Lawmakers, including top Republicans, have demanded more information on the U.S. military strikes against alleged drug-smuggling vessels.

That\u2019s the main reason isolated delays have been reported at airports across the country since the shutdown began Oct. 1.<\/p>\n<p>The FAA went further Friday by ordering airlines to cut 10% of their flights at 40 major airports by the end of next week. Administrator Bryan Bedford said the government decided to take this proactive action because of concerns about controller fatigue and stress that emerged in the FAA\u2019s safety data.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not going to wait for a safety problem to truly manifest itself when the early indicators are telling us we can take action today to prevent things from deteriorating,\u201d Bedford said as he announced the cuts earlier this week. \u201cThe system is extremely safe today and will be extremely safe tomorrow. If the pressures continue to build even after we take these measures, we\u2019ll come back and take additional measures.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>          <\/bsp-liveblog-post> <bsp-liveblog-post data-gtm-region=\"Trump is ramping up a new effort to convince a skeptical public he can fix affordability worries\" data-post-id=\"0000019a-5e97-dfde-afff-ff9fd1c50000\" data-posted-date-timestamp=\"1762524500652\" data-seconds-delta-text=\"sec ago\" data-minutes-delta-text=\"min ago\" data-hours-delta-text=\"h ago\">              <a id=\"0000019a-5e97-dfde-afff-ff9fd1c50000\"><\/a>                          <\/p>\n<h2>             Trump is ramping up a new effort to convince a skeptical public he can fix affordability worries         <\/h2>\n<div>\n<p>President Donald Trump is adjusting his messaging strategy to win over voters who are <span><a data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/poll-cost-living-groceries-expense-stress-worry-cd183c59f034f6e87525675f3ca04864\">worried about the cost of living<\/a><\/span> with plans to emphasize <span><a data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/no-taxes-tips-overtime-restaurants-a8cafab342a569080fabaa27b122b52b\">new tax breaks<\/a><\/span> and show progress on fighting <span><a data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/tariffs-inflation-trump-prices-economy-wall-street-fed-consumers-280a2fd30de3bb44bd87cd0248082322\">inflation<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The messaging is centered around affordability, and the push comes after inflation emerged as a major vulnerability for Trump and Republicans in Tuesday\u2019s elections, in which voters overwhelmingly said <span><a data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/economy-issues-exit-poll-election-2025-6b72dd7ea327d56235c350e84addc8dc\">the economy was their biggest concern<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats took advantage of concerns about affordability to run up huge margins in the New Jersey and Virginia governor races, flipping what had been a strength for Trump in the 2024 presidential election into a vulnerability going into next year\u2019s midterm elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u25b6 <i>Read more about <\/i><span><a data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-cost-of-living-affordability-message-republicans-22511695fd763ccdb6461f7d65fc7a06\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Trump\u2019s efforts on affordability<\/i><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>          <\/bsp-liveblog-post> <bsp-liveblog-post data-gtm-region=\"Air Force One cleared for takeoff\" data-post-id=\"0000019a-5e93-d1ee-adfb-7edb4fee0000\" data-posted-date-timestamp=\"1762523596480\" data-seconds-delta-text=\"sec ago\" data-minutes-delta-text=\"min ago\" data-hours-delta-text=\"h ago\">              <a id=\"0000019a-5e93-d1ee-adfb-7edb4fee0000\"><\/a>                          <\/p>\n<h2>             Air Force One cleared for takeoff         <\/h2>\n<p>Hundreds of flights are being canceled because of the government shutdown, but the president isn\u2019t grounded.
