Oh, look. The Democrats rejected the continuing resolution for the 13th time.
The same three Democrat senators voted with the Republicans: Catherine Cortez Masto (NV), John Fetterman (PA), and Angus King (ME).
The vote came after Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced that today is the first day air traffic controllers will miss their paychecks, further complicating the industry.
“I had one controller tell me, ‘my 10-year-old daughter made the traveling volleyball team, and it cost hundreds of dollars. I had to tell her I couldn’t pay the money because I don’t have a check coming in. I have to put food on the table,'” Duffy continued. “It’s tragic. But here’s what’s even worse. Democrats aren’t voting to open up the government.””You are safe to fly because these controllers come in, they’re the most amazing professionals. They do their job, they keep you safe. But again, I don’t want them driving DoorDash. I don’t want them going to the food bank. I want them focused on keeping you safe,” Duffy also said.Duffy later said at a press conference Tuesday, “I think we’re getting to the point of extremism. And it does beg the question for me again, what are the Democrats fighting for?”Let’s fight for America. Let’s not fight for health care for illegal immigrants, illegal aliens. I think that’s a wrong approach. And listen, I spent almost ten years in Congress. There are political differences. Those political differences are very real. And the way you resolve those differences is not taking hostages. It’s actually opening up the government and having a conversation. What can we work out? What compromises can we make?” Duffy added.
Also, people won’t get their SNAP benefits on November 1 due to the shutdown.
Politico reported that more and more Democrats dropped hints that they would accept a piece of legislation from Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) to fund SNAP.
I mean…why can’t we just do these single funding bills? Why is that so hard!?
Oh wait. When you have a big bill you can shove nonsense into it and people won’t notice.
