For the first time in decades, I handed my successor an air traffic controller workforce that was growing instead of shrinking. Disturbingly, the Trump administration can't or won't say whether that’s still the case.

The clear takeaway from today is that Donald Trump is not unstoppable and you are not powerless.
Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift. It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.
We need leaders rooted in service, solutions, and a commitment to make government deliver for the people who need it most. Since I first got to know her six years ago, I’ve seen that Sandra Jauregui represents those values so well.
President Trump flipping off an autoworker is just the latest insult after a long line of broken promises to American workers and manufacturing communities.
Yes, it’s astonishing that Kristi Noem still has her job after the deaths, lies, and failures on her watch. But the American people have the final say when it comes to holding this entire administration - from the president on down - accountable for its cruelty and corruption.
Of course, Kristi Noem deserved to be fired. But rather than spend energy celebrating this Trump setback, let's recognize that the disaster of today’s DHS runs much deeper than the (former) Secretary's incompetence - and keep stepping up the political pressure.
Wherever my travels take me, I find that a majority of Americans agree (with each other, and with Democrats) on far more issues than the media or algorithms would lead us to believe.
"Iron laws of the world"? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit. If we let ideologues like Stephen Miller drag us back into a world where brute force is all that matters, all of us will be less safe.
Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.
