The Schumer Shutdown
Congress didn’t get much done last week. Of course, that is not unusual. The Democrats are back from their shindig in California. Nothing new to report there. Several days living high on the hog while the rest of the country deals with the shutdown.
But it was not dull on Capitol Hill. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was recently quoted that the shutdown would last until “planes start falling out of the sky.” We may be close to that now. LAX experienced a full on ground stop on Sunday morning. Incoming flights were diverted and outgoing flights experienced significant delays.
Significant flight delays were experienced at Newark Airport and also at Dallas-Fort Worth. The FAA issued a ground delay on Monday at DFW until 10 PM due to staffing issues.
