Staffing challenges create delays at airports for second day as shutdown drags on Travelers in Chicago and Nashville were experiencing delays Tuesday night.

Need to travel by air soon? Too bad.

The Trump, Wittman, McGuire, and Republican Shutdown = not enough air traffic controllers.

Scoop: White House memo says furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to backpay A move to deny backpay to up to 750,000 furloughed workers would dramatically escalate Trump's pressure on Democrats to end the shutdown.

Trump, Wittman, McGuire, and the Republicans are refusing to give backpay to furloughed workers after the Trump Shutdown is over.

VOTE.THEM.OUT.

Early voting underway in Virginia’s 59th District Delegate race Incumbent Fowler facing challenger Konopasek

The lack of accountability continues. As we all know, Fowler does not live in the 59th. He lives in the 60th. He is breaking the law. Will he ever be brought to justice?

JB Pritzker responding to Kristi Noem: “She says that people are clapping. They're not. They're booing her on the street and they're booing ICE and CBP.”

Things to consider:

Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter

Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed

You are a witness.
Expose it.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

Gov. Pritzker: "[ICE] killed an unarmed person just a couple of weeks ago in Franklin Park...They killed somebody...They are just putting out their propaganda and then we've gotta later determine what actually happened."

@lincolnproject.us, this isn’t unusual behavior for Rep Wittman. His MO is performative politics under the guise of being ”a former marine biologist, adopted person, and regular guy“ while he cynically casts destructive votes and sits on his hands. We pick apart his antics. Join us!

@markwarner.bsky.social: “Republicans just REJECTED our attempt to keep the government funded & stop your health care costs from skyrocketing. They have the White House, House & Senate. They could have just kept costs stable--they refused. Don’t let them gaslight you. This is a Republican shutdown.”

Our next meeting is 4pm on Sun 10/12 at The Gathering Place at RVA Around the Table (155 Junction Drive, Ashland).

Our featured speaker will be Prof. Lauren Bell, James L. Miller Professor of Political Science at Randolph-Macon College who will give us a preview of the upcoming SCOTUS term.

Let's make this simple:

Rob grabs $3 from you.
You complain.
He gets scared.
He gives you back $1.

Then he expects you to THANK him.

Yup, when Trump, Wittman, McGuire, and the Republicans take over a locality, they tank the economy.

Republican leadership = high prices, high unemployment, kiss of death to the economy.

Trump's economic promises to Black voters fall short after a modest shift in support for him in 2024 Donald Trump warned during the campaign that Black Americans were losing jobs in large numbers and things would only worsen without his leadership.

Trump fails again

@abigailspanberger.com is focused on economic results for Virginians!
