National Air Traffic Shutdown: It’s Clear Who’s to Blame

The entire nation’s air traffic control system collapsed today. Thousands of flights canceled, thousands more delayed — fortunately, no one was killed (yet).

So—what has the Trump- appointed *Secretary of Transportation*, who oversees the FAA and traffic at many major airports, been doing much of the Year 2026?

Answer: He’s been negotiating TV sponsorships, and starring in, and even promoting a new television reality show!

The New Kardashian!  Wow! This will make him more famous than he already is! Sean Duffy, you’re a star!

Oh…..and when you can get to it, just maybe, you could actually DO YOUR FUCKING JOB. Millions of Americans who fly sure would appreciate it!

Oh, and then there’s THIS.

Despite attempts to show concern for flight safety, SEAN DUFFY (then a congressman) along with 180 Republicans voted to DEFUND the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in a critical 2019 action. They voted against the *Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act*, which included funding for the agency responsible for keeping air travel safe.

No Democrats voted against the bill. Only 12 Republicans, including crossed party lines to support it. The full list of the 180 Republicans who voted against FAA funding can be found here — INCLUDING NOW SEC. DUFFY. This vote took place during the 116th Congress.
