A recent Congressional town hall turned contentious as lawmakers debated the impact of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) budget cuts. The discussion intensified following a minor collision at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, which some attributed to staffing reductions linked to DOGE initiatives. Democrats, including Representatives Gregory Meeks and Josh Gottheimer, criticized the cuts, citing concerns over public safety and FAA funding. In contrast, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy defended the measures, dismissing the criticisms as fear-mongering. The debate underscores the growing tensions surrounding federal budget reductions and their implications for public services.
