NEW: Sean Duffy frequently calls safety his “top priority” as transportation secretary. But I spent months wading through regulatory notices and found something far different: that USDOT has been delaying, weakening and killing dozens of safety rules, many opposed by the transportation industry.🧵

You don’t have to be an economic genius to realize that extra money put into the hands of the middle class is spent/respent, taxed/retaxed over and over.Money put into the hands of the rich goes into tax shelters never again to be used to benefit the nation in any way. Not even at death.
