As Thanksgiving nears, travelers likely will see continuing flight delays even if shutdown ends

Airlines have canceled more 9,000 flights across the U.S. since the Federal Aviation Administration ordered flight cuts late last week, mostly to ease demand on control towers that are short-staffed during the federal government shutdown. Although the government appears to be moving to reopen in the coming days, airport disruptions, flight cancellations and economic losses won't go away all at once.

Trump's Top Economic Aide Says No Clear Job Data Coming: Cloudy Weather For Awhile'

The calculation incorporates the bank's job-growth tracker, which slowed to 50,000 new jobs in October from 85,000 in September, and the government's deferred-resignation program, which will likely cut payrolls by about 100,000 positions. Our job openings and labor market tightness trackers continued to decline, and our newly constructed layoff tracker also revealed an increase in layoffs over the past few months, the bank added, marking the largest employment decline since late 2020.

It's no longer about them. Can I be honest, Jim? It's not about them? They have shown us time and time again this year that given the chance, they will cower. Given the chance they will capitulate. If they can find plausible deniability, they will give in the regime. At some point, we've got to ask ourselves, do we have self-respect? Are we willing to take no for an answer that they are unwilling to be the leaders that we need them to be?

The Shutdown Vote Was the Real Test for Democrats

The eight senators who moved to end the shutdown were not. Their decision has set off a round of recriminations in the party and fury from its base. The reasons are no surprise.
