Last week Trump dissolved the Aviation Security Advisory Committee (#ASAC), fired the head of the #TSA and the Coast Guard, and allowed Musk to force the head of the #FAA after Musk told him to resign. We don’t know precisely why a commercial airliner tragically collided with a military helicopter last night, but we know we need the federal government to be focused on air safety rather than politics.

As General Mattis taught @realDonaldTrump in rejecting the transgender ban the first time around, POTUS can’t issue military orders by tweet and the military should not accept orders by tweet or other social media.

#DOJ is pulling the federal cases against @realDonaldTrump. This is a mistake. Better to let Trump do his own firing than to get out ahead of him and save Trump from obstructing his own prosecutions. I explain in my latest column in The Hill.

This is unbelievable. And what was the temperature in the room?
Once again, another CIA cable summary from late May 2003. It reads no more EITs and sleep deprivation concluded. Welner was aware al Baluchi was naked the entire time.
