Summary
Two planes collided while taxiing at Reagan National Airport, one carrying lawmakers including Rep. Josh Gottheimer, who blamed the incident on Trump-era FAA staffing cuts.
The White House denied cuts occurred, despite confirmed reductions of 400 FAA positions in February.
Rep. Adriano Espaillat described feeling the impact and accused the administration of misleading the public about aviation safety.
The crash follows a series of safety failures at Reagan, including a fatal January collision and an air traffic control tower fight last week that led to arrests and firings.
I mean, the joke of modern conservatism is often pairing the “Critical Thinking is just liberal brainwashing” with “We’ve done numerology on the latest Q-brief to divine the hidden meaning of the 2018 primary debacle”.
Folks are clearly not above spinning their wheels until smoke comes out their ears. You can rocket into deep space chasing why tariffs are good for the economy and only Israelis deserve foreign aid. Just so long as the priors remain undisturbed.
