Trump would rather cripple airports than fund DHS. Long lines, chaos, stranded travelers—by design. He’s holding the country hostage to feed his ego and politics. This is sabotage. #TrumpShutdown www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Trump rejects off-ramp to fund DHS as airport delays worsen

Senate Majority Leader John Thune discussed an off-ramp with President Donald Trump to reopen TSA and end long lines at airports, funding DHS but not ICE. Trump rejected it.

DHS shut down. Airports turned into ICE zones. And Donald Trump suddenly “open to a deal”? Spare me. Fund the government—without turning it into a political weapon. This chaos is deliberate. #TrumpShutdown #AbuseOfPower www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Meanwhile, things are getting worse at US airports

..thanks to the #TrumpShutdown

Reminder: Democrats have offered seven bills to fund DHS, but the GOP refuses because they contain restrictions on ICE and CBP.

Trump says ICE will work airport security unless Democrats fund DHS

President Donald Trump says he'll order federal immigration officers to take a role soon in airport security unless Democrats agree on a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security. In a pair of social media posts, Trump first threatened and then said he'd made plans to put officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in airports beginning Monday if the congressional standoff continues. He made the announcement as a partial shutdown contributes to long lines to get through screening at some of the nation’s largest airports. The president suggested ICE agents would bring the administration’s immigration crackdown into the nation’s airports.

Does anyone believe this a reasonable way to run a government? FAA ordered 10,000 employee furloughs. 14,000 air traffic controllers will work without pay during the shutdown. Trump says it's "going fine".

Troubling, to say the least. BLS — and other US — economic data really was the gold standard when it came to credibility before this administration came into office. To date, there is still no evidence that they're tampering with the data, but budget cuts, job layoffs and the #trumpShutdown will eventually hurt data quality — if that hasn't happened already. When that occurs, markets, investors, companies and the general public — i.e., the economy — will suffer (some more).
