The Republicans did not hesitate, saying that they could discuss subsidies after the reopening of the government. In addition, President Trump launched the possibility that some of the 600,000 federal workers on leave may be refused remuneration once the government will reappear, despite a 2019 law intended to ensure that federal employees are compensated after closing.

- 🎧 Democrats and GOP seem to be engaged in a chicken gameDomenico Montanaro de NPR says First. The administration believes that it can resist what is happening politically and put the blame on the Democrats, he adds. The president gave the impression that the leaders of the congress have had discussions, but there is no indication that is currently occurring. Some that caused the Democrats voted with Republicans to reopen the government, but the Democrats are united. Democratic leaders want to emphasize that they are in favor of the extent of subsidies while the Republicans are not.
The Federal Aviation Administration indicates that a shortage of endowment to the air controller has caused delays in airports in the United States The government closed only aggravated this situation. The FAA also had to limit the number of planes it can manage in its airspace to ensure the safety of the system.
- 🎧 Nearly 11,000 certified controllers must work during the closureBut they will only be paid after the government’s opening, explains Joel Rose de NPR. During the last closure of the government in 2019, air traffic controllers reported higher illness calls than normal, which caused significant delays in the main airports of the East Coast and probably contributed to the end of the closure. In rural airports, a federal program called Essential Air Service subsidizes flights, but the Trump administration indicates that the program for the program could run out of this weekend if the stop continues. Rose says it could be important for nearly 170 communities in the country that use the program.
Former FBI director James Comey will appear today in a federal courthouse for indictment for two crime accusations: Make a false declaration at the Congress five years ago and hinder an investigation by the Congress. The indictment occurs one day after the Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to tell the senators if she discussed with the president carrying charges against Comey. During a hearing of more than four hours with the senate judicial committee, Bondi defended his work at the Ministry of Justice and rejected the allegations that his investigations are motivated by politics.
- 🎧 Before the court, Comey should be officially pleaded not guiltysaid Carrie Johnson de NPR. His accusation act only lasts two pages, and it was difficult to say exactly what facts led to the accusations. Trump will not be in the courtroom, but he could be an important character, especially if Comey and his lawyers argue of vindictive proceedings. This would essentially say that he would not have been prosecuted without the hostility of the president towards him. Comey could have a strong advantage for this argument based on Trump’s words on social media and video.
