causing missed flights and massive delays during peak travel.

This chaos is a direct result of Democrats and their refusal to fund DHS. These political stunts force patriotic TSA officers, who protect our skies from serious threats, to work without pay.

These frontline heroes received only partial paychecks earlier this month and now face their first full missed paycheck, leading to financial hardship, absences, and crippling staffing shortages.

Democrats are shamelessly playing politics with national security, punishing hardworking TSA workers and their families.

Enough is enough: stop holding national security and everyday Americans hostage. Democrats must fund DHS now.

The TSA falls under the subsuming auspices of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. It has done a lot of work under the mission of protecting "the nation's transportation systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce."
