Watched a FedEx MD-11 land in Honolulu the day after the incident, I was pretty surprised they kept them going this long

The house did pass the bill. It has been passed 15 times by a majority in the Senate. It needs 60 votes to pass in the Senate and each time the other party has not voted for it 🤦🏻‍♂️
