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.

@CBSNews In 24 hours the republicans blocked 5 bills to pay the TSA . The democrats want to separate the rest of DHS from Ice funding so it can be debated separately. Blame the Republicans for not paying these people. They are the ones blocking their pay.

@CBSNews Open the government!

@CBSNews @weijia Trump is lying for the millionth time today. Republicans can fix TSA’s pay situation.

It is unfortunate that democrats in DC are holding everyone hostage through non-payment on salaries. However, I will say that travelers who complain of the long waits and lines are the same ones who will stand in line for hours at theme parks like Disneyland. Democrat voters take note.

@CBSNews @grok what are newark airports wait times right now and how long to come before international flight

@CBSNews You can thank you the Dems for your missed flights, cancelled spring breaks and every other travel inconvience they have cause during the Dem Shutdown

@CBSNews @TSA I think it would be better if the airlines took over the TSA screening. It would always be funded and proportional to demand. Most importantly it would not be a tool of politicians!

@CBSNews @TSA I remember when the last unnecessary shut down was over Trump did, in fact, reward those who went to work with bonuses . Hard to go without a paycheck though. Landlords , credit cards and banks should help.

@CBSNews Let’s be clear over 80% of Americans want the safe act. The democrats are holding tsa hostage holding out against it. This is the democrats doing this. Not Trump.

@CBSNews @weijia

@CBSNews why cant we just give tsa a billion to stay afloat?

@CBSNews Constant Bullshit News, fails to mention GOP voted down their pay times. Trump owns CBS

@CBSNews Maybe they should pass a law that everyone gets paid when there's a shutdown except for the politicians.

@CBSNews is this sustainable long term

Think you know who will cut down the nets? Download the app and bet on them to win it all in March!

@CBSNews @TSA Set up a tip cup in each of the locations, and let the folks going through checkpoints all leave you a few dollars each. you’ll earn more than your income for the week and one day. You can even set it up as a Venmo tip cup and make sure it is equally shared across all.

@CBSNews Asking people to work without pay during a shutdown was always going to cause problems.

@CBSNews @weijia He’s already forgotten them.

@CBSNews 😡I feel so bad for the TSA workers. My daughter suffered last shutdown with the FAA, so I truly do understand. NEVER forget that Democrats have now decided that the people are their leverage to get what they want when they don't have the votes or support to get it the right way.

@CBSNews If they dont get paid neither should congress or the house. That might get them to move.

@CBSNews CBS is giving FOX a little competition for "Trump Network"

@CBSNews Why not ask @LeaderJohnThune why he and @SenateGOP refuse to vote on funding for TSA separately from the very controversial ICE funding. This would make your story on #CBSWeekendNews current and interesting.

@CBSNews Not the “radical left” again….kinda getting old…next up: “ who closed the strait?” “Radical left…”.

@CBSNews @weijia CBS to be specific it's the Republicans who voted no to fund TSA and Fema so this is Trump's shutdown. All the money to fly Kash girlfriend everywhere, and Trump to Florida every weekend could fund TSA.

@CBSNews Democrats care more about illegal immigrants than citizens .

@CBSNews @weijia Where’s the part about @SenateDems writing bills to fund @TSA and the GOP blocking it multiple times? Seems like it is incomplete reporting. CBS News has fallen so far. #TurningTabloid

@CBSNews Yea, they’re pretty lame with this shutdown, the ppl the hate (ice) already got their funding!

@CBSNews bunch of bull, Trump wants to privatize TSA, he does not support them. The democrats offered a bill to pay TSA and the republicans refused it, 5 times now

@CBSNews Really? Are y'all reporters or stenographers?

@CBSNews Newark is always like this... TSAA or not. 😂

@CBSNews The dems, who were resoundingly fired by the American public still believe they have the right to dictate policy. Why??

@CBSNews @NorahODonnell The Democrats have tried to pass a bill to pay the TSA workers,but the Republicans keep blocking it because they want the ICE bill passed too.

@CBSNews @weijia Weird that neglect to mention that republicans voted down several bills that would’ve paid @TSA among other agencies. appropriations.senate.gov/news/minority/…

CBS News is the solution is simple if the TSA workers just all walked out at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (code: DCA), Washington Dulles International Airport (code: IAD) and Baltimore/Washington International (code: BWI). Congress would feel the pain and solve the problem.

@CBSNews Nothing on the Congress that IS captured by the radical left. Nothing on the union. Nothing on the wishes of the overwhelming majority of Americans. NOTHING BUT TRUMP.

@CBSNews Blame all Democrat politicians in office. This is due to them, nobody else
