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.

@DHSgov You might try telling Republicans enough is enough: Nuke the filibuster.

@DHSgov @WhiteHouse Nope let them all go on strike sure travel will be halted by air but when Congress is affected because they can’t get on a plane to fly then they will have no choice but to fund them.

There's a TSA agent at your airport right now who hasn't been paid in a month, who was told their job is "essential," and who is scanning bags at 5 AM because they haven't found another option yet. "Essential" was supposed to be a mark of importance. Instead, it became a structural trap: too critical to stop, not valuable enough to invest in. That gap between the word and the reality is showing up in the 366 who already walked away — and the thousands more running the math on whether they can afford next month.

@DHSgov You will never convince government to give it TSA. And TSA is unionized. Privatize airport security. That avenue might work.

@DHSgov Make Senators stand in these lines.

@DHSgov Do you have any other recourse other than strongly worded posts on X?

@DHSgov If you can't afford to buy the gas to get to the work then there's a problem. Not to mention not being able to pay your mortgage or buy food.

@DHSgov REPUBLICANS HAVE THE MAJORITY

@DHSgov @WhiteHouse As bad as Australian politics is, the American system is far worse! No opposition party should have the power to shut down anything.

@DHSgov @WhiteHouse Trump needs to step down and let VP Vance take over and clear this mess up

@DHSgov @WhiteHouse Fuck @TheDemocrats @HouseDemocrats @SenateDems What a “full of shit” bunch they have become

@DHSgov @WhiteHouse @TSA Start treating politicians how they have treated you. Keep them here to do their job. If you’re not working they can’t fly home.

@DHSgov 55% callout rate because people can’t pay rent or buy groceries during a shutdown you’re helping cause… but sure, blame the other party. Classic

@DHSgov Lies the GOP keeps blocking bills to pay them

@DHSgov THIS IS ALL BULLSHIT THE TSA MUST BE MOSTLY DEMOCRATS BECAUSE WHAT THEY'RE DOING BY NOT COMING TO WORK CLAIMING THEY'RE STARVING TO DEATH IS ALLOWING TERRORISTS INTO OUR COUNTRY! IF A BOMB GOES OFF THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA SHOULD FIRE EVERY TSA EMPLOYEE!! EVERY SINGLE ONE!!

@DHSgov Give them $1776.00 and $2026.00 after these families have endured Democrat terror. These individuals have seemed to show up! Thank you TSA!

@DHSgov AND YOUR BILLIONAIRE PRESIDENT DOES NOTHING TO HELP. WALK OFF THE JOB IMMEDIATELY

@DHSgov Simple pass the bill that will pay then immediately. Problem solved!

@DHSgov Tell the people in charge of the House, Senate, and Presidency. Thanks.

@DHSgov Republicans must vote to immediately fund TSA by supporting Democrats offer to fund TSA agents salaries. If you actually gave a shit about TSA agents you would work to immediately accept funding.

@DHSgov Bring ICE into the airports. I bet DEMS change their vote ASAP!!

@DHSgov @WhiteHouse As an American citizen, im gonna remember what Democrats did concerning the safety of Americans.💔🇺🇲

@DHSgov Attach the SAVE America Act to the DHS re-funding bill. Play the Dems own games back at them.

@DHSgov @TSA Fckn lies facebook.com/share/v/1B3118…

@DHSgov No special treatment. They can ride the line the rest of us.

@DHSgov Remember this when voting.

@DHSgov Maybe Kristi Noem can give out rides on our horses we paid $220 MILLION DOLLARS on out of the DHS budget.

@DHSgov It’s Chuck Schumer and his band of Democrats.

@DHSgov It's not that easy anymore now that the Save Act has entered the equation. Now both sides have things they want stopping this. However, I'm sure one party will put it aside to pay these people.

@DHSgov Thats wrong.-Many good employees that brought good vibes daily. The minute their pay stops it should keep going in the background/back pay.

@DHSgov Nuke the filibuster and approve funding right away. GOP senate you can stop this right now instead of letting this chaos continue resulting in airport closures and serious security problems.

@DHSgov In Georgia, we have @ossoff and @ReverendWarnock to thank for our misery and the suffering of federal employees.

Your department is supposed to be nonpartisan. So, you’ve shown your true lying colors. The Dems have tried but your boss is pushing a biased and racist agenda for voting that’s woven into this whole funding issue. And, the Dems have tried at least 5 times to get the budget passed, but Republicans refuse. Stop the lies.

@DHSgov We should put out tip jars for agents working and let Americans help them for working through

Many Americans have FBI background checks and fingerprints on file as part of their occupational licensing, such as police, teachers, physicians etc. These people should be exempt from the groping In fact abolish the worker welfare of TSA altogether 25 years of bullshit! @VP @POTUS @MarshaBlackburn @SenFettermanPA @SpeakerPelosi @SenSchumer
