Exploiting TSA officers for political purposes is irresponsible & dangerous—their work is critical to protecting our homeland & national security. Travel is disrupted nationwide, wait times hit 3+ hours, & our brave men & women of TSA are working without pay thanks to Democrats.

Americans are feeling the pain from the RECKLESS Democrat shutdown of DHS.    In airports across the country, TSA officers are again being forced by the Democrats to work without pay—for the THIRD time in nearly six months.

Senate Democrats voted against funding DHS for a fourth time; meanwhile, TSA agents are missing yet another paycheck. This is not normal. For the good of the American people, we must fund DHS.

A blue-state airport has resorted to crowdsourcing gift cards for TSA officers because Senate Democrats are refusing to support the @DHSgov funding bill.   Our frontline workers shouldn’t have to rely on charity while Democrats play politics.

Four different times this afternoon Republicans offered a 2-week funding stopgap for DHS to reopen and ensure hardworking Americans get paychecks. Each time, Democrats responded with bills that not only defund law enforcement, but defund TSA, Secret Service, Coast Guard, FEMA

What works in Washington may not work in Greenwood, South Carolina. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act cuts red tape, increases housing supply, and lowers costs so more people can achieve their version of the American Dream.

It’s ridiculous Democrats aren’t even negotiating to fund DHS. This is pure political theater—at the expense of our national security.

Democrats now see government shutdowns as a handy tool to use anytime they don’t get everything they want. They don’t care if they force people to work without pay indefinitely or if they put our national security in jeopardy. They only care about what’s in it for them.

Once again, Democrats would rather play politics than do their jobs. 25 days into the shutdown and American travelers are waiting hours in airport lines, TSA agents are working without pay, and members of the Coast Guard are not receiving full paychecks. End this now.

25 days into a Democrat DHS shutdown, and their refusal to negotiate is just baffling. They’re blocking DHS funding to force ICE reforms—even though reforms to ICE are already in the bill they’re blocking—while security threats to our homeland are rising across the country.

In addition to the delays many travelers are experiencing, leaving the Department of Homeland Security unfunded is a national security risk. Senate Democrats should join Republicans and fully fund DHS. https://t.co/RFFR3q63N3

The DHS shutdown is causing massive airport delays, with wait times reaching 3.5 hours at some major hubs. Officers work without pay as funding lapse continues.
