Government Shutdown: Lawmakers Criticized for Vacations Amidst Unpaid Federal Workers
The government shutdown continues, with federal workers still unpaid and lawmakers facing backlash for their vacations. TMZ released photos and videos of Senators Marsha Blackburn, Lindsey Graham, and Representative Robert Garcia enjoying their time off while TSA officers finally receive back pay. The Department of Homeland Security remains shut down, with ICE agents stepping in at airports to cover for TSA call-outs. White House Border Czar Tom Homan urged Congress to pass funding without linking it to immigration fights, but Democrats like Chris Van Hollen refuse to fund ICE without addressing last years seventy-five billion dollar allocation. Both parties are losing ground with voters over their shutdown stances, and the funding tug-of-war shows no signs of ending as midterms approach.
