NPR Politics Chat Covers Duffy's Call for More Air Traffic Control Funding

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has called for more funding for the country's air traffic control systems, the network systems that guide airplanes in the sky and on the ground. The call was discussed on NPR's Politics Chat, which aired Sunday, November 15, 2026, on the network's Weekend Edition Sunday program. The segment was hosted by Ayesha Rascoe and Mara Liasson.

The same edition also covered Democrats' plans for accountability. According to the segment's description, not enough Democrats showed up for an impeachment vote. An impeachment vote is a House of Representatives vote on whether to bring formal charges against a federal official.

The program is a weekly discussion of political news.
