call out

Thompson called out the show’s hosts in the post’s comment section.

Air-traffic controllers have been working without pay throughout the shutdown, and as missed paychecks pile up, many have quit, retired, or called out sick, resulting in nationwide shortages and flight delays.

The pop band Muna chastised some of their supporters for "spreading falsehoods about us and our loved ones for clout and attention"; while Doja Cat called out "creepy" behaviour from a section of her fanbase.

The shutdown led federal employees working in air travel to call out sick in large numbers, prompting an unprecedented directive from the FAA to cancel flights, which slowed operations at major airports.

As essential workers, the controllers are required to continue working without pay, and as a result, many have called out sick or taken on second jobs to afford necessities, unions say.
