βThey control everythingβ: How the Dallas Stars monopolized Texas youth hockey

There's been a lot of news about this DOT Inspector General audit of the Newark airspace relocation. Several publications have referred to it as a decision made by President Biden, and Transportation Sec. Duffy has criticized the previous admin for mistakes.
