The couriers are federal, they have privatized alot of things but guarding the movement of nuclear weapons isn't one of them.

Thanks, I wasn't sure and didn't care to dig into those particulars. I've met one or two, but once I know their job, I quit asking questions. It's really not something that you want to poke your nose into.

What's interesting about the TSA is that it has actually gotten faster this year with the changes they've made...the shutdown not withstanding. And if you are not in pre-check or Clear then you aren't doing it right.

Let's just vacate the entire judicial and legislative branch. That'll really own the libs. Winning.
Maybe libs could put Americans before foreigners and the country before thei corrupt party.

America first owns the libs.

Tell those Democrat senators to open up the government. The elections are over, they've made their point. Now open it up, Dems.
The left cannot kill the Spirit of Charlie Kirk.

I'm in the same boat but I made sure all my direct representatives are GOP and the others won't listen.

Just keep the pot holes in our federal freeways fixed and I'm good - don't want to ruin any tires - not sure the rest of that stuff affects me either way. May need to fly to a college football playoff game or 2 hopefully - by then the TSA will be running or the airlines will be paying their salaries and just up my flights cost - I'm good with either one to be honest- just get me to the games !

Let it burn. Never give in. Keep it shutdown or hand more power to the left. They own this.

For those that missed it while diverted by election coverage, Trump caved on SNAP benefits. He's going to adhere to the judges ruling to release funds.

R's are going to cave overall. They are going to knee jerk to these elections. Trump already has. I would expect them to give on ACA subsidies next before reopening government. They've already said they are going to give on them after opening so they will justify this that way.

Where are you seeing that about caving? He said he'd pay them out if the judge could provide the proper guidance on how to do it due to the legality of how the funds were appropriated.

He said that last week.

I believe D's will now vote FOR the clean CR, and the R's won't cave on anything...

But I do agree the shutdown is at it's end, now that this off-year election is over...I just don't agree that the R's are going to cave...

I don't agree they'll cave either. They'll be renewed in some form. The R's have been saying they want some reform to eliminate fraud and perhaps narrow the scope. If they agree to renew as-is without any reforms, then yes that is caving.

That was last week. This was yesterday and said he would release all the funds that were there.

Quote:

The Trump administration will comply with a court order to use emergency funds to pay benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the White House said Tuesday, after the president threatened to block federal food aid until Democrats voted to reopen the government.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt later told reporters the president is "fully complying" with Friday's court order, which found the administration must use emergency funds for SNAP during the shutdown.

He said he would comply. That article is just repeating what he said last week with the sound bite from Leavitt.

The courts needed to provide the guidance still.

I think we are about to find out over the next 48 hours. I will wager you a blue star that I'm right. But how will you know if I pay out if you win? These are the risks you take when you bet against me.

He needs to clean up his messaging then. He was for it with conditions on Friday, then against it yesterday morning, and then for it again just a few hours later.

Earlier on Tuesday, Trump wrote on Truth Social that benefits "will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before!"

I think you are wrong. I was joking about making a friendly bet over a blue star. I guess my joke failed.

They are against using the contingency funds to cover only ~50% of November SNAP. That would completely deplete the contingency fund which also covers new SNAP coverage for people as well as emergencies, etc.

He is going to go along with what the judge wants him to do, but it may all be moot by the end of the week. The democrats got what they wanted from the shutdown... A blue wave in the election yesterday. Again showing that the Dems shut the government down for politics and that they really don't care about what detriments shutting down the government did.

Gonna for sure need a change to the date from both houses, the one that passed the House only went to 21 November...bet I guess if I need to bet on stupidity the Dems pass this bill on time 16 or whatever in the Senate and then can claim Trump and the Republican shut down the government on 22 November...so dumb

Forty airports will have flights cut 10%. It will get a lot worse whenever TSA and then ATC stops coming to work

I'm fine with this AS LONG AS the only thing we change is the expiration date of this next CR…

Don't move one damn penny on what the left wants for their healthcare nonsense…
