Democrats are grandstanding while American workers worry

Democrats know ICE is already funded, but they voted to shut down the Department of Homeland Security — halting funding for critical agencies like FEMA, TSA, and the Coast Guard anyway.

Hear from hardworking Americans who are worried about what this second Democrat shutdown means:

• TSA employee Tanja Fowler: "To constantly be put back and forth through this 'well we're going to get paid, not get paid' but yet we're expected to show up for our jobs."
• Tri-Cities Airport Authority President Gene Cossey: "The obvious problem would be if TSA loses employees…that’s not just a problem we will have here locally, it’s a problem that everybody will have across the country."
• TSA Agent Andrew Cardoza: “For me eventually it’s going to come down to do I put gas in the car to go to work for free? Or do I put food on the table with that money, for my kid?”⁩
• American Federation of Government Employees local Vice President Joseph Groover: “It’s taxing and it’s exhausting…there were people that finally just got their pay sorted…”
• TSA employee: “Rent’s due, mortgage is due, and all these bills are due at the beginning of the month and so that’s when it really hits home.”
• TSA employee: The “shutdown is already impacting them, and some employees are already calling out of work."⁩

Americans are still recovering from a 43-day government shutdown — the longest in American history — that Democrats repeatedly voted for and got nothing from.

This is just another repeat.
