In a time of tyranny,c elections are for the weak. Any genuine true-blue red-blooded Americans left in this country?

wtf?! All repubs voted against this! U think their plan is to kill as many American voters as possible in any way they can in order to stay in power???

The House fell one vote short of passing an aviation safety bill that would have required planes to carry a type of tracking technology that federal investigators determined could have helped avoid a midair collision over the Potomac River last year that killed 67 people.

The bipartisan legislation, known as the ROTOR Act, passed the Senate unanimously in December. But the Defense Dept withdrew support suddenly and vote no for the measure this week over national security and cost concerns, fueling opposition in the House.

Democrats pleaded to repubs DO NOT DELAY THIS. Act to require safety NOW

Repubs responded saying Dems are OVER REACTING to one event that killed 67 people Jan 2025.

But SEVERAL similar crashes and deaths occurred due to same reason in 2025 & 2026

The N.T.S.B. determined that the tracking technology, known as ADS-B In, could have given the pilots of the Army Black Hawk helicopter and commercial jet that collided on the night of Jan. 29, 2025, almost a minute’s warning that they were on a collision course, had it been installed. Instead, the pilots realized they were about to crash only a little more than a second before impact.

House leaders could elect to bring the ROTOR Act to a vote again under a different procedure that would require only a simple majority to pass. But it is unlikely that will happen, as Speaker Mike Johnson and the majority leader Steve Scalise, both Republicans from Louisiana, voted against the bill.
