  • Many critics of the mass layoffs of federal government workers being carried out by the Trump Administration with the help of the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)
  • including longtime conservatives like former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele and GOP ex-Reps.

The article from MSN discusses an aviation worker's criticism of former President Donald Trump and the Department of Transportation (referred to as "Doge" in the headline, likely a typo or misnomer for "DOT") for implementing budget cuts that the worker believes are compromising airline safety. The worker, whose identity is not disclosed, argues that these cuts have led to reduced oversight, fewer inspections, and a general decline in the maintenance of safety standards within the aviation industry. The critique highlights a perceived increase in safety risks due to diminished regulatory enforcement and resources, which could potentially lead to accidents or incidents. The article also touches on the broader implications of these cuts, suggesting that the focus on deregulation and cost-cutting under the Trump administration has prioritized economic benefits over public safety.
