They don't feel the need to answer the public's questions. They forget who they work for. https://youtu.be/Ghc1sFDTdZU

Democracies are based on trust. Dictatorship is based on terror.
Trump needs chaos and fear to be the self proclaimed 'savior' of the havoc he and his goonies create.
His cult following believes it.

We already had a merit based system in government with career civil servants who have the expertise. Now Trump is firing them or they’re quitting only to be replaced by loyalists. He’s destroying the meritocracy!

Make sure you NEVER let the 24 Democrats who voted to confirm "reality" TV guy Sean Duffy forget it.
Hold them accountable for being so pathetically weak, for being such cowards.

Looking at that bitch's background, none of it is in transportation. Other than being a white, conservative male, how in the fuck did he get that gig? I've always said that being a straight, white male is THE greatest affirmative action program Murika has ever seen

he might have learned something about transportation when he was on Road Rules--idk 🙄

Ex DOT employee here - the Acting FAA Director should have been speaking. That guy knows NOTHING AT ALL!! And they are freezing air traffic controller hiring ... this will happen more often.
