Democratic senators say Republicans controlling both houses and presidency voted down multiple resolutions to fund TSA, Coast Guard and FEMA

This morning, the CEOs of the nation's major airlines and cargo carriers have written a letter to Congress calling for them to end the shutdown, talking about the importance of American security in the airways," NBC's Kristen Welker asked Schiff during "Meet the Press" on Sunday. "Is it responsible for Democrats to hold up DHS funding with the threat of terror attacks looming during this conflict?"

Schiff said the Democrats wanted to separate ICE from the rest of the funding, and offered to do so multiple times to fund the other agencies affected by the shutdown

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Remove TSA until they're able to get paid. Close all the airports.

Demoncrats are aiding and abetting our enemies and protecting enemy combatants. Schitt Face and Cory Booger belong in Gitmo along with Omar, Tlaib, Mamdani and Duwaji!
Take them all to a CIA black house first and water board them!

I remember traveling by air before TSA. If it becomes riskier, that’s on Democrats

Might the Sun Tzu (alleged) quote be appropriate?...

‘An evil man will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes.’

Stop paying Congress until they fund the government. Close their offices.

Yes, but the real concern is will they be held accountable?

The GOP needs another reconciliation bill to fund the entire Government for the duration of Trump’s term. With language that says any dept not funded continues at last years level until a new bill is passed
