Yesterday, Freedom Caucus Republicans sent a letter to Pete Buttigieg at the Dept of Transportation demanding National Transportation Safety Board documents related to the train disaster in East Palestine.

Buttigieg responded with shock because
NTSB is an independent body, for good reason, and not even part of his Department.

Republicans don’t even know what they’re doing.

@georgetakei George, they know exactly what they are doing. They can scream to their base that they sent a demand. They don't care what the reply is or what the reality is, they know their base and the news agencies that report for them, only care about the initial letter.
