For months, I’ve been warning that Trump might try finding “fraud” from the 2020 election in order to justify heavy interference in our midterms. It looks like that “announcement” could be coming this Thursday. Don’t believe the narrative he’s trying to push.

The first wave of White House-ordered firings at the FAA included employees who play key roles in the safety of air travel — despite the Trump admin’s assurances that no “critical” staff was axed. “Air traffic controllers cannot do their work without us,” one former employee told us.

‘Air traffic controllers cannot do their work without us’
The Trump administration has defended its cuts at the Federal Aviation Administration by saying safety-critical employees weren't affected. Experts disagree.
