This second reconciliation bill is a two minute drill. It is the best vehicle we have to lower costs, codify President Trump's Executive Orders, and strengthen our national security, paid for by cutting waste, fraud, and abuse. Republicans must stay focused and see this through for the American people.

Biden spent four years making life unaffordable for every hardworking family. A second reconciliation bill is how we clean up his mess and deliver on our promises to the people who sent us to Washington. The RSC has been ready for this moment, and America waited long enough. It's high time we get this done.

Democrats will obstruct everything we do because they would rather see this country fail than see the American people win. That's exactly why reconciliation is so critical. It's our vehicle to lower costs for families, codify President Trump's agenda, and honor every promise we made to voters in 2024. Republicans cannot waste this generational opportunity to deliver.

🚨 Acting @TSA Deputy Administrator Adam Stahl: if Democrats don't fund @DHSgov, things will get worse before they get better. At a moment of heightened national security threats, the Left is leaving our defenses undermanned and our TSA agents without pay. The American people should not have to pay the price for their reckless priorities. END THE SHUTDOWN AND FUND DHS!

🚨 Democrats spent four years flooding our country with millions of illegal aliens, including the worst criminals imaginable. Now they've shut down @DHSgov, not because they had to, but because they'd rather protect those criminals than protect you. At a moment of heightened threats, that is an inexcusable choice.

.@SpeakerJohnson: At this exact moment, even as we learn of yet another entirely preventable murder of an innocent young woman at the hands of an illegal alien, Democrats are demanding a DHS bill that would eliminate funding for the exact agencies that are tasked with preventing a tragedy like this.

🚨 BREAKING: House Majority Whip Tom Emmer just said it PERFECTLY "If Democrats had their way, THIS would be the story of every city in America. The illegal alien who killed Sheridan Gorman is EXACTLY who Democrats are fighting to protect with their needless shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security!" "Their absurd list of demands paints a clear picture. Open borders, limited deportations, and violent illegal aliens roaming free." @GOPMajorityWhip @RepublicanStudy

Acting Administrator McNeill sets the record straight. If DHS is funded, TSA officers will be paid. It’s that simple. It’s time to end the Democrat DHS shutdown now!

Senate Democrats can try to spin their votes, but the facts don’t change. They have blocked full-year, comprehensive resources for critical homeland security operations and personnel not once, not twice, not even "just" three times – but FIVE TIMES. Americans deserve better.

🔥 from @RepDaleStrong: Democrats oversaw the entry of 15 million illegal aliens into this country and are now voting to defund the very agency working to make our communities safe again. The American people saw through their reckless political games, delivered President Trump and House Republicans a mandate to fix it, and we are making good on that promise. Now Democrats in Congress are the ONLY thing standing between this country and the secure homeland the American people voted for.

🚨 Every long line at every airport, every TSA agent working without a paycheck, every family wondering how they are going to get by — THAT is the price of Democrat politics. And the American people are done paying it. END THE SHUTDOWN! FUND THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY!

🔥 from @RepBrandonGill: Democrats shut down @DHSgov to protect illegal aliens from deportation and are blocking the SAVE America Act to keep them on the voter rolls. That is not a coincidence. That is one coordinated strategy.

🔥 Spot on @SenRickScott: Senate Democrats are saying they can't pay their mortgages without a paycheck but expect our TSA agents and DHS personnel to go without one indefinitely. TSA agents are sleeping in their cars and selling plasma to make ends meet while Democrats vote again and again to keep the shutdown going. This is reckless, it is shameful, and it must end. FULLY fund DHS now!

Over 100,000 @DHSgov employees have gone without pay while Democrats voted again and again to keep it that way, all to appease a radical base that never wanted the border secured or Americans protected to begin with. This is not a policy dispute. It is a deliberate choice to make Americans suffer, and it must end now.

🚨 WOW. Sen. Rick Scott CONFIRMS that a Democrat senator complained he can't make his mortgage payment if their paychecks are stopped... ...while $50K a year TSA agents GO UNPAID. "I've got one of my Democrat colleagues in the Senate said, oh I can't go without pay, I've got a mortgage." "House members and senators make $174,000 a year. The average TSA agent makes $50,000 a year." "He's making $174,000 a year! Do you know what the average net worth of a Democrat senator is? Three million bucks!" "So people in the Senate want to make sure they get paid, but they're okay with TSA agents not getting paid?!" "TSA agents can't pay the mortgage, can't pay the rent, can't put food on the table. They have to go to food banks in my state." "They're quitting because they're sick and tired of being treated like DIRT. It's the third shutdown in six months!" @SenRickScott @RepublicanStudy

🚨 JUST IN: Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) just EVISCERATED Democrats for betraying America endlessly "So much of Democrat policy is in fact based on FLOODING American communities with hostile foreigners, putting their interests above the interests of the American people and weaponizing them politically for electoral gain!" "It's absolutely grotesque and yet we deal with it every single day." "What we are not going to do as Republicans is we're not going to allow Democrats to defund ICE." "We're going to make sure that our ICE agents and immigration enforcement is funded properly the way it should be so that we can continue deporting illegal aliens, no matter what Democrats think about it." "There's a few more steps that we have in front of us to get a deal done. We're going to get it done whether Democrats like it or not and we're going to keep fighting because we're not going to allow Democrats to hold this country hostage for the sake of their own perverse political ambitions!" @RepBrandonGill @RepublicanStudy
