Sean Duffy—MTV's Real World Boston "party animal"-turned-resigned Wisconsin Republican Representative-turned-Fox News personality-turned-Transportation Secretary for MAGA Republican President Donald Trump—went back to his former employer, Fox News, to reveal the Trump administration's plan to improve air travel.

But it wasn’t rehiring all the air traffic controllers fired or retired by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), or reinstating the airline accountability requirements that Trump revoked, or investigating allegations of abusive behavior by TSA or immigration agents.

Instead, Duffy proposes bringing back the "Golden Age of Travel"—when segregation and classism meant only rich, white people were allowed to fly.

Duffy posted his Fox Business and Fox News appearances on his official X account on Wednesday to launch the Trump administration’s idea of improvement.

The first was captioned:

"Manners don’t stop at the gate!"
"Be courteous to your fellow passengers"
"Say please and thank you to your flight crews"
"Dress with respect"
"Lend a hand to those who could use it"
"It’s time to bring back civility and respect when we travel."
"The Golden Age of Travel starts with all of us"


The second was captioned:

"The Golden Age of Travel starts with ALL OF US."
"Let’s be merry this holiday season as we fly!"
"Dress up to go to the airport, help a stranger out, and be in a good mood."
"We can bring civility back, it’s as easy as that!"


Duffy's posts were met with the respect they deserved.

Fox framed Duffy’s campaign as a response to a rise in unruly passenger incidents.

But that ignores the FAA’s own statistics that show incidents have been steadily dropping since the historic highs witnessed in 2021, many of which were caused by Trump's MAGA minions rejecting mask mandates.

So far 2025 is on track for a significant drop in the number of incidents reported the year before, according to the FAA.

Jeff Bezos Just Claimed That Trump Is 'More Mature' In His Second Term—And Critics Can't Even

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos sent heads spinning after claiming during a CNBC interview that President Donald Trump is a "more mature, more disciplined version of himself than he was in his first term."

Bezos, discussing a man who has attacked voting rights multiple times, previously suggested he might try to stay in office indefinitely, and continued to make erratic (and ironic) statements about presidential candidates needing cognitive exams, told anchor Andrew Ross Sorkin that Trump is much more mellow and calmer than he was during the first Trump administration.

College Graduation Ceremony Erupts In Boos After 'New AI System' Allegedly Misses 'Hundreds' Of Graduates' Names

Nothing says innovation quite like replacing a person reading names with a machine that allegedly forgets to read the names.

That's what happened during Glendale Community College's commencement ceremony on Friday at Desert Diamond Arena in Arizona, where a "new AI system" reportedly skipped hundreds of students and displayed incorrect names as diplomas were handed out. In one instance, the name Michael D. Gonzales was announced while two women received their diplomas.

People might hope that when they make a new friend, they'll be friends for life. But the truth is, most friends will only be there for a reason or a season, like going to school or working together.

For former High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale, that season was new motherhood, a time when she was eager to meet women who understood the questions she had about babies and raising them, but also preferably women who understood what it was like trying to juggle being a successful businesswoman with being a mom, too.

JD Vance Just Tried To Give His Historical Hot Take On Pope Leo's Name—And He Missed The Point Entirely

Vice President JD Vance made a point that seemed pretty obvious to everyone except him when he, mentioning Pope Leo XIV, gave his take on the historical context around the tenure of Pope Leo XIII, who led the Catholic Church from 1878 until 1903.

Speaking at a White House briefing focused on the possible impact of the pope’s upcoming encyclical on artificial intelligence, Vance highlighted the symbolism behind Robert Francis Prevost, the first U.S.-born leader of the Roman Catholic Church, choosing the name Leo XIV.
