TSA

TSA officers are doing their jobs. Democrats should do theirs.

TSA officer to Congress: "It does not feel great to know that... you're getting paid, and I am not." "Do you see me? Do you see that I'm showing up every day... doing the work... and there's still no change for me?" The Democrat shutdown of @DHSgov needs to end NOW!

@ssilvaaaasurfer You may search for open TSA Job Opportunity Announcements (JOAs) on the USAJOBS website (usajobs.gov).

@Breaking911 Yall hiring ? @TSA

🚨 THIS IS INSANE! TSA security wait time at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport reached over 90 minutes Thursday morning.

The chaos at airports is only going to get worse if the Democrat shutdown continues to rage on. The only way this ends is if the political games stop and DHS is fully funded. The traveling public and unpaid TSA officers shouldn’t be held hostage any longer.

It’s time for Democrats to END the DHS shutdown and stop holding the pay of more than 100,000 DHS workers hostage.

Many TSA officers cannot pay their rent, buy food, or afford to put gas in their cars — forcing them to call out sick from work. At Houston Hobby Airport call outs reached a staggering 55% over the weekend. Enough is enough: Democrats must end their reckless DHS shutdown and stop holding the livelihoods of TSA officers hostage.

Everyday Americans are paying the price for the Democrats’ DHS shutdown. Across the country, Americans are facing long security lines and hundreds are missing their flights — including in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Enough is enough: Democrats must end their reckless DHS shutdown and stop holding American travelers hostage.

Democrats are making the heroic men and women of TSA work without pay for the THIRD time in six months — forcing 366 agents to leave the force.  This loss significantly decreases TSA’s ability to meet passenger demand and leaves critical gaps in staffing, as each new recruit requires 4-6 MONTHS of training.

In airports across the country, TSA officers are again being forced by the Democrats to work without pay—for the THIRD time in nearly six months. Many TSA officers cannot pay their rent, buy food, or afford to put gas in their cars.
 Exploiting @TSA officers for political gain is unacceptable. REOPEN DHS NOW.

Acting Deputy @TSA Administrator Adam Stahl on how the Democrats' shutdown of @DHSgov is impacting air travel: "We're fully stretched... if this continues, it's not hyperbole to suggest that we may have to quite literally shut down airports." Democrats need to fund DHS!

Some TSA officers can’t afford gas to drive to work because they aren’t getting paid. Democrats must end their DHS shutdown immediately.

It is high time for the Democrats to end the DHS shutdown. @TSA officers missed their most recent paycheck on Friday as a result of the Democrats’ DHS shutdown — for the THIRD time in nearly six months. As Americans across the nation face hours-long wait times at airports, Democrats continue to play political games while @TSA officers and travelers pay the highest price.

SHOCKINGLY long lines at Fort Lauderdale International Airport. Security lines in Fort Lauderdale stretched out the DOOR this morning as Democrats continue to force our patriotic TSA officers to work without pay — for the THIRD time in nearly six months.

Lines are growing at Newark airport as a result of the partial government shutdown, as TSA officer call-out rates climb into double-digit percentages at some airports. This comes after President Trump thanked TSA agents for going to work but "not being paid" and blamed the radical left in a social media post Saturday for refusing "to honor the deal that was approved and voted on in Congress." He directed portions of the post to TSA agents and said, "Keep fighting for the USA. GO TO WORK! I promise that I will never forget you!!!" His post came hours after the first full missed paycheck for TSA agents, which was expected on Friday.

The Democrats’ DHS shutdown has forced TSA employees to work without pay three times in nearly six months, and now agents are leaving the force—with more than 300 agents quitting since the start of the shutdown. It’s time for Democrats to end these political games, pay our TSA officers, and reopen DHS.

It’s time for Democrats to end their DHS shutdown and pay our @TSA agents.

3+ hour TSA lines for travelers. 300+ TSA officers who have quit. A $0 paycheck for those continuing to serve. Enough is enough. No more playing politics with the lives of Americans. The Democrat shutdown of DHS must end now.

Democrats Block DHS Reopening as TSA Lines Grow Longer dailysignal.com/2026/03/12/dem…

Democrats continue to play political games with the livelihoods of our TSA officers and their families.   It’s time for them to end their shutdown and pay our TSA agents.

Americans are feeling the pain from the RECKLESS Democrat shutdown of DHS.    In airports across the country, TSA officers are again being forced by the Democrats to work without pay—for the THIRD time in nearly six months.
