Safety first. Safety always. FAA info.
People are struggling right now. Some without work, some working without pay. As we hit day 30 of the government shutdown it's important to note what benefits may be dried up come Nov 1. If at all possible, even if it's just a can of peas or an hr of your time, give to your local community.

Gentle reminder that 60,000 TSA employees are currently working without pay.
Please know that we love, thank, and support you all during this ridiculous and dark time.
And I certainly hope that 60,000 of you vote appropriately in the next elections - presuming we still have them, of course.

Long time FAA contractor here. This is your reminder that while Secretary Pete was in office, the FAA controlled over 40 million scheduled airline flights with a grand total of 0 accidents. (The FAA does not control most small aircraft flying between airfields with no control tower).

Space exploration has always been inherently dangerous. Trying to manage that danger is truly “mission critical”.
Does Duffy think people are expendable?
And does this philosophy include FAA operations, too?
Rail and highway safety?
He is unfit.

Something baffling to me is I do not see a lot of discussion around how unsafe it is to fly right now.
The FAA has been operating at crisis levels for years & it's gotten markedly worse in the last 9 months.
Then, for swaths of the population—students, anyone brown/Black, LgbTqia+ folks...

good to know that if our clever boy imposes federal control on DC, it’s now legal to just send in some drones
The FAA will now let commercial drones fly beyond the operator’s line of sight.
The move will "unleash American drone dominance," Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said.
As a result, Duffy said, " You may get a Starbucks cup of coffee from a drone."

A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week.
He has reportedly been denied access to an attorney and his family has not been given a reason for his detention.
We cannot become immune to this cruelty.
