❌ WHAT???? No Acting FAA Director????
The FAA Has No Clear Leader During the Worst Air Disaster in 16 Years.
The former FAA head tussled with Musk and wanted to fine SpaceX for safety violations.
He resigned after Trump won the election and hasn’t been replaced.
VIDEO If you didn’t see this video, please watch it:
That’s Transportation Secretary Duffy walking away from cameras and not asking if there’s a head of the FAA.
The FAA director resigned after Elon Musk demanded he quit.
Interesting reality…FAA oversees SpaceX.
Elon should not be INVOLVED! Personally vendetta against FAA Director…

Yesterday, Trump signed the Laken Riley Act, which requires the detention of people charged with assaulting law enforcement officers.
Meanwhile, he pardoned more than 100 insurrectionists convicted of assaulting law enforcement officers. This is not about “law and order.”

Here are some important facts:

– He has no FAA administrator because Elon Musk forced him to resign
– He fired the head of TSA
– He fired the head of the Coast Guard
– He hired a compulsive drunk as Defense Secretary

The FAA is facing its first major aviation disaster in 16 years without a leader because Elon Musk pressured the former FAA administrator to resign on January 20th. Musk was angry that the FAA fined SpaceX for failing to get approval for launch changes.

When Trump fires the most pro-union General Counsel in the National Labor Relations Board’s history & illegally removes a member of the NLRB, he isn’t a champion of the working class.
He is a champion of corporate greed and union busting.
Trump fired 400 FAA senior officials, the TSA head, and 3,000 air traffic controllers just 8 days ago. Policy choices have consequences.
Today, American Airlines Flight 5342 collided with a Blackhawk over the Potomac, killing 65 Americans.

Danielle R.

SACCAVINO pled guilty before U.S. District Judge Lewis J. Liman and is scheduled to be sentenced on May 14, 2025.
U.S. Attorney Danielle R. Sassoon said: “Anthony Saccavino betrayed the City agency he was chosen to lead by repeatedly selling access to the Bureau of Fire Prevention’s services in a pay-to-play bribery scheme. This Office will continue to ensure that City officials who place their own interests above those of the public will be held accountable.”

2. Freeze hiring of all Air Traffic Controllers.
3. Fire 100 top FAA security officers.

To Pay for Trump Tax Cuts, House GOP Floats Plan to Slash Benefits for the Poor and Working Class
A menu of options being circulated by congressional Republicans also includes new tax cuts for corporations and the ultrawealthy.
https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-tax-cuts-congress-republicans-plan-slash-benefits
For the ultrawealthy, the document floats eliminating the federal estate tax, at an estimated cost of $370 billion in revenue for the government over a decade. The tax, which charges a percentage of the value of a person’s fortune after they die, kicks in only for estates worth more than around $14 million.
Among those very few Americans who do get hit with the tax, nearly 30% of the tax is paid by the top 0.1% by income, according to estimates by the Tax Policy Center think tank. (Many ultra-wealthy people already largely avoid the tax. Over the years, lawyers and accountants have devised ways to pass fortunes to heirs tax free, often by using complex trust structures, as ProPublica has previously reported.)

Then he gutted a key aviation safety committee,… fired the heads of the TSA,… fired hundreds at the FAA,… and then implemented a hiring freeze.
But he says,… the plane crash was,… (Wait for it),… Obama’s fault.

Last year, we talked to air traffic controllers and found out they’re are working 10-hour shifts, 6 days a week, with mandatory overtime.
Trump’s cuts to the federal workforce and push to privatize air traffic control could make matters even worse.

Why? Because last year the FAA fined SpaceX $600,000 — for safety violations.
Now the FAA has no chief — and we just had the first commercial airline crash in 16 years.
