Trump's illegal attempts to interfere with the midterms didn't work. The Justice Department brought 30 some lawsuits demanding access to state voter rolls but won none. The Supreme Court blocked administration plans to restrict delivery of mail ballots. trib.al/edWvXvY

House Republican Whip Tom Emmer admitted that the Trump administration never asked for money for the system upgrades, and when Emmer realized what he had done, he blamed Pete Buttigieg.

President Biden's 2021 Infrastructure Bill allocated $25 billion for air travel, which included $5 billion for the FAA to upgrade its systems.
Are you aware of who voted against that legislation?
Indeed, it was Markwayne Mullin.

Chuck Schumer voted to confirm this asshole Sean Duffy as Trump’s Transportation Secretary.
Chris Van Hollen did not.

On his reality TV show, Sean Duffy held a cat upside down, called it a “bitch,” pushed it with a cue stick, and buried it in a duffel bag.
This is who Trump hired to be in charge of transportation.

I joined CNN tonight to share what dozens of air traffic controllers have told me about Duffy’s explanation for the FAA ground stop. (They don’t buy it.)

I’ve spoken with 60 air traffic controllers tonight about what Sean Duffy said at the White House today. None of them are buying what he said because they said these types of switches that the FAA is doing, they don’t happen during the day, they don’t happen during busy times like a Friday afternoon. They’re doing these midweek, middle of the night when there is no air traffic going on. The controllers were saying, “We don’t buy that this is actually what’s happening, the reason that Sean Duffy is saying this has happened.”

On the same night Sean Duffy was demanding $50 billion for air traffic upgrades, the Trump Admin was telling court that it must proceed promptly with building Trump's Monumental Arch, in part to........
... "mitigate" against air dangers

Sean Duffy gets mad when a reporter asks him why the administration and Republicans haven’t taken control of the air traffic control issue at some point over the two years they’ve had total control of the government

Worth noting: The President, who goes on unhinged posting sprees at all hours of the day and night about the most petty, hateful, trivial nonsense, has somehow found nothing to say about a frightening nationwide aviation ground stop that has stranded Americans for hours. Not a single word of reassurance, or a word of concern. Nothing. You’d think he could spare 30 seconds between grievances to reassure the American people.

Boom...They were putting new technology into the system and it didn't work with the old system.
Says Mullin finally

“There are thoughts this could be an A.I.-related error.”
@SecMullinDHS MULLIN: “We call it S.I….”🤔
Just the most unserious people 🤡

Nationwide ground stop-
Not sure why, but can’t say I’ve seen this since 9/11/01.
Will keep monitoring…

While Sean was flying down water slides this summer during his government-sponsored Duffy Family Vacation, he could have been shoring up the nation's Air Route Traffic Control Centers
