Travelers to Austin continue to face delays because of a serious air traffic controller shortage that predates the government shutdown.
Instead of continuing their shutdown, the GOP should sit down to resolve the health care crisis they’ve created before we experience a true air travel crisis.

Any deal to reopen the government without addressing the health care crisis which Republicans have created is not a deal; it is capitulation.
This is who would be on the chopping block:
Halloween is over, but Trump continues trying to scare people. A 2019 bill he signed into law after his last government shutdown ensures ALL federal workers will receive back pay.
We will not be intimidated by empty threats.
In his latest erratic move, contrary to what his minions advised yesterday, Trump appears to declare that he is defying two federal courts with more lies and a willingness to starve some citizens.
This is illegal, cruel, and the courts must immediately intervene to force Trump’s compliance.
With millions of Americans facing higher premiums, I joined Foundation Communities, Central Health & The Health Alliance for Austin Musicians to help Texans get covered w/free help to find affordable coverage.
Open Enrollment runs Nov 1–Jan 15.

Following public outcry and intervention from the courts, Trump is being forced to do a little to stop the hunger crisis he tried to create.
Meanwhile, Congressional GOP leaders refuse to permit a vote on a bill to fully fund SNAP through this Trump shutdown.
Libby and I enjoyed celebrating a bday milestone with friends, Sumit and Debasree Dasgupta.
Whether building civic leadership through the Indian American Coalition of Central Texas or advancing innovation in semiconductors, Sumit’s lifelong service has spanned community and industry.
While I've long opposed the repressive Maduro regime, Trump waging an undeclared war on Venezuela, while consulting solely with his GOP enablers, is another illegal act that wrongly endangers our servicemembers and makes America less secure. A US-led regime change war is not in our interests.
A candy message this Halloween.
Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir must be held accountable for their violence in the West Bank. After settlers have uprooted their olive trees, cut water pipes, and tormented their families, Palestinians in Umm al-Khair have been issued demolition orders. They deserve, at the very least, to keep their homes.
Protecting the heartbeat of America means protecting healthcare for each family – deserving of investment, not indifference.
Finally, a president who runs our country like a business – his personal business, with family profiteering at every opportunity.
Paxton is so desperate to maintain the blessing of Trump and RFK Jr. that he
pushes the unproven claim linking autism to Tylenol.
Abandoning medical science for a conspiracy theory-driven agenda means Republican leaders are offering more distraction, more measles, and more harm to Texans.
Many of our South Asian neighbors were forced to celebrate Diwali this year at twice the cost of last year because of Trump’s tariff taxes. Instead of lowering costs for everyday Americans, Trump’s policies have cast a shadow over the festival of lights.
Contrary to Trump’s claim that he is the “world’s best dealmaker,” Netanyahu has broken the ceasefire twice in Gaza. Hamas’ evil does not justify 14 hours of strikes killing at least 100 Palestinians – nearly half of them children. Where is our Noble Peace Prize aspirant who declared this war over?
Trump is adding a hunger crisis to the health care crisis he already has underway.
A President who claims power to do most anything could certainly intervene to protect SNAP benefits and prevent harm to many desperate families during this wholly unjustified GOP government shutdown.
It should come as no surprise that the Trump administration will not save SNAP or healthcare for millions of Americans. Hunger and diseases that stalk small children are already surging after he dismantled the agency that helps the world's poorest countries with food and care, killing thousands.
A GOP government shutdown is spiking health insurance premiums for millions of Americans, forcing families to go hungry, and requiring federal employees to work without pay.
Republicans must join Democrats in negotiating for a reasonable solution that serves Americans' best interests, not Trump's.
DACA recipients serve our communities as nurses, teachers, small business owners, and more.
It's unconscionable that a pediatric nurse in Austin, who cares for sick children, must live in fear because Republicans refuse to earnestly work with Democrats on comprehensive immigration reform.
More ground stops of up to 90 minutes for our Austin airport means more inconvenience and more evidence of our need for more air traffic controllers, since we have less than half of those needed to meet FAA recommendations.
