        The feeling of safety is individually specific. What feels safe to me, may not feel that way to you or someone else. ❤️

        Why have a shutdown?  The whole thing is a big ugly punishment of Americans, just like the big ugly bill before it.

        It's likely more about the shutdown than about Bray himself.  About 200 flights were cancelled from Mon to early Wed.

        Flight was not cancelled. They had already checked in, went through security and were at the boarding gate.
