Show Notes
The Department of Homeland Securitys partial shutdown, now in its 43rd day, is poised to break the record for the longest in U.S. history. The impasse between Republicans and Democrats over border security funding has led to a funding battle, with Republicans pushing for full support and Democrats demanding reforms. The House passed a clean bill to fund DHS for eight weeks, but its unlikely to pass in the Senate. Thousands of federal workers, including TSA screeners, are working without pay, causing long lines at airport checkpoints. President Trump issued an executive order to backpay TSA workers, but many other DHS staff are still affected. The shutdown is causing tension, especially with overseas issues like Iran, and no deal is in sight as the Senate is on break. The shutdown is forcing everyone to confront the depth of the divide on national security.
