Reposted by LaPenguinneMrs. Betty Bowers @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 30/01/2025The DC control tower was understaffed. There was only one controller, controlling both helicopters and planes. Those are supposed to be separate jobs. We need to investigate whether Donald Trump's hiring freeze last week played a role. 22353071541

Reposted by LaPenguinneAaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 30/01/2025all I know is that had President Biden forced out the FAA chief under pressure from his top adviser and his corrupt motives, and then the next week there was a plane crash that killed more than 60 people, Republicans would be howling that it was an impeachable offense. 419145483289
Reposted by LaPenguinneRobert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 30/01/2025We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...theverge.comThe FAA is facing a major crisis without a leader because Elon Musk pushed him outFAA chief Michael Whitaker resigned earlier this month after facing criticism from Musk. 24684083232

The President and extreme MAGA Republicans are blaming women and people of color for the deadly plane crash. At the same time, they are dismantling the Federal Aviation Administration as we know it.
