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...

Trump threatens air traffic controllers, offers "patriots" $10K bonus

Thousands of flights have been canceled as a consequence of the federal government shutdown.

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...

Trump threatens to cut air traffic controllers' pay

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.
