Friday

the FAA estimates 13,000 air traffic controllers worked without pay, most working ten hour shifts, six days a week, without the pay fkrs like Mike Johnson was getting for closing up government. Some reportedly getting second jobs to survive.

For which 12,224 of them aren't getting shit.

Would've cost Trump $122,240,000 to thank them ALL for their service and dedication, or about ONE THIRD the projected cost of his fkng BALLROOM.

So much for 'America first' eh?
