As someone who actually travels I can not stress this enough, Sean Duffy is dumb as dogshit and has no clue what airports need.
Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."

I will always stand with California farmers.

But the hardship they are facing today has been made far worse by reckless tariff decisions in Washington.

Andy, we have gone through this in our family. Thank you for speaking so eloquently for millions of Americans. We are with you.
A few weeks ago, my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I won’t lie—it's been incredibly challenging for me and my family.
Now, I’m embarking on a journey to answer the questions so many of us face when it comes to providing care for our loved ones.
I hope you’ll join me.
