Shutdown cancels thousands, jets grounded

3h

The U.S. government shutdown snarled air travel nationwide, causing nearly 3,000 cancellations Sunday and triggering flight cuts and an FAA restriction on private jets at major airports, officials said.

Many Americans are hurting right now because of the shutdown, but caving to Republicans won’t end the hurt.

Trump and his lapdogs continue to assert that they alone have the power to slash whatever programs they don’t like.

Deals with this regime are meaningless.

More Trump madness as he urges any controllers who took sick time during the shutdown to quit. Imagine the impact that would have on a system that is already having to reduce traffic this week. Fortunately, very few people take anything this man says seriously. www.newsweek.com/faa-flight-d...

It's not just the govn't shutdown & SNAP delays. The GOP is cutting food benefits, education programs, farm subsidies, FAA services, wind & solar production, etc - while food, travel, healthcare, energy, & tariff costs increase.

Dems caving now addresses NONE of this!

With some moderate Democrats caving to Republican pressure, the shutdown was all for naught. www.cnn.com/2025/11/10/p...

Air traffic controllers have been increasingly absent from their critical posts during the government shutdown as they go without pay.

Aux Etats-Unis, la capitulation d’une poignée d’élus démocrates ouvre la voie à la fin du shutdown

Cette capitulation inattendue sidère d’autant plus le parti démocrate qu’elle a lieu cinq jours à peine après une série de victoires d’élections partielles.

En échange du revirement aberrant de huit sénateurs démocrates après quarante jours de bras de fer, les républicains n’ont lâché qu’une promesse d’organiser un vote sur l’assurance santé.

Trump in lengthy new post says he will reward air traffic controllers who have worked through the shutdown, punish those who took time off.
