There is 0 evidence DEI has led to more plane crashes. Aviation experts though do say consistent understaffing at the FAA over the years is making flying less safe Talking about DEI instead of the actual reasons the planes craahed is Trump’a tactic and once again pundits are falling for it.

Past the headline this is actually a worthwhile story. White House is changing Musk’s title in court filings and claiming there’s an unnamed person nominally in charge of DOGE to a federal judge. Perhaps poor headline choice, but it’s good reporting
