Duffy Insists Clinton 'Sit Out' DOGE Aviation Upgrades Amid Criticism

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will begin upgrading the aviation system, prompting criticism from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Clinton questioned the experience of DOGE members, stating many aren't old enough to rent a car and expressing concern over airline safety. Duffy responded by asserting that experienced Washington bureaucrats have caused infrastructure issues and told Clinton to 'sit this one out.' Elon Musk, leading the DOGE initiative, emphasized the need for rapid safety upgrades to the air traffic control system following recent fatal aviation incidents, including a collision between a military helicopter and a passenger jet. The exchange reflects ongoing tensions over aviation safety amid calls for modernization in the sector. The Biden administration's efforts to innovate may face resistance from those entrenched in the federal system, as noted by a White House spokesperson.
