@milo The TSA are underpaid, often maligned, and the frontline civil servants protecting us from terrorism. TSA officers like my husband and his colleagues ought to get paid. This shouldn’t be a question. Hardworking Americans are watching their lives go down the drain because the GOP refuses common sense funding bills. Meanwhile, the ICE Gestapo get paid and rampage on.

Call your House Rep TODAY, and demand they oppose any legislation that does not include ACA tax credits, or restore full funding to programs like SNAP, WIC and Medicaid. Use this handy tool.

This is the food distribution line at Nellis Air Force base in LasVegas.
Look at the lines of Military families having to stand in line to receive food. Federal workers and the military aren’t getting paid because of the MAGA shutdown which happened because Republicans are afraid the Epstein files will get released.

-whew- when I originally planned my Boston trip, I would have been flying back today. Glad I came back earlier.
But I'd be happy if ALL the air traffic controllers called in sick and air travel shut down completely. That's what should actually happen. This farce is ridiculous.
“…the GOP has always had the power to end the shutdown. Repubs control the presidency, Congress, & the Supreme Court—and could, if willing, act to break the impasse by eliminating the filibuster. Their choice not to do so—nor negotiate meaningfully with Dems—keeps the country in gridlock.
“Notably, among Americans <65 who purchase their own health insurance, 55% support Dems refusing to approve a budget w/o ACA subsidies….”

This is going to hit shipping/cargo, because among those 40 "high-volume markets" are:
Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky (CVG) - Amazon Air Hub and DHL North/South America hub
Louisville (SDF) - UPS Worldport
Memphis (MEM) - FedEx World Hub
Thanks, Republicans! #GOPShutdown
Flight cancellations are accelerating as U.S. airlines comply with a government order to cut flights because of the shutdown. Airports in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago are among 40 of the busiest across the U.S. where flights will be cut. That is according to a list distributed to the airlines and obtained by The Associated Press. The Federal Aviation Administration says it will begin reducing air traffic on Friday to maintain safety, as air traffic controllers go unpaid and show signs of strain during the shutdown. The plan is to phase-in cuts of 10% of flights across the affected airports. Airlines say they will try to minimize the impact on travelers. Passengers should start to be notified about cancellations Thursday.
Trump et al: Yadda yadda yadda.
America: release the #Epstein files.
Use the contingency fund for #SNAP
Keep #healthcare affordable for millions with #ACA
Negotiate w/Dems
Re-open govt.
Trump et al: yadda yadda yadda...
Trump's so desperate to salvage his justifiably tanking rep & popularity he's now creating & resurrecting alternative "facts" - overt lies based on self-serving opinion & allegations against Obama, "Dem lawfare," eg., w/zero evidence. Ie, distractions.
Today I'm reminded of a particular Old Testament verse, specifically Isaiah 3:15: "'What do you mean by beating my people in pieces, and grinding the faces of the poor?' declares the Lord God of Hosts."
Seems like "Grindr Mike's" new nickname has multiple meanings, and all of them are applicable. #SNAP #Congress #GOPShutdown #GrindrMike
