Senate Democrats on Thursday defeated a motion to proceed to a House-passed bill to reopen the Department of Homeland Security and end the 27-day shutdown that has crippled the functions of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and other critical agencies.

The motion failed by a vote of 51 to 46. Centrist Sen. John Fetterman (Pa.) was the only Democrat to vote with Republicans to advance the funding bill.

It marked the fourth time since Feb. 12 that Democrats have voted to block Homeland Security funding legislation.

Really? Three terrorist attacks (Virginia, MI, and NYC) in the CONUS in almost as many days and they still are refusing funding DHS?

What on earth is wrong with the dems (besides Fetterman)? Why do they hate the country so much?

I was watching the "local" news out of DC yesterday and it showed TSA employees lined-up to get donated foodstuffs.

Like most "hands and feet" .gov jobs they don't get paid like the .gov office dwellers.

• Average salary for TSA employees in 2026: $40,769.

• Salaries can range from $38,000 to $60,000 depending on experience and job classification.

Democrats have already proven they care nothing about the lives of US citizens. ALL they care about is THEIR POWER and preserving their 20 million "imported" voters ability to vote.

The department of homeland security sounded like a great idea right after 911, when it was formed, but since they're not operational now, and we don't miss them, should tell you something. Like teats on a boar hog.

Don't you know that the DHS is an umbrella agency or are you just purposely dense?

They control TSA, maybe ICE, who else? Probably FEMA.
I'm dense, but not on purpose.

TSA should strike. That would end this pretty quick.

Maybe. But I doubt that many travelers would miss being shaken down pre-flight.

They are "sicking-out" at a good clip already....Today is their first missed paycheck.

I hope they pay attention to who supports them and who is using them as pawns in a shut-down game.

No one is going to budge and most all of the TSA workers will quit and find real jobs that actually pay money.

Most work for the bennies.....It really only amounts to a job the wife of a carpenter might get for the insurance. That's why so many of them are women.
