I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Then what happens?

We got to be getting close to the part where Melania tells us to eat cake.

BREAKING: Senator Schumer just proposed a completely fair deal to open the government. All he asked for is that the Affordable Care Act subsidies be extended for one year.
