Wonkette - Donald Trump’s new Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who qualified for the job by being on MTV’s “The Real World” and later on Fox News, has been in the public spotlight because of Wednesday night’s aviation disaster in Washington DC. Yesterday, Duffy took part in Donald Trump’s unhinged press conference, adding little information on the crash but promising that only the “best and brightest” will now work in his department...
The crash has brought instant scrutiny to Duffy and his first actions on the job, including a really strange memo turned up by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The memo, one of several released Wednesday by Duffy, includes a weird directive that DOT officials should take care to prioritize funding road projects in “communities with marriage and birth rates higher than the national average,” because that will somehow be good for America, you see. The memo also called for upgrading transportation access for “families with young children” as well as mitigating the downsides of transportation projects on families. It also prohibits contractors working on DOT-funded projects from “imposing vaccine or mask mandates,” which is apparently another important priority of the federal government.
