@skykiss To be fair, Duffy also had other "qualifications" to head the FAA. He was a lumberjack and a Fox News host.
These amateur hour appointees are an insult to the American people and a profound danger.
Shame on every Senator who confirmed them.

If you’re looking for the truth, here it is. Pete Buttigieg explains what his team did when the system went down and gives credit to the career staff doing that work today. Worth hearing in his own words.

Rep. García has the juice.

Duffy’s talking out of both sides of his mouth. Mark Wayne Mullen said they were doing updates and then Duffy says we need to get him the money now to update equipment. Let’s just add to the $40 trillion debt. You knew what you needed in that big ugly Bill so now if you want it, you get it reappropriated from ICE. #uspol

The Big Beautiful Bill funded ICE through the end of Trump’s Presidency. I think ICE’s budget is more than the USMC.

If Sean Duffy needs $50B to fix old FAA infrastructure, then reappropriate those O&M funds to FAA O&M funding.

Secretary Duffy, what America demands is that you ask Trump to take his thug ICE funds and give it to FAA so they can update the system. How about that? ICE is wasting more than $50 billion sir. Sounds like he’s trying to get another American investment in Elon Musk. #uspol

Sounds about right…

After 26 years, the #US lost its #measles elimination status

Thanks to [once upon a time] widespread #vaccination, measles had been considered “eliminated” as a continually transmitting illness in the US since 2000 – not anymore.

An independent commission of experts that reports to the director of the Pan American Health Organization [ #PAHO ] determined that the US no longer qualifies as having eliminated measles.

"There just wasn’t really any kind of principled no-new-wars plank in MAGA ideology, for the simple reason that Trump has been a hawk for his entire life." https://mrf.lu/2-T7C

I’m not saying it’s Skynet, but I’m also not not saying it’s Skynet.

Someone is sweating buckets in the Trump administration right now.

Whistleblowers have warned that the administration is shredding documents to hide the paper trail in relation to Trump's DC construction projects. But a new House majority has been elected, and Representative Jared Huffman has sent letters to 36 federal agencies and private companies, telling them to preserve evidence.

Because oversight is coming.

It’s weird how a year after everyone with money decided to go all in on AI major chunks of infrastructure started mysteriously collapsing. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence

@Nonilex Weather radars are down, too.

@GossiTheDog To be honest, it is way easier to manage 0 airplanes, so I guess AI did indeed reduce the workload of ATC.

Trump’s idiots put AI in charge and now we can’t fly anymore.

YESTERDAY
