I remain convinced this is what actually made centrist Dems cave. Not starving people but the inconvenience of canceled flights that personally affected them and those they know.
Hundreds of flights out of major airports were delayed Sunday, including in New York, Chicago and Atlanta.

They just won crushed at the ballot box in part because people blame Trump for the shutdown and this guy's takeaway is that standing up to him didn't work? Cool. How has caving to him worked out?

If we don't test for COVID, then there's no COVID! If there's no flights, then there's no late flights! Brilliant!
If you just cancel flights, then they're actually not late! Brilliant stuff from Sean Duffy here

HUGE THING:
100,000 people volunteered for Mamdani. 1000s volunteering for the FIRST TIME. And they just won BIG.
So that's a massive army of progressives HUNGRY to keep on winning.
That's worth more than all the billionaires' money.
We're going to keep working.
And we're going to keep winning.
