Yes, you're correct. I just checked the TSA site as I'm about to take a flight tonight, and there's a similar banner at the top of their page, too.
Wait.
Are TSA personnel considered essential?
If... not... does that mean that air travel in and out of the US just... stops?
That can't be right, can it?
EDIT:
ok, they are generally essential employees, so they just get forced to work with no pay.
awesome, security theatre but the kabuki actors are slaves. wonderful.
Yeah, this is on Congress, not him.
On Mike Johnson, you mean?
The National Library of Medicine Nlm is a resource provided by the National Institute of Health nih in the United States. If you are not involved in science, you may not be aware of this resource, but it is basically used by every biomedical scientist across the world every day. This resource helps scientists to develop cures for diseases, to develop therapies and diagnostics. You could even use this resource to find out whether there really is a connection between autism and paracetamol / tylanol or whether that is total nonsense. The way you vote has a direct impact on your health and the healthcare of your loved ones. Make sure that facts and science prevail, and that lies and pseudoscience do not succeed.
