Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit. Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages. If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

Venezuela is Trump’s useful enemy
Despite the president’s claims, the South American country is nowhere close to being the US’s biggest drug supplier
