Trump is doing deals with one of Putin’s closest allies just days after signing the Republican Russia sanctions bill into law, which created fake sanctions while simultaneously allowing Trump to do more unilateral tariffs and cut ties with our biggest trading partners.

Turns out the comms tech that the aviation sector relies on was never designed with security in mind. This is a massive national security threat at a time when Trump has already made flying more dangerous than ever. The FAA needs to implement new standards as soon as possible to protect passengers.
