Just a reminder that Sean Duffy filmed a reality show, “Great American Road Trip,” over a 7-month period when he should have been focusing on his job, foreshadowing how road trips would be the only way some airline customers could get home! I wonder how United Airlines feels about sponsoring now.
Jokes aside, this was all in Project 2025. Separate air traffic control from the FAA and privatize the communications system. We don't need conspiracy theories when we just have the grift written down.
for the second time in 14 hours, Sean Duffy is holding a news conference not to provide information, but to lecture Congress about how they should give him and Trump more money
this is happening because a bunch of chuds decided that having grown-ups with subject matter expertise in charge of important things was woke and gay
The entire aviation industry is at a dead stop and he is more worried about Trump barking at him for not using his preferred computer pronoun
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 23h agoQ: There are thoughts that this could be an AI related issue--- MARKWAYNE MULLIN: We call it SI, remember. You can't rule out anything at this point
You know things aren’t going well when the return of endemic measles doesn’t even crack the top five headlines of the day.
I'll never get over we all saw how Trump handled a crisis with Covid and people said, "More of that."
Sean Duffy says Trump’s Administration needs more money to overhaul the FAA air traffic control system. You want money, try these places: -ICE & CBP = $200B -Iran war = $50B -The ballroom = $600M -Reflecting pool = $16M - Trump’s Arch = $100M -Trump's pockets = $3B Start there & get back to us! 🖕
People don't want data centers polluting their cities. They don't want masked thugs terrorizing their neighbors. They don't want more forever wars. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met. Dems must seize this moment.
Markwayne Mullin correcting someone that it’s “super intelligence and not artificial intelligence” after grounding all flights nationwide is almost as embarrassing as Pete Hegseth renaming the DoD “War Department” right before losing an avoidable war to Iran.
This is the woman who co-sponsored legislation to terminate the Department of Education.
WATCH — @timmiller.bsky.social : “ICE warned if she stepped out of line she’d never see her daughter til she was grown… The idea this little girl needs to be in an internment camp vs. school with her friends is crazy. The family is not a danger to anybody.” #AbolishICE (from @thebulwark.com )
Today would be a great day to set up voter registration drives on airport concourses.
-break things -blame others -demand billions from taxpayers This is how the Trump regime operates
I have a great idea. Let’s put a reality TV show guy/Fox host in charge of transportation in the US despite the fact that he has zero qualifications or experience since the president liked watching him on TV and thought he had a good line of BS. What could go wrong?
I’m sure Trump has this flight situation handled because his uncle was a professor at MIT so he can figure this stuff out without listening to experts. Nobody knows more about air traffic control than Trump. He even owned an airline. Until he bankrupted it.
What's crazy is if we had another election tomorrow, Republicans would lose even worse
Our brilliant plan of putting people who think reading is gay in charge of everything has hit an unexpected snag.
So Biden's 2021 Infrastructure Bill included $25 billion in funding for air travel, including $5 billion for the FAA to upgrade its systems. You know who voted against that bill? Yup: MarkWayne Mullin. www.faa.gov/iija

Duffy blaming a GOP controlled congress for not allocating money to fix an antiquated system This administration has spent billions on vanity projects without congressional approval Simple fact is that they don't want to fix anything, but like to blame failings on anyone, everyone else
A few days ago the FAA was rolling out new AI air traffic control tools to speed up routes and fast forward to today, we’re spending hundreds of millions to ground all flights and strand tens of thousands of people.
I mean, it took them 6 months to figure out how to clean a pool.
