Sen. John Fetterman, a Pennsylvania Democrat, has been the lone "yes" vote across party lines.With spring break travel underway, March Madness fans traveling to NCAA basketball games, and heightened U.S. security concerns over the Iran war, TSA wait times at Atlanta, Houston, and New Orleans airports turned chaotic with more than a third of TSA officers calling out of work, per CBS News. As TSA agents go without full paychecks, CEOs of major airlines including American, United, JetBlue and Southwest have urged Congress to restore DHS funding to allow TSA workers to get paid. Airport shutdowns could happen, a top TSA official told Fox News.The latest shutdown news comes amid a DHS secretary shakeup, with Kristi Noem fired and a Senate committee voting this week to advance the nomination of Sen. Markwayne Mullin as the new homeland security secretary.Despite the growing DHS shutdown risks to TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard and Cybersecurity, lawmakers have continued trading blame in heated exchanges live on the Senate floor this week, led by Majority Leader John Thune, a South Dakota Republican, and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat.
March 22Mar 22 Author https://www.threads.com/@senpattymurray/post/DWKDIBglGwGBREAKING: 49 Senate Republicans just VOTED DOWN our simple bill to pay TSA workers.Republicans have now blocked TSA pay SEVEN times. It’s a slap in the face to the men and women who have been working without a paycheck for weeks.https://www.threads.com/@stonekettle/post/DWKbHJjkdvvTo fund TSA, all Republicans have to do -- LITERALLY ALL THEY HAVE TO DO -- is agree that ICE must obey the Constitution: i.e. they can't just arbitrarily shoot people down in the street or detain and deport people without due process. That's literally it. That's the whole thing. And they WILL NOT AGREE to that bare minimum.So, keep it all shut down until they do. Hold the Fing line. It's already painful for US, make it painful for THEM. Fascism SHOULD hurt.
