The air traffic controllers union stated that air traffic controllers are making mistakes due to stress. They said that yesterday. Before they predicted it. Now they said they are screwing up on the job because of strain.


I flew out of BWI yesterday and went through security during a shift change. The workers were trading info on where a new food bank was located. That this shutdown has gone on so long to satisfy Trump’s whims is simply disgraceful.

Given the Mueller news (Stone) and what that implies; as well as the news about Kushner and security clearances yesterday, it seems to me that, for anyone paying attention, the house of cards is getting ready to fall.

If I am the GOP, I can either continue to side with this Administration, or, I can show some resolve to move our country forward.

Which will it be?

The stress and toll this is taking on people is terrible. Additionally, the insensitive “let them eat cake!” comments from the Administration and GOP aren’t helping. I hope the GOP face a MASSIVE backlash.


+ 1. It’s shameful, and all on the Republicans.

If they do this, it would only be fair to pro-rate the amount towards the wall. A 3-week CR is about 5-8% of the remaining weeks in the fiscal year. So, the amount authorized should only be about 5-8% of the demanded $5.7B.


Does it stop processing of guest workers????

Things were starting to move, after the Senate votes. I was figuring Wednesday or Thursday the government would reopen.

Now I'm thinking tomorrow. Or tonight.

NO money for the wall. Not a down payment. Nothing.

I want this #ssholes on their knees. So they NEVER pull this crap again.

He knows Pelosi isn't caving on it. All he has to do is put a bill to vote that opens the government and he would get a veto proof majority. When he finally decides that rebuking the president in a veto proof majority if it opens the government matters more than coddling the president, the government will open. Until then, yes, he's the one holding the blame.

McConnell can end this immediately. He's the one with all the power now, which means it's his shut down.

I think it's really telling that according to Lindsey Graham, the Democratic major priority is disaster relief - actually helping Americans going through major challenges, and the Republican priority is building an f;ing wall that won't make anyone's life better, and will in fact waste money and steal land from Americans.

Trump making the country safe again....NOT. Maybe we'll see a prison riot or two when all those low paid Fed COs start calling in sick en mass.

Called a ground stop. Happens several times a week at LGA. Delays at La Guardia are hardly news....or related to some work action.
