#Trump’s #budget requests $13.8B for the #FAA, an increase of $359M, w/much of it intended to addressing the national shortage of air traffic controllers [that’s new].

The budget outlines a $5B investment to upgrade the #infrastructure of the national #airspace system, including a proposed increase of $824M for the year. This includes a $450M initial investment toward a multiyear, multi-billion-dollar #radar replacement initiative.

@Wen Again: That'll rather make one more suspicious as they have bulk access to all data ever posted on #AntisocialMedia owned by #US corporations.

  • Either one is completely not using any of those (and not using #NSAbook is deemed suspicious!) or better yet doesn't enter the #USA at all.

Same restrictions apply for people in #transit or even partially entering #US #airspace!

  • TLDR: STAY AWAY FROM THE USA CUZ IT'S LIKE #NorthKorea RIGHT NOW, IF NOT WORSE FOR TOURISTS!

Netanyahu’s plane avoided flying over countries that could enforce #icc warrant: Report AJ

⚠️ The aircraft carrying the ISR PM from Hungary to the US flew 400km (248 miles) further than the normal route to avoid the #airspace of several countries that could enforce an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court, according to the Haaretz newspaper.

📢 The Sinai Foundation for #humanrights stated on March 23, that it had documented the passage of four military cargo aircraft through the airspace of the Sinai Peninsula at extremely low altitudes over the Quseima area in Egyptian Sinai, before crossing Egyptian #airspace into Israel. It is believed that the aircraft headed toward Ramon Airbase.

US Institute of Peace Acting Pres - “DOGE has broken in2 our building,” after the organization previously turned away #DOGE employees and #FBI agents amid ongoing tensions over its independence from executive branch oversight. & Judge #Boasberg expressed disbelief at DOJ assertion that he lacked authority to order return of deportation flights once they had exited US #airspace, highlighting that such judicial authority is well-established. #DOGE deputized to illegally enter govt buildings. #coup

actionnetwork.orgKeep American Air Space Safe A catastrophic midair collision near Washington, D.C., killed 67 people. While the investigation is ongoing, one fact is undeniable: America’s air traffic control system is dangerously understaffed, and the consequences are deadly. The FAA needs 14,600 certified air traffic controllers to keep our skies safe. Right now, we only have 10,800, forcing controllers to work six-day weeks, grueling 10-hour shifts, and back-to-back rotations with no room for error. Near-misses are increasing. Delays are worsening. And tragedies like this will keep happening unless we act. But instead of fixing the crisis, Trump and his allies are spreading a lie by blaming DEI. The truth? Trump’s FAA hiring freezes, budget cuts, and restrictions on mental health care forced controllers out of the profession, leaving the system in freefall. The FAA is working to recover, but at the current pace, it will take nearly a decade to fix the damage. We don’t have that kind of time. Congress, even a Congress controlled by MAGA leaders, understands that our air space must be kept safe. Click ‘START WRITING’ to demand Congress fully fund air traffic control recruitment, hiring, and training NOW -- before more lives are lost.
