The Spin

Underfunded air traffic control is a disaster waiting to happen, and Democrats who blocked DHS funding are directly responsible for the chaos unfolding at airports nationwide. Fatigued controllers working without pay are making deadly mistakes, like putting a fire truck in the path of a landing aircraft. This is what happens when critical safety infrastructure gets starved of resources.

The LaGuardia crash that killed two pilots is a damning indictment of the current administration's failure to keep aviation safe. More pilots have died under Trump in aviation accidents than during Biden's tenure and Trump's first term combined — that record speaks for itself. Sean Duffy needs to resign and stop pretending this safety crisis isn't happening on his watch.
