Show Notes
As the Department of Homeland Security shutdown enters its 43rd day, lawmakers remain deadlocked over funding, particularly for immigration enforcement agencies. The House passed an 8-week funding bill, but Republicans accuse Democrats of wanting to defund border security, while Democrats insist on reforms before signing off. The real impact is felt by federal workers, like TSA officers working without pay, leading to long airport lines. President Trump issued an executive order to pay TSA workers, but other DHS employees are still affected. With no deal in sight and the Senate on recess, the shutdown continues, likely breaking the record any day now.
