Trump signs order to pay TSA workers after House GOP rejects deal to end shutdown. 'America's air travel system has reached its breaking point' | Fortune
"America's air travel system has reached its breaking point. I have determined that these circumstances constitute an emergency situation compromising the Nation's security."
"TSA workers should begin seeing paychecks as early as Monday. This action could help ease the plight of air travelers, but it does little to resolve the DHS shutdown."
"This gambit that was done last night is a joke. The House will be going in a different route to fund the entire department through May 2."
Trump signed an executive action to ensure TSA employees receive paychecks, addressing long security lines at airports. He declared the situation an emergency affecting national security. Despite this action, the ongoing DHS shutdown continues to disrupt air travel and create financial difficulties for federal workers. The House and Senate have passed conflicting bills, leading to a legislative impasse. House Speaker Mike Johnson criticized the Senate's funding deal, stating the House would pursue a different approach to funding the department through May 2.
