Democrats Ground Air Traffic Controllers’ Paychecks, Prioritize Politics Over Planes – Twitchy

October 26, 2025

Come Tuesday, the air traffic controllers of America will not receive a paycheck. That is terrible news for air travel in America.

On Tuesday, 13,000 air traffic controllers will get a $0 paycheck because Democrats are holding the government hostage.

I don’t want our controllers going to a FOOD BANK! The fact that they are having to think about how to put food on the table is UNACCEPTABLE.

The Democrats are holding these people and many other hostage. They could end this today. They are more concerned about giving healthcare to illegals, though.

We have good friends where the husband is an air traffic controller.

They have five kids. The mom homeschools them.

They don’t have the luxury of being without a paycheck. And we don’t have the luxury of being without him.

End this nonsense. https://t.co/oX6nTIcF0t

This is the real story of people suffering because of the games the Democrats are playing. They care more about illegals than suffering American citizens.

The Democrats have made their position clear. They are using this pain as ‘leverage’. The American people are ‘leverage’ to them.

My daughter is in Paris on vacay. Literally in the last 24, the price for rescheduling her flight home to LAX went from $100 to $1,000, verified. Dominos are falling. So the pressure is ratcheting up to end the Schumer Shutdown.

Hopefully, Schumer will end this soon so the American people can get back to work and actually receiving paychecks.

Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
