Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned on Tuesday that “mass chaos” and potential airspace shutdowns will affect air travelers if the government shutdown continues into next week, with shortages of air traffic controllers and TSA agents reaching a critical level. “If you bring us to a week from today, Democrats, you will see mass chaos, you will see mass flight delays,” Duffy told reporters at a Tuesday news conference held by Pennsylvania Sen. Dave McCormick (R) and Sen. John Fetterman (D), one of only three Democrats who have repeatedly voted to end the shutdown.

The Federal Aviation Administration reported on Friday that 80% of aviation staff in the New York area had called out, a problem Duffy only expects to worsen as the shutdown continues. “If this shutdown doesn’t end now, air traffic controllers will receive another $0 paycheck,” Duffy wrote Monday on X. “Many controllers are not coming to work because they have to find a job that WILL pay them so they can survive.” Yesterday saw another horrible record set: 84% of delays were due to staff shortages.

The staffing shortages have led to many controllers working overtime or covering roles that other controllers would otherwise fill, in addition to their own. “There is a level of risk that gets injected into the system when we have a controller that’s doing two jobs instead of one,” Duffy warned on Saturday amid a ground stop that was in effect at Newark Liberty International Airport due to staffing issues. “We will delay, we will cancel any kind of flight across the national airspace to make sure people are safe.” The shutdown shows no sign of resolution in the near future, as nearly every Senate Democrat has voted 14 times against a stopgap measure that would fund the government until November 21, using it as leverage to force concessions from Republicans to extend Obamacare subsidies set to expire at the end of this year. The Obamacare tax credits were expanded under former President Joe Biden during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the New York Post. In an interview with The Daily Wire on Monday, Pennsylvania Democratic Senator John Fetterman said he didn’t buy his party’s justification for the shutdown. “I think shutting our government down simply because we have to ‘fight,’ or because that’s part of this resistance, I don’t agree with it,” the senator said. “And I think we’re gonna hurt the kinds of people who are at the center of our party.”

Depending on the outcome of New Jersey’s gubernatorial race on Tuesday, gun owners in the state can prepare to breathe easier or bunker down for another four years of hostility. The race pits Republican Jack Ciattarelli, who has promised to defend the Second Amendment, against Mikie Sherrill, who is backed by a plethora of anti-gun groups. The winner will appoint New Jersey’s next attorney general, who has a considerable role in enforcing the state’s gun laws and defending the Second Amendment.  Matthew Platkin, New Jersey’s current attorney general, has consistently pushed for gun control after his appointment four years ago by outgoing Democratic Governor Phil Murphy. In New Jersey, the attorney general is appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Senate.  During his time as attorney general, Platkin has sued numerous gun manufacturers, supported a wide-ranging ban on carrying guns in public places, and defended the state’s strict gun laws.  Platkin has defended the state’s ban on AR-15s and ammunition magazines that carry more than ten rounds. The case is currently before the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, and the Trump administration has filed a brief in support of the Second Amendment groups that challenged the law.  “Although such rifles and magazines are subject to reasonable regulations that are consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation, the complete bans at issue here are unconstitutional,” the Justice Department argued in a recent brief.  Platkin has also supported bans on so-called “assault weapons” in other jurisdictions, and he co-led a brief in September defending the ban in Cook County, Illinois, on AR-15s. In May 2024, he took action to defend similar gun control laws in Massachusetts.  The New Jersey Democrat also went on the offensive, accusing gun manufacturer Glock of making a semi-automatic pistol that can be illegally modified into being fully automatic.  “For decades, Glock has knowingly sold weapons that anyone with a screwdriver and a YouTube video can convert into a military-grade machine gun within a matter of minutes,” Platkin said in December 2024. Platkin has also supported the suing of gun manufacturers under “public nuisance” law and laws banning those under the age of 21 from owning guns. Additionally, he was “thrilled” after the courts upheld a law that banned carrying guns in almost every public place.  Ciattarelli has promised to replace Platkin on his first day as governor with an attorney general “who respects all constitutional rights, including Second Amendment rights, and will review all legislation and policies for constitutional flaws to remedy or repeal them, and reevaluate the state’s position in pending lawsuits by citizens challenging state laws as unconstitutional under the Second Amendment.” Additionally, he said he will veto any legislation that infringes on the Second Amendment.  On the other hand, Sherrill, who has been endorsed by the gun control group Everytown for Gun Safety, has promised to fight “until we fully ban assault weapons” and “require universal background checks for gun purchases.” While New Jersey is seen as a solid blue state, recent polls have shown the gap between Ciattarelli and Sherrill tightening. 

Ben Shapiro urged New Yorkers to consider the consequences as they headed to the polls on Tuesday to choose a new mayor, pressing them to vote for former Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) in an effort to prevent self-described Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani from gaining a foothold in the Big Apple. The Daily Wire’s editor emeritus opened his eponymous show on Tuesday with a plea to voters to see through Mamdani’s “acting” and understand the threat he posed to America’s financial hub — and to understand that even though Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa might be a more ideologically sound choice, a vote for him would likely accomplish little if anything. WATCH: On the show today: It’s election day in New York City. Will New Yorkers commit political suicide? Plus, elections in New Jersey and Virginia could decide the future of the Democratic Party, and Nick Fuentes touts his victory over JD Vance. Watch here: https://t.co/JrWOHVzl0e — Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) November 4, 2025 “Alright, folks, it’s Election Day in New York City, and the question on everyone’s mind: will Zohran Mamdani — the pro-jihadist, pro-Marxist candidate for Mayor of New York, be elected mayor of the world’s financial capital?” Shapiro began. “And one of the questions I sort of have to ask here, is if you’re a Sliwa voter, who are you and why?” Shapiro continued. “Truly, because what is the point of your vote? OK, we get it. You don’t like Cuomo and you don’t like Mamdani either. OK, welcome to Planet Earth, where most people don’t like either Cuomo or Mamdani. But I just, I’m just wondering, what do you get by voting for Curtis Sliwa at this point?” “Do you get one of those hats? Like what precisely is the draw to vote for Curtis Sliwa?” Shapiro asked. “Curtis is fine, don’t get me wrong, and if you’re in a rational city, maybe he might have an outside shot at being mayor of New York, but he doesn’t. So what are you doing? If you take your vote and you put it in the Sliwa box, that is a vote effectively for Zoran Mamdani, period. End of story.” Shapiro went on to reference a recent Atlas Intel poll that showed Mamdani besting Cuomo — but that in a head-to-head match up, Cuomo would be the likely victor. “In that poll, by the way, Sliwa is claiming 15.5% support,” Shapiro added, noting that the same poll showed Sliwa siphoning the votes that would likely boost Cuomo to victory. “Guys, no, don’t do this, don’t do it. It is not worth whatever points you think you are scoring by not voting for Andrew Cuomo.” “Listen, I don’t like Andrew Cuomo either,” he continued. “I think Andrew Cuomo was a terrible governor of New York. I don’t understand for the life of me why the mayoralty of New York came down to the guy who killed all the old people and grabbed ass and ran out of old people, and an outright third-worlder, I don’t understand.” “When I say third world, I mean like as a philosophy,” he clarified. “Like Zohran Mamdani is a third-worldist, meaning he believes that all the poor places on earth are the fault of Western civilization. He believes that the only reason that there are failing parts of planet Earth is because of colonialism, and because of Western imperialism and capitalism and all that kind of nonsense. So, those are your two choices, but voting for Curtis Sliwa ain’t gonna fix that.”

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg got hit with the business end of articles of impeachment on Tuesday stemming from his role in efforts — undertaken by former President Joe Biden’s Justice Department — to investigate and undermine President Donald Trump and his allies. Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) filed the articles on Tuesday, saying in an X post, “I just filed Articles of Impeachment against radical activist Judge James Boasberg. Judge Boasberg abused his power by weaponizing the judiciary against critics of the Biden Administration. As part of the Arctic Frost Investigation, Judge Boasberg signed off on frivolous nondisclosure orders to conceal the fact that sitting US Senators were being surveilled. Not only was this action egregiously improper; it was a gross violation of the separation of powers. Judge Boasberg is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, is unfit for office, and should be impeached.” I just filed Articles of Impeachment against radical activist Judge James Boasberg.

He is shamelessly weaponizing his power against his political opponents, including Republican members of Congress who are faithfully serving the American people within their jurisdiction,” Gill told Fox News Digital in a statement. “Judge Boasberg was an accomplice in the egregious Arctic Frost scandal where he equipped the Biden DOJ to spy on Republican senators. His lack of integrity makes him clearly unfit for the gavel. I am proud to once again introduce articles of impeachment against Judge Boasberg to hold him accountable for his high crimes and misdemeanors,” he added. The news of Arctic Frost broke a week earlier, when Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) revealed that the FBI — with the approval of then Attorney General Merrick Garland — had requested some 400 subpoenas relating to 200 Republicans, and had subpoenaed bank records from major Republican donors, PACs, and even Mike Lindell’s MyPillow.

Former President George W. Bush chose Dick Cheney as his Vice President for two consecutive terms, and they served together from 2001 to 2009. Dick Cheney is often cited as the most influential Vice President in United States history. Sadly, he passed away on November 3 from complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease. Many people shared tributes to Dick Cheney following his death, including George W. Bush. The former president posted a lengthy tribute to his right-hand man on Instagram. It’s clear the two men had a very special relationship. “The death of Richard B. Cheney is a loss to the nation and a sorrow to his friends. Laura and I will remember Dick Cheney for the decent, honorable man that he was. History will remember him as among the finest public servants of his generation – a patriot who brought integrity, high intelligence, and seriousness of purpose to every position he held,” George W. Bush wrote. View this post on Instagram A post shared by George W. Bush (@georgewbush) George W. Bush Respected Dick Cheney For Many Things The former president knew Dick Cheney as a colleague and a family man. He included his prayers for his wife and children. “Dick’s love for America was second only to his family. Laura and I have shared our deepest sympathies with Vice President Cheney’s wife Lynne and their daughters and grandchildren of whom he was so deeply proud. We are praying for Lynne, Liz, Mary, and the Cheney family as they honor a great man,” George W. Bush concluded. “Deepest condolences to you, Mr. President. May he rest in eternal peace,” a follower wrote. “A powerful and influential man who deeply loved his country,” another person shared. Many hope Dick Cheney’s legacy will carry on through his family. “Thankful for the values and love for country he instilled in his daughter, Liz Cheney,” a comment reads.

On Tuesday, Election Day, ABC’s The View broke their over-a-year streak of not having a Republican on the program by inviting on Georgia Representative Marjory Taylor Greene (R). Their motives for actually inviting her on became quickly apparent when they praised her for being a headache for congressional Republican leadership. Despite previously decrying nearly everything she said and did, they made multiple serious appeals for Greene to become a Democrat. With the first question, co-host Joy Behar immediately sought to draw parallels between Greene and them; quipping that she was taking their “job” of “slamming Republicans”: So, Trump is reportedly calling his MAGA cronies because they say that you're slamming Republicans too much. You're taking my job. You're slamming Republicans a lot on topics like healthcare, the Epstein files (…) So, when was the last time you spoke to him and what’s with the tension between the two of you? You may love him but he may not love you back, right now. “[H]ere's something you all may not know about me. I think a lot of people on the left are learning that when I ran for Congress in 2020, I ran criticizing Republicans and Democrats, equally,” Greene said.   Joy Behar quips that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA) is "taking my job" of "slamming" President Trump's "MAGA cronies." pic.twitter.com/vgopyrqPwi — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) November 4, 2025   Later in the show, after Greene was describing how she was trying to protect the residents of her rural district (wanting to keep money invested in the homeland and for future generations), Behar made the overt pitch for her to switch parties: GREENE: For me, I'm unapologetically America first and I'll do anything I can to work hard to save this country. BEHAR: Maybe you should become a Democrat, Marjorie. [Applause] GREENE: I'm not a Democrat. You want to know something? I say this, I think both parties have failed. Both parties have failed. BEHAR: This is worse. This is worse. Sorry, you know that. GREENE: No. BEHAR: He’s still your favorite president. He goes against everything you just said. Greene countered by noting that Trump secured the southern border, which was an important issue for her. “That's one thing. There are so many other things to go after him on,” Behar pushed back. “That you seem to disagree on,” co-host Sunny Hostin chimed in.   Joy Behar urges MTG to "become a Democrat." BEHAR: Maybe you should become a Democrat, Marjorie. GREENE: I'm not a Democrat. You want to know something. I say this, I think both parties have failed. Both parties have failed. BEHAR: This is worse. This is worse, sorry, you know… pic.twitter.com/0aN0TmdKLt — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) November 4, 2025   Hostin was bewildered by how actually meeting Greene in person had turned her perspective upside down. She went on to admit that Greene wasn’t the cartoon The View and the rest of the media made her out to be: HOSTIN: I’ve got to tell you. I'm sitting here just stumped. You know, because you are a very different person than I thought you were. GREENE: Well, you've only seen me in clips – HOSTIN: Yes! That is true. GREENE: - and headlines and that's not fair. HOSTIN: That is true. Meanwhile, last month, moderator Whoopi Goldberg whined about people criticizing what they said on the show; arguing that critics didn’t know the real them.   Sunny Hostin comes to the realization that MTG is not the person they portray her as via the soundbites they cherry-pick and the punditry they generate. She even touts how MTG has "grown past" her conspiracy theories: HOSTIN: I'm sitting here just stumped. You know, because you… pic.twitter.com/ycBy1GSmqN — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) November 4, 2025   Back on Tuesday, Hostin tried to further drive a wedge between Greene and Republicans and tried to grease the wheels of Democrats accepting her by touting how she had “grown past” her conspiracy theories: Now, you've broken from the Republican Party on a number of issues including – besides the shutdown – such as the war in Gaza, tariffs, Trump's desire to expand A.I., foreign aid. But you've also had these clips highlighting the public, very public spats that you've had with your colleagues where your behavior some say is just unbecoming for a congresswoman. And you're promoting conspiracy theories like Q-Anon in the past. But you seem to have grown past that and I feel like I'm sitting next to a completely different Marjorie Taylor Greene. Why the change? Why the evolution? Hostin also seemed to discover horseshoe theory for the first time: GREENE: Well, Sunny, it's the first time you've met me. HOSTIN: It's like you've gone so far right, it’s like you’re on the left now. It's like this [gestures a circle with her hand]. GREENE: No, I’m not on the left.
