Don’t panic, we have a president who bankrupted an airline. He knows what he’s doing.

Where is the Transportation Secretary? Where is the President?

This is one of those days when it would have been preferable to have had *competent* people in the executive branch who could both inform and reassure us. Instead, it's just ignorant amateurs up and down the ranks.

Elon Musk's SpaceX Starship Flight 15 double catch has failed. The booster "diverted" into the Gulf of Mexico where it exploded in a ball of fire.

Every day these incompetent unqualified morons demonstrate that they have no fucking idea how to run a government. I wouldn’t hire these people to sell hotdogs at a baseball game, because they’d somehow find a way to fuck that up too.

- Microsoft Exchange goes down for a full day - Tanker crashes into a cruise ship - Nationwide ground stop due to FAA comm issues - Cargo ship hits bridge over the Delaware I’m not saying it’s Skynet, but I’m also not not saying it’s Skynet.

Microsoft, which saw a 32% rise in profits last quarter, will offer buyouts to 60,000 workers amid rising use of AI. Reminder that Microsoft got $12.5B in tax breaks last year from Trump's Big Ugly Bill Its CEO made $96.5M in 2025, a 22% increase from the previous year. The system is rigged.

Everything this administration does links back to some corruption. Sean Duffy awarded a $875 M contract for AI-powered air traffic control management. The contact was awarded after the company used its PAC to send money to Sean Duffy's son-in-law. The roll out of this AI was this week. Coincidence?

In June the FAA under Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and the Trump administration—awarded ASI a contract worth $875M for its AI-powered air traffic management tools (SMART and FMDS). The CEO of ASI made donations to Duffy's campaign. The system rollout was today. gizmodo.com/the-faa-is-r...

Inflation is up again, half the cabinet lives on military bases afraid of various things, we’re selling sensitive chips to Chinese spies while the govt ignores it, we’re in an endless war w/Iran, there’s a mass exodus at DOJ, and flights are grounded. This is what MAGA voted for.

It's been hours and we've seen ZERO communication from Trump on the unfolding crisis at the FAA

Is it just me or are Donnie’s cabinet morons in competition for who can fuck up the most gloriously? - Allowing Chinese Spying - Bringing Back Deadly Diseases - Grounding National Airports - Losing The Iran War - Killing Americans in the Streets - Protecting Pedophiles And the list goes on…

Or due to Friday the 13th. 😒

It's so reassuring that the White House has deployed Markwayne Mullin and Sean Duffy, two of the stupidest and most superficial people available, to address our current air traffic control crisis.

👀 Varney: "We have to ask if anyone had a financial interest in getting those chips through to Beijing. That's what this is about."

Maybe if our Secretary of Transportation weren't such a trifling clown, who prioritizes using money to put gyms in airports over more air traffic controllers, the FAA wouldn't have grounded all flights nationwide today.

Imagine my surprise when I found out a washed-up actor has the power to deport a congressman.
