Six times in 24 hours. That is how many Democratic bills Senate Republicans blocked to fund TSA, FEMA, CISA, and the Coast Guard while ICE negotiations continued.
TSA workers just missed their first full paycheck. An average agent makes just under $50,000 a year. They are required to show up anyway. Hundreds have already quit.
Democrats blocked a Republican short-term CR to fund all of DHS including ICE - that is also true and worth saying plainly. Two American citizens were shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis. Democrats want accountability standards before more ICE funding. That argument has merit.
But merit in one argument does not require holding TSA paychecks hostage to win it. Six bills were offered that would have paid the screeners and funded FEMA and kept CISA running while the harder fight continued. Six times Republicans said no. That is the specific choice that put paychecks on the line.

State Sen. Nathan Dahm (R-OK) has penned several bills loosening gun restrictions, including the nationโs first anti-red flag law. He thinks these bills protect the Second Amendment โ and that they make us safer. We think it's probably one or the other. Watch it on @AppleTVPlus.
@utahhouse21@RobertLusetich@ericareport Accurate! And where do you think most of that money comes from?
If you guessed corporations, you'd be right!
Now you know why we want Citizens United ruling overturned.
