Contributing sentiments towards policy:

41% : And so I just want to know that moving forward, my focus will be on doing everything possible to prevent another tragedy like this one, and that means that we have to get to the bottom of what happened here," Duckworth said.
35% : What Trump did in making his crusade against DEI part of today's storyline about the crash was corrosive, ignorant and obviously race-baiting in his dog whistles about who is really qualified to be an air traffic controller.
32% : We should worry that aviation security may be compromised under Trump, who cares little about facts.
30% : Trump was speaking as investigators were still trying to retrieve evidence, less than a day after the crash.
29% : Minutes after asking for a moment of silence for the 67 victims, Trump used the Wednesday night tragedy to attack air traffic controllers, in a move seemed calculated to justify his orders to shut down all diversity, equity and inclusion programs in federal government.
29% : Investigators will get the answers -- that is, if Trump and Elon Musk leave enough folks around to get the work done after they take a blow torch to the federal workforce.
28% : At a White House briefing, Trump, without a shard of evidence, also accused the Army helicopter pilots of flying into the plane as it was approaching a runway at Reagan National Airport, which hugs the river near the District of Columbia.
17% : One of the things that often happen when there is an aircraft mishap is that the people who are the most clueless, like President Trump, immediately blame the pilots.
15% : I asked Duckworth about Trump's blaming DEI for the crash.
7% : Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., briefed reporters shortly after Trump made his baseless accusations.
3% : "Obama, Biden and the Democrats put policy first, and they put politics at a level that nobody's ever seen because this was the lowest level," Trump said, calling Buttigieg a "disaster" with "a good line of bullshit.
