Budget: à l’Assemblée, une fracture béante entre les gauches

Des rapports électriques dans l’Assemblée et à couteaux tirés sur les réseaux sociaux: la fracture entre le PS et les Insoumis s’est accentuée au fil des débats budgétaires, comme devrait le montrer de manière spectaculaire le prochain vote sur la suspension de la réforme des retraites.Samedi déjà, sur la partie “recettes” du budget de la Sécurité sociale, les gauches se sont divisées, le PS votant pour, et les Insoumis contre.Le RN et LFI “ont fait le jeu du pire”, a dénoncé le patron des socialistes, Olivier Faure. Le leader Insoumis Jean-Luc Mélenchon a accusé, en retour, le PS d’avoir trahi la promesse faite aux électeurs du Nouveau Front populaire, leur alliance de 2024 et, plus globalement, les députés de gauche qui ont voté pour ce volet d’avoir “méprisé l’avis des syndicats”.Le débat sur la suspension de la réforme des retraites aura lieu mercredi.Les socialistes, qui ont arraché de haute lutte cette mesure, une condition sine qua non de la non-censure du gouvernement de Sébastien Lecornu, voteront logiquement pour.Les Insoumis ont eux annoncé qu’ils voteraient contre, comme en commission. “Valider le décalage de la réforme reviendrait à valider (…) le report à 64 ans de l’âge légal de la retraite”, a affirmé la députée Ségolène Amiot.Une ligne de partage qui divise aussi les syndicats, la CFDT ayant salué une “vraie victoire”, quand la CGT fustige un “simple décalage” payé par les “retraités actuels et futurs”.Les communistes devraient majoritairement s’abstenir, position qui avait été celle des écologistes en commission.- “Vladimir Ilitch Brun” -Ce n’est pas, loin s’en faut, le seul sujet sur lequel s’affrontent socialistes et Insoumis, multipliant les invectives dans l’hémicycle et les accusations de “mensonge” sur X.Au début des débats sur le projet de loi de finances, LFI a vivement reproché au PS son abstention sur un amendement visant à créer un impôt universel ciblé, empêchant son adoption à une voix près.Les débats se sont encore tendus lorsque les mélenchonistes ont voté pour un amendement de la droite – identique à l’un des leurs – indexant sur l’inflation l’ensemble des tranches du barème de l’impôt sur le revenu. Le PS proposait, lui, de valoriser seulement les tranches les plus basses.Tension à son comble le 31 octobre, lors de l’adoption de la proposition de Jean-Paul Mattei (MoDem) remaniant l’Impôt sur la fortune immobilière, avec le soutien du PS et du RN, LFI ne se privant pas de dénoncer une alliance contre-nature.Cette semaine, c’est durant l’examen du budget de la Sécurité sociale que les esprits se sont échauffés, lors du rejet d’un amendement de Jérôme Guedj (PS) augmentant la CSG sur les revenus du capital. Des amendements proches, déposés par LFI, le PS et les communistes, ont finalement été adoptés.Le député socialiste Philippe Brun a vu rouge. “Jean-Luc Mélenchon ne défend plus les travailleurs, il défend le grand capital !”, a-t-il accusé dans Le Point vendredi. “Vladimir Ilitch Brun, le guide suprême de la révolution prolétarienne”, a ironisé en retour sur X le coordinateur de LFI Manuel Bompard, en référence à Lénine.- “Bataille d’hégémonie” -Il y a un an, les quatre forces alliées se félicitaient d’avoir bâti un “budget NFP-compatible” – finalement rejeté par l’Assemblée. Mais aujourd’hui “le NFP est mort”, dévasté par “les tiraillements voire les tirs d’obus entre LFI et le PS”, a constaté dimanche sur BFMTV l’ex-Insoumis François Ruffin, désormais rattaché au groupe écologiste.Entre ces deux gauches apparemment irréconciliables, Verts et communistes s’efforcent d’éteindre les incendies. A l’image du patron des députés GDR (communistes et ultra-marins), Stéphane Peu, qui “déplore les excès de langage d’un côté comme de l’autre”, mais considère que cela “n’invalide pas l’unité nécessaire” face à la poussée de l’extrême droite.”Ne cherchez pas de rupture”, a insisté Fabien Roussel dimanche sur France 3. “Chacun fait ce qu’il veut”, a résumé le patron du Parti communiste, disant “comprendre ceux qui votent contre” le budget tout en se revendiquant “plutôt de la tendance de ceux qui veulent construire”.Certes, il y a “une bataille de ligne et d’hégémonie” à gauche, qui ne pourra être tranchée que par “les élections”, reconnaît l’écologiste Sandrine Rousseau. Mais elle vante aussi “un socle de valeurs communes très fortes” qui se manifeste par des votes très souvent identiques.A l’exception notable de celui sur le budget samedi. Manuel Bompard a dit “regretter la décision des écologistes de s’abstenir” et “espérer qu’il vont se ressaisir”.

‘Killed on sight’: Sudanese fleeing El-Fasher recall ethnic attacks

As he fled the Sudanese city of El-Fasher in terror, Hassan Osman said he saw ethnic attacks by paramilitary forces, with civilians targeted for their tribe and skin colour. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which have been at war with the army since April 2023, captured the last military stronghold in western Darfur on October 26. Reports of mass killings, ethnic violence, abductions and sexual assaults have since emerged.AFP spoke to three survivors of the battle for El-Fasher, who are now seeking shelter in the nearby town of Tawila. Rights organisations have echoed fears that ethnic killings are taking place in areas under the paramilitaries’ control.An RSF officer rejected the accusations as false.Osman, a university student from El-Fasher, told AFP that paramilitary fighters singled people out according to their ethnicity. “They judge you by your tribe, your skin colour and where your family is from,” he said.”If you belong to certain tribes, they don’t ask any questions, you are killed on sight.”He said the city’s streets were “filled with bodies” when he escaped. “Some were slaughtered. Some were eaten by dogs.”Amna Haroun, from the Zaghawa African tribe, said she watched in horror as RSF fighters gunned down her husband and eldest son.”They killed them right in front of my eyes, saying, ‘We don’t want you here’,” she told AFP.- ‘Racial insults’ -The conflict in Sudan has killed tens of thousands of people, displaced nearly 12 million and triggered a hunger crisis.Both sides have been accused of committing atrocities over the course of the war.Darfur is home to several non-Arab ethnic groups, including the Zaghawa, Fur, Berti and Masalit, who have long been targeted by Arab militias.The RSF traces its origins to the Janjaweed, a predominantly Arab militia accused of genocide in Darfur two decades ago.Between 2003 and 2008, an estimated 300,000 people were killed and nearly 2.7 million were displaced in those campaigns of ethnic violence.According to the European Union Agency for Asylum, non-Arab or African groups represent between two-thirds and three-quarters of Darfur’s population.The Zaghawa, the dominant ethnic group in El-Fasher, have been fighting alongside the army since late 2023.The group, which initially remained neutral when the war began, aligned with the military after the RSF carried out massacres against the Masalit tribe in West Darfur capital El-Geneina, killing up to 15,000 people.Osman said residents with darker skin, especially Zaghawa civilians, were subjected to “racial insults, humiliation, degradation and physical and psychological violence” as they fled El-Fasher. “If your skin is light, they might let you go,” he said. “It’s purely ethnic.”Osman, who is from the Berti tribe, said he himself was not subjected to ethnic violence because the RSF fighters’ main enmity was with the Zaghawa, who are aligned with the army.But Hussein, from the Fur tribe, said he was detained for several days with around 200 men in Garni, a town 25 kilometres (16 miles) northwest of El-Fasher, where they were beaten and insulted. “They hit us with sticks and called us ‘slaves’,” Hussein, who asked to be identified only by his first name for fear of reprisal, told AFP. Osman also said RSF fighters demanded money from civilians — often hundreds of dollars — for safe passage, based on tribal identity and family origin. “They ask where your family is from and set the amount accordingly,” he said.- ‘Simply for being black’ -An RSF officer, based in El-Fasher, who asked not to be named because he was not authorised to speak to the media, denied the reported killings.”We did not kill civilians or kill anyone because they belong to a (certain) tribe. These are just false accusations,” the officer told AFP. After the fall of El-Fasher, the paramilitary group issued a directive to its forces instructing them to “adhere strictly to the law, rules of conduct and military discipline during wartime”, emphasising the need to ensure the “protection of civilians”.Since El-Fasher’s takeover, the United Nations and rights monitors have reported widespread atrocities, including ethnically-driven killings and abductions.UN experts said Friday they were “appalled by credible reports” of RSF executions of civilians in El-Fasher, calling them war crimes that “may amount to crimes against humanity”. They said the attacks mirrored earlier RSF campaigns in the nearby Zamzam camp — overrun by paramilitaries in April — and El-Geneina, where thousands were killed, accusing the group of targeting Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa communities “with the intent of terrorising, displacing and destroying them in whole or in part”.Sylvain Penicaud of MSF, who has been speaking to civilians fleeing El-Fasher in Tawila, told AFP that many of those fleeing said they were “targeted because of the colour of their skin”.”For me, the most terrifying part was being hunted down while they were running for their lives. Being attacked simply for being black,” Penicaud said.

Syrian president arrives in US for landmark visit

Syria’s President Ahmed al-Sharaa arrived in the United States on Saturday for a landmark official visit, his country’s state news agency reported, a day after Washington removed him from a terrorism blacklist.Sharaa, whose rebel forces ousted longtime ruler Bashar al-Assad late last year, is due to meet US President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday.It’s the first such visit by a Syrian president since the country’s independence in 1946, according to analysts.The interim leader met Trump for the first time in Riyadh during the US president’s regional tour in May.Washington’s envoy to Syria, Tom Barrack, said earlier this month that Sharaa would “hopefully” sign an agreement to join the international US-led alliance against the Islamic State (IS) group.The United States plans to establish a military base near Damascus “to coordinate humanitarian aid and observe developments between Syria and Israel,” a diplomatic source in Syria told AFP.The State Department’s decision Friday to remove Sharaa from the blacklist was widely expected.State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott said Sharaa’s government had been meeting US demands including on working to find missing Americans and on eliminating any remaining chemical weapons.”These actions are being taken in recognition of the progress demonstrated by the Syrian leadership after the departure of Bashar al-Assad and more than 50 years of repression under the Assad regime,” Pigott said.The spokesman added that the US delisting would promote “regional security and stability as well as an inclusive, Syrian-led and Syrian-owned political process.” The Syrian interior ministry announced on Saturday that it had carried out 61 raids and made 71 arrests in a “proactive campaign to neutralise the threat” of IS, according to the official SANA news agency.It said the raids targeted locations where IS sleeper cells remain, including Aleppo, Idlib, Hama, Homs, Deir ez-Zor, Raqqa and Damascus.After his arrival, Sharaa met with representatives from Syrian organizations in Washington, according to his country’s official media.The Syrian foreign minister posted a social media video, filmed before Sharaa’s departure, of him playing basketball with CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper and Kevin Lambert, the head of the international anti-IS operation in Iraq, alongside the caption “work hard, play harder.”- Transformation -Sharaa’s Washington trip comes after his landmark visit to the United Nations in September — his first time on US soil — where the ex-jihadist became the first Syrian president in decades to address the UN General Assembly in New York.On Thursday, Washington led a vote by the Security Council to remove UN sanctions against him.Formerly affiliated with Al-Qaeda, Sharaa’s group, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), was delisted as a terrorist group by Washington as recently as July.Since taking power, Syria’s new leaders have sought to break from their violent past and present a moderate image more tolerable to ordinary Syrians and foreign powers.The White House visit “is further testament to the US commitment to the new Syria and a hugely symbolic moment for the country’s new leader, who thus marks another step in his astonishing transformation from militant leader to global statesman,” International Crisis Group US program director Michael Hanna said.Sharaa is expected to seek funds for Syria, which faces significant challenges in rebuilding after 13 years of civil war.In October, the World Bank put a “conservative best estimate” of the cost of rebuilding Syria at $216 billion.

Cyndi Lauper, Outkast, White Stripes among Rock Hall of Fame inductees

Cyndi Lauper, Outkast, the White Stripes and Soundgarden were among this year’s inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday, adding their names to the pantheon of music’s most esteemed and beloved acts.New Yorker Lauper, who burst onto the pop scene with colorful punk looks and infectious tunes like “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,” “True Colors” and “Time After Time,” was inducted by “Pink Pony Club” singer Chappell Roan.Praising her “four-octave range” and unapologetic style, Roan thanked Lauper for being an icon for any artist who may be called “too much, too loud, too eccentric or all of the above — their honesty becomes their greatest strength.”To induct Detroit rock band The White Stripes — known for sports arena favorite “Seven Nation Army” and “Fell in Love with a Girl,” among others — singer Iggy Pop gave an exuberant speech peppered with curse words and his own screeching impressions of the band’s raucous sound.”The White Stripes music was coming from a foundation of love, not revolution,” Pop said.Singer-guitarist Jack White accepted on behalf of himself and drummer Meg White, who did not attend. He named a long list of industry heavies and bands before adding: “To the homeless and the powerless and the forgotten, we always say thank you.” Other inducted American performers included Atlanta’s hip-hop duo Outkast, who topped charts with “Hey Ya,” “Ms. Jackson” and “The Way You Move,” and Seattle’s grunge band Soundgarden, who had hits with “Black Hole Sun” and “Spoonman.”English singer Joe Cocker, who died in 2014, was inducted posthumously to honor his bluesy music, including “You Are So Beautiful,” his cover of the Beatles’ “With a Little Help from My Friends” and the Grammy-winning duet with Jennifer Warnes “Up Where We Belong.”Other inductees included arena rockers Bad Company, who sang “Can’t Get Enough,” and “The Twist” singer Chubby Checker.Groundbreaking New York hip-hop trio Salt-N-Pepa was honored with a Musical Influence Award for their hit songs “Let’s Talk About Sex,” “Push It” and “Shoop,” which celebrate women’s independence with playful sexuality in a male-dominated genre.”These three women are the bricklayers to the foundation that holds hip-hop together,” Grammy-winning singer Missy Elliott told the audience before introducing their performance. “They gave us their shoulders to stand on.”English session pianist Nicky Hopkins was honored with the Musical Excellence Award for his work with superstars including The Rolling Stones, The Who, David Bowie and The Beatles.”That song started off as a kind of slowish song, and then Nicky started playing this samba piano with this percussion, that’s like the hook of the song,” Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger said of Hopkins’s work on the song “Sympathy for the Devil.”Along with awards and heartfelt acceptance speeches, the event featured performances by Elton John; Bryan Adams; Olivia Rodrigo; Twenty One Pilots; Doja Cat; Tyler, the Creator; and many more.The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, now features an exhibit with artifacts and memorabilia from this year’s inductees.

Israel receives remains believed to be officer killed in 2014 Gaza war

Israel said it had received on Sunday the remains of a hostage that Hamas said were those of Israeli officer Hadar Goldin, killed more than a decade ago in the 2014 Gaza war.Israeli forensic experts were determining the identity of the remains after they were brought to Israel.If confirmed, Goldin would be the 24th deceased hostage whose remains have been returned by Hamas since the start of the ceasefire on October 10 that has halted the latest war in Gaza, which broke out in October 2023.”Israel has received, via the Red Cross, the coffin of a fallen hostage that was transferred to IDF and Shin Bet personnel inside the Gaza Strip,” the prime minister’s office said.Hamas’ armed wing, the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades, said earlier it had found Goldin’s remains in a tunnel in Rafah the day before.Goldin’s body has been held in Gaza since his death. Until now, Hamas had never acknowledged his death nor possession of his remains.Israeli media reported on Saturday that Israel had allowed Hamas and Red Cross personnel to search in an area under Israeli control in Rafah to locate Goldin’s remains.”Lieutenant Hadar Goldin fell in heroic combat during Operation Protective Edge” in 2014, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday.”His body was abducted by Hamas, which refused to return him throughout this entire period.”- Killed in ambush -Goldin, 23, was part of an Israeli unit tasked with locating and destroying Hamas tunnels when he was killed on August 1, 2014, just hours after a 72-hour humanitarian ceasefire took effect.Israeli government spokeswoman Shosh Bedrosian said Goldin had been killed in an ambush.”The terrorists emerged from a tunnel in Rafah and attacked IDF soldiers,” Bedrosian told journalists on Sunday.”Hadar was shot and killed during this Hamas attack, with terrorists dragging his body back into the tunnel.”Previous efforts to retrieve his remains through prisoner swaps had failed.”The return of his (Goldin’s) body, after an 11-year delay, carries great significance,” said Israeli columnist Amos Harel in the left-leaning Haaretz newspaper.”It will close a painful chapter and send a message that Israel’s commitment to leaving no soldier behind remains steadfast.”Samah Deeb, displaced from northern Gaza to central Gaza, remained apprehensive even as Hamas returned hostages.”We still feel like hostages to the situation,” Deeb, 33, told AFP.”The next stage of the ceasefire, which involves disarmament of Hamas and administration of the Strip worries us.”I want my children to have a dignified life, for schools and education to return, and for us to live in a proper home, not a tent or temporary shelter.”Her views were echoed by Mohammed Zamlout, another displaced Gazan.”We want Israel’s withdrawal. We want to return to our destroyed homes, begin reconstruction, rebuild infrastructure and schools, and restore life for our children,” he said.Israel listed Goldin among the deceased hostages whose remains it is seeking to repatriate under the ongoing US-brokered ceasefire deal to end the latest Gaza war.At the start of the truce, Hamas was holding 20 living hostages and the bodies of 28 deceased captives.It has since released all the living hostages and returned 23 remains of the deceased in line with the ceasefire terms.In exchange, Israel has released nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners that had been in its custody and returned the bodies of hundreds killed in Gaza.Apart from Goldin, four hostage bodies — three Israeli and one Thai — remain to be returned from Gaza, all of them seized during the October 2023 attack.- Hostage buried -Meanwhile, the family of Staff Sergeant Itay Chen laid him to rest on Sunday after his body was handed over just days ago.Chen, a dual Israeli-US national, was working at the border with the Gaza Strip when Hamas and its allies attacked Israel on October 7, 2023.The Israeli military announced his death in March 2024, saying he had died in combat and his body had been taken to Gaza.”In those harrowing moments, Itay revealed the quiet heroism that defines true courage, the willingness to face unthinkable danger so that others may live,” US special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff said in a video eulogy released by Chen’s family.Hamas’s attack resulted in the deaths of 1,221 people on the Israeli side, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli figures. The Israeli military’s retaliatory campaign has since killed 69,176 Palestinians, also mostly civilians, according to Gaza’s health ministry.The ministry, whose figures are considered reliable by the UN, does not specify the number of fighters killed within this total.

“Creux” et pas “capable de diriger le pays”: Xavier Bertrand s’en prend à “l’amateurisme” de Bardella

Favori des sondages et remplaçant désigné en cas d’empêchement de Marine Le Pen pour l’élection présidentielle, Jordan Bardella “n’a pas travaillé ses dossiers” et “ne connait rien à la vie”, a affirmé dimanche le président LR des Hauts-de-France, Xavier Bertrand.”C’est pas M. Bardella du haut de ses 30 ans qui va nous dire qu’il a l’expérience nécessaire”, a attaqué bille en tête M. Bertrand sur Radio J.Lui-même âgé de 60 ans, celui qui fut maire, député et ministre de plusieurs gouvernements de droite a assuré qu’il n’était “pas le seul à ne pas prendre au sérieux” son cadet – eurodéputé depuis 2019.”Mais je suis peut-être l’un des rares à le dire”, a-t-il ajouté, se démarquant de ceux qui “ont la trouille” car M. Bardella “est haut dans les sondages” – autour de 35% des intentions de vote au premier tour, très loin devant ses poursuivants, selon plusieurs études récentes.”Les gens se disent (que) c’est peut-être lui le vainqueur, il n’y a personne qui ose dire qu’il est creux”, à l’inverse d’une Marine Le Pen qui “a travaillé ses dossiers” et a davantage “d’expérience”, a reconnu M. Bertrand, qui l’a affrontée deux fois aux élections régionales.”M. Bardella, il n’a pas travaillé ses dossiers, il les a répétés. Il ne connait rien au sujet, il ne connait rien à la vie”, a insisté le patron de la région Hauts-de-France, candidat déclaré à la prochaine course vers l’Elysée.Avant d’en remettre une couche sur la jeunesse de son rival d’extrême droite: “L’amateurisme, ça va bien. On parle d’un pays de 68 millions d’habitants, la septième puissance mondiale. On ne va pas nous faire croire qu’à 30 ans, on est tout à fait capable de diriger un pays comme le nôtre”.

Heurts à la Philharmonie: les quatres suspects mis en examen

Les trois hommes et la femme retenus depuis jeudi soir à la suite des heurts lors d’un concert de l’Orchestre philharmonique d’Israël à la Philharmonie de Paris ont été mis en examen dimanche par un juge d’instruction, a indiqué le parquet de Paris à l’AFP.”Les mis en cause ont été déférés en vue de l’ouverture d’une information judiciaire ce dimanche”, a précisé le ministère public en début d’après-midi.”Les quatre mis en cause ont été mis en examen et placés sous contrôle judiciaire”, a précisé ultérieurement le ministère public.Le juge est saisi de nombreuses infractions: dégradation du bien d’autrui par un moyen dangereux pour les personnes, mise en danger d’autrui, détention sans motif légitime et interdit par arrêté préfectoral de produit incendiaire, organisation d’une manifestation sur la voie publique sans déclaration, refus de se soumettre aux opérations de relevés signalétiques intégrés dans un fichier de police par personne soupçonnée de délit, violence avec usage ou menace d’une arme.Le parquet a indiqué avoir requis pour les mis en cause des interdictions de paraître à Paris, aux abords et dans les salles de spectacles.Par ailleurs, samedi, en fin d’après-midi, un groupe propalestinien s’est rassemblé, en soutien, devant le commissariat du XIXe arrondissement où ces quatre personnes étaient entendues, avant d’être déférées au tribunal judiciaire de Paris, selon une source policière.Ils ont rapidement été rejoints par un groupe pro-israélien et une rixe a éclaté entre eux.Des policiers sont intervenus pour les séparer et trois d’entre eux ont été blessés.Trois militants pro-israéliens et un propalestinien ont été interpellés après cette rixe, selon la source policière.Les trois premiers ont été arrêtés “pour outrage, violences sur personne dépositaire de l’autorité publique” et placés en garde à vue. Le militant propalestinien a été interpellé par la suite, après avoir tenu des propos antisémites.Jeudi, lors d’une représentation donnée par l’Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, des spectateurs en possession d’un billet ont tenté d’interrompre le concert, dont deux fois avec l’usage de fumigènes. Le ministre de l’Intérieur Laurent Nuñez a estimé jeudi qu'”il n’y a aucune cause qui justifie qu’on mette en danger la vie des spectateurs”.La Cité de la musique-Philharmonie de Paris a indiqué avoir porté plainte et a condamné “fermement les graves incidents” survenus dans la grande salle de concert Pierre-Boulez.”La violence n’a pas sa place dans une salle de concert”, avait dénoncé la ministre de la Culture Rachida Dati, en soulignant que “la liberté de programmation et de création est un droit fondamental de notre République”.

US air travel could ‘slow to a trickle’ as shutdown bites: transport secretary

Air travel in the United States could soon “slow to a trickle,” authorities warned Sunday as thousands more flights were cancelled or delayed and passengers faced chaos triggered by the federal government shutdown.Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the number of flights being snarled or cut would multiply if the funding impasse between Democrats and Republicans continues while Americans gear up to travel for the Thanksgiving holiday later this month.”It’s only going to get worse,” Duffy said on CNN’s “State of the Union,” a Sunday news talk show.”The two weeks before Thanksgiving, you’re going to see air travel be reduced to a trickle.” On Sunday morning, more than 1,330 cancellations were recorded for flights within the United States and to and from the US, according to data from FlightAware, a flight tracking platform. Airports that were particularly hard hit included the three New York City area airports, Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, and Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport.Duffy warned that many Americans planning to travel for the November 27 holiday “are not going to be able to get on an airplane, because there are not going to be that many flights that fly if this thing doesn’t open back up.”- ‘Massive disruption’ -Sunday marked the 40th day of the record shutdown and the third day of flights being reduced at airports nationwide, after the Trump administration ordered reductions to ease strain on air traffic controllers working without pay.”We’re going to see air traffic controllers, very few of them coming to work, which means you’ll have a few flights taking off and landing,” Duffy told Fox News Sunday.”You’re going to have massive disruption (and) a lot of angry Americans.”Duffy sought to blame Democrats for the high-stakes political standoff, but Senator Adam Schiff said Republicans were rejecting a “reasonable” compromise deal to end the shutdown.”And the result from the Senate Republicans was ‘no,’ from the House Republicans ‘we are staying on vacation,’ and from the president ‘I’m going out to play golf,’ and that’s where we are while people are hurting,” Schiff said.When asked whether Democrats would turn around and vote with Republicans, Schiff, a California Democrat, indicated that the issue of healthcare subsidies remained a sticking point in negotiations.”No, I certainly hope it isn’t going to happen if millions of people are going to retain their health coverage and not have to pay these exorbitant premium increases,” Schiff said on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.””We need to end this. We proposed something, I think very reasonable. It was a compromise. Certainly wasn’t everything I want, which is a permanent extension of the tax credits,” he said, urging Republicans to allow “more time to work on this and reopen the government.”
