Donald Trump has not be seen in public since Wednesday, and he hasn't uttered a single word about yesterday's historic air travel ground stop -- not even on his Truth Social page

Blue dot, red state. Tired but not dead. Dogs are better than people.
Another reason to have qualified people in charge is so they don’t use words so poorly that they make it sound like they are gleefully extorting the taxpayer.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 16h agoQ: Last week you requested $30 billion. How do you get from $30 billion then to $50 billion last night? Are you prepared to itemize that? DUFFY: What I'm trying to do is get a number that I think Congress will give me
The FAA is now the Cybertruck of aviation.
Reminder that @secduffy.bsky.social spent the summer shooting a reality television show with his family. On your dime.
Remind me, what is the job Trump does? It sure isn’t defending the Constitution or running the government.
Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · yesterdayNo social media post yet from Trump about the air travel meltdown. He seems increasingly checked out, unless the issue involves his ballroom, his helipad, his triumphal arch or his plot to steal a park from DC residents so rich guys can golf in luxury there.
In January 2026, the Trump administration and the Pentagon announced they'll take a $1 billion convertible preferred security equity stake in L3Harris as the company prepares to spin off its critical missile and solid rocket motor business punchbowl.news/article/defe...
Defense: Trump admin takes stake in defense company
Some senators were skeptical Tuesday of the Pentagon’s newly announced plans to take an equity stake in solid rocket motor maker L3Harris.

A bunch of “fake it til you make it” guys fake it until they break it — science, health, warfighting, air travel…
The FDA: measles outbreaks, diarrhea lettuce The FAA: breaks flying altogether The Dept of Commerce: helping funnel chips to China Dept of Defense: somehow losing a war it started Dept of State: siding with Russia over our allies What a complete clownshow.
In case you heard otherwise, there is no radar outage and radar.weather.gov is fully operational! Outdated content from isolated webpages stating otherwise has been circulating, but NWS radars are operating normally.
I’m worried that this government of the reality TV actors doesn’t know what it’s doing 
So in the past three hours, a river boat sank in New Orleans, a rocket exploded, AND the whole country’s air traffic control system stopped working? And it’s Friday the 13th? I dunno, maybe stay off trains and the road tonight?
Predictive Stupidity@onemoney.bsky.social · yesterdayElon 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.
Our pilot literally just said “if you’re looking at the news you probably know more than I do”
“In a sufficiently stupid administration, gross incompetence and terrorist attacks will be indistinguishable” —MarkWayneJimBobRileyLee Mullen
Pilots getting info from passengers & having to ask ATC for info while FAA not having a contingency plan to immediately implement is more than a little worrisome. But at least we'll be able to watch Duffy's reality TV show I guess.
Perhaps putting this guy in charge of the nation's federal aviation infrastructure was a bad idea.
- 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.
We’ve been quietly attacking Iran off and on for the last couple of weeks. Iran targeted Bahrain again yesterday. Now this. It’s gonna keep getting dumber.
Jet-powered Russian drones with Nvidia chips are now breaking into Ukrainian airspace and killing people because Starlink restrictions hinder Ukrainian air defense.
State Department spox Tommy Pigott: "American citizenship is not for sale, and we are making that clear" (Trump's Gold Cards could not be reached for comment ... )
Everyone is leaking on everyone now, the long knives are out

NVIDIA CEO resigns, potentially disrupting years-long Chinese espionage campaign. Microsoft exchange experiences multi-regional outages hours later.
