Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin believes the federal government shutdown could end this week as Democrats look for an \u201cexit ramp.\u201dDuring an interview on Fox News, Mullin told host Kellyanne Conway that he believes the government shutdown will likely end after Tuesday\u2019s elections, estimating it to reopen either Wednesday or Thursday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere they went through the rally they realize that their base was only more dog in so now. What the Democrats are literally tell us telling us this. They plan on shut, open it back out, probably Wednesday or Thursday after the after the the election after they elect a communist in New York to be the mayor after the New Jersey\u2019s governor toro race, Virginia governor\u2019s race they\u2019re, going to come out, they\u2019re going to look for an exit ramp because they know their lose and shoot,\u201d Mullin predicted.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven CNN\u2019s polls are showing that the that this isn\u2019t good for them. They, they American people, have already been exposed to. You know Congress, one Clark or congresswoman Clark by saying that this is a leverage point for them. He had yeah Chuck Schumer saver days, getting better for them,\u201d Mullin said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHead, centered or coons from Delaware goes out and says it\u2019s uncomfortable. But it\u2019s leverage point in even Bernie Sanders goes out and says they can\u2019t open it back up because they lose leverage, but they also know that need to exit ramps,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n
Mullin added, \u201cSo after the election, Kelly and they\u2019re going to come out in at that point, you\u2019re going to go out there and well that they\u2019re gonna take the high road, they\u2019re going to try spinning and on President Trump and the Republicans and after they get on talk in their way. Out of, I don\u2019t know themselves, they\u2019re gonna, eventually open it up, probably Thursday, I\u2019d say midday.\u201d<\/p>\n
Notable elections that day include the New York City mayoral race and gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia.Proposition 50 is on the ballot in California, which concerns the Democrats\u2019 proposed redistricting map.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy opinion is: They\u2019re setting everything up for this week. They know they\u2019ve got to get out,\u201d Mullins said.<\/p>\n
He continued, \u201cIf they do it before Tuesday, then their base may not show up because it looks like they caved,\u201d noting that Election Day is going to be a real marker for negotiations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why they\u2019re setting everything up to open next week. We\u2019ll be open Wednesday, or Wednesday night, or Thursday,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Teamsters President Sean O\u2019Brien on Thursday called for an immediate end to the government shutdown, warning that the standoff is hurting the U.S. aviation industry and working families across the country.<\/p>\n
Standing outside the West Wing of the White House, O\u2019Brien was joined by Vice President JD Vance and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy in urging Congress \u2014 particularly Senate Democrats \u2014 to \u201cend the shutdown\u201d and pass a clean continuing resolution to reopen the government.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Brien, who leads the 1.4 million-member International Brotherhood of Teamsters, has recently cast himself as an independent force in national politics, breaking from both parties when he believes workers are being used as leverage.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe took a position three weeks ago,\u201d O\u2019Brien said. \u201cPass a clean CR, get to the table, negotiate a deal. Do not put working people in the middle of a problem. They should not be in there.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said the shutdown\u2019s impact goes far beyond politics, noting that thousands of working families are already feeling the strain of missed paychecks and halted operations.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd we have got to think about the families that are going to be affected,\u201d O\u2019Brien said. \u201cThink about when you have to tell your son or daughter they can\u2019t play sports because you\u2019re not getting paid. Think about when you can\u2019t pay your mortgage. Think about when you can\u2019t pay your tuition.\u201d<\/p>\n
The union chief\u2019s remarks came as the shutdown entered its second month, with SNAP benefits paused and air traffic control staffing stretched thin.<\/p>\n
\u201cWatch the Skies Over Rome\u201d: Are the Starlings Trying to Tell Us Something?<\/p>\n
It began with a cryptic warning from famed psychic Mhoni Vidente\u2014just one hour ago:<\/p>\n
\u201cEyes to the sky. Rome is speaking.\u201d<\/p>\n
To most, it sounded like a poetic aside. But for some in Italy\u2019s capital, it felt more like a prophecy. Because what\u2019s happening above Rome tonight isn\u2019t normal.<\/p>\n
Residents have grown used to winter\u2019s aerial ballet\u2014the dazzling murmurations of thousands of starlings swirling above piazzas and rooftops. But this year, something\u2019s off.<\/p>\n
Birds are flying lower than usual. Their movements are frantic, not fluid.<\/p>\n
Locals say the flocks seem agitated\u2014darting in jagged, chaotic paths, screaming at the skies long after sundown. Some have even described a low-frequency hum accompanying their movement\u2014something not easily captured on video, but deeply felt by those beneath it.<\/p>\n
Is it just a seasonal shift, or the start of something stranger?<\/p>\n
The Beauty\u2014and Curse\u2014of Rome\u2019s Winter Visitors<\/p>\n
Each year, as temperatures plummet across northern Europe, waves of starlings arrive in Rome, drawn by its warmth and ample food. By twilight, the skies morph into a living canvas, painted with their mesmerizing patterns.<\/p>\n
To tourists, it\u2019s a dream. To Romans, it\u2019s often a nightmare.<\/p>\n
What isn\u2019t captured on postcards is the mess they leave behind. Bird droppings coat streets, cars, monuments\u2014even passersby. Sidewalks become slick. Statues get streaked. Commuters carry umbrellas under perfectly clear skies. And despite decades of countermeasures\u2014ultrasonic devices, predator calls, and laser deterrents\u2014nothing has broken the cycle.<\/p>\n
This year, however, it isn\u2019t just the mess that has people talking. It\u2019s the energy.<\/p>\n
Strange Signs and Sudden Questions<\/p>\n
Several Roman neighborhoods have reported unusual power flickers in sync with large murmurations. Dogs have been howling without cause. And in Trastevere, residents swear they heard something\u2014not quite a bird call\u2014echoing through alleyways late at night.<\/p>\n
City officials have chalked it up to coincidence. But social media is alive with speculation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis isn\u2019t just a bird thing,\u201d one user wrote. \u201cIt\u2019s like they\u2019re warning us. Or fleeing from something we can\u2019t see.\u201d<\/p>\n
And then there\u2019s the psychic\u2019s warning: vague, yes. But unsettlingly timed.<\/p>\n
A City Suspended Between Myth and Science<\/p>\n
Rome has always been a place where history, faith, and the unexplained collide. From ancient omens to modern-day prophecies, its citizens have long looked to the skies for meaning.<\/p>\n
Are these birds just nature in motion\u2014or a messenger no one understands?<\/p>\n
For now, the murmurations continue, painting the sky with mystery. And Rome, ever eternal, watches and wonders.<\/p>\n
\u2705 Final Thought<\/p>\n
The starling swarms over Rome remain one of nature\u2019s most captivating sights\u2014beautiful, haunting, and increasingly strange.<\/p>\n
Whether this year\u2019s odd behavior signals a natural shift, a subtle warning, or something more supernatural is still unclear. But one thing is certain: the skies over Rome have stories to tell. And this winter, we\u2019d be wise to listen.<\/p>\n
If you were see something bad about to happen or happening, would you have the strength to stop it? Even if you had some doubts about what was going on, but you had that funny feeling in the pit of your stomach, would you act on your gut feeling?<\/strong><\/p>\n This one amazing person<\/strong>, a flight attendant exactly did that! The person\u00a0she saved,\u00a0was a teenage girl, who was\u00a0being sex trafficked!<\/p>\n A well dressed older guy<\/strong> and a\u00a0young girl\u00a0were together, the girl looked like she had not been well cared for, they\u00a0were on the plane together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Oklahoma Republican Sen.
