The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced plans to cut thousands of flights at the busiest airports across the United States in response to the ongoing government shutdown. Officials stated the decision was made proactively to prevent potential safety issues, as early indicators suggested immediate action was necessary.

The shutdown has also led to increased flight cancellations, affecting travelers nationwide. Political leaders have begun attributing recent election outcomes to the shutdown, with President Trump partially blaming it for Republican losses and Democratic leaders urging bipartisan cooperation.

Tom said he cloned his dog, which is a pit bull mix, to teach his children the valuable lesson that none of them will ever die. As a dog lover, I get it. And as a Tom Brady lover, I hope people are just as understanding about me cloning Tom Brady. This morning's eye-opener is presented by Progressive, making it easy to bundle insurance.
