The almost daily commercial airline, military, business or private crashes at or near public airports is surely related to Executive Orders reducing workers and funding.  

Most people appreciate the service of air traffic controllers. Airlines often don't because fewer airport operations per hour limit connections and schedules. In Metro Minnesota, FAA eventually limited operations per hour at MSP Airport due to converging runway operations (CRO) risks. Issues such as public health and safety impact continued to increase:      1) more MSP departure routes were time lengthened by turns and avoiding in-use airspace near other MAC airports;      2) more use of lower airspace at reliever airports (for uses that returned to the departure airport) increasing pollution.    3) different local flight plans that required avoidance whether or not in use.    

Congress had appropriated funds for improved ATC tracking and communication systems over 3 to 5 years, complicating changes in schedules leading to chaotic and expensive 

Meanwhile, DOGE and President Trump have reduced  --and plan to continue  reducing --funding and staff at FAA, NAS, and NTSB. Is the recent batch of aviation crashes the result? Of course it is! Air Traffic management risks include busy-hour complexity, and staffing remote ATC at Intermediate airports overnight involves unscheduled flights, so controllers may be busy when called, unaware of an earlier call or assigned to two flights simultaneously. That was part of the recent collision near Reagen National Airport and of a fatal  crash in Minnesota not long ago. 

U.S. Senators and Representatives tolerate this now an,d seemingly are not alarmed.  Some are even less informed than their constitutes and their caucus’ Transportation Committee delegates. So, yes, aviation safety is not a political goal.
