Social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'All Air Traffic Controllers must get back to work, NOW!!! Anyone who doesnβt will be substantially βdocked.β For those Air Traffic Controllers who were GREAT PATRIOTS, and didnβt take ANY TIME OFF for the βDemocrat Shutdown Hoax,β I will be recommending a BONUS of $10,000 per person for distinguished service to our Country. For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didnβt step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK that was only meant to hurt our Country. You will have a negative mark, at least in my mind, against your record. If you want to leave service in the near future, please do not hesitate to do so, with NO payment or severance of any kind! You will be quickly replaced by true Patriots, who will do a better job on the Brand New State of the Art Equipment, the best in the World, that we are in the process of ordering. The last βAdministrationβ wasted Billions of Dollars trying to fix antiquated βjunk.β They had no idea what they were doing! Again, to our great American Patriots, GOD BLESS YOU - I wonβt be able to send your money fast enough! To all others, REPORT TO WORK IMMEDIATELY. GOD BLESS AMERICA! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP'
Air traffic controllers work under impossible pressure every day. The President couldnβt do their job for five minutes, yet heβs lecturing them like theyβre the problem.

What I'll never understand abt "moderate" Dem enthusiasm for risking it all to do a deal w Republicans is that the regime has ALREADY SHOWN that they will act in defiance of existing civil rights & appropriations laws. Why on earth would you expect them to comply with the stipulations of any deal?

The annual Penn Center Heritage Day Parade in South Carolina celebrates the Gullah Geechee people. But after several years of traffic complaints, the parade has been scaled back. Black residents say a new route makes it feel as if their legacy is vanishing. nyti.ms/3LxuAl2

I have never seen an American President so desperate to force children and seniors to go hungry.
Donald Trump is appealing a federal court's order requiring him to pay the full SNAP benefits for this month.
This is as ugly and cruel as it gets.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.
Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.
Donβt forget this.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.
12 days of work in 106 days.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

The real choice Democrats face is not between a continuing resolution that allows the government to function normally or a government shutdown.
Under the Trump regime, the government is not functioning normally. It is already shutting down.
Democrats must not legitimize Trump's coup.

I happen to believe that your elected officials should vote to reopen government AND keep your premiums from more than doubling.
