Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy shared a light moment on social media making steak tacos; however, tension brewed at Newark Liberty International Airport, where over the weekend, delays and cancellations were rampant. United Airlines faced significant operational issues, stemming from FAA staffing and technology problems.

This situation highlights the chronic understaffing at EWR, which has significant implications for air travel and the FAA's ability to manage operations effectively.
