens, non-citizens, and servicemembers (3/11)

Four years ago today, our country faced the largest threat to our democracy and peaceful transfer of power since the Civil War. This attack was premeditated and planned months in advance by violent militia members with close associations with then-President Donald Trump. (1/11)
A violent insurrection was launched by words from Donald Trump himself, speaking only a short distance away from the Capitol: “If you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore.” And fight like hell they did. (2/11)
In less than 5 hours, 5 people were killed, 174 law enforcement officers assaulted, congressmembers and the Vice President forced to flee for their lives, and the halls of the heart of American democracy desecrated, resulting in $30 million in repair and security costs. (3/11)
