* President Trump threatened to dock the pay of air traffic controllers who missed work during the government shutdown, adding that those who haven't missed shifts would be eligible for a $10,000 bonus.

Trump also encouraged air traffic controllers to quit if they weren't happy.

"You didn’t step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK that was only meant to hurt our Country. You will have a negative mark, at least in my mind, against your record," Trump said in a long post on Truth Social [https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115526123205979749].

"If you want to leave service in the near future, please do not hesitate to do so, with NO payment or severance of any kind! You will be quickly replaced by true Patriots, who will do a better job on the Brand New State of the Art Equipment, the best in the World, that we are in the process of ordering," Trump added.

Air traffic controllers have been working without pay since Oct. 1.

* Trump also indicated in posts that Americans could be receiving $2,000 checks from the U.S. government as a result of his tariff policies.

"People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS!" Trump said as part of a longer post on Truth Social [https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115519726463094783] on Sunday. "A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone."

Trump referred to the checks again in a post on Monday.

"All money left over from the $2000 payments made to low and middle income USA Citizens, from the massive Tariff Income pouring into our Country from foreign countries, which will be substantial, will be used to SUBSTANTIALLY PAY DOWN NATIONAL DEBT," Trump said in a post on Truth Social [https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115526165519672797].

* Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran said he favors an additional interest rate cut of at least 25 basis points at the next Fed meeting in December.

“Nothing is certain. We could get data that would make me change my mind between now and then,” Miran told CNBC [https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/10/miran-says-half-point-cut-appropriate-for-december-but-fed-should-at-least-reduce-by-a-quarter-point.html]. “But failing new information that’s made me update my forecasts, looking out in time, yeah, I would think that 50 is appropriate, as I have in the past, but at a minimum 25.”
