This is amazing. Hillary Clinton just EMASCULATED Trump over his next State of the Union.
Trump’s walk down the aisle, past Democratic women in Congress staring him down, will be a walk of shame.
“It will be a sight for sore, sore eyes.”

You don’t say - Air Space Intelligence, an Al-powered air-traffic software start-up, won a $875 million contract with the Federal Aviation Administration just months after its corporate PAC donated to Alfonso, Sean Duffy’s son in law.

Democrats, we won the majority. But we still need to win the trust of the American people. We can’t return to the status quo.

👋 if you’re looking for talented digital staff to lead anything, look no further than Matt’s list below! ⬇️
The DNC shouldn’t have to lay off staff after the election cycle we just had. Year-round funding isn’t an option for Dems anymore, it’s a demand. I hope donors see that.
Because of recent layoffs, some of my @TheDemocrats colleagues are looking for new gigs!
They are all stars and I’m so proud to have worked with them. If you need a good word about any, my DMs are open

Listen to this pilot. Speaking the truth about his flight during the FAA ground stop.
I hope he doesn’t lose his job over it.
Bless you, Mr. Pilot! 🙏

Where the hell did the money go, Donald?
Um… Joe Biden’s infrastructure law set aside $25 BILLION for airports and air traffic control.
Now we have a former REALITY TV STAR running the Department of Transportation, begging for another $30 BILLION while planes sit grounded.
Here's a crazy idea: Before demanding another $30 BILLION, how about explaining where the hell the original $25 BILLION went?
And considering this administration's obsession with declaring everything Biden did a failure, I'd especially like to know what's been spent, what's left, and whether any projects were sidelined.
Where the HELL is the press? Why isn't anyone demanding answers? 🤷♂️🙄

Bro, they aren't even trying to hide the corrpution anymore!!
The FAA airline stoppage story is a MUCH bigger one than the ground stop itself, and I only saw it once I started following the money and who gets paid...
Here is what I found...
The official line is that it was NOT a cyberattack and NOT a "nefarious act."
US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy points at overloaded routers and old broken equipment. Sure we can take that at face value, because it matters for what comes next.
Because on the SAME day, the White House went to Congress for 10s of billions of dollars to rebuild air traffic control, and Duffy pushed the number EVEN higher on camera.
Both happen on the same day, a very public failure declared NOT an attack, and the argument for a VERY large cheque built straight on top of it.
Whether the outage was engineered or was just the system rotting on schedule, the political result they are after is the SAME, the breakdown becomes the justification for MORE MONEY.
The money is the whole point here, and it ends up in one place...
The "brand new" air traffic control system contracts was handed in December 2025 to a single prime contractor, Peraton, a company owned by the private equity firm Veritas Capital, and chosen despite limited FAA experience.
The full program is priced at around $31 billion dollars. Congress has so far put up only $12 billion as a "down payment." The rest is still UNFUNDED.
So Friday's breakdown arrives as the pressure to approve the rest of the SAME program already promised to the SAME private contractor; Peraton.
Most US airports are public, owned by cities and airport authorities, but the terminals and the systems get built by private firms, and that is where the billions flow, out of public failure and public money into private hands.
So who are those PRIVATE HANDS benefiting most? Who ultimately gets the money?
The prime contract went to Peraton, a private company owned by the private equity firm Veritas Capital.
And who funds Veritas? Its investors are Israeli institutions: Clal Insurance $100M, Migdal Insurance $60M, Menora Mivtachim $50M, plus ~$150M from private Israeli investors, all in its at least $15.3 billion fund.
Peraton’s lobbyist is Mark Bednar also sits on the board of the "nonprofit" that funded Sean Duffy’s TV show “The Great American Road Trip”.
This is the question, and it needs to be examined by EVERYONE.
A pressure tactic to MOVE public money into private hands, while America and Americans pay for it with 5,000 cancelled flights and the economic fallout from that many cancelled flights…
The proximity is on the public record too, lobbying and personnel links running between the contractor and the officials now asking you to fund it.
Americans ate the cancelled flights and a wrecked weekend.
The money walks the other way, into private hands, and the whole thing is dressed up as an emergency repair.
Who will investigate this corruption and conflict of interest?
