There's somehow enough funding to build his ballroom and statues, arches, monuments drenched in gold, but not enough to run the FAA.
America, you're being scammed by this administration.
Omg. Sean Duffy tries to hold another press conference and gets drowned out by feedback as technical issues derail the whole thing. They can’t even run a basic presser competently.
DOGE laid off approximately 400 FAA employees, including technicians responsible for maintaining and upgrading critical navigational systems, which raised concerns about aviation safety and operational efficiency within the agency

@chrismottram590: I've been in IT for over 40 years. You can't blame the kit. Something changed. They pushed an update to live without proper staging, stress testing or a graceful degradation path. Incompetence, pure and simple.
@Dave: Listen Biden already gave $15 billion on his Airport infrastructure grant. Then Trump comes along and gives them another $12.5 billion in 2025 so in 4 years time airports have already been given $27.5 billion and they need $50 billion more are you serious? This is insane amount of money
@LJ: So the air version of the reflecting pool.
@Orangefantafanatik: They can’t blame DEI so now they’ve graduated to blaming an analog system instead of the AI tool his son in law was contracted to provide that shut everything down.
@RDMNB: How do you analyse, design, build and test such a big software project in a few months? It's not possible. That timeline tells us all we need to know.
Our Secretary of Transportation found time to make this while working for the U.S. taxpayers! Everyone trapped in an airport should watch it right now!
Who knew that a Boston based startup called Air Space Intelligence donated money to Sean Duffy’s son in law Michael Alfonso’s campaign for Congress which he won.A few months later The Transportation department awards that same Company a massive contract worth $875.9 million dollars.
This was the press conference we needed last night, God bless him.
Not that blackmail money shakedown full of nonsense we got demanding $50 billion more tax dollars to be safe to fly.
Dear Republicans,
You've controlled the House, the Senate, and the White House for 2 years now. There is NO EXCUSE for disastrous lapses in management like this, NONE.
You only have YOURSELVES to blame.
And Sean Duffy needs to be fired.
