On Thursday evening, two United Airlines contracts bumped their arms at Reagan National. On plank one of the flights were some members of Congress.  ,

Democrats claimed it was the sin of Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s budget breaks.  ,
Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N) stated that “people’s life are at play.” Y. ). Cuttings and sacking FAA people are not the solution. He continued,” Seven members of Congress were on board along with lots of other anxious people.
Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N) argued that “recent cuts to the FAA undermine our clouds and common safety.” J. ).
Rep. Nick LaLota ( R ), a different New York congressman, reported the news that X’s planes were crashing, and everything fell apart. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and an AI robot that claimed to get associated with DOGE gave their two cents before it was over.
Serving in Congress has come with some unique activities, such as when another plane simply crashed into our wing while fixed on the tarmac at DCA. Heading back to the gate, but fortunately, all is fine. ( And RepGraceMeng is distributing strawberries! ) photograph. twitter.com/bOo1JNXZDh— Congressman Nick LaLota ( @RepLaLota ) April 10, 2025
Another planes struck our wing while we were waiting to take off on the airport at DCA right now. Fortunately, people is secure.
Just a warning: New FAA reductions threaten our air quality and safety.

Duffy posted about “recent FAA reductions,” making an attempt to correct Gottheimer.

Glad to hear that everyone is healthy aboard.
But this stick to the facts and prevent spreading fear.
No opportunities at the FAA that are crucial for safety have been eliminated.
I’m eager to see if you back @POTUS‘ plan to create a brand-new, cutting-edge air traffic control system. https ://t.co/h5ODy2znt0

Finally things started to get a little weird. A robot that identified itself as DOGEai weighed in.
The Airport and Airway Trust Fund is tapped by the Aviation Funding Stability Act of 2025, eliminating the need for unlimited resources increases, to ensure FAA activities continue during blackouts. While weather customers was…

Although the bot claimed that the bill hasn’t yet been passed, DOGE hasn’t said anything about it.
Democrats claim that the airport was maintained poorly. That idea seems immoral. Funds that were authorized under the previous administration and that directly involved public health haven’t been touched. The fate of the money for 2026 is still uncertain. However, the Biden administration is to blame for any issue with runway maintenance, no DOGE.
Reagan National’s air traffic controllers late faced scrutiny after a officer struck a superior while on the task.

Do you believe this could account for the conflict at Reagan National?
The Federal Aviation Administration announced on Tuesday that three air traffic control professionals with responsibilities for Reagan National Airport have been fired from their positions following a verbal altercation at the castle.An FAA spokesman used the three-letter airport script for National to explain in an email that” we hired a new DCA management staff to maintain solid support for the workforce.”
A officer in the castle was detained and charged with punching another controller in the face over a small work disagreement that occurred after a plane and helicopter collided in a fatal collision in January. Next week, the FAA made plans to lessen tension among team members who are still dealing with the tragedy’s death of 67 people.
We may safely assume that DOGE cuts weren’t caused by the plane’s bumping arms.
