Picture this: It’s the week before Thanksgiving, and instead of dodging Aunt Karen’s passive-aggressive turkey carving tips, you’re dodging… nothing at all. Because according to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy—moonlighting as NASA’s interim boss—he’s ready to slam the brakes on every single commercial flight in the U.S. “We won’t let people travel,” he declared on CNBC, like a grumpy flight attendant who’s had one too many delayed layovers. Blame the endless government shutdown that’s left air traffic controllers unpaid, exhausted, and moonlighting as Uber drivers mid-shift. The FAA’s begging Congress to end the chaos, but with Republicans and Democrats finger-pointing over healthcare cuts and Trump-era budget slashes, your holiday itinerary just got a plot twist: “Flight canceled—blame the bureaucrats.” So, dust off that Zoom setup for virtual stuffing; Duffy’s basically turning the skies into a no-fly zone faster than you can say “TSA pat-down.” Who needs Black Friday deals when you’ve got Blackout Friday flights? Buckle up—or don’t, because apparently, no one’s going anywhere.
