The Federal Aviation Administration will reduce flights at dozens of major airports as early as Friday if no shutdown deal is reached, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced at a news conference Wednesday.
Ten percent of air traffic at 40 busy airports would be cut, potentially impacting thousands of flights, though the details of how many and which specific airports will be cut was not announced.
That reminds me, I need to call my Senators. I have one from each party. I tell the ® how much the shutdown is hurting me and my entire extended family and tell them I want them to end the shutdown even if it means giving the Democrats everything they want. Then I call the (D) and tell them that I know they’re under pressure to end the shutdown but me and my entire extended family have talked it over and we really really need them to stand firm about Medicaid money and access, ACA premiums, food stamps access, etc.
It’s a fun game I’ve been playing every week, and I encourage y’all to join in!
