The reduction in flight availability is due to the fact that air traffic controllers are not being paid during the Trump government shutdown.
But guess who is still being paid? Republican legislators and ICE and CBP officers.

What happened, @nytimes.com? Why not stand by your original headline? Because itβs absolutely an accurate representation of this trash conversation.
To publish this at all should be a fireable offense - but to publish it as womenβs rights are being decimated is deeply immoral, bordering on evil
Elon Muskβs new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldnβt notice the difference but the country would.

There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be. We are not wise, and not very often kind. And much can never be redeemed. Still, life has some possibility left. Perhaps this is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something happens better than all the riches or power in the world. It could be anything, but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins. Anyway, thatβs often the case. Anyway, whatever it is, donβt be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.
Thinking about this Mary Oliver poem this morning. Don't hesitate.

Heβs gotta go. He sucks so bad. Millennials need take over the Democratic Party, and Iβm sorry to whoever that offends.
Boomers ruined the βAmerican Dreamβ for us so we arenβt nostalgic for the good old days when white men ran everything.
We live in reality.
One of our country's greatest war criminals just died, the president is arguing with himself about whether or not to let 40 million people starve, and there is an actual courtroom drama about a five dollar footlong.
How are any of us supposed to maintain emotional regulation.
Dick Cheney sent my generation to fight an unnecessary decade-long war in Iraq that killed and maimed and traumatized hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and Americans.
Thatβs his only legacy.
Ask any of your favorite Black women writers from a decade ago why their bylines stopped appearing, and youβll likely hear the same response: There is no place for us in media. In TV. In publishing or academia. For the majority of us, thereβs no place but gone.
