“Airspace closures are yet another dangerous consequence of this reckless Republican shutdown. I’m ready to negotiate, but for that to happen, House Republicans need to stop playing games, come to the table, and work with Democrats to reopen the government. Enough is enough. I’m calling on Speaker Johnson to stop canceling votes, end the extended recesses, and sit down with Democrats to do his job.
