Jane Koston: 我正在努力弄清楚,你如何得出结论,认为多样性与这次坠机事故有关。因为我有常识,好吧?不幸的是,很多人没有。特朗普利用这场悲剧进行种族主义的咆哮,签署了一项行政命令,要求审查拜登政府的招聘决定和安全协议变更。他还暗示,如果现在不是白人、直男、身体健全的男性担任工作,他们肯定不配。除非是特朗普在竞选活动中经常谈论的那些黑人工作或西班牙裔工作。当被问及他是否会去参观坠机现场时,总统的回应很粗鲁。遇难者家属仍在悲痛中,而美国总统却在开玩笑说要去游泳,并把这场悲剧归咎于少数族裔担任工作。 Jamie Raskin: 特朗普声称前总统拜登和多元化、公平和包容计划应对坠机事故负责,这是荒谬的。他的言论本身就足以自证其谬误。多元化、公平和包容计划现在已经成为特朗普用来解释一切的万能借口。我听说我的一个选民在FDA工作,她的工作是为癌症药物试验组建病人队伍。她的工作描述中有一句话是接触少数族裔社区,以确保少数族裔参与癌症药物的测试。她被解雇了,因为她据称是一个多元化、公平和包容计划的人。但是无论如何,我听说很多我的选民,他们属于少数族裔,他们向我报告说他们被解雇了,即使他们与招聘没有任何关系。特朗普政府的行政命令和政策变化给联邦雇员带来了极大的焦虑和不确定性。特朗普政府对司法部进行了清洗,解雇了高级领导,并将其重新分配到一个可能不存在的新任务组。特朗普政府的行为旨在通过诉讼来挑战司法机构,并扩大总统权力。民主党不应该屈服于特朗普的威权主义,而应坚持自己的政治立场。

Shownotes Transcript

An American Airlines flight from Wichita, Kansas, and an Army helicopter on a routine training flight collided over the Potomac River late Wednesday night. While investigators spent Thursday trying to piece together what happened, President Donald Trump took the opportunity to blame the tragedy on... Democrats and D.E.I. It was the latest outrage in too many to count since Trump took office not even two weeks ago. Maryland Congressman Jamie Raskin joins us to talk about what Democrats can do to counter Trump’s onslaught of horrifying nonsense. 

Later in the show, Crooked Media climate correspondent Anya Zoledziowski shares some good news about Trump’s anti-climate orders.

And in headlines, Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel got their chance to flail in front of senators during their respective confirmation hearings, Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he’s headed to Panama amid Trump’s threats to retake the Panama Canal, and a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas continues to hold.
