House Republicans just rejected the Senate’s bipartisan DHS funding bill the one that would have ended the partial government shutdown and finally paid TSA agents who’ve been working without paychecks for over 40 days.
Speaker Johnson called the Senate deal “a joke” and said House Republicans will push their own version instead. The Senate has already left town for a two-week recess. Meanwhile, nearly 500 TSA officers have quit. Call-out rates are topping 40% at some airports. Lines are chaos.
You’re already paying for TSA. Congress just decided to spend your money on other things. And now they won’t pass a bill to pay the agents either.
