"In Tuesday's presser, Duffy continued blaming the Democrats and revealed what he planned to do should the shutdown continued into next week: So, if you bring us to a week from today, Democrats, you will see mass chaos; you will see mass flight delays; you'll see mass cancelations; and you may see us close certain parts of the airspace because we just cannot manage it because we don't have the air traffic controllers."
"Duffy's ultimatum was the latest effort to convince Democrats to end their holdout and pass the bill. President Donald Trump's administration has also vowed to withhold SNAP benefits from more than 40 million Americans. Although federal courts ruled that the administration had to at least partially fund the program during the shutdown, Trump took to Truth Social to announce that he would defy that order on Tuesday."
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said he is considering shutting down airspace in some parts of the U.S. as the federal government shutdown continues. He issued an ultimatum aimed at Democrats and warned that a week-long shutdown would produce mass chaos, flight delays, cancellations, and possible closure of certain airspace due to insufficient air traffic controllers. Republicans largely blamed Democrats and noted that a small number of Democratic votes are needed to pass a spending bill. The Trump administration vowed to withhold SNAP benefits from over 40 million Americans, and Trump announced on Truth Social that he would defy court orders mandating partial funding.
