Last year, Elon Musk said Sean Duffy “understands nothing about how anything works.”

One of the most prominent features of this administration is their ability to mess up things which used to work just fine.

O’Leary: We’ve never audited the government for 100 years.
Malinowski: It helps to know some things if we’re going to have this debate. Every agency of the federal government is audited by independent inspectors general. one of the first things that Trump and Musk did was fire the inspectors general

Donald Trump has been president for nearly SIX of the past ten years.
In the four years he wasn't, Biden and Democrats passed a historic infrastructure law, including $25 BILLION for aviation upgrades alone.
Pretending Trump just got here and somebody else is to blame is absolutely laughable.

On the China Chips Scandal:
There was no honeypot.
There was no entrapment of an unwitting innocent.
There was collusion.
Jensen Huang and Alice Huang worked together to evade export controls and get chips to China.
And they worked with Lutnick & Trump.
It was a conspiracy.

Love this. Thank goodness the DSA is finally being exposed as the elitist,
privileged, mostly white scammers they are.

Congressman Patronis is right. Congress should be raising absolute hell over this.
How is that even remotely acceptable?!
Congress approved $12.5 BILLION for air traffic control modernization in July 2025. Now, just 16 months later, we’re hearing that another $50 BILLION is needed immediately.
Excuse me, WHAT?!
Nobody expects decades of neglected infrastructure to be fixed overnight. But when the federal government cannot adequately explain a failure of this magnitude, Congress has every right to demand answers before writing another check.
For the second time since 9/11, the FAA ordered a nationwide ground stop. Thousands of flights disrupted for hours. And the people responsible for keeping American airspace safe still cannot fully explain WHY. Frankly, they gave us a press conference that created even more distrust than when we had no idea what was going on.
What exactly failed? Why? What happened to the safeguards? Where does the modernization funding stand? And has foul play been definitively ruled out?
You cannot ask the American people to trust a system when you cannot even explain why it stopped working.
This is a matter of national security and Congress needs to treat it like one.
Congress put billions on the table in the One Big Beautiful Bill to drag our outdated air traffic control systems into the 21st century. Now, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and these upgrades won’t happen overnight.
These upgrades were long overdue, and I applaud President Trump for taking the bull by the horns to make our systems better.
As a member of @TransportGOP I’ve got some serious questions for USDOT about what went wrong and whether Americans should expect more of this mess. I’m expecting a full brief to Congress on how this could happen. The traveling public deserves answers, not excuses.

We have arrived at the “everything everywhere all at once” cyber scenario that many, including myself, have long predicted.
What you’re seeing, the attacks on refrigeration and blood storage systems, the Outlook outage, the wave of extortion attacks the past few weeks, this is the beginning of a period of real pain.

The FAA Ground stop had nothing to do with an AI rollout.
A defense contractor called L3Harris that works with the FAA pushed out an update to their systems. The update failed and it is causing this cascading impact.
So yeah. Someone pushed an update out on a Friday afternoon.

I interviewed the head of the FAA in August. Hundreds of air traffic controllers contacted me afterward. They were outraged that the FAA wouldn’t pay them their 2.8% raise.
Although Congress approved and funded the compensation package in April, Bedford said it was on hold until the agency can “unlock more productivity” from its workers by having them work five hours at the controls each shift instead of the current four.
He cited how controllers worked 5 hours, 15 years ago. I found an FAA chart that showed the average time on position now and then and it showed controllers did NOT work 5 hours on position back then. Again it goes back to why was the raise really held up?

Turns out the problem was never the “DEI hires”, it was the unqualified white supremacists.

Three days ago, the FAA Administrator was relieved last minute of testifying before Congress, where lawmakers would have likely berated him for not paying air traffic controllers their raise among other issues.
Bryan Bedford has been silent on X all day, not posted a thing. He didn’t even post to thank the controllers who kept everyone safe during this unprecedented ground stop.
🚨 Duffy hasn't explained why this FAA ground stop occurred (we know telecomms but not if the SMART system was connected to it) but he's using it as reason to pour additional $30 billion more into overhauling air traffic control system. Now he's asking for $50 billion. They've already received $12.5 billion last year.
Meanwhile, the air traffic controllers working all but 4 days a month, 60-hour weeks were given a modest 2.8% pay raise in April that the FAA still hasn't paid out to them. Controllers have been messaging me all night saying they expected Duffy to use this as a reason to get more money, but that it would not benefit controllers.

EXCLUSIVE - The White House ordered federal officials late this summer to approve the release of tens of millions of dollars worth of detained illegal Chinese vapes into the U.S. market after conversations with Trump administration political adviser Chris LaCivita and his son.

“We work hard every day and take a tremendous amount of pride in what we do,” one air traffic controller wrote in a text message. “Most of us are veterans. We have been completely demoralized for the past 5 years while trying to manage the busiest airspace in the world with more airplanes than any other time in aviation.”

I want to quote our secretary of transportation Duffey: “I’m still working on the details of what went wrong today” but, apparently, $50 Billion will fix this unknown error?
