The stress air traffic controllers normally work with is significant and adding not being paid makes it worse. I understand their frustration. This is a political move by the Trump administration to try to force Democrats to accede to their budget and priorities which cut health care and nutritional benefits from seniors, children and people with disabilities. Trump knows that taking away the premium credits from ACA plans is politically damaging to him. I introduced the Aviation Funding Stability Act before the government shutdown that would have kept FAA programs funded using the Airport and Airway Trust Fund during a suspension of appropriations. Unfortunately, Speaker Mike Johnson won’t allow the House to convene for a vote. Addressing this situation as we near Thanksgiving is critical.” # # #	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-06T19:52:45Z
