Damn. I was really hoping they’d take Trump’s bait here.

The air travel nightmare: TSA lines stretch for hours while workers go without pay amid the government shutdown | Fortune

Delays could last as long as the government is shut down, Houston airports exec says after passengers waited hours in security lines.

Take Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport and Hobby Airport, which have seen TSA wait times exceed an agonizing three hours—and even up to four and a half hours in some cases. Travelers have missed flights, and TSA agents, who make an average of $26 an hour, are working without pay since the government shut down more than a month ago.

This is why Johnson's daily press conference routine has been so freaking stupid. He's boxed himself into a corner that precludes any compromise. We've known for a long time Johnson is a lightweight, a man of no principles, a sycophant to Trump. But he's also proven to be an extraordinarily stupid politician.

Remember the right-wing outrage when Michelle Obama proposed more vegetables in school lunches?

Smart. Would be a political win ("why would the Pubs not agree to that highly popular extension earlier?"), and still lets Dems campaign on the soon-to-be expiring subsidies in 2026. Pubs would be stupid to reject this, but who knows?
