Show Notes
Pressure mounts on Congress to end the government shutdown, with TSA workers striking due to unpaid wages, causing massive airport delays and a surge in quit rates. The core dispute revolves around funding President Trumps immigration crackdown, particularly ICE enforcement operations, while most of Homeland Security remains unfunded. Senators plan a Thursday vote on a Republican plan to cover TSA and parts of the department, but its unlikely to pass due to Democratic opposition. Travelers face long security waits, with assaults on TSA officers surging. Trump warns of National Guard troops at airports and increased ICE ID checks if talks fail. As Congress nears its spring recess, leaders push for a stopgap deal to ease TSA strains and protect jobs.
