‘I believe we’re headed to a shutdown,’ says JD Vance as Mike Johnson requires extra time for negotiations – reside | Trump administration

How do US federal authorities shutdowns sometimes work—and what makes the pending shutdown on 1 October very completely different?

My colleague Lauren Gambino breaks it down:

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is at the moment about 3,800 air site visitors controllers in need of focused staffing ranges, and the looming federal authorities shutdown may worsen that drawback, Reuters stories.

Lots of of air site visitors management trainees on the FAA Academy in Oklahoma Metropolis may be furloughed “inflicting vital delays within the coaching pipeline and worsen the continuing air site visitors controller staffing disaster,” the Nationwide Air Visitors Controllers Affiliation mentioned.

Aviation unions, producers, airports and different aviation teams individually warned in a letter that shutdowns drive the FAA to “droop air site visitors controller and technician hiring and coaching, delay the implementation of security initiatives, postpone upkeep and restore work to important air site visitors gear, droop air provider pilot verify rides, delay airworthy inspections for plane, defer the evaluation of voluntary security reporting, and droop work on modernization packages.”

Lt. Col. George Hardy, the youngest fighter pilot of the Tuskegee Airmen, the nation’s first Black army pilots, has died. He was 100, the Related Press stories.

“His legacy is one in all braveness, resilience, great talent and dogged perseverance towards racism, prejudice and different evils,” Tuskegee Airmen Inc. mentioned in a Fb publish. Hardy was the final surviving fight pilot of the Tuskegee Airmen who went abroad.

Amid President Donald Trump’s makes an attempt to purge federal range, fairness and inclusion packages, the Air Drive hadremoved coaching programs with movies of the Tuskegee Airmen and the Ladies Airforce Service Pilots, or WASPs, in January. They later restored them after bipartisan criticism.

The approaching shutdown might be completely different from previous authorities closures as a result of the Trump administration has threatened mass firings of federal workers, including that it may use the lapse in funding to downsize the federal authorities, Reuters stories.

The Workplace of Personnel Administration in a Monday memo mentioned whereas coaching and onboarding of latest federal workers will not be allowed beneath the regulation dictating the parameters of a shutdown, the staff who oversee any firings are to proceed their work. In contrast to in previous shutdowns, furloughed federal workers may even be allowed to make use of their government-issued computer systems to verify for layoff notices of their electronic mail, in accordance with OPM.

“This outrageous plan threatens to trigger lasting injury to the nation and the protection of the American folks by mass firing nonpartisan, professional civil servants and probably even eliminating authorities companies,” Senator Gary Peters of Michigan, the highest Democrat on the Senate committee that oversees shutdown operations, mentioned in a letter to the administration.

British prime minister Keir Starmer on Monday welcomed Donald Trump’s efforts to finish the battle in Gaza with a brand new plan, Reuters stories.

“We name on all sides to come back collectively and to work with the US administration to finalise this settlement and produce it into actuality,” Starmer mentioned. “Hamas ought to now comply with the plan and finish the distress, by laying down their arms and releasing all remaining hostages.”

Vp JD Vance simply argued that it was “preposterous” that Democrats have been persevering with to demand an extension of healthcare funding subsidies throughout negotiations over a looming authorities shutdown.

“Now they arrive in right here and say: ‘in the event you don’t give us the whole lot we would like we’re going to close down the federal government.’ It’s preposterous,” Vance mentioned after a White Home assembly with Democratic congressional leaders, Semafor reported.

However Vance himself beforehand campaigned on precisely this type of “preposterous” negotiating tactic, Semafor’s congressional bureau chief famous.

At at present’s assembly on the federal government shutdown, Trump was extra focused on negotiating than Republican leaders, PunchbowlNews stories:

Meanwhile, this was Democratic leaders’ message to reporters:

Democratic advocacy groups are not keen on the idea of a one-week continuing resolution to temporarily keep the government open for more negotiations, HuffPost reports:

Airlines warn that government shutdown will slow flights

Mike Johnson wants more time for negotiations as JD Vance blames Democrat over potential shutdown

The upshot of Schumer’s meeting with Trump over the government shutdown, the senate minority leaders said: “We have very large differences,” the Huffington Post reports.

My colleague David Smith has a recap of Trump and Netanyahu’s peace proposal “press conference,” at which the leaders did not answer questions from the press:

Donald Trump and the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu have delivered an ultimatum to Hamas, warning the militant group to accept their 20-point peace plan for Gaza or face the consequences.

The two leaders met at the White House in Washington on Monday then held a joint press briefing in which they hailed their proposal as a historic breakthrough and new chapter for the Middle East.

But it was clear that Hamas had not been consulted and its position on the terms remained uncertain.

Both Trump and Netanyahu made clear that they were not offering Hamas a choice in the matter. If the group refused, Trump told reporters, “Israel would have my full backing to finish the job of destroying the threat of Hamas.

Two attorneys in the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) anti-discrimination division said they were fired on Monday, a week after going public with a whistleblower report alleging that the Trump administration had dismantled efforts to combat residential segregation, my colleague Chris Stein reports.

As Trump heads to a meeting with Congressional leaders over the looming government shutdown, Axios has reported on one potential deal under discussion:

How does Donald Trump’s peace plan for Gaza stands out from previous ceasefire proposals? For the first time, it tries to outline the key question of how the territory will be ruled after the war, the Associated Press explains:

• The proposal would effectively put the territory and its more than 2 million people under international control. It calls for deploying an international security force and installing a “Board of Peace” headed by Trump and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair to oversee Gaza’s administration and reconstruction.

  Hamas faces a bitter tradeoff — the proposal demands it effectively surrender in return for uncertain gains. The militant group would have to disarm in return for an end to fighting, humanitarian aid for Palestinians, and the promise of reconstruction in Gaza – all desperately hoped for by its population.

  But the proposal has only a vague promise that some day, perhaps, Palestinian statehood might be possible. For the foreseeable future, Gaza would stay under a sort of international tutelage and would remain surrounded by Israeli troops.

Senate majority leader John Thune told reporters before heading to the White House that he believes “there will be multiple opportunities to vote on keeping the government open” if they can’t do so tomorrow.

“I would expect additional opportunities,” he said.
