Sen. Chuck Schumer controversially connected cuts to the US Coast Guard, linked to DOGE, to the Brooklyn Bridge mishap involving a Mexican tall ship. He criticized the Trump administration's interference in staffing and budget allocation for the Coast Guard, suggesting it may have hampered their operational effectiveness. Schumer called for an investigation into the Coast Guard's Vehicle Traffic System following the collision that led to two fatalities and injuries. However, reports indicate the accident was due to mechanical failure of the ship, challenging Schumer's claims about the agency's preparedness and response.
Schumer bizarrely suggested that DOGE cuts to the US Coast Guard could have contributed to the Brooklyn Bridge mishap involving the Mexican tall ship Cuauhtemoc.
With staff reductions and cuts made under the Trump administration, Schumer emphasized the need for scrutinizing how this could have impacted the operational readiness of the Coast Guard.
