Damn, they’re taking yet another round of votes yet again. I can’t see either passing, but then Thune did mention that he is looking at bringing standalone appropriation bills forth.

Which is great...but for those bills to get anywhere the House would have to be back in session.

This reality star is a joke. ATC has never been at full capacity since Ronald Reagan fired ATC back in the 80's. It has been very difficult to hire, train, and retain at full capacity

And we know Johnson is not going to bring the House back because why? Well it is the EPSTEIN FILES. Johnson does not want to swear in the newly elected House member because she has promised to vote to release the EPSTEIN FILES. Release the EPSTEIN FILES.

+1.

I predict the air travel issue becomes a real issue next week and shutdown ends by next Friday.

Who do you predict will cave? Will Johnson bring back the House, or will Senate Democrats settle for T-shirts that read "I kept the government shut down for two weeks and the only concession I got was this stupid T-shirt"

There is no reason for the democrats to cave on this. The BBB was a horrible bill for most Americans and the polling shows broad support for the democrats here. I mean, Marge Greene is leading the way on it.

PP here - I think GOP caves. Johnson can't keep the House out of session forever and avoid the Epstein issue or the budget. He knows this.

RE: the Epstein files - GOP is in delay mode. Somewhere there's a plan with different delay tactics. Preventing this House vote is only one tactic and it's running out of time. There will be others.

Dems have the upper hand. Those ACA premium notices are going out and people are missing and canceling travel (I just canceled a West Coast trip). Sean Duffy can talk tough all he likes, but if there's any air travel incident he and the GOP own it. The troops aren't going to get a full paycheck on Tuesday and that's going to start a cascade of stories about them not being able to afford their bills and groceries.

Also #TACO. Where are all the firings/RIFs?

They aren't the sharpest tools in the shed, are they? Hmm, where to find air traffic controllers who will work for free for a crazy administration?

Regular Americans who aren't political mega-donors continue to vote for GOP and Dem politicians and they get nothing; not even a t-shirt in return for their blind loyalty.

There are several hundred thousand regular Americans in the 7th district of Arizona who voted in a special election but aren't represented in Congress because Mike Johnson refuses to RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

this is not a both sides issue, no matter how much you are trying to make Fetch happen.
