Another sign MAGA is doomed: Who voted for Republicans House candidates in the midterm most? Whites. People without college degrees. Whites in the south. And older people. Here you can see most female voters voted for Democratic candidates, while whites overall leaned Republican.

"This is NOT our fault. The blame lies with Theodore Roosevelt, who was President when the Wright brothers invented planes. Had he stopped planes right then and there the ground stop NEVER would have occurred. Thank you for your attention to this matter and whatnot!!!"

We’re now at the “all-flights-are-grounded, our-food-is-unsafe, no-one-can-afford-anything, measles-is-back, but-at-least-billionaires-are-making-money” stage of Republican-trifecta governance.

When I put my little grandson Bryce to bed last night he said, "Pop-pop, is it true that all those planes were grounded and those people were stranded due to outdated Biden-era technology over which Sean Duffy had no control?" When I said yes, he just cried and cried🙏🇺🇸

Who’s responsible for Friday’s monumental clusterfuck? Mullin, now DHS secretary, as a congressman voted against the Biden infrastructure bill, which had $25 billion for the air system. Duffy, now Transportation secretary, as a congressman in 2019 voted to defund the FAA. See?

The smallest, least important part of last night's press conference, but still funny The guy who complained people don't wear suits to fly explained he was in athleisure for the press conference because he had just been on a flight

Reminder: when Sean Duffy was a congressman, he and other Republicans voted against upgrading air traffic control systems. Now, he’s trying to blame those systems for Newark airport’s outages – while claiming DOGE’s cuts of critical support staff at the FAA had nothing to do with it. Hello?

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.

It was the worst WH briefing in the midst of a crisis I’ve ever seen. Took 10 minutes to announce that planes were flying again. Then blamed Congress and praised Trump’s leadership. Attacked reporter for asking good question. Said safe to fly, but warned it could happen again.
Secretary Duffy laid out exactly what happened that led to the ground stop and how the ground stop was lifted, then outlined in great detail exactly what fixes are necessary to ensure this never happens again. He literally covered everything you mentioned in this post.

This press conference is not assuring the public that the system is safe. Duffy has lost his plot line. He seems to be holding the public hostage to his money ask. The White House got plenty for ICE. This isn’t Congress fault.

Americans are stuck at airports across the country. They deserve answers, clear updates, and a plan to get home safely. Instead, the Trump Administration is correcting reporters on AI’s "preferred name." These are not serious people.

You guys realize that if a major national crisis hit tomorrow, THESE are the people we'd be counting on to lead us through it, right? That should scare the absolute hell out of every American.
