Episode notes
Shutdown Strains Air Travel Capacity
- The FAA is reducing flight capacity because air traffic controllers are working without pay, creating staff shortages.
- Reductions start at 40 airports now and could reach a 10% cut in high-traffic areas, worsening travel chaos.
Democrats Hold Leverage Post-Election
- Democrats feel they have messaging momentum after recent elections and thus less incentive to make concessions.
- That perceived leverage makes a quick compromise on spending less likely despite pressure from travel disruptions.
Filibuster Removal Proposed To End Shutdown
- President Trump urged Republicans to eliminate the Senate filibuster to force an end to the shutdown.
- Abolishing the filibuster would let a simple majority move legislation but risks future retaliation when power shifts.
