Trump should order TSA to close the bypass line.

That way congressmen will have to wait in line too.

Like w/exempting themselves from commie care, they’ve exempted themselves from the cattle line too.

More and more it’s looking like “congressman” and “senator” are actually titles of nobility.

If elon musk removes the dhimmicrats ability to hold our security hostage he desrves the Freedom medal and sincere thanks from everyone.

Schumer and his cabal are just evil.

Fetterman:

This is incredibly generous.

TSA agents across the country are relying on food pantries and community donations just to get by.

I remain the lone Dem to vote with my Republican colleagues to fully fund DHS and get people paid.

It should never come to this point.

Of course.

Elon Musk:

I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country
