Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy was an overachiever in failure in 2025.
He wasted no time in making sure people were not safe, whether they traveled by air, land, or water.
His first action was to lay off hundreds of air traffic controllers because of their gender, the color of their skin, their sexual orientation, or if they were differently abled. Predictably, this led to disaster with numerous plane crashes and more than a hundred people dying.
Duffy’s second action was to lie about his first action, even to the point of trying to deny having laid off the workers he had indeed laid off.
Duffy’s failure in managing the FAA became a recurring theme for 2025, with Duffy claiming that “people will lose their lives” flying under this administration, his failure to keep adequate staffing, which led to hundreds and thousands of flight delays, and eventually became a weapon in the War Against Thanksgiving.
