Today, the New Democrat Coalition released Episode 20 of The Fly-In, a podcast co-hosted by Reps. Greg Landsman (OH-01) and Marc Veasey (TX-33).
In Episode 21, “Air Traffic Control,” Landsman and Veasey welcome Congressman Rick Larsen (WA-02), top Democrat on the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, to discuss the damage of the ongoing Republican government shutdown on federal employees critical to air travel, namely air traffic controllers and TSA agents.
They also discuss the latest on the government shutdown and Republicans’ failure to come to the table to open up the government, and Rep. Larsen explains how air traffic control staffing shortages caused by the shutdown are creating costly flight delays around the country.
Then, the Members react to a video of DHS Secretary Krisi Noem falsely blaming Democrats for the shutdown that the Administration has tried to broadcast at airports around the country.
You can find The Fly-In on the New Dem Dispatch – New Dems’ Substack – across New Dems’ social media platforms, and on Youtube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or anywhere you get your podcasts.
