Summary
The FAA is facing a leadership vacuum amid a major aviation disaster after former administrator Michael Whitaker resigned on January 20th, following clashes with Elon Musk.
Musk, angered by FAA fines against SpaceX, publicly called for Whitaker’s resignation.
The crisis intensified after an Army helicopter collided with an American Airlines jet in Washington, D.C., killing all on board.
Trump has appointed Chris Rocheleau as acting FAA administrator, with Musk reportedly influencing government staffing decisions.
The FAA also struggles with underfunding and air traffic control staffing shortages.
Just IMAGINE if this happened under a Biden or Obama administration.
Republicans would be losing their collective shit. They’d probably have some DEFCON level on the fox news ticker for a year straight.

Honest question: Where the heck are the left talking heads? The ones I follow are much too busy writing clickbait titles, covering the story and shaking their heads a bit.

Corporate media is controlled by the fascists now.
There’s actually no point. Like literally. We’re 10 days into this shit show. By the time of the midterms try to imagine how much sheer bullshit, how many should-be-scandals will have come and gone. Nobody will even remember this in 2 years time.
They’re terrified of being put into a camp. I kind of don’t blame them but I kind of do.
They are out there. I think none of them are as argumentative as the chuds though. And liberals don’t fall in love like the right does, at least not that I have seen, which I think contributes.
I know many people who have fallen in love with Rachel Maddow.
I believe Trump said he will jail the media - who wants to be the media?
Nah don’t worry Republicans will investigate this just as hard as Benghazi, for 10 years. /s
