"A staggering 36% of TSA workers there reportedly called out today - a not-at-all surprising development given that 'working without pay' is simply unsustainable."
"Republicans own this mess. Full stop. They're the ones who empowered Trump's personal police force - ICE - whose abuses helped trigger the standoff that led to this shutdown."
"The dysfunction isn't some abstract inevitability; it's a policy choice."
"Turns out there's no fast pass for former architects of executive overreach. Just shoes off, laptop out, and the slow march of indignity."
A partial government shutdown has led to significant delays at TSA, exemplified by former Attorney General Bill Barr waiting in a lengthy security line. The situation at George Bush Intercontinental Airport is particularly dire, with 36% of TSA workers calling out due to unpaid work. The shutdown is attributed to Republican decisions that have exacerbated the crisis, including the empowerment of ICE and refusal to support funding proposals. This dysfunction is a direct result of policy choices rather than an unavoidable outcome.
