Government shutdown hits spring break travel with hours-long TSA lines
A partial shutdown impacting the Department of Homeland Security left some travelers waiting hours at airport security checkpoints.
These long airport lines are brought to you by Republicans β who refuse to fund DHS unless ICE and CBP can continue to lawlessly terrorize our communities.
Democrats have a bill to fund law-abiding DHS agencies, like TSA, while negotiations continue- but the GOP is blocking it.

Itβs Day 11 of #TrumpsWar. This war of choice has already cost the lives of 7 American service members and numerous innocent civilians in the region, driven up gas prices, and cost taxpayers billions.
And Trump and his administration are STILL struggling to answer the question βWhatβs next?β

McCormick 'worried' about the possibility of Iranian terror at home
The Pennsylvania Republican senator he's worried because Iran has underwritten terrorism throughout the world.
Good news: Democrats have legislation to fund most of DHS, including TSA, FEMA & the Coast Guard.
Bad news: Republicans have said no: They want more funding for ICE & CBP - without reforms to those two agencies that have been terrorizing Americans.

Despite Promises, Veterans Affairs Department Cut Thousands of Roles for Doctors and Nurses
These staffing cuts are a betrayal to our nationβs veterans.
Instead of protecting and expanding veteran benefits, the Trump-Vance administration is making it harder for veterans to access their EARNED care. Shameful.

Gas prices are set to increase amid Iran war. Here's what we know.
What to know about increasing gas prices amid the U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran and what it means for your wallet.
Americans are ALREADY paying more at the gas pump thanks to President Trumpβs ill-conceived war of choice.
He promised to lower costs on day one and get our country out of wars. He has done the exact opposite.
Congress should END his war.

Rather than working for working people, Trump gutted essential services and abused the IRS to enrich himself and his billionaire buddies.

Ted Cruz asks Treasury to approve $200 billion tax cut without Congress
Ted Cruz and Tim Scott urge Treasury Secretary to approve $200 billion tax cut on capital gains without congressional approval.
In Philly and beyond, working families are being crushed by this cost-of-living crisis.
But leave it to congressional Republicans to find yet another way to cut taxes for the Epstein class.

Americans urged to leave Middle East, but many airports are closed and embassy staff is reduced
The State Department ordered the mandatory departure of non-emergency personnel and family members in six countries after the U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia was struck by two Iranian drones.
After starting a reckless, illegal war, Donald Trump and his administration have left Americans stranded in the Middle East and are only NOW just βworkingβ on plans to help get them home.
Their incompetence is staggering and has catastrophic consequences.

Iran Is Far From Building ICBMs, Experts Say, Despite Trump Warning
The U.S. is demanding Tehran curb its missile ambitions, but Iran denies seeking an intercontinental ballistic missile.
I strongly disagree with VP Vanceβs claim yesterday that there is βno chanceβ that military strikes would result in the U.S. becoming involved in an ill-conceived forever war.
I will vote for the War Powers Resolution when it comes to the House floor to rein this reckless administration in!
