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

@DHSgov Republicans could end it but they’re not

@DHSgov At this point, I favor ending DHS. Starting over after the November midterms and this entire corrupt, p*do loving administration is removed may be the only way to stop the insanity. Americans must do what they can to stop the destruction of this nation by DJT & maga congress.

@DHSgov @TSA Hope they all stay home tomorrow and this will end soon.

@DHSgov Long lines at Terminal C at #IAH for non PreCheck fliers. Time to end the shutdown and fund DHS

@DHSgov They do whatever they want. Zero accountability. Traitors and vile creatures. All of them.

@DHSgov The only people who should go without pay during a shut down should be the politicians.

@DHSgov No, it’s time for Republicans to allow funding for TSA and agencies other than ICE and CBP. Republicans are playing games

@DHSgov The radical right should have accepted the funding of just TSA

@DHSgov Or you could arrest them for obstruction of justice or aiding terrorist organizations

@DHSgov x.com/joycewhitevanc…

@DHSgov Democrats? Not tired of blaming others whilst your RINOs delivered fuck all?

@DHSgov Only if the Republicans passed the save act. Then we will be able to vote without election interference. Stop complaining without fixing the root cause.

@DHSgov @JessieJaneDuff END BUSHS TSA. DON’T NEED THEM. GO PRIVATE LIKE IT WAS BEFORE.

As soon as ICE is shut down, new leadership arranged, retrained, masks removed, unnecessary violence stopped, obedience to the constitution, specifically the fourth amendment, due process for immigrants assured (immigration appeals board then court of appeals petition if needed), and administrative warrants are abolished, I am sure that the rest of DHS will be funded. The ball is in your court.

@DHSgov Using federal workers as bargaining chips has become America’s favorite political sport. Democrats OR Republicans — when your paycheck becomes a negotiating tool, you’re not governing anymore. You’re holding your own people hostage.

@DHSgov @TSA Don’t forget what democrats are doing to you !! Sickening

@DHSgov DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO FUND TSA ALL DAY. Are you even paying attention?

@DHSgov Stop paying them! Why are they getting paid during the shutdown

@DHSgov So giving Repubs both houses and the WH wasn’t enough? Perhaps use the same strategy the Dems did when they forced healthcare on everyone.

@DHSgov Fuck you. You are using DHS shutdown to achieve a different agenda. If you are truly serious, then pass it as a stand alone. If you aren't going to do that, then STFU!!!!

@DHSgov @grok how long have this been going on?

@DHSgov End it yourself Use the talking filibuster Tell Congress to work for once instead of taking fucking vacations every single day and not doing a damn thing

@DHSgov It’s time to remove an unfit man in the White House. That’s really what it’s time for.

@DHSgov No, it’s time for Government Employees to WALK OUT, SHUT DOWN every airport in the country, and stop being used as pawns by a big group of political hypocrites.

@DHSgov When the Democrats are prevented from stealing and cheating, they throw Temper Tantrums and the American people SUFFER. SAVE AMERICA FROM THE DEMOCRATS

@DHSgov NO PAYMENTS WERE HELD UP TO TSA BY THE DEMS. None

@DHSgov You people need to change the model. Airlines need to provide staffing for screening. Then the Democrats have one less piece of the game in which to play. And this is a game to them.

@DHSgov Take a survey at the airport. I’m sure everyone has an opinion about what is happening. Show people being interviewed. Wake up the American people!

@DHSgov @bellausa17 Those working with out pay need to refuse to help the ones stopping their pay. Secret Service walk off the job of protecting Schumer and Jeffries.

@DHSgov It's time for ICE and this corrupt administration to rein in murders, assaults, rapes caused by the funding such an unqualified group of nazi thugs.

The framing here obscures the actual leverage dynamics. DHS funding has been weaponized on both sides-this isn't unique to Democrats. What matters: what policy concessions are being demanded? Without that context, "stop the shutdown" sounds reasonable but ignores whether one side is using federal workers as pawns to push through unpopular provisions. Workers deserve certainty, but so does informed debate about what's being traded.

@DHSgov Schumer Shutdown

@DHSgov Fuck you..it’s the MAGA Republicans who refused to fund the TSA without ICE funding.

@DHSgov Maybe when Republicans can actually get their morels right and what's America First then maybe we can have a conversation about what the People need, it's not what suits the Republican Party. You work for the people

@DHSgov Republicans started it by not reigning in ICE agents and make them follow our laws. Do that and get your money. Simple as that.
